I think 2 or 3.

2 would be nice.  3 would be awesome.  I mixed up Martin's eligibility issues with Thomas'. I think Martin might have only 1 year left, which if true, can't help us with him given our new-found depth at the PF position.

We don't have depth at PF. If Thomas is a 4, we now have one guy who plays that position.

Not giving any consideration to C Jones?

Nice job by coaching staff.  Keith Thomas definitely fills a void at PF for the Red Storm.

I'll consider Jones a power forward when he learns to rebound and play defense

I certainly am. But he's not a PF, just because we'd like him to be one.

welcome aboard Keith

Nice to see another piece fall into place.    Credit to the staff for addressing a need, re rebounding.

welcome aboard Keith

Welcome aboard big fella. Go get those 10 boards like I said you would

Good job Baldi...got another one right.  yes, Baldi!

Do you get more excited to see "our" team sign a player, or to prove Baldi wrong?

Welcome Keith!!!

Great news! Welcome aboard Keith. Cant wait to watch you play.

Ditto. Still would like Ryan Martin for depth at the 4-5 positions.

If Jones is not a 4, then I don't know what he is.  I did not see a skill set that would effectively allow him to play at the 3.  Either way, Thomas is a big get for us. 

Welcome aboard!

Happy to land Thomas.  Helps put bodies up front.  If he can rebound like his numbers indicate, he can help.  Now let's land Martin too to really sure-up 4/5 spots a bit more.

How's Thomas's defense?    For those who have seen him play multiple times, how would you grade out his defense?

Because just because he's a good rebounder doesn't mean he necessarily plays good D.   

Let's be careful not to give Lavin too many options in the front court. He will tweak lineups until game 25. By then it will be too late.

Won't matter. He has plenty of walkons to work with!

Is Keith a better juco player then gift was

Sign a Player that can really help.

We had a area of need and it has been filled.

Great Job Coach Lavin.

Welcome to the team Keith.
