Class of 2009 Thornton star Richie Thompson has signed to play his college basketball for Iowa-based juco heavyweight Kirkwood Community College, and Larnell Pillow of Rich East has signed to play for Black Hawk Community College.

Thompson, a 6'5" forward, was a key member of a strong Thornton team this past season that finished the year with the #1-ranking, and advanced all the way to the semifinals of the IHSA Class 4A state tournament.

Thompson is a highly versatile talent who is capable of being plugged into multiple positions on the basketball court.

Pillow, who competed on the travel team circuit with the Illinois Ice, is a steady floor leader who excels with his ball-distribution skills, and is an ideal backcourt fit for Black Hawk.
