Calling his three years at Ohio State the best of his life, forward Deshaun Thomas announced today that he will forego his final season of eligibility as a Buckeye. Thomas finishes his Ohio State career ninth on the school's all-time scoring list. He averaged nearly 20 points and six rebounds per game this season. Thomas says that while he intends to finish his degree, he believes now is the best opportunity to pursue his dream of being a professional basketball player.
