Who knows.. Based on what I read, I would guess it sounds like academics. Would have to go JUCO route to come here or could go play at Marshall straightaway.
I just can't figure out why a troubled WR would ever go play at Marshall?? No way that works out, right??

Hopefully he signs closer to the end of the high school semester. Gotta make sure he’s got the grades.
Haha !!! Yeah never works out . Of course it helps to be 6’4 and run like a cheetah with his tail on fire !! Oh Randy ...
Rivals must have already known he wasn't coming here, that's why they bumped him up to 4 stars.
Am I doing this right?

Man that sucks. Kid could be a star and would get a lot of pt as a freshman. Hopefully all will workout. Don't mean to sound insensitive but it's not hard to have qualifying grades in hs to get into a college to play football.
I hope we leave room and sign him later. He could really help us return to double digit wins sooner as opposed to later.
He was a beast in the Shrine Bowl. Will be extremely tough/impossible replacing him, we seriously can't work something out? Him and and Character are two 4 stars we lost because of "grades" Thompson is going to Marshall, Character is going to Louisville.
Maybe they can play at UNC for a year to get the GPA up
I have to think that most teams in the country would have found a way to get two 4 stars Character and Thompson signed and enrolled, like Louisville and Marshall are doing. There is no reason we couldn't have given Thompson a academic redshirt, he even said that's what he wanted if he couldn't get qualified. We must have even greater football academic standards than Harvard.
He could take a couple courses at UNC, not be there, and not do any work and get an 'A'. Wouldn't that make him eligible?
We knew from the start this was a probable outcome with Bryce. Wish it would have worked out for us. He is a helluva talent.
Not at all what happened with Randy Moss. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cb...emption-coming-home-to-marshall-from-fsu/amp/
THIS SUCKS!!!
Kid has 5-star talent.
What makes him eligible at Marshall & not here?!

Real sad, any links to ur claims Marlon Character didn’t come to USC for academic reasons?
I’m not the smartest guy about academic requirements for recruits, so could someone enlighten me about what requirements we have that Marshall University and Louisville don’t have as well?
Any school serious about winning would find a way.
I agree with those who are high on this kid. He has future NFL-er written all over him. Ridiculously talented. Sucks if it doesn't work out, which it sounds like will be the case.
That's highly inappropriate.
Too early to give up on him. We need to do whatever we can to get him in here sooner or later. Don`t want to see him in an opposing teams uniform at Willy B. in the fall. He obviously wants to be a Gamecock.
EDIT:
HOWEVER, if he is eligible to enroll at ANY P5 school, then Pastidis needs to run interference. Local kid? Irmo school? DO IT!
Well, we need to find a way to make it work. Nothing wrong with taking one or two kids that need help academically, imo.
The title of this thread is a little misleading. Thompson is not signing today, but that doesn't mean that he won't eventually sign with USC. Today is the first day of the signing period.
Right, I thought this is what summer school and the "magic wand" is for.
