He received offers from several schools including Baylor, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon and Tennessee before committing to head coach John Calipari's program.

Thompson previously revealed that he was impressed with the culture Calipari has instilled during his time with the Razorbacks.

"Just the culture they have and the reputation that coach Cal has," Thompson told Rivals' Joe Tipton. "He has a lot of guards that come through, and he puts them in the NBA and in the best position to chase their dreams.

"It's pretty much the coaching staff, too. They've been on me since I was a sophomore or junior, so I have a good relationship with them. I like the visit when I went up there. Everything was good."

Thompson, an Illinois native, is listed at 6'2" and 170 pounds.

He recently excelled while playing for Meanstreets on the Nike EYBL Circuit, averaging 21.7 points and 4.4 rebounds to go along with 3.9 assists per game (h/t Tipton). He also shot nearly 52 percent from three-point territory.
