The Sicatoka

In a word: Nope. https://www.ncsasports.org/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-national-letter-of-intent#:~:text=The NLI is a binding,aid for one academic year.

@Big A HGyou may have written "NIL" where you meant "NLI" a couple times.

Aren't you somewhere in hinterlands Wisconsin? Out in those parts I thought as long as you're not serving the dog for dinner or < ahem > "something else" the dog you're good. Need a @MafiaManruling on this.

My motto: Eschew sesquipedalian obfuscation.

If I were Mankato I wouldn't release a single recruit from an NLI unless I had a guarantee they are not going to Wisconsin.

The evil of the portal is going on full display for all to see. Wisconsin will pluck MSU-Mankato of recruits and select players via the portal. And the rest of us can only watch in amazed horror.

Someone check on @bale31.

I was thinking "Danger! Danger! Red flag!" but if the coach bolts the day after he commits he deserves a press of the "Reset" button.

Updated.

You missed something.

We can solve that. We'll put him in 25 and leave the "Kleven" name plate on it.

This gamble of holding out may pay off. There are a lot of names from Frozen Four teams showing up in the portal. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SQ4XmlO3FZQRk0oz28lqvw-sg7US4nQJneD7KmVewUY/edit#gid=876547355

OK, @AlphaMikeFoxtrotbrought up KC, but you had cool architectural images!

What's book on Keaton Pehrson of Michigan? One year left, RH D, 127 career games, 1 goal (as a freshman, ouch). Must be the "D" guy to cover all the young offense's mistakes.

C'mon @nodak651they're all just ...

So the day before fall classes start?

So "current", it'll just keep proliferating. Oooh. That'll melt some keyboards.

What, Northstar Christian Academy ain't gettin' it done for ya? (Strinden, soon Croal, and strangely Bauer Berry attended there also.)

Pyke wore 7 at Alaska. Will he just slide into 7 with us like the last Alaska defenseman transfer?

If they are doing their jobs I know of at least three cell phones that should be near melting (and plugged in while being used).

We knew that already. (And Pyke is a LH shot.) I'm looking for fresh produce. My guess is they'll roll those out for Persson, Berg, and Johannes over the next 48 hours to distract us from the reality of Pyke plus four for sure freshmen defensemen being all we have.

I'll be bitterly disappointed if Pyke doesn't bring exploding ninja space jet bear with him. Jandric failed us on that. Mr Miagi fighter plane volcano bear is mandatory minimum.

< gets pipe passed to him > Dude, you brought up KC ... them too ... < long hit >

Seems this is what we get today ...

Was that English? (And no politics, please.)
