From our own Corey Evans:
I think Cone is a great fit for what Buzz Williams likes to do, and with NC State seemingly dragging their feet in his recruitment, the Hokies are in great position. He would be an awesome piece to start the 2020 class. I understand the reservations about his size, but kid can flat-out play, and I'll take that despite not being the physical specimen.
Thomas is a really nice player too, and an in-state kid (he attended Chesapeake Oscar Smith before transferring to Oak Hill). He's a scoring guard, probably not the elite three-point shooter you'd hope for, but more a guy who can get into positions he likes and finish at the rim. IF you have undersized point guards, you might not want a guy with that profile - who is also only 6-2 - as your top SG target in this system. How good a fit he is, then, depends on who the Hokies can also reel in around him.
