I wouldn't get too excited on the scuttlebutt with Lance Thomas just yet. If he were to visit, then there would be something to be excited about. He's used up all five of his officials, so a visit would have to be out of pocket. That would show his interest in tOSU.
I would still be shocked if he went anywhere besides Duke or Rutgers. His Uncle Monty who's been handling his recruiting said in an interview on Monday that it was still those two and that they were waiting to see about transfers and early entries. Someone who has been in contact with Lance and Monty throughout the recruiting process says that the added interest (according to reports) in tOSU and Florida are likely smokescreens. UF doesn't have any scholarships available at this time, and looks to be returning all of their players. So it is unlikely he goes there.
One theory that has been tossed around a lot is that Lance is waiting until the last possible minute to commit, because he knows he's leaving town and would save himself ridicule from the local RU fans, who have labeled him the "savior" of their program.
It's been a long, wild recruitment, so anything can happen and wouldn't be a surprise. I think in the end he ends up at Duke or Rutgers, but like I said, if he visits tOSU, all bets are off.
