not sure if this has been discussed before, but the announcers just talked about his recruitment.....lance thompson is friends with the etowah head coach and called him up and asked if he had any players worth looking at, and the coach said he had 1 lb worth seeing and sent some film to thompson. After watching the film he offered a scholarship "on the spot", which may explain why he didnt have a long list of offers before ut. Guess he's one that fans just have to trust the coaches' evaluation.
