Re: Transfer update

I guess my point is that he needs a full time SID, a committed Athletic Director, a knowledgeable Marketing Program, a solid weight training team,good assistants that are there for long amount of time. When you read about some of the things Coach Marshall has at WSU it has to make you wonder.
I ...

Re: Transfer update

Does anyone know what the story with Combes was? I agree that if the rate continues it would show some inability to bring in the right players. there are so many factors involved in trying to bring the program back that it really needs to be firing on all cylinders. I just get the feeling that even ...

UW-M Doesnt make the grade

UW-Milwaukee will be ineligible to participate in post season next year as the overall team grade was not so hot. This means they will win the NCAA in 15/16. This is the same ineligible that UCONN had.

Re: Transfer update

This seems to be about average these days.....particularly for DI programs....and for those with new coaches. IF we take ISU losing 3 this year and NU losing 4 this year. Although I like the ideal of someone coming to LU for the academics and the experience the truth is that these guys want to play ...

Re: Pickett and Cody Johnson Transferring

Looks like ISU has lost 3 to transfer and a total of 22 ppg....
Kaza Keanne, Zach Lofton and Nick Zeisloft. Have already been taken off the Roster on the team website.

In a perfect world every kid would stay for 4(5) years but in reality both parties need to be happy and both sides initiate moves ...

Re: CBSSports.com RamblerManiacs Bracket Contest

I am convinced that the brackets are a calculus problem and not Algebra. I was in another pool where someone actually picked Connecticut and in doing so almost won the pool by double figures.....He however was born and raised in Connecticut and voted his heart....This however did not work for me ...

Re: Ex-Loyola Assistant Recruited Kaminsky to Wisconsin

Interesting article today in the Trib on Kominsky which basically says he was all set for NU but Coach Carmody did not even show up for his recruiting visit to the school and that is when he went the UW way. Also NU had Gausser(?) wrapped up as well but one of the UW players got caught in a dorm ...

Re: Pickett and Cody Johnson Transferring

You know I do wonder if stubbornness is PMs issue... on the other hand GO do you really think King was ready physically for the MVC? He was incredibly skinny. I do wish I knew why Cody Johnson did not gt more minutes. But I agree we need to have more depth going into the Valley as well as overall ...

Re: Pickett and Cody Johnson Transferring

While I hate to see transfers. I like the thought of a guy coming in and being a Rambler for 4 years getting his degree etc. However, and I guess I am the PM apologist for now, we really do not know why these two guys left. Until we know for sure based on facts or a really good source we must assume ...
