Idaho Sophomore Won’t Return

Sophomore Marvin Thomas is not expected to return to the Idaho men’s basketball team, coach Kermit Davis said.

It’s believed Thomas hasn’t attended Idaho since the conclusion of the season earlier this month.

The 6-foot-4 guard played sparingly, though he contributed some quality minutes in the final month of last season.

Thomas, of McKees Rock, Pa., was a transfer from Otero Junior College in Colorado.
