Or having too many freshman defensemen playing too many minutes early in the year. Part of the reason they are starting to look better is the defenseman are getting better and getting puck out of own zone quicker

and get off his yard every generation of kids are different, just cause you don’t like it doesn’t matter.

A few Sioux fans have always made asses of themselves on the road, the large amount of them almost guarantees it

Our defense was extremely extremely young at beginning of year

6 points behind Omaha with 2 game in hand. Denver 1 point behind same amount of games

They got significantly out shot- scoreboard sometimes doesn’t tell whole story

Playing defense with his stick rather than his skates

Example of 21 taking himself out of play

Not if it’s personal

UND hosts UNO last series of regular season

Not saying it’s likely at all, but somehow the young d start figuring it out. It’s possible to host(we are in 4th currently) and get to league tournament. The league as a whole is not good this year with exception of Western Michigan. (No idea what’s going on in Denver).

So what you hear is mostly BS

Good analysis- sometimes the other team makes good offensive plays/shots. I have best friend who played defense for NDak decades ago, who I go to or watch games occasionally and still coaches. He is not impressed with the defenseman progress at all. I wonder if Simpson is ready to coach at this level with no experience. He may turn out to be a great coach down the road. Coaching like any profession usually improves with experience. He may even be head coach material in a few years, but I think his inexperience along with defenseman’s inexperience is what is the main issue this year. Keep waiting for the light bulb to turn on for freshman but this generally not a league for freshman D to flourish

What was 22 doing?

His aggressiveness takes him out of position too often

Nobody seems to understand that the defenseman are young and more skilled than defensive. The miss Zmolek ALOT

No very accurate shot

Because a center needs to be strong in own end

Says Putin every day

Executive Director of Recruiting every program of reasonable size that wants to retain relevant will need one of these- it’s become much more complex in the new world. Glad Schmidt makes sure he has someone like this on his staff from day 1

Spring portal is when the bigger schools players start to realize that they are passed up on depth chart by younger players and/or NIL funds aren’t what they were expecting. Big programs are becoming more analytical and similar to NFL teams in allocating payroll(NIL). For example they may have 12% budget for DT and have two studs that will get lions share of that which leaves 5th best DT with almost nothing and looking for new home.

Supposedly he had great relationship with OC at SDSU who was let go half way thru season. New OC brought in new QB’s

Somebody still working week between now and 31st?

He graduated HS in 2018. Was at BYU then JC hasn’t played much since JC. Probably one of the getting down to 105 players
