Burlington, N.C. The Burlington School senior guard Jamarii Thomas announced his commitment to UNC-Wilmington on Tuesday afternoon.
Thomas had to overcome adversity in order to reach this point. He missed the 2018-19 basketball season when attending High Point Christian Academy following a torn ACL and meniscus. The six-foot, 185-pound guard bounced back from those injuries by averaging 15.6 points, 2.9 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.8 steals a night for Piedmont Classical last winter. The Bobcats would finish 25-9 overall.
As a senior, Thomas is enrolled at The Burlington School and was able to play AAU basketball for Team Curry 17U. That is when Division-I interest started rolling in following many standout performances in various events throughout the summer and early fall.
