Sunnyslope High School’s superb 6-foot-3 senior guard Sammy Thompkins recently earned this year’s Tournament Most Valuable Player Award at the Arizona Preps Fall Showcase - suggesting that he will have a huge senior season for the Vikings.
After an extremely impressive spring and summer performance for himself, Thompkins generated loads of college attention and scholarship offers. After mulling over his current recruiting options, Thompkins decided to forgo the fall evaluation period, and move to signing during the late signing period.
He also ranked as the tournament’s second leading scorer at the prestigious invite-only Pangos All-American Camp, which brought together many of the top prospects in the country for a weekend battle in front of numerous college scouts and media. In the event, Thompkins emerged as a high-major quality guard, and one of the elite guard prospects in the West. Thompkins would explode in this year’s event – averaging 19+ points per/game in the camp. Thompkins would get selected among the Top 60 campers in the event and earning an all-star invitation as a result of his efforts.
Here is a new highlight video of Thompkins in action with his club team, proving why he will be one of the more sought after recruiting targets in the West this spring . . .
