Why is this recruitment any different than Newton's?

I have no clue about schools outbidding each other for recruits except for the fact that people claim it happens, and it probably does for certain recruits. I do know that Cam Newton is going to be a playmaker the minute he steps on the football field, and getting a good QB that fits your system with college experience is a lot bigger of a deal than getting a player at a position where we already have playmakers for next season. That's not to say Thompson going to Ole Miss doesn't suck because he is going to be a freak, it's just that we need a player like Cam Newton very badly. Also, CN teased the 17 out of us.

Folks on this board thought he was a lock and the only way we could have lost him was being outbid(i dont care that we didnt get him, didnt really like him as a person) but with Thompson it was a toss up till the end so losing him was not so much of a shock
