Player Defections

It's just another embarrassing page in an embarrassing chapter of the program. How long is this chapter? We still don't know.

Once we get a new coaching staff in place and they can weed out any bad apples on the roster and start rebuilding the team in their image, then I think we'll be able to put this difficult time behind us. But it will take a couple of years to see progress; I hope people are patient with the new staff.

Once again, not surprising when you consider that the players were told at the team meeting by the AD and the SWA that anyone wishing to transfer would be granted their release. This happened shortly after the firing when morale was probably pretty low all-around.

They did that rather than tell the players they really want them to stay and that they need to wait until the new coach is hired before they would sign their transfer papers.

No wonder players are dropping like flies. How would all of us take that as 18-21 year old kids, especially if we were from Chicago and had doubts in our mind about the whole situation? Would we think they cared if we stayed or left?

Certain kids would have left regardless, but the leadership attitude no doubt had to make a difference in at least a few others.

When they get to Mankato or Duluth and see 2,000 fans vs 10,000 in the Alerus while UND is kicking ass and taking names theyll wonder why they ever left. You can't run from your problems. You build relationships with other players and sticking it out through the tough times will only make those stronger.
