Chris Thomas will enroll at Phoenix (Az.) Westwind Prep Academy Wednesday, according to head coach Gary Trousdale.
Thomas, a Denver native, is a 6-foot-5 point guard ranked No. 3 in the Class of 2013 by ESPN.com and No. 4 by Rivals.
“We’re extremely excited to have Chris join our basketball family and look forward to him taking Westwind Prep to even bigger and better things in the future,” Trousdale said by phone.
After a freshman year at Denver Montbello, Thomas transferred to Maryland’s Princeton Day Academy.
According to MaxPreps.com, Thomas averaged 34.9 through his first 10 games this season, including one 50-point game against Southside Christian (TN) and three games of 40+ points. MaxPreps had no stats for Thomas past Dec. 28.
Westwind on Saturday won the Arizona 2A state title and Trousdale has proclaimed it his goal to make the program into “Oak Hill West.”
Westwind Prep also features 6-foot-5, 190-pound junior wing Demarquise Johnson, who holds offers from Minnesota, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, San Diego State, New Mexico, Oregon State, Providence and Louisville.

JessieWildcat / February 25, 2011
Chris’s desire to be close to home and his college were the TWO main reason.
Chris Thomas to Arizona Wildcats has a good ring to IT.
And the “AA” Battery News.
There is BUZZing news coming from the West.
“A” – Rosco Allen is about to make a decision.
After the lost , last night, Allen&Father will make a decision.
The father has good quotes.
AND…
“AA” – Ashely (Brandon Ashley).
His TOP5 is coming out.
Do you have it?
Kansas, Oregon, CAl, Arizona and Kensucky.
With kensucky being irrellevant this year, not alot of West Coast players are interested.
The CALI non-coaching skills is real OBVIOUS.
And NO… oregon has NOTHING on ARIZONA.
ARIZONA RISING…
