The Link Academy (Mo.) product is currently a member of the 2027 class, but a source close to the Arkansas program told the Southwest Times Record that the Razorbacks expect Thompson to reclassify and play for John Calipari during the upcoming season.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Thompson was a five-star prospect in the 2027 rankings. He was the No. 22 player in the country and the No. 5 point guard.

Calipari recently finished a recruiting trip to Mexico, where he watched Thompson compete for Team USA at the FIBA U18 Americup. Thompson scored 11 points in an 88-58 victory over Argentina.

If he reclassifies, Thompson will be the fifth freshman on the Hogs’ 2026-27 roster. He joins other five-start recruits Jordan Smith Jr., Miikka Muurinen, JJ Andrews and Abdou Toure.
