Dyllan Thompson, the offspring of Tina Thompson, who is the second highest scorer in the history of the WNBA and a graduate of the University of Southern California, is a promising wing in the Class of 2024.
He recently decided to join Coach Damon Stoudamire’s program at Georgia Tech, becoming the fifth recruit in his class to do so. Thompson’s commitment is expected to bolster Stoudamire’s recruiting efforts, potentially resulting in a top 30 overall recruiting class for Georgia Tech, as reported by Sports Illustrated.

Dyllan, showing promising scoring skills and post defense in high school, could potentially excel at the college level with the Yellow Jackets in the competitive ACC Conference.
