Our good buddy ExlusiveClothes had this to say on the Wake board....
"Apprently guys want to play with Conley and its to the point Matta may not have enough schollys for the players in 06." "As for the other guys, Matta needs a PF and Young is a longshot at best. I would not be surprised to see Lance Thomas list OSU in the coming weeks or Derrick Caracter. I have heard both want to play with Conley. I would put my money on LT more so than DC." He posted these things elsewhere: From BN Free board: Young is a LONGSHOT as best. Yea Thomas can really play he is the best big man who isn't a threat to go pro. I bet the Wake board will love reading this quote by EC: HOnestly I don't know how he does it. Cook was a UNC lean, but Matta got him, Conley was a Wake lean, and it looks like Matta may get him also. Oden was a IU lean and Matta may get him too. I talk to alot of recruits and they just love the guy. The parents and other HS coaches like the guy also, he seems to be very high energy and always positive. |

Looks kind of like his dreadlocks get in his face a little bit... I would imagine that would be kind of distracting, but he sounds like a good player.

Thomas averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per game this past season, he is considered the #13 ranked player nationally by scouthoops.com. Thomas says he is open and the following schools are recruiting him the hardest....Arizona, Duke, Villanova, Georgia Tech, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Louisville, Ohio State and Wake. He says the possiblity of playing with Oden, Conley and Cook is a bonus and it would be great, but he is very open at this stage. |

Lance had 13 points, 11 rebounds, and a pair of steals, it wasn’t enough as New Heights fell 59-49 in a game at the TOC. He wants to make a decision sometime early in his senior year. |

5/30/05 Lance is considering taking a break from the summer circuit and his senior season after this month which is very unique for a top prospect because some of the more prestigous tournaments are in the month of July. He may not play in his senior season in order to work out himself and his camp feels this will be more beneficial than playing with a team. His camp feels he has nothing more to prove. |

The kid only averaged 17 ppg as a junior, and he says he has nothing left to prove as a senior? How about a state championship or becoming Mr. Basketball in the state of New Jersey. Or heck, maybe just having fun and being a kid while he still is in high school? I would really have to question Lance's character if he did not play his senior season of high school basketball because of what his "camp" is saying.
