He also won the game for Bishop Luers on a tip-in at the buzzer, a play symbolic of both the Knights’ team theme as well as Thomas’ overwhelming skill.

Just a glowing report about Thomas and his play at the Pitt Slam Fest. They say he can do it all, Shoot, pass, dribble, D, Rebounds, Blocks shots. Also says that the buzz was that us along with IU are the leaders at this early stage.

Thomas is a player that will have all the hype surrounding him for the next couple years. It would just be amazing if Matta could pull this off and it looks like we are in a good position as of now.

I think we are going to start talking about Sampson/Matta recruiting wars similar to the way we talk about Ohio State/scum wars in football. TM seems to be in on a lot of Indiana HS players.
