Thomasson on HBU:
"I chose HBU because of the focus on academic success, spiritual growth and development into a productive young man, and then athletics let me know it was not just about basketball. The values and goals HBU has for the athletic department are in line with the values that my family has instilled in me and goals I have set for myself. Lastly, I know wherever you have God, you can't go wrong."
Cottrell on Thomasson:
"Noah is a long, athletic player who played point guard in high school, is a very good team leader and can play multiple positions for us. He can get to the rim and because he's left-handed it causes issues for people trying to guard him. He's a really good defender on the ball and is someone we feel can come in and make contributions for us very quickly. Noah is a young man who we're very excited about joining us and who will fit into the HBU culture and our program very easily."
