Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4708762, member: 40"] Maybe. But he's only 6-7, so that probably inhibits his flexibility in that regard. I think we had interest. But please keep in mind that Malcolm Thomas was only rated as a three-star recruit. Agree with 721 above that Freeman was a higher priority for the staff -- and justifiably so. Doesn't mean that Thomas couldn't play / contribute here. But Red and staff are seeking to elevate the talent level, and landing Freeman was a big step in the right direction there at forward. Thomas might be able to play in the pivot, but he's a little on the smaller side, so it probably worked out best for all parties concerned. I don't think that Etan overtly steered him away from Syracuse, the fit just wasn't optimal for them or us. [/QUOTE]
