The big difference with Thompson, we started our own city school system and hired the right coach.
Try again Gomer, the paying the players thing is getting old.

Hold on a sec.....I wanna make sure I understand what you're saying...

I don't know if that $1M figure is true or not, but let's say that it is.....you genuinely believe he/his family turned down $1M just because they love Alabaster/Thompson so much and that there wasn't a counter offer that matched or at least came close?

And before you try to say they stayed because you think Thompson just gave him the best chance to succeed, he was already considered a top priority recruit as early as 4 years ago...he was gonna be a big name signee no matter where he finished HS.
