HUNTINGTON — Marshall University men’s basketball is getting a graduate transfer, 6-foot-6 Johnny Thomas, from N.C. State.

Sources told The Herald-Dispatch that Thomas chose Marshall. He has two years of eligibility.

The forward from Morehead City, N.C., has been bothered by a genetic knee injury, but in a story by the Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer newspaper, Thomas said his knee is finally 100 percent, and he’s ready to play significant minutes for his new team.

Thomas appeared in 11 games for N.C. State last season, scoring nine points.

He was a medical red-shirt in the 2008-09 season and missed the entire 2007-08 season injured.
