The D.C. Blue Devils just finished their 7th year in existence after being co-founded in 2013 by T.J. and Ilima Thompson. T.J., who had played his college basketball at George Washington, was just wrapping up a ten-year professional career overseas with stops in France, Greece, Germany, Poland, Russia, and Spain. “I always had a passion for coaching and once I started winding down [my playing career], I wanted to help kids try to reach their dreams of playing college basketball…

Both players had well established reputations coming out of the middle school ranks.
