Your average run of the mill college player. Has not done anything particularly noteworthy. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 00:50, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Thomas was a very highly touted recruit out of high school. He received considerable attention on the recruitment circuit. He started half the 2014-2014 season for an Iowa State team that made it to the Sweet Sixteen. In the 2015-16 season Thomas will be either the first or second player off the bench. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.33.112.137 (talk) 04:09, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nominator, a college player and campus hero. I'm sure he's very valuable to his team, but that puts him on a par with thousands of others. I remember when Weber St. beat UNC in the NCAA tournament with a 7' center hitting three 3-pointers, when he had never made a single one before (and never did again). College play, without something shocking (Hank Gathers? Len Bias?) or staggering that's talked about nationally and for years, won't pass the bar. Hithladaeus (talk) 12:16, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. I am not seeing enough independent sources to indicate he meets WP:GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 15:10, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
