Thomasville’s Thompson down to 2

Published on: 01/24/08

Thomasville’s Brandon Thompson, listed on Scout.com as the sixth-best defensive tackle in the Class of 2008, confirmed Tuesday night that he will commit to Clemson or LSU prior to national signing day on Feb. 6.

The 6-foot-2, 295-pound Thompson received visits last week from Clemson coach Tommy Bowden and LSU coach Les Miles.

If Thompson has a front-runner, he wasn’t in the hinting mood Tuesday evening.

“In my mind, both schools are pretty much the same,” Thompson said. “I don’t have a leader.”

Thompson has completed all of his visits. He will give a verbal commitment to either Clemson or LSU by the end of next week.

“In my mind, both schools are pretty much the same,” Thompson said.

If he doesn’t know the difference between LSU and Clemson then why is LSU recruiting him? I know he’s only 18, but some coaches have a policy, if a kid can’t understand the difference between two unequal schools, they don’t waste their time recruiting. I’m sure he’s a good player, but probably more trouble than he’s worth.

Let’s see, LSU-2008 BCS National Champions. Clemson-not the national champion. I agree with Alex, this guy doesn’t deserve to wear purple and gold.

All of you are stupid for saying a kid doesn’t deserve to wear P&G or he’s more trouble than he’s worth. He’s a 17 year old kid who’s trying to decide where he wants to attend college. Get over yourselves and atleast act like you all have some class. I hate a-hole LSU fans who make the rest of LSU fan base look bad!
