High school and college career
Thomas attended Bolingbrook High School in Illinois where he played basketball. At Bolingbrook, he "played second or third fiddle" to teammates who went on to play for NCAA Division I schools. As a result, he received comparatively less attention from college basketball recruiters.[1]
Thomas committed to play college basketball in NCAA Division II for the Truman State Bulldogs. Before his freshman year, he suffered an injury which forced him to redshirt.[1] In the meantime, his grades suffered and he transferred to Southwestern Community College where he grew four inches, added fifty pounds, won a NJCAA Men's Division II Basketball Championship, was named the MVP of that tournament, was First Team All-Iowa Community College Athletic Conference, was named Second-Team All-American and attracted the attention of NCAA Division I recruiters.[1][2]
However, he ultimately decided to return to Truman. He played three seasons for the Bulldogs.[3] As a senior, he was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Year and scored a school record 666 points.[4]
