@JUCOAdvocate says: "Great get for the Bearcats... DaVeon is one of if not the top guard in JUCO this year."

Just committed to UC! https://twitter.com/DayDayThomas24/s...197826/photo/1

This is a big get I think...

2 years of eligibility, one of the top JUCO players in the country. With DeJulius (and Phinisee) out of eligibility and bringing in a freshman PG, a nice add to the backcourt.

He picked UC over WVU.

Yeah, timing is everything... and with DerMarr leaving for WVU... Gotta bad feeling where Thomas will end up.

You can never have too much talent, especially this highly rated PG, but they need big men. Lahkin is a stud, but needs help and relief for fouls trouble. Ody seems to be much more of a small power forward than true 4, definitely not 5.

I don't know where things stand with his recruitment, but I believe UC is still in on him.

JucoRecruiting.com has him ranked as the #4 prospect in junior college https://www.jucorecruiting.com/2023-juco-top-100

Chad Brendel believes Thomas is down to WV & UC. He expects a decision within the next two weeks. Thomas apparently has no other visits planned.

Apparently he also has visited West Virginia (Chad B mentioned on BBP podcast last night)

[GoBearcats31]

I'm not sure where his recruitment stands, but some stats:

31.6 mins/game through 13 games (13 starts)
20.5 points (45.6% FG, 42.1% 3PT, 90.1% FT), including two 30+ point efforts
6.2 rebounds
3.1 assists

[Lobot]

Right now we have one healthy serviceable PG and he's not a natural for the position. James is coming and we could use depth regardless of which one of them starts.

[RedDog]

A perfect replacement. We have one of those now.

[bearcatbret]

He seems to like jacking his 3's about 4 feet beyond the arc.

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

What do we know about him?

[swilsonsp4]

He's on an official visit.

Was at the game tonight, per Dan Hoard early in tonight’s broadcast
