6'5/180

ESPN

Strengths:
A point forward prospect that has great upside. He has spectacular court vision combined with a high level of athleticism. He is shifty with the ball inside the arc splitting defenders and finishing with either hand at the rim or feeding the open man. Standing at 6'5 he can look over the defense pinpointing his pass or shooting a floater he likes going to.

Weaknesses:
He still needs to improve his jumper, it has a sideward rotation and inconsistent release at this point. As his elbow gets under the ball more, it will straighten out his shot. Sometimes he gets lazy and loses focus.

Bottom Line:
His drive game, passing ability, and versatility make Thornwell a top prospect in the 2013 class in South Carolina and a high-major talent.

"While he currently claims no front runner in his recruitment, he said Clemson, Tennessee and N.C. State have been recruiting him the hardest thus far."-redandblack.com

He was supposed to but apparently never made it in. According to 247 he is receive a visit from coaches though earlier in the week after informing them he wouldn't be able to make it in. Hopefully not a bad sign, this kid is a big time player.

Fwiw he didn't visit on his last planned trip, maybe vandy? Not sure if you were counting that.

Edit: it was the Georgia game he was supposed to come in, 2/4/12.

I'm kind of confused but is there a chance that if we take Thornwll's commitment, would we still take Markel Crawford's commitment since we are the leader for him?

Probably depends on the others.

I think well sign somewhere between 5-7 in the 13' class. Right now we have Landry committed, if thornwell committed we'd probably look at hubbs, king, Johnson before we took crawfords committment. Jmo
