2020 Recruiting: Cam Thomas Update

One thing I noticed when looking at his EYBL stats, this kid isn’t just a shooter. He gets to the lane and draws contact. He averaged a solid 8-10 points per game from the line. That’s how you go from averaging 18 a game to 28, or on a bad shooting night still dropping 18-20, and can be the difference in a W or L.

He loves going to the line - old school in some ways.
 
Cam Thomas reminds me of Ashton Gibbs of Pitt back in the day. Same type of player. Andre Dawkins is another comparison. We can definitely use his shooting prowess.
 
I know we need a center but this kid has been my personal top choice. A future star for sure, wherever he ends up.

Gibbs was 1st team All Big East as a junior during a VERY good Big East season (11 teams made the tournament) and Pitt was a top 5 national team. He hit 49% of his 3s on 7 a game. Maybe Thomas has a higher ceiling, but it would be a good career outcome if he were as good as Gibbs.

Cool, Ben Hansborough won Big East player of the year over Kemba. I think Kemba and Cam are both better than him.

Cam probably won't make it to his junior year of college.

Jimmer was straight buckets no doubt(against weaker comp than kemba) but there’s no way he Shudda won national player of the year over kemba that year. He was the second best player in the country
 
FWIW, Busting Brackets predicts UConn and NC State as the two teams in the running for Cam Thomas, however they pick NC State.

"Thomas has already taken two official visits – one to NC State and one to UConn – and those two appear to be at the forefront of his list, though he has kept things pretty close to the vest."

Give me Cam + Cliff. Anything else is gravy. Would be the one of the best 1-2 recruiting duos for UConn in some time.

@AndreJackson you can come on down too!
 
Could one of the recruiting experts here give a quick comparison between Cam an Rocket Watts that we attempted to go after 2019?

@UConnStats was right when he mentioned that CJ McCollum was a good comp. Has that kind of old man, herky jerky game with great footwork. Can get a decent look any time he wants to. Undersized and non-elite athleticism will be what keeps him from being great if he can't improve on them.

He's the new Ben Gordon (drafted 3rd overall in NBA draft).

Diametrically opposed opinions.

Ben was an elite athlete who could explode on the ground running or jumping.
