The recruitment of Kansas transfer Quintrell Thomas was expected to come to an end following the upcoming holiday weekend.
Now, it appears that the 6-foot-8 New Jersey native would rather not have that impending decision on his shoulders over Memorial Day.
Thomas's former AAU coach, Derrick Bobbitt, told the Albany Times-Union on Tuesday that an announcement should be coming on Friday.
Last week, Bobbitt told The Sun that Thomas would wait until after Memorial Day weekend to decide between the three schools he'd taken official visits to -- St. Joe's, UNLV and Siena. Then, it was reported late last week on zagsblog.com that Thomas would make one more visit -- this time to Iona -- on Monday.
According to Bobbitt, that visit never took place.
Thomas averaged 1.5 points and 2 rebounds per game for the Jayhawks, who advance to the Midwest regional semifinals in Indianapolis this season. He will sit out the 2009-10 season per NCAA rules, but will have 3 years of eligibility remaining come the 2010-11 campaign.
