6’5 wing player from Rockdale County in GA. Plays along side Kevin Ware, 4* SG that’s committed to UT, so I think he could be overshadowed. Not much on him via the recruiting sites, only ESPN has a profile and it hasn’t been update. From reading up, sounds like a solid prospect, not sure what he does for travel ball. If you don’t play much AAU, you aren’t noticed, see Terrence Williams.
Rivals - no stars
[b]Bernard Thompson (2011)[/b] 6-foot-2 SG Rockdale County (Uncommitted). Thompson is a mid-major dream. His is an athletic guard that can score in the paint. He is an effective three point shooter, has great body control and hang-time when he attacks the basket. He finished with 23 points, 17 in the second half.
Dropped 26 on Miller Grove, on the the top HS teams in the nation
Love what you are doing with the recruiting forum, after saying that, do you only post a player that we have offered, interested in? Or just anyone?[/quote]I try to keep stuff up with guys that I have seen us mentioned with. I talked to a guy that’s in on the GA scene today and he mentioned he talked with our staff today about Thompson.
Temple always seems to have a bunch of players in the 6’3"-6’6" that can guard, shoot, dribble, and play D. I like at least the type of player we are chasing. Majors seems to have a good idea of type of player he wants.
I give Major a lot of credit for having an obvious style he is recruiting. I don’t think Lutz was as clueless of a recruiter as a lot of people seem to think, but his targets seemed to be 1) lights-out 3 point shooter and 2) best available. Good to see Major has a style he wants and also isn’t afraid to recruit multiple players with apparently similar skill sets, if these guys can play, they will get the PT.
