33. Carl Thomas - Student-Athlete (College of Charleston)

3RIPLE 3HREAT

Our featured guest on the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast this week is Carl "Shake" Thomas (CT).

Carl and Jermel met after Carl transferred from Western Kentucky to the College of Charleston. They immediately connected and the rest was history!

Shake was a 6’8 two guard that could shoot off the dribble, get to the cup and had a smooth catch and shoot jumper to go with his package. We had a lot of success as a team at the College of Charleston but in one of our biggest wins against UNC, Carl poured in 20!

Jermel and Carl were roommates so they spent a lot of time talking about basketball, family and life after basketball. Shake is doing all the things they spoke about, especially in the community. Tune in to 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast to hear all about it!
