Trey Thompson comments on Iowa basketball commitment, reclassifying
In a massive recruiting win for Iowa basketball on Saturday, four-star forward Trey Thompson announced his commitment to the Hawkeyes.
The 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward out of Greeneville, Tenn., chose the Hawkeyes over offers from some powerhouse programs, including Tennessee, Purdue, Kansas, Clemson and Vanderbilt.
Initially a 2026 recruit, Thompson announced he is reclassifying and will join the Hawkeyes this coming season.
"To start, I want to take the time to thank God for always walking by my side and leading me down the right paths. I would also like to thank my family, friends, and coaches for always supporting me through my basketball endeavors. Extremely thankful for my parents for sacrificing so much for me to follow my dreams and passions.
"With that being said, I have decided to re-classify up to the 2025 class and commit to the University of Iowa. Go Hawkeyes," Thompson wrote in his social media announcement.
Thompson has averaged 21.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game on 56% shooting from the field, 45% from 3-point territory, and 81% from the free-throw line in his three varsity seasons from Greeneville High School, per his MaxPreps profile.

Taylor Fritz reaches Wimbledon quarterfinals after injured opponent retires
LONDON — American fifth seed Taylor Fritz had little trouble in reaching his third Wimbledon quarterfinal after his Australian opponent Jordan Thompson retired with a thigh injury at 6-1 3-0 down in their fourth-round meeting on Sunday. Thompson, who came to the All England Club with a back issue, called for a medical timeout midway through the second set due to an apparent right thigh problem and after three more points decided to call it a day. Fritz raced through the first set, hardly breaking sweat against his exhausted opponent who had played five-set matches in the first and second rounds and four sets in the previous round. As the rain began hammering down on the Court One roof, so Fritz began raining down his serve, clinching the first set off the back of three aces. The American is ace king at Wimbledon so far with 79, 14 ahead of the next best – Chilean Nicolas Jarry. Fritz broke Thompson easily in the opening game of the second and it was clear the Australian was struggling with his movement. The medical timeout after Fritz clinched another break only delayed the inevitable as the match was soon brought to a premature end. "Not the way I wanted to go through, I was excited to play Jordan today, I was excited to play good tennis," Fritz said. "It's sad ... he's been battling out here, playing five-setters, I respect him for coming out ... I feel bad for him and I hope he gets better." The 27-year-old Fritz, who reached his maiden Grand Slam final last year at the U.S. Open, continues chasing America's dream of a first male winner at Wimbledon since Pete Sampras in 2000 when he next faces 17th-seeded Russian Karen Khachanov. Fritz has never gone beyond the quarter-finals at Wimbledon but is the dominant player on grass this season having won titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne.
