Any word on seniors returning? Central has 2, Dubuque has 6, Neb Wes has 3, Wartburg has 3, but also has 3 5th yr players. Loras and Coe only have 1 listed senior in their top 8.

Long-time Trinity(TX) assistant Edward Cartee (TU '09) has been named the head coach at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.  During his 11 years at Trinity (which was 189-29-16 during that time), he was simultaneously head coach at San Antonio Central Catholic HS, where his teams compiled a .738 winning percentage and won five TAPPS state championships including four straight from 2017-2020.

Edit: he replaces Trevor Swartz, who left CMS in January after a less than one year stint which saw the team sink from 14-2-3 to 4-3-5 and had its season cancelled in early October due to "nearly all members of the team, acting as a team, violat[ing] multiple conduct standards, including organizing and carrying out an event which subjected new team members to multiple acts of hazing."   Hard to believe anyone would hire a coach even tangentially associated with that disaster, let alone a D1 program, but then again it's UNLV.

That’s a great hire for CMS.  I always thought Cartee was the coach-in-waiting at Trinity, having been there so long and being an alum, but it’s a good move for him whether as a permanent stop or to gain experience as a HC for when the Trinity position opens up when McGinlay retires.

As for Swartz, he was in over his head as a HC, taking over at the last minute and only being HC for a few months before the incident and scrambling to assemble a coaching staff over the summer (both of whom were also very young). Swartz was an AC the year before, but he’s very young and it was one of his first coaching gigs after college.  A culture of hazing probably existed there for years before they were caught.

Congrats to the UWW B Ball team for a deep run. From out of nowhere.

Kind of you to acknowledge Ret.  A very special run for so many reasons!

Yup, not bad for a team who finished 3rd in their conference.

I know several recruits and HS coaches who look at this board to get a feel for the conference only to see false posts which could influence perceptions and decisions. Thats the part that is most irksome. Welcome to the world of social media I guess.

General football / Re: D3 vs. NAIA

There's room in the schedules, but the NCAA disincentivizes cross-division play as those results are basically ignored when playoff selection time comes.  All other things being equal, having one less win (vs. D3) on the schedule could actually hurt.

In the case of the ARC, almost always a one bid league.  So win the conference and you are in.  Finish 2nd and you stay home.  So maybe these schools could schedule against the NAIA and just take care of business in the conference.  But, there is the chance you could get 2 schools in, and there are plenty of D3 schools in IA, MN, WI, IL you can schedule so unlikely to happen.

Big championship weekend.  Hope Transylvania brings it home and a great coach and team are rewarded.  a  very personal shout out to one of my players in her youth who will be playing for the D-2 title for Minnesota-Duluth.  Tatum Rhoades is a exceptional player who has also won state championships but a incredible person and one of the easiest players i ever got to coach.


On the Rose-Hulman front.  Crickets.
