Aaron Thompson is considered a 4-star recruit by Scout and ESPN. Rivals and 247 say 3-star. He’s out of Fairfax, Virginia and also had offers from Miami, GT, Temple, Dayton, SMU, VT and PSU.

Stallings had been recruiting him at Vandy so there was a relationship there.

He fell just outside the Scout top-100 for the 2017 class back in February.

Finding true point guards isn’t easy, and Aaron Thompson is definitely one of them. He has grown to be almost 6-foot-3 and has gotten stronger and more athletic in the past 12 months. Add in that he is a very good passer with a solid understanding of the game, and it is easy to see why college coaches are so excited about his future.

Still we felt he was a bit better on the outside of the top 100 as opposed to in it because he can struggle badly shooting the basketball. He needs to make himself more of a threat in that regard while continuing to run a team and getting others involved at the level he currently does.

247 considers him about 143 in overall national ranking of players. His defensive ability is considered to be excellent.

Interesting to have point guards in three straight classes. But all three have different strengths. Kithcart is more of an attacker and score off the dribble point guard. Great speed and quickness. Wilson is a better perimeter shooter. Thompson is has the passing and defense.
