CORAL GABLES â Dual-sport recruit David Thompson from Miami Westminster Christian is going to be a Hurricane, at least according to baseball coach Jim Morris.
Thompson has already signed a letter of intent to come to the University of Miami, but there is some concern that the baseball and football star could go high in the Major League Baseball Draft on June 4 and turn pro.
“He’s going to school,â Morris said. âHe’s going to school. He may not be drafted because of sign-ability in my opinion. He may be drafted I don’t know, but he needs to come to school. He’s a great hitter and needs to find a position in baseball, but he can really hit.”
