Pretty standard stuff to be honest.

Hunter Thompson, 6-foot-9 center recruit, picks Jays on gut feeling

Watching the mixtape, it looks like he has excellent handles for a 6'9'' big man. He can drive into the lane, pull up and nail a jumper. That's a great skill to have for someone his size. Will fit perfectly as a stretch 4 and a 5 when Patton gets into foul trouble. If he develops could turn into Huff but a better driver, think someone like Jarrod Uthoff. Hard to tell from the video how his post game is, but I think he'd be best suited for the 4 obviously if we can get another center to commit for 2017. Would like to get somebody like Govan or Delgado who can bang inside when necessary.

Excited to see how Hunter develops and hope that Greg keeps filling up this class with exciting recruits. 3 down, 2 to go.

This was my favorite line:

The Big East really isn't much of a step up than the MWC imo

Looks like they are gonna groom him to be like Dougie....

Creighton’s recruiting pitch included a video that showed Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant making similar offensive moves side-by-side. It then cut to side-by-side video of Thompson and former Bluejays star Doug McDermott – Greg’s son – making similar moves on the court.

I like this addition. Martin will really be our only 4 after Toby graduates and they seem to have different skill sets. With our two '17 guard commits and another quality 3-star pick up in Hunter, is this a top 25 recruiting class when its all said and done?
