Adonis Thomas, a Memphis native, has been turning heads in Las Vegas this week. Coach Calipari also has Coach Antigua keeping a close eye on Thomas this Summer. Jody Demling got a chance to talk to the Under 17 Gold medal winner while in Vegas:

A big-time athlete, the 6-foot-6, 190-pound Thomas has a lot of major colleges – including the University of Kentucky – tracking his progress with the Memphis Magic.
UK coach [B]John Calipari [/B]and assistant [B]Orlando Antigua[/B] have been watching Thomas, along with coaches from North Carolina, Memphis, Tennessee, Ohio State, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, UCLA and Duke. Calipari recently made a call on Thomas.
“I’m still wide open but I want to start narrowing it down soon,” Thomas said. “There are still a lot of schools calling and showing interest. I’m just trying to focus on winning now.”
Thomas said he has a relationship with Calipari from his days in Memphis and noted his father “has always been a fan of his and I love his style. He puts players in the league.”

There should be a lot of drama to come with the 2011 class, and a host of names that all the Big Blue faithful will get to know over the next year. Have fun and enjoy the ride.
