Re: NCAA Ruling

I suspect your correct. It is just disappointing coming out of HS and getting virtually zero D-1 opportunities, and confessing to everyone that your attending a D2 or D3 that nobody, or employer, has ever heard of. I know many on this board like the D-2 route, but a good coach for a year or two to ...

Re: NCAA Ruling

The flip side is there is no incentive to recruit High School kids any longer. They are replaced with portals transfers that can have an immediate impact, and coached know any young talent will leave if they have any success. College Coaches have stated simply just getting into a program as a ...

Re: 2025 Baseball


Only 11.7 scholies for the whole squad and probably no one getting more than a half-ride. The best pitchers will be chasing the best NIL dollars.
BTW, what NCAA knucklehead thought a .7 scholarship was a good thing? lol



It will like pass and change to 35 scholarship....but there are those ...

It seems to be the new norm....rebuild almost every team every year, and any player with success ends up trying move upwards.

Re: Upset Leatherneck Fan

Omaha may have a better basketball arena, but their campus is nothing to brag about. It just appears like a large community college, and doesn't appear to have really any college atmosphere. Their hockey team on the other hand is a bit different. However, college hockey has a different dynamic all ...

Re: vs SEMO

I have been noticing that as well. New players will take time to mesh....but that is basically the new normal. I had been guessing Myers would take on the leadership role.....but it seems the lack of consistency at every position makes it a bit difficult to get the team to truly be ALL IN. They have ...

Re: Little Rock

Unless the coaching staff would like going back to JUCO, I can't see enough success to warrant the coaching deserve a step up in pay. Coaching and players are just slower than other teams no matter what the conference.

Re: Little Rock

Hopefully, the way of the transfer portal nowadays, this group is just needing to continue cohesiveness. I do like that the coach will actually change offensive, and especially defensive, looks when they are getting scorched. Nothing is ever generally going to work out perfectly, but making ...
