Quick Post: Dustin Thomas Video

... blah, blah, football...

Wait a second, Dustin Thomas finally has high school highlights available for all to see?  It's time to break out the breaking news bell!

Thomas, one of three signees in the 2013 basketball recruiting class, had been mostly an unknown quantity to this point.  As far as I know, no one outside of the coaching staff had seen film on him.  It just didn't exist.  (insert Manti Te'o joke here)

When I asked rivals.com basketball guru Will Whelan about getting some film on the kid, he suggested I fly to Thomas' home town of Texarkana myself.  Heaven help me, that's never going to happen.  (I have an explicit "mess with Texas" policy, and am probably no longer welcome in that state.) Thankfully, the internet enables laziness, and has provided BuffNation with it's first true glimpse of the 6'8" forward.

A big hat-tip to @TZiskBuff for bringing this to the world's attention.  I doubt he flew to Texarkana for this, but if he did, someone needs to buy him a beer or 20.
