Dang, every time I see this thread updated I hope it's because he committed or something.

So, did Rosenthal tweet it?  If so, then I guess that makes it official.

I think Miles is being careful here. An offer should be coming but coach has to be sure. There is risk bringing in a JUCO and Miles had to be absolutely certain that Thomas can be an impact B1G play

I'm hoping we can get both. Thomas and Atewe are pretty different players, so it would be strange to go after only one or the other. not to mention one is a juco and one is not.

 

Thomas is listed at 6'9 now. I think adding him would really help our chances of making the tournament the next 2 years. PItchford and Thomas on the floor at the same time would be tough to guard.

 

Also, Thomas had 12 pts, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks in the game that Miles went to. His team is 21-1.

I'm wondering if this is maybe a sign that we're giving up on Atewe (with his recent Clemson offer.)  Seems like Atewe has been holding out for more "prestigious" schools to get into the mix, which is not good for our chances.  Plus, he tweeted something the other day about hating cold weather.  I think that occurred about the time Clemson got involved.  So, if we're starting to show more interest in Thomas, I wonder if it could be because we've decided we're spinning our wheels with Atewe.

Thomas does not, yet, have an offer.

I don't think we're giving up on Atewe. Obviously not good on our chances that more schools are getting involved. But Atewe has said since before we were really involved with him that he was waiting till his birthday to commit.

According to Robin, Harriman went to see Thomas play the other night.  He said both sides have been talking for a few weeks.  Though a visit date hasnt been set Robin thinks if one should come up, the Feb 16 MSU game is the one he felt he'd come up for.

We wouldn't have him visit if we don't offer him right? What would be the hold up be in offering him? I would assume it can't be because Miles is waiting on Atewe. We already know he won't make his decision until march.

 

you can have 12 visitors a year and theres never going to be that many scholarships open at a time.  Even if you dont offer him you can get him on campus to check it out and if you get to the point where you offer at least he knows what NU has to offer him.  Also it could be you offer him after he visits as he would show hes very interested and you got a chance to see him up close and personal and get to know him a lot better to see if he fits with your team.

Oregon has filled their recruiting class, so NU would just have to beat out Washington St, St. Bonaventure, and Marshall to get Thomas.

 

Oregon has 4 seniors and only 3 basketball commits so I'm not quite sure how they are done.  They are still looking for a couple players actually.  If youre using Rivals as a database they have 2 players on their commit list that are actually football players but because they are in the Rivals database for both sports they put them under both.  The Robinsons are 4* football players and 3* hoopers.

Are you counting the JUCO that just committed to Oregon?

didn't realize they had 3 football players playing basketball. That's pretty crazy. It's going to be tough to get everyone minutes on their team when you basically have 3 extra scholarship players that don't count towards the limit.

Didn't specify one way or the other, so I would assume he still doesn't have an official offer from us.  He is generating some major interest though.
