He isn't eligible until later this season due to transfer rules, I believe. I'll have to check on that.

i am assuming thompson got caught in the following rule
per naia rule book:
SECTION G. TRANSFER: PREVIOUS IDENTIFICATION AT A FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTION
1. A student who has participated in an intercollegiate contest at the immediately previous
four-year institution and then transfers to an NAIA member institution shall be required to be
in residence for a period of 16 calendar weeks before being eligible for the sport(s)
previously participated in at the four-year institution.
A student shall have the 16 calendar weeks residency requirement waived for participation in
that same sport provided the student has a cumulative minimum overall GPA of 2.000 (on a
4.000 scale) from all previously attended institutions of higher learning and receives a written
release from the athletics director at the immediately previous four-year institution.
A student who has not participated in an intercollegiate contest at the immediately previous
four-year institution is not subject to the residency period in that sport.
See CASEBOOK (pg. 104) for additional information
The term "16 weeks" refers to 16 consecutive calendar weeks (112 calendar days),
including vacations and inter-terms (except summer terms). The 16 weeks does not refer
to school weeks.
2. This period shall be counted from opening date of classes as stated in the official college
catalog or from the date on which the student enrolls, whichever is later. No part of the 16
weeks shall fall between the end of the term immediately preceding the regular summer term
and/or summer vacations and the beginning of the fall term.
See CASEBOOK (pg. 105) for additional information
3. The residency requirement shall be satisfied at the beginning of the day following the end of
the 16 calendar weeks (at the beginning of the 113th calendar day) from the first day of
class. Should the 16-week period be satisfied after the institution's regular season has been
completed, the student has established eligibility for the following season in that sport but is
not eligible for postseason athletic competition in that sport which is held during an extended
period of the term just completed.

I wish Soderberg well. What a class act. Sorry he is no longer at SLU, but the program is in much better hands with Majerus. The national exposure he has brought to the SLU program along with the local buzz he creates each year for the team and all those home game sellouts SLU gets now has been a great step forward for the program.
