Was really hoping to see at least one scholarship open up from the existing roster.

I see four more wins. Which games do you see us winning if Danny was still here? Every school dealing with portal issues. Youngstown State just lost a key skills player to portal. Special teams wins us at least one if not two games. 8-4 (I want to be optimistic for the players). Iowa State - L Montana - L Idaho State - W San Diego - W Murray State - W NDSU - L UNI - W (home cooking) Youngstown State - W (we beat them there two years ago and they took some portal hits) Indiana State - W (Larry Bird ain't coming through that door) SDSU - L USD - W (only because we never lose to them at home) Illinois State - W (playoffs could be on the line, we'll know what we have by now)

I guess we'll learn if small town North Dakota translates to DI basketball. We really need to get stronger under the basket. South Dakota schools seem to do okay with them.

Living a lie during spring ball.

Iowa kid so makes sense. Ready to support those that keep their commitment. Integrity matters.

I am open to other explanations and insights.

All the more reason they should be committing to the school and not a specific coach.

Any insights into how this goes down? A coach sits across from a player they have spent two years supporting and developing in their academic and athletic life. Kid says everything is fine one day and the next the coach sees them in the portal? So the kid was lying and plotting the whole time for a bag of silver. One injury, or they don't meet expectations, and that new school, which sees them as a piece of meat, will throw them on the scrap heap and have a new bag for the next one on the list. Integrity, honesty, friendships, gone for a bag of silver that will be gone in a year.

Jury is out, but I am fine with SU taking Landry, revealed a character flaw we do not need. Offensive was good but did not feel it was progressing. Change us good.

Thinking the academic standards are a but easier with the Cowboys than the Tommies. This might raise the GPA for both UND and Wyoming.

Where are you placing the blame?

Gonna miss that family.

In the overall picture of college hockey which of these are overrated or underrated: Culture Facilities Fan base Traveling fans Star players School location Private chef Puck luck Hot goalie Feel free to add on...

It wasn't until one guy made it that way.

This thread is about as political as it gets.
