A few years after the fact, Brad Soderberg has successfully recruited Brett Thompson. The former SLU center, who transferred after his freshman season, will play for Lindenwood next season. Soderberg had recruited Thompson out of Vienna High but Soderberg was fired before…

With Brett Thompson transferring from SLU, it got me wondering as to how common it is for players to transfer from A-10 schools.
It turns out that half of the teams in the league have had players transfer out after the season.…

A few days after the Sports Illustrated story on Rick Majerus came out over a year ago, I said hi to then-recruit Brett Thompson as he sat behind the SLU bench at a game at Scottrade Center.

Sorry I’m late on this but I was at Chaifetz till about 1 a.m., so everything’s a bit late. SLU seems to have St. Joe’s number. That’s three in a row against the Hawks, SLU’s longest active win streak against…
