An excellent postseason analysis. Thanks. If the underclassmen stay and have an excellent offseason work ethic, plus, as you mentioned, we can pick up a true post player and a good 3-pt. shooter, we could conceivably project as a top two next season.

Sure hope so. He seems to be a great kid, and talk about his development skyrocketing after redshirting as a walkon. If he stays and continues to develop, we have minimal losses in the portal, and are finally able to get a true big out of the portal, next year could be very interesting.

I notice that the softball team has quietly won 14 of their last 15 games.

You're right, unfortunately, that some billet families might be better role models than the real parents, but, hopefully, that would be rare and would be tough to know in advance. Would still love to see players complete high school at home so that they can be under their parent's influence, unless, as yzerman19 said, in the rarest of instances a senior has exceptional talent and, as I mentioned, that it's God's plan for them to further that talent at a higher level.

As you say, that would be the rarest of exceptions. If that's God's plan for their life, then go for it, as He has given that person exceptional talent for a reason.

All I'm saying is that it gives me pause whenever I hear disparaging comments from someone who MAY have an axe to grind, especially when I hear it second or third hand. Perhaps we'll see whenever the beloved portal opens. FYI, I coached varsity boys BB for 29 years.

Great, objective analysis. Thanks.

With respect to your first sentence, I'll go a step further and will probably be scorned into oblivion, but I think that all should stay home through their senior year in order to be under the authority and influence of their parents rather than staying with some unknown family who doesn't have the same love, concern and desired influence for their kid. There are things in life that are more important than sports. However, if God's plan for their life is to go on to the next level of hockey, then that'll happen after their senior year and he or she will do fine, and he or she will have had that extra year or two or three under the authority and influence of their family where they belong.

Eli deserves it, as does Greyson. Loved watching Eli throughout his time at UND, played both ends of the floor, played with class, didn't whine at the refs, and worked his tail off. Wish that he had another year. Hope that Greyson stays; he and Eli were two big reasons why UND overachieved in the conference this season.

Thanks.

Who was the TV announcer tonight alongside Heinert?

Thanks.

Where did you find that on his website? Was trying to find the info for tomorrow's EDC games.
