Anthony Thompson<\/a><\/strong> jumped all the way to No. 17 overall in the latest 2026 On3 150<\/a> update. The 6-foot-7 small forward who played with the Indy Elite program on the Adidas 3SSB 16u Circuit recently announced he would be transferring to Hudson (OH) Western Reserve Academy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would describe my game as versatile,\u201d Thompson told On3. \u201cI\u2019m able to use my length and my skills and ability to help my team win. I\u2019ve gained a lot of strength and I\u2019ve learned my body a lot better. I have learned how to move a lot better in general. I\u2019m using my length to become more physical. I watch a lot of Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum. Guys who have a similar build and size, so I take some of the things they do in their game and try to add it to mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

On3 caught up with four-star Anthony Thompson after a recent live viewing to discuss the current state of his recruitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve taken unofficial visits to Ohio State, Indiana, Purdue, Penn State, and Texas so far,\u201d Ingram said. \u201cThey\u2019ve all offered me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thompson talks schools<\/h2>\n

OHIO STATE<\/strong>: \u201cI have a good relationship with the staff. It\u2019s obviously a big environment. They have a lot of students there, and a lot of things in general. They have a college atmosphere and a lot of fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

INDIANA<\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s a very historic basketball program with a very deep culture in basketball. They have a big fan base and they have a great atmosphere for games. I have a great relationship with the coaches and they are interested in me as a player and a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

PURDUE<\/strong>: \u201cI went to Purdue during the season, so I was able to go to a game. They have a great atmosphere there. Great players and a great team overall and it showed why they were able to go as far at they did last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

PENN STATE<\/strong>: \u201cMy relationship with Coach (Mike) Rhoades<\/a> is good. He is a very vibrant coach and he shows a lot of interest in me. I really appreciate that. They play fast and they tell me how they like my versatility and length and that I can space the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

TEXAS<\/strong>: \u201cThey talked a lot to me about my versatility and they think that my length and game would be a great fit for their program and what they\u2019re building. They like my potential and what I could be when I get to college.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Anthony Thompson\u2019s words<\/h2>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have any upcoming visits planned yet,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cBut my plan moving forward is to just keep building relationships with the coaches. We\u2019ll look through what the school\u2019s plans are for me and then my family and I will sit down and decide which schools we want to visit and go see more about.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to go to a program where I can grow as a player and a person and get a good education. But I want to go somewhere that has a good plan for me, where I can develop as a player and get ready for that next level. Also, I want to be able to play to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
