I think the staff thought both had similar potential so with everything equal they chose the local guy. They probably "backpedaled" and started talking to Thomas about a possible position switch b/c they didn't want 2 QBs.


Thomas was rated higher. Miles saw him as an "athlete" and Thomas wanted to be a qb.

They took JJ on as a project with no real intentions of making him "the guy" IMO.

Thomas sure wasn't rated higher by Rivals.

Doesn't matter how the recruiting services rate them, only how the coaches do.

Remember we also had DC Jefferson (eventually signed with Rutgers) committed at one point too (before DThomas I think).
