Chris Thomas chose Xavier earlier this month largely because of his relationship with assistant coach Rasheen Davis.
But now Davis is on the move to Manhattan, which begs the question, What does that mean for Chris Thomas?
“He is still committed to Xavier and will continue to be for now,” his grandmother, Latonia Smith, told SNY.tv by text Saturday night.
The talented, yet enigmatic Thomas is the Rivals No. 1 shooting guard in the Class of 2013.
He is currently at Chipola (Fla.) College but he sat out this season after making previous stops in his home state of Colorado, Bowie (Md.) Princeton Day, Phoenix (Ariz.) Westwind Prep and South Kent (Conn.). He will suit up next season.
When he committed to Xavier earlier this month, Chipola assistant Pat Blake told SNY.tv : “I think it came down to his relationship with Coach Davis the past few years. With all the moving around that Chris has done, I think Coach Davis had been the consistent presence and consistent coach in his life.
“To me, there wasn’t really ever another school in the picture.”
