One of the nation’s premier high school basketball prospects has set his decision date, and Kentucky is still in the mix — at least for now.
A high-stakes decision
According to On3’s Joe Tipton, Anthony Thompson, a five-star small forward from Ohio, will announce his college commitment on Tuesday, October 21. Thompson is ranked No. 8 nationally and the No. 2 small forward in the Class of 2026 by 247Sports, boasting a remarkable 0.9974 composite rating. His final six schools are Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio State, Texas, Michigan, and North Carolina.
As of now, the Wildcats appear to be a longshot.
