Many basketball fans attending the Real Deal on the Hill tournament this weekend in Fayetteville will be there to see next year?s top prospects, but they?ll also be able to see some of the top players for the 2010 and 2011 classes.

Power forward Deshaun Thomas, 6-7, 220 pounds, of Fort Wayne (Ind. ) Bishop Luers led the state of Indiana in scoring as a freshman. He?s already established himself as one of the nation?s elite players as a sophomore and is rated the No. 3 player in the nation in the 2010 class by ESPN. com?s Bob Gibbons.

Thomas, who will play for Spiece Indy Heat, has made an early commitment to Ohio State, Gibbons said.

?He?s very good,? Gibbons said. ?He could be the real deal of the Real Deal on the Hill, pun intended.? Gibbons said some are questioning whether Thomas? commitment will stick, and Thomas said he might make other visits. But he is still leaning to Ohio State, Gibbons said.
