    Gotta love the coach speaking for a kid that just spoke for himself. At least, a "source" says Xavier has made one of the best impressions.

    I imagine it was one of those: "Shit, he said that? I have to tell the media that's not true, and then convince him that the very short list was a bad idea."

    It's interesting that we're still so high on Thomas' list. I thought that ship sailed long ago, just reading between the lines. He would probably be our highest ranked recruit ever, but I've always been concerned about his maturity and attitude. I hope he's turned a corner in that regard, because with our depth for the future, we're going to need only guys who buy into the team concept and system. That said, he's extremely talented and has elite potential. If Mack wants him and can get him, I'll be very excited.

    I'm not holding my breath. It is very difficult to get kids that highly rated. They have so many handlers in their ears trying to steer them toward a Kentucky, UNC, etc.

    We may get in their final 2-3 schools, but ultimately somebody like a Kentucky is going to give a kick back to the kid's AAU coach or something and he is going to end up going elsewhere.

    I'm sorry, I know it's the wrong forum. However, it's so funny to think of Xavier vs. Dayton in this regard.

    Xavier, UK(ickback) and Florida...love that these battles off the court are becoming commonplace.

    I believe it was a typo. In the tweet about the story, the recruit scoop said he was 2013 and I've seen nothing to indicate he's reclassified.

    I like that his grandmother is showing Xavier some love, and ESPN says X is in his final 3

    Three schools are working the hardest on Chris Thomas, the Rivals No. 1 shooting guard in the Class of 2013.

    “Xavier, Missouri and Iowa State,” Latonia Smith, Thomas’ grandmother, told SNY.tv Thursday by text.

    Asked if Kentucky or Seton Hall were involved, Smith added, “I haven’t spoken to a coach from those universities in months.”

    One source close to the recruitment described Thomas as a “high-risk, high reward” type of player who could be a “pro if he handles his business off the court.”

    Smith emphasized that the 6-foot-5 Thomas was focused on getting his grades in order at South Kent (Conn.) and on graduating this spring as his first priority.

    He will then spend another year in prep school.

    Xavier assistant Rasheen Davis was recently at South Kent to watch Thomas, and Smith previously said Davis and Thomas enjoyed a strong relationship.

    “With Chris, he really likes Xavier because the assistant coach, Rasheen Davis,” Smith said in Novermber. “He really likes the way Rasheen communicates with him and encourages him and is always in his corner, so he really likes that about him.”
