Time to close this thread. The nine that made it: Arizona, Connecticut, Duke, Villanova, Florida, Rutgers, North Carolina, Louisville and Wake Forest.

When you watch one of Lance Thomas' games at the Peach Jam, it's hard not to take a peek down "coach row" to check out the "Who's Who" that is watching the New Jersey forward. Thomas' list sits at nine right now - and he plans to get it down to a handful in the next couple weeks.

Lance Thomas?
Any word on Lance. I know the official thread on him is closed, but I heard rumblings that after the Roundball Classic, he is now considering OSU again. Is there anything substantial to that? I know the Buckeyes were talking him up all weekend. Love to add a PF to our class.

I wouldn't get too excited on the scuttlebutt with Lance Thomas just yet. If he were to visit, then there would be something to be excited about. He's used up all five of his officials, so a visit would have to be out of pocket. That would show his interest in tOSU.
I would still be shocked if he went anywhere besides Duke or Rutgers. His Uncle Monty who's been handling his recruiting said in an interview on Monday that it was still those two and that they were waiting to see about transfers and early entries. Someone who has been in contact with Lance and Monty throughout the recruiting process says that the added interest (according to reports) in tOSU and Florida are likely smokescreens. UF doesn't have any scholarships available at this time, and looks to be returning all of their players. So it is unlikely he goes there.
One theory that has been tossed around a lot is that Lance is waiting until the last possible minute to commit, because he knows he's leaving town and would save himself ridicule from the local RU fans, who have labeled him the "savior" of their program.
It's been a long, wild recruitment, so anything can happen and wouldn't be a surprise. I think in the end he ends up at Duke or Rutgers, but like I said, if he visits tOSU, all bets are off.

The reason this thread has stayed closed is for the simple fact that our chances are slim at best. Thomas was asked point blank after the game on Sunday about his possible interest in tOSU and he said we were not in the picture. Until something changes or like OSUbucks22 has indicated, he takes a visit, well everything on the boards is pure speculation at this point.
