DeShaun Thomas Still Committed To Ohio State

On May 31, super freshman, Deshaun Thomas committed to the Buckeyes. After other coaches complained that it wasn't fair to their team that he committed so fast, he decommitted from Ohio State. Recently his coach has said he is solid on his commit to OSU. DeShaun Thomas, who will be a Sophomore next year, averaged 27.1 PPG in his first year in high school. People said the talent he was facing was weak. He proved he was a player on the AAU circuit by tearing it up. DeShaun Thomas is rated as the top player in the 2010 class and fellow Buckeye commit, Jared Sullinger, is ranked in the top 5.

      No. It is going to be a great class, but it can't be as good as the Thad 5.

      I would love a class of Pe"Shon Howard/DeShaun Thomas/Jared Sullinger.

    whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA! If that man has made his mind up, i don't see the problem with him committing to the school of his choice! IF OSU is where he want's to go so be it. Recruiting and commitments aren't always a sure thing from either the institution in particular nor the potential recruit. But in this case, Thomas was a little hurt of all the talk of early commitment and so he temporarily pulled out. But it looks like he is sure of himself.... STAY TUNED.....

      Just like there is or never will be another Michael Jordan, there is no next Lebron James. Those positions were filled permanately! But i knew what you meant.
