Darner on Thompson: "Somebody of his talent and what he is going to bring to us is very exciting. Can't wait to get him here and work with him. He's a guy that can do a lot of different things," Darner said. "He has really expanded his game over the time when we first started recruiting him to where now he steps out and shoots it well and shoots the 3-ball well and can go inside and score. Can really get out and run the floor.

"Just all those things. I think a lot of what it was what we thought he could be down the road. Coach Randall Herbst did a great job of staying in touch with him, staying in touch with his high school coach. Building a great relationship with him.

Thompson on Green Bay: "I'm committing pretty late for a senior. I think me staying patient really helped me figure out who was really there and who really wanted me to play, and the coaches at Green Bay made me feel like it was my home. I think l made a really good decision. They were the first to offer and were very loyal," said Thompson. "I really appreciated them doing that, and it helped me make the decision to go there. I'm really just concerned with basketball right now and help this team get to the tournament."
