Im mixed on this one. I think now that he will wait till atleast his junior year to decide. I hope he still comes here but with calvin burning up the phone lines it will be hard for him. Hopefully he has the willpower to say no and sticks with his original team he chose.

Thomas, Knights in search of another championship
Greg Jones
High school sports editor

Just in time to win a Class 2A state championship, the Bishop Luers boys basketball team turned around the notion that they were only a one-man team. A repeat title will take more of the same.

Junior superstar Deshaun Thomas returns for the Knights (24-3 last year), and he is bringing along three other starters in a quest for back-to-back championships.

Saw on Rivals that we have the #1 class so far in 2010, I like it!

Hopefully they are building up for another National Championship game run, this time we will win!

Averaging 40 pts after the first 2 games! It's gonna be sweet to see how he does throughout the year. I can't wait to see him play for us!

How does Matta Get all these guys?

It seems like there is at least 2 five star prospects in every class since he has been here!

Keep it up Matta!

Thomas is located in Matta's backyard in Indiana.........he has a ton of contacts and is well respected in the area.........that is why he has been successful in Indiana to this point.

I just find it amazing how good of a recruiter Thad has been. He's consistently bring in top talent to Ohio State and seems to really have a good on court relationship with his players.

-- Considering how well he recruits... do you see him lasting here much longer? i.e. going to a more basketball powered school?

I think Matta believes at tOSU we can consistently win and the resources are there.........he has proven he can get it done at a football school.....I don't think he would leave unless a job at UNC, Duke or UCLA opened up......
