Recruiting Report: Will Thomas (2019)

<h2>November 21, 2015</h2><p>One of 2019&#39;s up-and-comers <strong>Will Thomas </strong>recently made a switch from Our Lady of Mount Carmel to Lake Clifton, and is a wave of the future in Maryland high school hoops. </p> <p>The rangy 6-foot-4 freshman guard had a great summer with Baltimore Elite, receiving plenty of exposure in the process. He says his parents have fielded calls from a bevy of Division I programs.</p> <p>“I haven’t talked to any, but I have seen a couple that have shown me interest, they&#39;ve called my parents; Maryland, Rhode Island, Cal State-Northridge, Georgia State, and Loyola (Maryland),” said Thomas.</p> <p>“Sometimes I think about it (recruitment), and sometimes I don&#39;t. It’s a long term goal, so right now I’m thinking about my high school season, and my AAU season after that.”</p> <p>The talented and good-sized guard says his energy and leadership were his strengths this offseason with Baltimore Elite.</p> <p>“What I did good with Baltimore Elite was I brought energy and I was a leader. I was good at pumping my teammates up and being a go-to man,” said Thomas, who says he’ll play with Team Melo next summer.</p> <p>“I think I’ll get more exposure with Team Melo, and just wanting to play with new people.”</p> <p>The 6-foot-4 combo guard described his style of play to <em>PHM</em>.</p> <p>“I’m ambidextrous and it’s easy for me to finish with both hands, and I feel I’m consistent too. I need to work on my rebounding and being more consistent,” said Thomas, who enjoys playing point guard more than shooting guard.  </p> <p>“I want to get my team involved more, and make my players around me better. I love assists.”</p> <p>The talented 2019 was slated to start his high school career with Our Lady of Mount Carmel, but decided to switch to Lake Clifton recently.</p> <p>He’ll start the season playing JV, and in the post.</p> <p>“In high school I’ll play the five, so I’ll have to develop post-moves and defending stronger older guys and rebounding,” said Thomas. “The main reason I’m playing in the post is because I’m playing JV.”</p> <p>On whether he’ll play varsity by season&#39;s end...</p> <p>“It’s the coach&#39;s decision, if they need me I’d love to play varsity,” he said. “I’m just going to rebound and give it all I got and close out games, and defend well.”</p>
