Taj79 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I read with interest TreyT3's remarks over on the other thread. I agree that what Brett was feeling based on what was being said was tough. I'll take it with a grain of salt, however, not being there in person to see it, hear it or live it. If Brett is happy, good for him. I am sure misperceptions might cut both ways. Some guys respond well to boots in the *ss, others need constant pats on the back. It is a really good coach who not only knows the difference, but recognizes when to use what tactic. I also don't know RM's preferred modus operandi. Maybe he only blows the one way. In any case, what's done is done. Probably good to have no-fault insurance. But SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA! Certainly ain't going ot be any pressure there, that's for surre. Patrick Sullivan was their center at 6'9" and will be a senior next year. He was second on the team in scoring, outpaced by a guy who only played 14 games for whatever reason last year and has graduated Next tallest guy on the roster is 6'7" so Brett will be biggest man down there. Knocking heads with some behemoth programs down in the Southland. Talk about being a "buy" school. Road trips to Stephen F. Austin, Nicholls State, Sam Houston State, Corpus Christi, all the Texas directional schools and locational venues like Texas State and Texas-San Antonio. Central Arkansas as well. Why not just call that Little Rock? Its about the only thing in Arkansas and its Central. No connection to the St. Louis area that I can see in terms of coaches and/or curent players. Wonder if TreyT3 can add any insight as to why this place. Located in Hammond, LA, forty miles east of Baton Rouge, I'd be willing to bet that its not even in the top ten basketball playing schools in the state of Louisiana. Out of coference opponents last year included at Arkansas, at Texas Tech, at Minnesota, at Auburn, and at LSU. Only folks that came into Hammond to play were the likes of Miles, Dillard, Southern-New Orleans, Milsaps and Jackson State. Short of a four game winning streak to end the regular season, five of the teams nine wins came against these lesser dogs when they came to town. Frankly, this is quite a thud, in terms of falling basketball talent. I would definitely say Brett must have a passion for basketball. He's gonna need it here.

Brett has family from Louisianna so I'm sure that played into his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock_Tower Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 that is exactly what I was thinking. Bret really must have lost his confidence, I can't believe he wouldn't take his time and come up with a better school Is Southeast Louisiana a D-1 school? and if so, won't BT have to sit out a year? Why not JUCO and then come back to D1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock_Tower Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I recall his mom saying his dad lives in LA (state that is), girlfriend maybe as well? Good post. Quite possibly this is the rest of the story. Not quite as puzzling if he's moving on for such reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Is Southeast Louisiana a D-1 school? and if so, won't BT have to sit out a year? Why not JUCO and then come back to D1? It is D-I, and is a member of the Southland Conference. There are two divisions in the Southland, each with 6 teams. Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State are normally the two best teams in this conference. Most schools are in Texas, with a few in Louisiana and one in Arkansas. It does seem like an unusual move but I believe his dad lives down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'm such a nerd that I played this basketball sim game and I was the coach of UT Arlington (Southland Con) and faced off against the Lions on a regular basis. I picked UTA in order to start off at the lowest of the low teams in order of prestige. UTA actually plays on a b-ball court that is on a stage in a theater. Those a#$ chewings must've been really bad to transfer there. Maybe I should rethink my position on Majerus' motivation methods because this is really bad.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I project that Brett Thompson will be all-Southland his junior and senior seasons, including player of the year his senior year. And Southeastern Louisiana will make the NCAA Tournament at least his senior season. I'm not saying, though, that SLU fans will regret his departure so much. However, I do find the trends surrounding Coach Majerus's "style" unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleacherBum593 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Just got a message from a member of the Thompson family saying that the artcle fom new orleans.com is not true. Brett is not going to SE LA. No word on who he is considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleacherBum593 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 NewOrleans.com has now pulled their story on Brett tranferring to SELA. But, the SELA coach must have read about the big guy falling into his lap last night - he made a call to the Thompson household today to see if he would "reconsider" SELA.

It would be like Timmerman writing the day after Tyus said he was leaving FL that he was coming to SLU because his parents live here.

It would be like Timmerman writing the day after Tyus said he was leaving FL that he was coming to SLU because his parents live here. I used to read New Orleans.com when I lived on the Gulf Coast. I was surprised they had the scoop on Brett. It is an excellent source for happenings in NOLA (like best and new restaurants, whose playing in the jazz/blues clubs, newest animal at the Audobon Zoo, etc..) but sports are kind of weak. So someone had to call them which makes think he will end at Southeast LA. Times-Picayune is better for New Orleans sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after a tour in Iraq, he and Brett are going to be shrimpin' boat captains. KL's going to get his legs blown off and make his peace with God that day. Oh, Jenny, he's so smart...

sillybilly Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I heard (from reliable sources I might add but who wish to remain annonamoose (like in Bullwinkle) that Thompson will return to STL, play for SLCC and play under a Mafia name (Capone to be correct) and put out a contract on RM. Then he will tranfer to another D1 powerhouse (Fontbonne). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
