Grand vision, close ties drive Thomas' A&M verbal

Billy Kennedy and the Texas A&M basketball staff remained red hot on the 2015 recruiting trail when top-25 national prospect Elijah Thomas from Lancaster, Texas became the fourth DFW-area senior to commit to the Aggies during a hat ceremony Tuesday afternoon.

The addition of the 6-9, 245-pound power forward pushed A&M’s class into rarefied air, with several recruiting services moving the Aggies' quartet of verbal pledges into the No. 2 national spot.
