There are a few still out there. From article:
Although Thompson revealed his commitment to Iowa on July 5, the 17-year-old freshman revealed on Wednesday that he continued to receive scholarship offers from a few national powerhouses and actually had visits scheduled, but instead chose to close his recruitment completely.
"Honestly, it wasn't even an opportunity to do it this year until it got brought up in Coach McCollum's office, Thompson said.
"After I called everybody and told them I was coming here, Purdue offered it, Vanderbilt offered it, I think UConn would have talked to me about it a little bit as well, but I had a visit scheduled for Kansas and UConn, and I canceled both of them to come here."
