Glad to see former players keep ties with the program. Looking forward to it.
I remember watching Demon and Jobey play horse back in the day. I would actually pay to see Coach Price and Jobey have a shootoff! Welcome home Jobey!
Great move! Glad to have Jobey back involved with the program.
Oh how I miss these days -
[QUOTE]During his stellar four-year career with the 49ers, Thomas played in postseason play in each of four years with one trip to the NIT and three NCAA Tournament berths. He played an integral role in helping the 49ers capture the 1999 and 2001 Conference USA Tournament titles.[/QUOTE]
This is really great. I hope that Jobey will spend some time hanging out at the gym for workouts and get to know the team.
Love this!! Hometown guy coming home and back to the 49er Family again. ;D
This is great news. Glad he’s in touch with the program. Didn’t we have Galen Young do some last year also? Like these kinds of moves.
Great News!

Will be interesting to listen to Jobey Thomas, see what he has to say about the games.
Great move.

yes
i suppose that idea has been abandoned… ???
I wondered what the status of that was now. Anyone know?

Agreed. Jobey could also score a little off the dribble in the mid range, throw it down in transition and close the game at the line.
Jobey was awesome. Favorite Niner ever. Glad he’s involved with the program again.
Floyd will be excited. 8)
