Shaq Thompson (Sacramento, Calif./Grant) is a little over a week away from making his college choice but will take one more unofficial visit in January before completely closing the door on his recruitment.
Thompson, the No. 2 rated player in the state and the No. 3 ranked safety in the nation, committed last spring to Cal but re-opened his recruitment. He took official visits to Washington, Oregon, Notre Dame, Cal and Arizona State with the Bears holding a pretty solid lead throughout the process.
USC and UCLA also got involved late but it would be a surprise if Thompson grabs anything but a Cal hat at the U.S Army All-American Bowl January 7.
