Would someone please explain to me why OU went so hard after Thomas. This guys has taken up a scholarship and has not produced at all. Maybe I'm missing something but he doesn't help this team at all.

If we keep playing the way we are right now there will not be another NCAA trip this season.:(
 
Would you rather see DJ put up some "DJ" type games in the starting lineup? Don't say Lattin because he wouldn't have started at the beginning of the season
 
I've been as critical of Thomas as anybody, but even I think your assessment is a bit harsh. He's shown flashes at times, but he's played way too tentative most of the season. That said, he's still our best option to start alongside Spangler right now.
 
Thomas made a huge mistake by leaving Houston. His NBA stock would be a lot higher if he was dominating the American conference. Instead, he has been exposed with BIG 12 competition. It's obvious to me he is too soft. And though Lon Kruger is an excellent basketball coach, I don't think developing toughness is one of his strongest skills.
 
5/9 for 10pts and 8 rebounds so far.

Maybe you all were overreacting?
 
Some folks just are so unrealistic. Just be realistic in life in general
 
Thomas 12 pts 5-10 figs and 8 Rebs. On the road.
Clutch free throws

He's the third leading scorer on the team and second leading rebounder. He may not be an All-American (surely you didn't think he would be), but we'd miss his production badly if he weren't here.

Agreed, if he can play more consistently with a mean streak, he really makes this team significantly better.
 
Ok, I criticized Thomas in the first half and he came out and played lights out in the second half. I know some of you say I was wrong but this guys has talent he needs to show it every game not just once in a while. I will say he played one hell of a second half tonight and so did everyone else.

Good road win!

Amen, brother Sky! I don't even want to think about where this team would be without TaShawn Thomas.
 
Thomas is very good. We won this game tonight with him and Spangler. They were better than Nash and Cobbins. 25 points and 17 rebounds for the pair.
