Marshall at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

Jason Gardner Jr?
You know...I'm struggling where I read that. Seeing Jason Garner's name adds to me feeling old. I remember watching him as a senior go up against Chris Thomas that I was high on and wished he would have went to Purdue instead of ND in a game at Pike. I think Chris as a freshman went for 24 that game? I wrote a bit about him years ago on Mr Hoops. ;) He was most valuable as an 8th grader in Purdue's invite camp. Purdue had a good shot, but...

Chris Thomas – Thomas was the runaway winner in the Mr. Basketball vote as a senior in 2000-01 after helping Pike to a 91-15 record and two state championships (1998 and 2001). Thomas, who also won the Trester Award and was the Gatorade Player of the Year for Indiana, finished with a Pike record 2,156 career points and 499 assists. The 6-1 McDonald’s All-American averaged 23.4 points, 5.8 assists and 3.7 steals as a senior. In four seasons at Notre Dame, Thomas totaled 2,195 points and 833 assists. He averaged 17.1 points and 6.5 assists per game over 128 games from 2001-05. Notre Dame made an NCAA tournament Sweet 16 appearance in 2003. Thomas ranks second in Big East history in assists per game and ninth in points. Thomas played professional basketball in Europe from 2005 to 2012.

Thomas was really good for those ND teams! I remember watching him play.

Would be cool to land Jason’s son!
