Sam Thompson - 2011 Chicago Guard

It appears IU head coach Tom Crean has keyed in on another player to add to his 2011 recruiting class. Already boasting potential top-25 recruit Matt Carlino, a 6'3" PG/SG combo from Highland High School in Arizona, IU has set it's sights on the fertile recruiting ground of the Windy City. Sam Thompson, a 6'6" wing from Chicago's Whitney Young High School (who may not be done growing yet) has recently received an offer from the Hoosiers, according to ChicagoHoops.com. Thompson already holds an offer from Pac-10 program Oregon State, and has interest from many other Big 10 schools. He also plays for a loaded AAU squad, the Mac Irvin Fire, which includes top talents Wayne Blackshear and Michael Shaw. The link is provided below.

So far, IU has offered several prospects from the 2011 class, including Marquis Teague, Chasson Randle, Marshall Plumlee, and Jeremiah Davis.
