Cameron Thomas

On November 18, 2019, Thomas committed to play college basketball for LSU. He chose the Tigers over an offer from UCLA, among others, after taking official visits to both schools.

As a freshman, Thomas began playing basketball for Oscar F. Smith High School in Chesapeake, Virginia. He did not play in his sophomore season because he and his mother "weren't on the same page" as the team's coaching staff. For his junior season, he transferred to Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, where he joined Cole Anthony and Kofi Cockburn in one of the most touted teams in the country. Thomas averaged a team-high 26.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, leading his team to a 31–5 record. In July 2019, he was named Offensive Player in the Year in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League after averaging a league-best 29.5 points per game for Boo Williams. As a senior at Oak Hill, Thomas averaged 31.5 points, six rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, leaving as the program's all-time leading scorer. Thomas posted 30-plus points in nine games, including two 40-point performances. He led his team to the Tournament of Champions title, where he was named most valuable player. Thomas was selected to play in the Jordan Brand Classic.
