Chris Thomas (Commit Other)

I agree. My point is that you cant really call him the future of Xavier basketball considering so many things can change. Doesn't he sign an LOI at some point ? Even though he's going to be a JUCO ?

Think of what has happened in just the last few weeks!

How long is most of an off-season, an entire season and another off-season in Musketeer years?

He can't be reclassified to 2012. He didn't qualify out of HS and enrolled at JuCo so the only way he can qualify now is via JuCo -- which requires about 2 years, completion of a series of core courses, and a 2.5 GPA.

If what you say is true then Chris Thomas would not be eligible until mid-way through the 2013-2014 season because that would be the his two year mark. Bottomline, neither know the ins and outs of JUCO eligibility.

He doesn't have to stay in CC two years. My guess is the theory here is that he can first get his GED, taking the "pass ged" and college classes at the same time, then take one year of college courses to get his college GPA established as well as get his test scores up. This will erase the probably terrible hs transcript since he will hopefully have a good college GPA.
This is where the "longshot" comes in. Has to totally change his habits and buckle down. If he otherwise just keeps hanging around until he's 19, some pro club will take a chance on him (maybe not in the US, but somebody).

His HS transcript may have been so fractured the Prep Schools told him "2 years" after this year.

He comes next year, 2013-2014.

You can really see this guy is comfortable with his dribble. Better than most at his level.
No defense is played in these games, but he seems good as reported. Hope he really comes to Xavier and makes some positive noise.
