DJ Thomas Joins TCU, Boosts Frontcourt

0:00On April 27, TCU just snagged their second transfer portal pickup, and its DJ Thomas coming over from West Virginia to stay right in the Big 12 conference next season. Thomas picked the horn frogs because their playing style matches what he knows. The facilities blow him away, it's close to home, and he wants to. Stick in a tough league like the Big 12. He turned down offers from schools like Cincinnati, Colorado State, Mississippi State, NC State, Oklahoma, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tulsa, with three years. Of eligibility left, and a clear plan from Coach Jamie Dixon on how forwards fit and develop. Last season at West Virginia, Thomas put up 6.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in about 16.7 minutes per game. Now with Thomas on board alongside junior college transfers, Ryan Hunt and Trent Lincoln, plus Long Beach's Gavin Sykes, TCU's building a solid. One court for the run ahead.
