I hope he's here in time to play against Louisville Sunday! We're going to need him.

December of next season.

Glad to have someone of his talent on board!

Thought players only transferred out...not in. But I like it!

Counting him we will have 4 very good transfers in the program.

Mitchell and Reed start next year.

Holmes is playing now.

CBSsports reports that eligible in Dec. 2016

Adds to the other talent sitting out this year...Automatically starts IMO to replace Nnoko & Djitte.

Nnoko and Smith graduate and Legend Robertin and Djitte will be back. We will need to recruit another big man.

Re: CBSsports reports that eligible in Dec. 2016


Jan 6, 2016, 2:18 PM [ in reply to CBSsports reports that eligible in Dec. 2016 ]

Djitte is a Jr.

Nnoko and Smith are the two big men who will be gone.

Djitte Robertin and Blossomgame will be back plus the new guy.

There I go thinking without checking on Djitte


Jan 6, 2016, 2:23 PM

Unfortunately, Smith has been pretty much a non-factor that I forgot about him. Still need a post player or two to go with the whole slew of guards we have.

Good get but do we recruit high school players any more?***

When we start getting more positive attention as we keep winning the high schoolers will notice. Its obvious the college players have taken notice.

Got to find something to gripe about.

This is great for Clemson... Good talent. Better facilities. Young team... As success starts to show... Talented players are recruited and signed. Plus this begins to round out the team vs having mass exodus of talent at one time via graduation.

Probably watched the Syracuse game last night and said, "darn it, those guys are good, looks like they are having fun and I can help" vs playing for some foaming at the mouth whack job that some coaches are

He's had a rep of being lazy and not in shape

Here's to hoping a new environment and fresh start will change all that. Welcome to Clemson!

I see in the article you provided that he played some with Devin Booker. Hope he has more ambition than Devin.

Weaknesses
-Doesn't have great height at 6-8
-Conditioning is not great. Weighed 270 pounds at the LBJ Academy in 2013
-Average athlete. Plays below the rim. Doesn't run the floor that well
-Struggles to finish over length
-Somewhat turnover prone. Doesn't do a great job recognizing double teams.
-Forces the issue at times
-Poor defender. Doesn't give great effort

Other then that he was a Top 50 recruit


Jan 6, 2016, 10:21 PM

and in some polls top 35 ... but what do they know, right ?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Nobody here is questioning his potential


Jan 7, 2016, 1:47 AM

But the jury is still out on whether he's willing to put the time and effort into becoming a good student athlete. I'm glad we had the opportunity to pick him up because we lost out on every big man we tried to recruit this past year. I'd be interested in knowing why he's leaving A&M after one semester. Hope he'll fit into our program.

Great pickup!


Jan 6, 2016, 11:28 PM

He was a very highly recruited player coming out of high school and has a lot of skills on the low block. I'm sure Coach Wienecki is salivating about working with him to polish his game! I am optimistic that Thomas will arrive on campus ready to work. It will be great to have him for 3.5 years starting next January. Losing Nnoko will hurt, but with Blossomgame returning, Djitte's improvement, Robertin's size and potential, and now Thomas, we will be in good shape down low next year.

I guess Brad can't say he can't get top 50 recruits anymore.


Jan 7, 2016, 7:44 AM

at least transfers. He needs to now start doing that from the HS ranks some...
