Huge commit for the Pointers, New London's Joseph Daly.  Pointers finally add some size. Daly is comfortable out at the 3 point land at 6'7" as well.

Up 8-5 going to the 9th, sure can find some ways to lose.  Great job Richter and the Pointers.  As far as programs go, UWSP baseball is the worst program in the conference at this point.  I never expected to see the program fall this far.

Everyone with eligibility left on UWSP's roster this past season will be back except for Nick Fox and Austin Schaumburg.  That leaves their roster at 20, but they still need to add some size to this incoming recruiting class.

My worry would still be in the frontcourt with Krohn being an unknown on if he can get back to pre-injury form.  Can you rely on Manz until Krohn is healthy enough?  What does Grganto give you?  I have some high hopes for Grganto considering his high school teammate played significant minutes at La Crosse as a freshman and Grganto was more of the go to guy in high school than Crowley was.

With this much returning experience, and as experience leaving the conference, I expect a conference title and a solid run in the NCAA tourney for the Pointers.  They have been talking about banner number 30 in the Quandt for what seems like forever, they need to go get it.

Quote from: tomt4525 on April 03, 2026, 09:57:34 PMRichter has turned UWSP's baseball program into a complete joke.  For the most part early on at UWSP, he won with Jirschele's guys.  So, I thought at the very least he could coach.  It's painfully obvious he can't recruit the talent needed to compete and he can't coach it up either.

Then again maybe just play the kids who have some impact talent regularly?

Nystrom has done nothing but his since he was inserted into the starting lineup last week.  How did it take until the conference portion of the season for him to finally get back-to-back starts?  To go from riding the pine the first quarter of the season to now having him be your 4-hole hitter today is a bit of a head scratcher...

Wouldn't disagree with that other than the players making an impact are few and far between.  Nystrom should have been playing earlier for sure.  Argersinger was their best hitter last year and has really struggled so far.  There is no true shut down pitcher on their roster, haven't had that in what seems like forever.  Talent acquisition and coaching has been lackluster the past couple years.

Eau Claire has been beyond awful and wins 3 out of 4 over Oshkosh.  Point looks like they don't deserve to share the diamond with Oshkosh today.  I thought the low point would be losing 3 of 4 to River Falls in their 1st year back as a program, Richter then says hold my beer and says there are more low points on the way. 

Has turned into a complete waste of time to check box scores or turn on live feeds.  I don't know how long a leash Richter will get but I bet it's longer than he should deserve considering his relationship to Jordan Zimmermann and the funding he has provided the program.

Matt Lewis steps down at Oshkosh due to a family move.  His wife got a new job.  Huge job opening that I'm sure will generate a ton of interest.  Great location for recruiting in the best D3 league in the country.

6'3" Onalaska G, Ian Kowal, committed to La Crosse.

Recruiting update since I have time and nobody has brought up AJ Uttech, chicken coops or their imaginary girlfriend in awhile.  Rankings mean nothing but they give you an idea how Wisconsin players are thought of in the state, atleast up to a month or so ago.  Hopefully there is a rankings update soon since the season is over.

Pathetic job on the boards and refusing to get out and guard Johnson past the 3 point line does the Pointers in.  Jekyll and Hyde team ever since Krohn went down and refused to show up in their biggest games of the season. 

Didn't watch, but Dernbach must have done a master class of getting his team ready to go in a big game on their home floor once again.

Quote from: ChickenHoops on February 12, 2026, 08:30:02 AMThat Point loss was excruciatingly painful. 

When Heather left the casita this morning for work, she asked me if I thought Uttech might have defended that inbound better. I told her I would ask the board but that some of you would be salty about the question. Told her I'd tell her what you all thought when she stops back at noon. 

Is this a serious question?  I certainly can't tell based on all these scenarios that you bring to this forum.  You have a 6'4"/6'5" guy with long arms and can jump out the gym guarding the inbound...and lets switch it for a guy who is 6'1" and isn't a leaper by any stretch of the imagination.  Your obsession with Uttech is a little weird. 

This forum has gotten ridiculous and less and less about basketball.  Have fun learning about "Heather."

Point deserved to lose tonight.  When you decide not to show up until about 2 minutes left in the first half, you deserve to lose.  When you get beat to loose balls repeatedly all game long, you deserve to lose.  They have everything to play for and you can't lose to the last place team in the league.

Point lost the conference title tonight because they aren't going 3-0 against Whitewater, La Crosse and Oshkosh.  I think all 3 of those teams are playing better than Point is right now.

Side note, why in the heck is Isaiah Moore never leaving the bench?  He can give you solid minutes and some length on the wing.  That makes zero sense to me.
