Akron’s New King Vann Aubrey Thomas Class 2020

Middle School Elite’s Best Kept Secret ~ You Heard it First Here

Vann Aubrey Thomas lost his father tragically at a early age; and through this loss it brought the family closer together. His older brother Anthony Thomas who was away playing basketball collegiately gave up his own dream and scholarship to return home to help the family and be there for his younger brother. He helps raise Vann and personally trains him. They are in the gym ever day going though rigorous college level workouts.  Vann told his brother of his dream to play college ball and even play professionally. Vann’s family is doing all they can to make this dream a reality and with Vann’s skill, work ethic, and determination MSE feels that it’s not an if, but only a when that Vann reaches the level of success that he’s striving for.

Thomas is a pure shooter with a Ray Allen like game and skill set. He is an extremely hard cover due to his exceptionally high IQ, he intelligently moves well without the ball, knows how to utilize screens to get open and has an amazing {well beyond his years} ability to create space off the dribble to get his shot off. He doesn’t force things and knows when and how to turn it on and take over a game. His quick release requires only a small amount of separation to get his shot off and he may actually shoot better with a defender in his face. A pure jump shooter and scorer Vann can play the 1 or 2 and is a game changer in virtually every way. He makes threes in transition and with deep range, he catches and shoots, he pulls up, and he stops on a dime anywhere inside half court and is an offensive threat. Vann has inside the gym range and cannot be left open or given an inch of space or he will hurt again. Thomas is one of the youngest kids in the class of 2020 and can actually under AAU rules play with the class of 2021.  Regardless of the class he one of the best players and may be the best pure shooter we have seen in years – check out his video below as proof.  Needless to say, Vann Aubrey Thomas will be occupying a roster spot on the Middle School Elite National Team and can be seen live and in person at Maryland Mania, August 24th and 25th.

  1. AAU Recap says:

    If he is already 11(per the video heading) he would not be eligible to play down. You cannot turn 11 before Sept. 1st, 2013

  2. Wrong says:

    Yes u can. Most of the best 4th graders are already 11. You can’t turn 12 before sept. 1st. If u turn 11 before sept 1st you must be in forth grade unless u are home schooled. AAU rules are crazy

  8. ?????? says:

    OK. So is this kid going to 7th or 6th? Because class of 2020 is going to the 6th grade. So playing down in class 2021 would be those who just got out of 4th grade. Do you mean he is class 2019 eligible to play 2020?

  9. This is crazy. I googled the brother and found out he was NOT even a starter but turned down a ship? Lol. Who turns down a free education so they can come back and help? The education is what will get you a great job to help. Sounds like the brother is living through his brother.
