Edit: Elijah Thomas to a&m
He's deciding at 1:30 pm (I feel like this must have all been posted, but I didn't see it and I didn't look hard)

One excerpt:
"With LSU they have a really great coaching staff and they’re gonna have a great team next season. I really
liked the atmosphere around campus and I definitely think they’re on the come-up. With Oklahoma State, I love that Jawun Evans is there; that definitely helps them with me. It’s definitely one of my favorite schools; I know the whole team and the coaches and the atmosphere there is really live.
Then you’ve got Texas A&M and my bruh just committed there. If I went there that would make 4 of the top 5 in the state committed there. They were the first to offer me a scholarship when I was in the eighth grade and I’m close with the team and the coaches. So I know it would be a good look.
Illinois is a school I really like a lot; I love how they maneuver their posts in their offense. Coach Groce is a great coach and I love the atmosphere there too. Their fans are crazy and they showed me a lot of love on the visit. Plus, I’m really close with all of the guys committed there.
Then there’s SMU and THE Larry Brown. It’s close to home and I know they’re gonna be a really strong team this year and the year that I get on campus. That’s definitely attractive to me. Plus you can’t beat playing in your own backyard. That’s definitely a selling point for me because I’m close with my family and them being able to see me play would be big."

Well, wouldn't be surprised if he chose any of the 5... It seems pretty close to me. OSU was the early favorite, aTm seems realistic because of Gilder, and SMU is the wildcard.

He hints that he may want to play football. Is that good or bad for SMU?

We were hoping on synergy and it kinda bit us in our [deleted]. I really do believe in synergy recruiting though.
