On April 27th, TCU Horned Frogs coach Jamie Dixon scored a solid frontcourt boost Monday with a commitment from West Virginia freshman transfer DJ Thomas. This 6'9 forward from Allen, Texas brings real size and upside to Fort Worth. He steps in with three years of eligibility left after one college season. Thomas put up 6.6 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in 38 appearances for the Mountaineers.
He shot an impressive 49.5% from the field as a key bench contributor. Now he's ready to level up in a bigger role. High school ball was where Thomas shined brightest at Allen High. As a senior, he averaged 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, earning UIL 6A All-Region honors on A.
Semi-final run. His junior year, 10.3 points, 5.4 boards, and a 32-win season. Fans are buzzing about how Thomas fits TCU's rebuild, adding Texas grit to the roster. His transfer edges out spots from schools like North Texas and UTSA back in recruiting.
Dixon's staff move fast to lock him down. With Thomas in the mix, the Frogs live deeper heading into next season. Watch for him to carve out minutes and grow that game.
