Coach Ball on Thompson:
“Unfortunately, William is ineligible for the fall semester, but has the opportunity to be eligible in the spring. He is very disappointed in his lack of opportunity to be able to play for this team and help support his teammates.  However, we are really excited about the opportunity to have him back on the golf course.  He has a beautiful swing and possesses the skill to make a ton of birdies and shoot some low numbers.  We look forward to getting him back out there playing golf for us.  I think William will develop into the student athlete we were looking for when we brought him here.  He will be a major factor for us from now on.”
