On Monday, Thomas announced his Top 6. As you can see below, and one SEC school—Florida—is among them, along with Arizona, Gonzaga, Houston, UNLV, and UCLA:

There’s an interesting twist in Thomas’ recruitment, too. According to a report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Mark Anderson on Wednesday, Thomas could opt to reclassify to the 2023 recruiting class and enter college a year earlier than planned.
“I’m exploring all my options right now. A couple of schools do want me to go a year early just so I can get my body ready and stuff like that,” he told Anderson.
Below, you can take a look at highlights from a playoff game from his sophomore season:
