Welcome home, Mr. Brinson! (Preseason post #3 of 30)

You'll be able to tell watching the video above I am very happy San Antonio is back home!                 

Twenty-four hours after releasing my post about the transfer who I believe will make the biggest impact in our area, Madison Williams, I learned San Antonio Brinson will return home to attend Thomson High School for his final year.  Brinson, a 6'8" senior, decided to leave Aquinas after his junior year.  After playing on Thomson's summer league team, he moved to Greenville, South Carolina, for his final year.  But he recently changed his mind and will join a group with more potential than Thomson coach Michael Thomas has had in a long time.

Last season I frequently called San Antonio the area player with the "highest ceiling" as a college basketball prospect.  6'8" wings who are agile and can shoot and handle the ball don't grow on trees. He now has experience leading a team after playing a season at Aquinas without Ahmed Hill.  I predict he will have a great final season back home in Thomson.

Coach Thomas is especially excited about mixing Brinson with a promising group of returning players.  Radaren Johnson led the team as a sophomore, and fellow junior Darius Turman has shown promise since returning from an injury last January.  Add 6'4" senior James Lowe and it's easy to see why the Bulldogs can advance deep into the post season in region 3 of class AAAA.
