Lebron Thomas is definitely a player that should be on our radar. He is a 6'3 Freshman PG at Vincennes University.

Currently, he is averaging 17.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. VU is ranked #3 in the country and is having a fantastic season.

Toughness and defense are requirements to play for Coach Franklin at VU. He is shooting 37.7% on 3's. What also sticks out is that he gets to the line and makes them. He is currently averaging 7.4 FT attempts per game and hitting them at an 81.3% clip.

Lebron will certainly have a lot of options this season or next as he is a freshman at VU.

Having said that, the JUCO recruiting landscape has changed as many top JUCO guys are finding immediate playing time and success playing for mid-majors. Additionally, Coach Franklin is very honest with his players and their potential roles when they move on.

From their recent 2019 National Championship team, they had players go to Loyola Chicago, Oakland, W Kentucky, and Wichita St among others (total of 8 D1 guys off that team).

Between their jamboree and the JUCO National Tournament at Hutch, these guys get a lot of exposure. But, certainly, if we want to be a program to be at the top of the MVC we need to be willing to go head to head and win some recruiting battles over good programs.
