Unconquered

Kid is very good. I thought he was juco boumd cause of grades though?

Thomas is a stud, and yes those clips are from his prep school. One of those highlights is of him beating the shot clock and they dont have shot clocks in high school. What is scary is that Montay Brandon is probably better. If we can get Snaer to come back then we could have some lethal guards.

Thomas played against some of the best teams in the nation. Brewster Acdemy played against teams like the team that Dulkys played for, Oak Hill and they even play some of the best high schools in the nation.

Another good one from this season.

Brandon has some good videos on Youtube as well

Will Aaron Thomas come in as a freshman or a sophomore? I don't know how the whole prep thing works.

Any news on of he's enrolling this summer?

We will still be big, we just wont have the waves of big men coming off the bench like we have had the last several years. Turpin is 6'11, White is 6'9, Shannon is 6'10, Space is like 6'8 or 9.

Okaro is twig thin and he still does work in the paint

On average, we will be about making .5 inches shorter in the paint and as a team next year.

Henson and Zeller are twigs and dominate.

I've heard Space is closer to 6'9 and at 230, he is plenty big enough to play inside.

Ignore the last part about James as I don't believe it to be true.

Next years team will be more like the 2006 season when we were guard heavy.

FSU basketball signee emerges asone of nation's top players

With a No. 1 national ranking and a roster filled with Division-I talent, the Brewster Academy basketball team's home gymnasium was a popular stop for the nation's top college coaches this past season.

And perhaps the main attraction at the Wolfeboro, N.H., prep school was a player that no coach other than Leonard Hamilton had a chance at recruiting.

Shooting guard Aaron Thomas, who is finishing up his academics at Brewster before enrolling at Florida State this summer, already was one of the nation's highest-rated players when he signed with the Seminoles in November 2010.

But after a year at Brewster, Thomas has taken his game to another level.

"We've had so many college coaches on campus," Brewster coach Jason Smith said. "And when all the coaches came, I'd bet eight out of 10 would ask about Aaron. They'd say, 'The kid going to Florida State is the real deal.' "

Smith said the list of coaches who inquired about Thomas, a 6-foot-4, 195-pounder who can play guard or small forward, included Kentucky's John Calipari, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina's Roy Williams. But the interest was not mutual.

"Aaron made it very well known that he was firmly committed to Florida State," Smith said.

"Florida State is like a family," Thomas said, explaining why he never wavered. "It's like home. I like the team and the style of play, and a lot of pros come out of there. And that's what I want to do

....

Coming out of Cincinnati's Withrow High in 2011, Thomas was rated by several recruiting services as one of the top shooting guards in the country; he averaged 22.0 points per game as a senior.

But it was his development at Brewster ? often dominating opponents at both ends of the floor ? that have many suggesting he will be the jewel of FSU's 2012 signing class.

"When I recruited Aaron, I knew he could score, but I had concerns about how he would be as a defensive player," Smith said. "I joke with him that people told me he couldn't guard a tree. But defensively, he had a great year. He has exceeded expectations."

....

As part of the development process at Brewster, Smith said students are evaluated every grading period by teachers, dorm parents, advisers and others. The highest achievers ? those who are most prepared for class, who engage in discussions and set a strong example for their classmates ? are named John Brewster Scholars.

Thomas has earned that distinction each time, Smith said.

"Academically and socially, he's been phenomenal around campus," Smith said. "Being named a John Brewster Scholar means he has received the highest recognition. That means he has gone above and beyond ? he's been a leader around campus. Less than 30 percent of our students earn that status every period."

.....

Now, Thomas said, his focus is on helping FSU follow up on its successes of 2012. He said he was not the least bit surprised when the Seminoles knocked off Duke and North Carolina to win the school's first ACC championship, and he believes there are even brighter days ahead.

"A lot of people doubted Florida State because everybody hasn't been paying attention to them," Thomas said. "But I knew what Florida State was about."

And soon, Smith says, Florida State fans will find out what Thomas is about.

"We have six guys who are going to go off and play elite, high-level Division-I basketball," Smith said. "And in my opinion, Aaron is the most ready to play at that level and find success."
