Speculation all over the place.   Speculation founded upon hearsay and a base of viewpoint bias.   Will at least someone be proven to have picked the right horse?  Of course; but that doesn't change the fact that we're all jerking off to speculation-based opinion.  Fun, though, which is the whole purpose.  

One big circle jerk amongst the SS community? Some would prefer a ZJ

Is it required that they publish all the applicants, or just the finalists?  Is there a time deadline on that release?   Seems like they let the world assume Dane to keep the boys from sprinting to the portal, and the uber fans something to hash and rehash, while they review the applicants and wait until after the Frozen Four. Is my scenario a possibility?

Finalists

They are doing this just to piss off sioux sports and get more clicks.

just like mcfooley does at the forum

[RhettRingers]

It's already a done deal. No need to check anymore flights.

Why would it be interesting if Jax is going to be named HC?

Slukynsky brothers win it for Western last night.  Both from Warroad, a Sioux recruiting hotbed.  If anyone was confused about why Berry was fired, this should clear things up for you. 

I’ve never understood how UND (and U of Mn) missed on these 2 guys. If these guys were at UND, I believe we would have easily been in the tournament and Berry would be safe at least for another year. H Slukynsky can carry a team and can win games when the rest of the team isn’t playing well. G Slukynsky is obviously a very good forward who was an outstanding HS player and continues to improve each year. 
The recruiting decisions need to be made with a vision for the future of the program. Taking an older brother, who you see as maybe a 4th line guy, to improve the chance, if not guarantee, you will get the younger brother makes sense. Maintaining a strong Warroad to UND relationship is another reason to take the older brother, especially when the older brother has demonstrated leadership skills and comes from a winning culture.

Until he gets one of these wrong. What a joke of a process, Chaves is so lucky the media won’t ask any questions. 
 

Turn the page, congrats to Dane! Onto the usual off-season topics.

Don't believe you. It is most definitely still an ongoing process with interviews taking place.

If you say so.

[RhettRingers]

Thought you guys would learn after I named Schmidty the HC for football before it came out. I have legit sources not like @gfhockey and his buddies at Judy's.

I’m going to reserve my opinion on the nature of the search until its final results are known. I have no reason to suspect a smoke and mirrors show as distraction to hire Jackson.

[gfhockey]

Is that why bub didn’t thank Jack

[gfhockey]

Per source expect 4 year contract. Same as bubs but lower buyout to jacks. 
 

it was Martinsons call and he made it last night after getting back from Fargo for regionals

Meehof?

[UNDhoops]

What a joke our athletic department is

[TNF]

Will KEM announce a NIL donation to coincide with the new coach presser?  The lollipop to mask the disappointing trip to the doctor’s office…

If they truly interviewed high-quality candidates there is no possible way they could pick Jackson.  (except for the fact it's UND)

You just said it was Martinson's call?

[siouxweet]

At this point I don't care if it is the ghost of Michael Jackson coaching next year as long as the product on the ice can compete with what we are seeing in the tournament because right now this squad is far from it.

How do you know Jackson isn't a high-quality candidate?
