BREAKING: Top 2025 Oklahoma Big Man Decommits and Flips Commitment to Indiana Hoosiers Over Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia.
Oklahoma City, OK – In a stunning turn of events, five-star recruit Jonathan “Big Wall” Thompson has officially decommitted from the University of Oklahoma and announced his commitment to the Indiana Hoosiers. The 6-foot-9 center, widely regarded as one of the top prospects for the Class of 2025, had previously committed to the Sooners before making his decision on Monday afternoon.
Thompson’s decision to join Indiana comes after a whirlwind recruitment process that included interest from powerhouse programs like Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia. These programs were all vying for the talented big man, but after careful consideration, it was the lure of Indiana’s storied basketball program and head coach Mike Woodson’s vision that ultimately swayed him.
“I want to thank Coach (Porter) Moser and my teammates at Oklahoma for everything they’ve done for me,” Thompson stated in a news conference announcing his decision. “But when it came down to it, I felt that Indiana was the right place for me to grow both as a player and a person. I’m excited to join the Hoosiers and help bring their program back to prominence.”
Thompson has garnered attention for not only his size and skill on the basketball court but also for his impressive work ethic and leadership qualities. His commitment to Indiana represents a significant win for the Hoosiers, who are aiming to reestablish themselves as a force in college basketball.
Recruiting experts view Thompson as a potential game-changer for Indiana, with his ability to dominate in the paint and stretch the floor. With his athleticism and playmaking ability, the Hoosiers are expected to utilize him extensively in their system.
Indiana’s fan base reacted with enthusiasm to the news, gathering on social media to express their excitement over landing such a highly-rated prospect. Coach Woodson has made a concerted effort to rebuild the program since taking over, and securing Thompson is a major step in that direction.
As the basketball season approaches, all eyes will remain on Thompson as he prepares to take the next steps in his development and potentially lead Indiana back to NCAA Tournament glory.
