From Texas Rangers beer vendor to backup shooting guard for the Red Raiders ...
In getting to know Thomas a bit he's every bit as excited about being here as Beard is and just wishes he had more time as a Red Raider.
This quote at the end of the story pretty much sums up Beard as a coach too:
"I've learned as much from Thomas as I could ever give him as his college coach," Beard said. "Thomas is everything that our teams and culture strive for: unselfish, a great teammate, humble but confident, competitive, has the love of the game, physically and mentally tough, positive, always improving, and a winner. I get emotional when talking about my daughters or the end of Thomas' career."
