Nice pick up.

Matta just needs to add some size and girth now.

That's what she said....

This is why some people should not try to predict things too early.

Thad Matta?s early assessment of freshman swingman Sam Thompson is an eye-popper. Speaking at Big Ten media day yesterday outside of Chicago, Matta called Thompson ? probably the best athlete that I?ve coached.?

Because Thompson is 6 feet 7, from Chicago and handles the ball well enough that he has played point guard, his game already has drawn comparisons with former Ohio State star Evan Turner, a comparison Matta tried to downplay earlier. But it is clear that Matta likes what he sees of Thompson.

?I?ve been once again very, very pleased with his ability to shoot the ball,? Matta said. ?He?s a tremendous kid and doing all the things he needs to do to contribute for this basketball team."

Thompson was ranked No. 40 nationally in a consensus of six recruiting rankings of this freshman class.

People should try not to predict things on a message board for fear that they will be wrong?

This dz38ck has had some very funny things to say throughout the last year. Atleast he's just kidding.

He is kidding right? Right?

2011 Basketball Preview: Sam Thompson
October 26, 2011, by Joe Dexter

Sam Thompson just might be the freshman of the 2011 class that is sneaking under the radar. The 6'7" wing out of Chicago Illinois has shown throughout his career a versatility, intensity, and athletic ability that is bar none one of the top in the 2011 class.

Good game last night from Sam.

The more PT this kid gets now and in conference play could pay huge dividends come March.
