GSU Offers Rockdale County SG Bernard Thompson

According to Rivals.com's Daniel McDonald, we are the latest to offer the 6'3, 180lbs shooting guard out of Conyers.  He is currently averaging  18.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.  He averaged 13.5 ppg as a Junior for the Bulldogs of RHS.

ESPN Scouts, Inc. ranks him as the 84th best SG in the country and Mike LaPlante had this to say earlier this week:

"It seems that every year after the holiday tournaments there are a handful of players that emerge with an increased profile and major recruiting buzz. Count Rockdale County (GA) High School's Bernard Thompson, who has gone from a relative unknown to one of the most talked about names on the recruiting circuit, as one of them.

I got the chance to watch Thompson compete in three different tournaments during the later part of December and I came away impressed with his basketball IQ and upside. He is a long, rangy guard that can shoot it from 3 and is deceptively athletic. He attacked the lane in transition at the Chick-fil-a Classic and finished with a left-handed jam that caught everyone off guard and had the college coaches in attendance buzzing.

Thompson's stock continues to rise each time he takes the floor and, as the always adventurous late-signing period approaches, many high-major programs are making the effort to take a look at the 6-foot-3 shooting guard that had mostly Division II schools recruiting him in the fall."
