Marist rival looking at Kansas forward

Quintrell Thomas, a 6-foot-8 power forward, is exploring transfer options. Heading his list is Marist foe Siena.
According to the Times Union's Pete Iorizzo, Thomas will visit Siena and UNLV. While Thomas did not factor much into the Jayhawks rotation, the freshman was considered an elite player coming out of high school.
Kansas also looks to lose guard Tyrone Appleton.
Both players want a larger role in college basketball than they currently have at Kansas.
"During our season-ending meetings, Tyrone and Quintrell discussed their roles with me and have expressed their interest to transfer," Bill Self said on the team's website. "They have chosen to attend a university where they can have expanded roles."

Thomas would provide an excellent response to Marist's recuitment of Casiem Drummond in the 2010-11 season.
