Recruitment Recap: Ja'Meer Thomas impressed the previous Syracuse coaching staff at a camp over the summer. He was one of the most explosive athletes at the camp, showing quickness, elusiveness and speed. He was extremely difficult to cover during one-on-ones and that put him firmly on the Syracuse radar. The Orange would offer after watching the first few games of his senior season, and he committed shortly thereafter. However, a coaching change put his status in doubt. Thomas, while he could not make an official visit, had extensive conversations with the new Orange staff and solidified his commitment.
Evaluation: Speed, explosiveness and elusiveness are the name of the game for Ja'Meer Thomas. He projects as a slot receiver and return specialist at the next level. He is extremely dangerous with the ball in his hands, has a knack for making people miss and can turn a short pass into a huge play. Thomas has great speed, is quick in and out of his breaks and has above average hands. He needs to get stronger, but has all the makings of a dynamic playmaker.
