Kent State head coach Rob Senderoff on Kellon Thomas

 

"Kellon is really the only true point guard on our roster. Everyone else is sort of a combo-type guard. He is a true point guard. He needs to get a little more vocal. He is in good high-school shape right now, and he still needs to get into better college shape. But he works hard. He is sort of fearless as a player. He brings a level of toughness that I really like."

 

"Kellon is continuing to improve his jump shooting. He is another one who at some point in his career is going to be a really special player. We'll see how much he plays this year. Some of that will depend on him, some of it will depend on how much some of these combo guards we have are able to control the point. We'll see, but I'm happy with him. His toughness and his motor defensively are real positives. His ability to see the floor and get guys shots is probably the best on the team."
