Local power forward Gianni Thompson, Class of 2021, announced his commitment to Boston College earlier today. A hyper-local kid who currently plays at Brimmer and May in Newton (just a stone’s throw from the Chestnut Hill T stop), Thompson is ranked as a high three-star recruit on 247’s composite rating and 177th overall nationally. In short, it’s a pretty good get for the Eagles, who lock down a really talented local player from going anywhere else. Victories start in our backyard, after all.
He’s assembled a pretty impressive offer list, including teams like Providence, Penn State, Xavier, and Virginia Tech.
