Starting forward Mike Thomas confirmed on Friday that he will be returning to the University of Hawai’i basketball team for his senior season.
Thomas issued a message from his Twitter account on Friday morning, saying simply: “I am coming back next year.”
Thomas started all 34 games as a junior during the Warriors’ historic 28-6 season. He averaged 7.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and shot 52.1 percent from the field.
In addition to returning as a team captain, Thomas will inherit the title of the team’s leading returning scorer and rebounder for next season.
