(KB - 03/23/06) Comets center Krystal Thomas has verbally committed to Duke University in North Carolina. This is the first in what promises to be a series of big time announcements for Comets players in 2006.

Krystal has been heavily recruited since her freshman year. Her combination of size, dexterity, speed and scholastic ability are at the very apex of the wish list for women's college basketball. At 6'4" she has the ability to play in the post and at the point. Duke has made a good catch.

Thomas becomes the second Comets player to verbal to an ACC school. Briyana Blair verballed to the University of Miami back in October. The erstwhile teammates will shortly become fierce rivals. But that's two years down the pike; both girls are juniors who verballed early.

Krystal holds a 3.9 GPA and wants to study orthopedic surgery at Duke. Her focus on academics is typical of all the Comets Red players. All these kids have GPA's north of 3.7 and can get into major colleges based on their academic performance alone.    Basketball, for them, is just a plus.

We want to be the first to congratulate Krystal publicly for her accomplishment. 

Better yet, we want to congratulate Duke!!
