Missouri State's Thompson Hired as New Assistant Coach

[MSUDuo]

any thoughts on him as a fan of his employer for the last three years?

We're losing a heck of a recruiter. Can only imagine what he will be able to do with the resources at Arkansas

Don't have the time to look it up... but did your team see an uptick in BA, OBP etc. that was seen as a direct result of Thompson's coaching of your players, or did he just appear to bring in better offensive players in general? Basically, did you see below average hitters become better, or was your increase in offensive production simply a result of bringing in studs?

You could say Burger really beefed up.

Two year contract

Tony Vitello was "only" making 160. Didn't realize Wes Johnson made so much more than him.
