“It was a very nice visit and the coaching staff treated my family and me very well,” Thompson told HoosierIllustrated.com. “The coaches like my versatility on both sides of the floor. They think that I could be a great addition to the IU program.

He showed great touch from long range this weekend. He additionally has tremendous instincts and possesses a world of talent to go along with a high ceiling. Thompson should be expected to make a lofty debut in next month’s national 2026 player ranking update.”

He is the No. 9 overall prospect int he 247Sports Composite Rankings.
