Indiana offered Tennessee forward Trey Thompson on Monday, he announced on his social media pages.
Thompson reported the offer came via a phone call with new assistant coach Kenny Johnson. He’s also connected to new assistant Rod Clark, who offered and recruited him when Clark was an assistant coach at Tennessee.
Multiple reports indicated the IU staff was watching Thompson this weekend during the live period.
According to the industry average of the national recruiting sites, Thompson is a 3-star, the No. 136 overall player in the class, and the No. 22 power forward.
Thompson helped lead Greeneville H.S. (Greeneville, Tenn.) to the final four of the state tournament. He was named Class 3A All-State. This season Thompson averaged 24.3 points per game, while shooting 44 percent from three-point range, 60 percent from the field, and 81 percent from the free throw line. He averaged 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game.
On film the 6-foot-8 and 220-pound Thompson has the look of a modern stretch-4. He’s a very good shooter from beyond the arc, athletic, physical and rebounds at a high rate.
Both of Thompson’s parents used to coach basketball at Montverde Academy. His father also played at the school.
For spring and summer basketball Thompson plays for Tennessee Impact on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit.
