- 2019
Thomas (1997-2000) put together one of the most complete careers in Michigan women's basketball history, finishing with 1,556 points, 851 rebounds and 372 steals. She still ranks eighth in program history in scoring, fifth in rebounding and first in steals nearly 20 years after her career ended. She was a 2000 Kodak All-America honorable mention, the first in the NCAA era for the program. Thomas was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and a member of the All-Big Ten team in 2000 after earning Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors in 1997. She was one of the first Wolverines drafted in the WNBA, going 23rd overall to Portland in 2000, and her six-season WNBA career included stints with the Portland Fire, Phoenix Mercury, Detroit Shock, Minnesota Lynx and Charlotte Sting. Thomas is the second women's basketball player to be inducted into the Hall of Honor, joining Diane Dietz (1996).
