Thompson latest Chicago recruit en route to NU
Coach Bill Carmody added to an impressive recruiting class with the announced signing of Lincoln Park guard Michael Thompson.
Thompson is a quick 5-10 point guard with good shooting ability. He should fit in well with a team now built on the fundamentals of passing and shooting. Thompson joins swingman Mike Capocci in a recruiting class that is looking stellar by the moment.
Northwestern is still thin on the frontline, but you have to admire Carmody's strategy in recruiting of late. NU is building a small, agile team of shooters. The team looks versatile. And Northwestern has really developed a pipeline to Chicago's kids. This development is almost as stunning as anything in Carmody's tenure. Northwestern has six recruits or scholarship players on the current roster. (Sterling Williams, Jason Okrzesik, Jeremy Nash, Jeff Ryan, Mike Capocci and Michael Thompson)
Next year will be a rebuilding year with the graduation of Vedran Vukusic. However, things are definitely looking up.;
