Kid is gonna be good. Can't wait to see him at UMass. Love how he goes after every block with his length, not physically, and how he's not afraid to hit the floor after loose balls. Looks to have good hands as well.
Team is going to be pretty big next year

Looks like he has some passing ability too. In the other vid he was showing a soft touch of FTs as well.

These games were in early 18. I think this year he had an injury and missed some time.

Hoping he continues to develop physically. Lot of time until fall.

Love the optimism! But I doubt he'll have any regrets... kids these days don't seem to be wired like that anymore.

That may depend in part on where he winds up.

I really wanted Thomas to come here, and team up with Tre, Sy, and Samba as the frontcourt of the future. Could have been a pretty formidable group, with Djery this year, and beyond.
But, its his decision, and I wish him well, just wish it was at UMass.

Love how the new guys are starting to establish that culture of family, all for one, one for all. Its a great start. Bring UMass back
