Nobody helped his reputation more than Duke recruit Mike Thompson. The 6-10 big man
from New Lenox, Ill., played so poorly in the spring that one national recruiting writer cited
him as an example of the dangers of early recruiting. The writer suggested that DukeÂs Mike
Krzyzewski would regret expending a scholarship on a mediocre prospect. That was before
Thompson exploded at the Nike camp.
