Thomas Commits to Oakland.

Written Wednesday April 27th at 10:30 PM

Oakland University got a heck of a player coming in Billy Thomas.

Thomas committed to the Golden Grizzlies after leading the North Farmington Raiders to the State Championship Game last winter.

Thomas played his freshman and sophomore seasons at University of Detroit-Jesuit but transferred to a Virginia Prep School but then came back to Michigan to play for North Farmington. Thomas was forced to sit out his junior season due to MHSAA Transfer rules but he had an excellent Senior campaign for the Raiders.

Its also nice to know that the Negoshians (Tom and Todd) are still close to the Golden Grizzlies program and Thomas to Rochester is a perfect fit to go along with Brandon Neely. Both Neely and Thomas will be impact players for Coach Greg Kampe with the departure of Kay Felder.

We shall see what happens but Oakland University got a heck of a player coming to them in Billy Thomas.

In the spring I coach shot-put at Scripps Middle School, in my fifth season coaching. I run the shot-put for high school meets. I played Special Olympics Basketball, I've won three gold medals for them. I host "Between Taorminas" which is on ONTV along with a podcast called "OAA Now".
