Palmetto Basketball 2013 Fab Five

There may not be a player in South Carolina having a better summer than Thornwell. In May at the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions, he was named the U15 Tournament MVP after leading Team United to the championship. Thornwell followed that up by earning MVP honors at the Palmetto Showcase the following week in Charleston and then took his game to South Carolina’s team camp where he continued to put on a show. A long, athletic wing player that is capable of stepping outside and knocking the open three pointer Thornwell has seen interest come from several big time schools as well as an offer from Tennessee State.

This kid has over 17 offers now. Says tenn is recruiting him the hardest and he's keeping an eye on the coaching situation at USC.

6-5 Sindarius Thornwell of Lancaster will be the state's top senior basketball prospect next season. He's already sitting on 17 offers with more to come. Thornwell has had strong interest in USC and Clemson throughout the process. But with the possibility of USC ousting Darrin Horn as head coach, Thornwell will have to reassess things from a Gamecock standpoint. “If there was a change, that's a hard question,” Thornwell said when asked how that would affect his view of USC. “Of course, I will still like them because they are in state and close to home. I think coach Horn is a good coach. He's really not had the players he needs, but I think he's a good coach. I like South Carolina.”

2013 prospect 6-5 Sindarius Thornwell of Lancaster said Wednesday night he's not yet been contacted by new USC coach Frank Martin. That call will eventually come to the state's top rated prospect in the junior class. Thornwell liked former USC coach Darrin Horn, and he feels Martin was a good hire by the Gamecocks. "He's a good coach," Thornwell said. "He was winning at Kansas State. He's been successful everywhere he's been." Thornwell did talk with former USC assistant Mike Boynton last week and on Tuesday and said Boynton was scheduled to meet with Martin Wednesday. Thornwell is also hearing from Clemson, Tennessee, Miami, Oklahoma, Wake Forest, NC State and Georgia. He has visited Clemson and USC and will visit Tennessee, NC State and Wake Forest in the coming weeks. He does not have any favorites.

Anyone know if Boynton is staying on the staff or if that has been announced? He is going to be key in trying to lock up Thornwell. Could help with LJ Peak as well.

I haven't seen where anything has been officially announced on that yet...

It'd be nice to lock him up. He's very well rounded.

I think Mike Boynton is the most likely assistant to remain on staff and he would certainly be the most popular amongst Gamecock fans - after all, he was the starting point guard on our last NCAA Tournament team.

Thornwell considering leaving Lancaster

By Phil Kornblut

6-5 Sindarius Thornwell of Lancaster, the state's top prospect for the 2013 class, said Thursday night he is seriously considering transferring to Oak Hill Academy in Virginia for his senior season. "It's better competition and an overall better opportunity," said Thornwell who averaged 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game last season. "I have talked it over with my coach and he's always told me to take advantage of opportunities. He doesn't want me to leave but he said don't turn down a better opportunity." Thornwell said he will make a decision soon. Recruiting wise, he has added offers from Georgia and Ohio State, USC and Clemson remain very active in recruiting Thornwell. He talked with Gamecock coach Frank Martin a couple of weeks ago at the Boo Williams AAU event in Virginia, and he communicated recently with Clemson coach Brad Brownell on Facebook. Thornwell has not cut his list and does not yet have favorites.

Great shooting and an elite athlete, he would be program changing

[Sugedatdude]

I'm pretty sure he's Oak Hill bound. Hopefully he will consider returning to SC after.
