Lucas: Big Man, Little Drama

Posted Aug 7, 2006

Cam Thomas grew up a Florida State fan--agonizing when Carolina thumped the Seminoles 41-9 in 2001--and his father was a Clemson fan, so he already had connections to two ACC powers. It could have been one of the recruiting battles of the year. It could have been. But it wasn't. Instead, Thomas committed to Carolina during February of his junior year, a full year ahead of schedule. By the time the next signing day rolled around, he was almost an afterthought in the Tar Heels' 2005 haul. (Tar Heel Blue)
