2009-2010 Player Bios - Jarrell Thomas

Coach Reed On:

#1 Jarrell Thomas: "Jarrell give us the offensive spark off the bench and he had some good ball games for us last season. He prefers coming in off the bench, he is a slasher and a scorer and defensively picks up the intensity. He gained valuable Division I experience last year. He can hit the outside jump shot and helps us defensively with our full court trapping and pressure. He brings many things to the table for us on both ends of the floor."

Why Did You Choose B-CU? "I chose B-CU for many reasons. To come here and play for Coach Reed and to learn from his coaching on the court and to relate on how life will be in the "real world". And to make history for the school by winning a MEAC championship."

If You Were Putting Together a 5-on-5 pickup game with any basketball players in the world - who would be your teammates (not any current B-CU Players)? Manu Ginobli, Jason Kidd, Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant.

Who is one of the most influential people in your life and why? Robbin Myers (Mother) if I was to lose her, I would go crazy. She has been positive to me even though she struggles. She doesn't know just how much I love her. Because of her I am motivated and keep striving for greatness."

After B-CU? "I hope to be successful and happy in whatever job or career I pursue. To live financially free and to enjoy my life."
