Eric Bossi:
Dave Telep:Sources indicating that 2013 5 star Chris Thomas is out at South Kent. Perhaps going to end up at Evelyn Mack Academy in Charlotte.
Rashaan Gethers:If Chris Thomas left South Kent he's put himself in a position where most of elite schools won't recruit him. Issues must outweigh talent
And finally, Dave Telep has a great blog post summarizing all of this.Five star 2013 guard Chris Thomas back in Colorado. Getting into more trouble. Time is running out...

@DaveTelep Chris Thomas has enrolled at Chipola Junior College.

From Wikipedia:
while the men's basketball program was once home to Auburn standout Chris Porter, Oklahoma State player Mario Boggan, Missouri's Stefhon Hannah, and Indiana's JaMarcus Ellis and DeAndre Thomas.
The men's basketball program has won more state basketball championships under one coach (7 for Milton H. Johnson) and in total (9) than any other junior-college basketball program in Florida, and in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons finished fifth and third in the nation, respectively, and in 2005 received its first-ever No. 1 national ranking.
If anybody is wondering how he ever got admitted to a juco while he is a HS junior (which is probably everybody) i found this.
The High School Dual Enrollment and Early Admission Program, authorized under Florida Statute 1007.27, is a cooperative effort with Chipola College and Calhoun, Holmes, Jackson, Liberty, and Washington school districts and select private schools to provide enhanced learning opportunities for qualified high school students through effective use of college programs and resources.* The program allows qualified high school students the opportunity to enroll free of charge in college courses to earn both college credit and credit toward high school graduation.
A couple of the requirements he probaby got around b/c he is good at basketball b/c as I see no other way.
Be enrolled in a public high school*located within the college’s five county district. (his last HS was in conn., this school is in FL)
Have written approval of the high school principal. (he presumably isn't enrolled in a hs so getting a letter from the principal could be tough)
There are also a bunch of academic requirements that I have a hard time believing he could possibly meet gong to 4 HS's.
Well, apparently Thomas was originally class of 2012 according to a few things people are saying on twitter. If this is true, then Thomas might just be declaring for the 2013 NBA draft and bypassing college completely.
This only makes sense, this whole enrolling in a JUCO thing under what appears to be a strange provision is hardly going to make him qualify for "real" college.
Beyond the Arc has a nice article on Thomas today. Confirming Goose's comments about him likely declaring for the 2013 draft.
Any new news on this guy?
See 3 posts above. Honestly
"Right now Alec Burks is using and abusing this Texas defense"
Reading JG's link above, it appears that he has officially enrolled at Chipola JC , so we have updated the thread title.
In other words -- kid's no longer an option. Get ready to see him in the NBA.
Wrong officially committed to Xavier
Things I hate:
1. Anything red.
2. Michigan
3. Creatini
correcto says rivals. Interesting.
Very interesting. To get into Xavier he must have scored well on the Ivan Drago punch power meter.
I have no freakin' clue what's going on here. This kid has had one of the strangest recruitments I've ever seen.
How is his right jab and left cross?
