Here is an excerpt from the ESPN article:
His development under Calipari and familiarity with the Hall of Fame head coach gave Arkansas the edge for his commitment.
“He’s known for putting guys in the NBA that also stay in the NBA and coach Kenny Payne, who is now with him again, was also there for some of those years,” Thiero said. “After already playing for him and developing after two years, I feel that he knows my game and will put me in the right position to succeed and achieve my goals.”
