Freshman guard Jake Thompson, a standout from Oak Ridge High School in California, has officially signed with the Tigers, bringing a wealth of talent and potential to the program.
Thompson, a highly sought-after recruit, averaged 24.5 points, 6.2 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game in his senior year, leading his team to a state championship and earning all-state honors. Known for his explosive athleticism and sharp shooting skills, Thompson has drawn comparisons to some of the top players in college basketball. His ability to drive to the basket combined with a reliable three-point shot will make him a valuable asset to the Tigers.
Head Coach Cuonzo Martin expressed his excitement about Thompson’s signing, stating, “Jake is a dynamic player who has a unique combination of skills. His competitiveness and work ethic are exactly what we look for in a Tiger. We believe he will make an immediate impact on our team and help us compete at the highest level.”
Thompson’s addition comes at a critical time as the Tigers aim to build on last season’s successes and make a deeper playoff run. Fans are eager to see how he blends with returning players and contributes to the team’s dynamic.
The Missouri Tigers will kick off their season in November, and an official welcome event for Thompson is planned to be held next week at Mizzou Arena. As the excitement builds, fans are already buzzing with anticipation over the potential this new player brings to the team. Stay tuned for more updates as the season approaches!
