(2026) - PF Trey Thompson

[go iu bb 9,817]

IU has offered 6'8" PF Trey Thompson from Tennessee. 

Purdue has been on him for a while and may be the team to beat but he seems open to other schools and is still planning on visiting other places. Says he wants to visit IU.

Pretty strange recruitment for a player rated so highly. Purdue has heavily recruited him for the better part of two years and has made him their #1 priority. Doesn't have a great offer list but does include one from hometown Tennessee whom I can guess Rod Clark has a prior relationship. Definitely get the vibe he's waiting on his recruitment to pick up and subsequently why he hasn't committed to Painter.

This might be a short recruitment.

Though Thompson had originally planned to make a decision in July or August, he told KSR+ that his timeline may be accelerating.

“I think I’m going to speed it up a little bit and commit in May or June,” he said. “I’m not entirely sure yet. I really don’t know.”

He has been recruited by Rod Clark for a year and a half so IU may have a chance. He does say that loyalty is important to him. Purdue has been recruiting him hard for a while though. 

He's planning on visiting Louisville and Tennessee in the next few weeks and wants to visit IU so it looks unlikely a decision will come before June.

3SSB is not providing detailed box score info without coughing up megabucks.  They provided a 4-game average for the first event in early May and now have provided an 8-game average for the two May events.  Really interesting to me that his FG shooting % and his 3-point shooting % are almost mirror images of his 24-25 high school season which had to consist of 20+ games.

For anyone that has seen him play, how does he compare to Sisley?

Rabjohns was asked the same question. His response was that at the same stage they are similar rebounders. Thompson is the better 3-point shooter and better off the bounce. Sisley was more rugged and physical.

Offered today by Iowa and UConn and I'm sure more to follow.

Trey Thompson is the only player among all 4 AAU circuits and every age group that currently has been logged with 10+ dunks, 10+ assists and 10+ made threes. Incredible versatility.
