Following a 90+ yard td drive, Millikin recovered an onside kick against NPU.  Scored another td to win the game.

Yesterday, Carthage College also recovered an onside kick against NPU...a td woulda won it for Carthage.

Happy that Vance and Vuckovic are back!  I know nothing about the other Serb. (Unknown to me) Mustaf Rexhepi from Niles North, coached by Glen Olson...his son set records at Niles North, which is a good program, and Reid plays for Wheaton.  I talked to Olson at the Wheaton game about some of his players I coached in baseball.

Sergio McLain Jr.     and whole lotta other transfers.

NCC's freshmen could see substantial PT under the watchful eyes of NCC coaches next Saturday at 0-2 North Park.

#1 North Central relies on IL student-athletes. #2 Bethel relies on MN.  Lowly NPU has now opted to recruit from FL and GA. I wonder if those recruits from the southeast will succeed in the classroom like the players recruited by Rooker's predecessor who found success with recruits from the L.A. area and AS.

I did not know of his wife's illness...not in the NPU announcement.  So he took an LOA and did not return.

I know the timing sucks with McGhee's departure.  So NPU hires an unemployed coach with a sub .500 record with no ties to Chicago.  Definitely not a "strong hire."

Losing McGhee stings badly!  I wonder how many players will transfer, including to Rockford.  My rose-colored glasses looked forward to watching Vance for four years, but that outlook does not now look promising.

My bad, Gotberg.

Tragic news at Wheaton.  Sandy, a friend of Greg and I, lost an uncle due to riptide at "Pilgrim Pines," which is about one mile south of Warren Dunes in MI.

I am surprised by NPU's financial health rank.  Plus, NPU must spend money now on retrofitting the old and/or building new ones.

Junkyard Dog!  During his senior year, the team truly impressed me on defense.  NPU needs to significantly improve in this regard.

Accepted the Rockford job after interviewing for the NPU WBB job?

Aaron Jacobs accepted the Rockford position after North Park signaled he would not be offered the NPU WBB job.

According to NPU's website, Millikin's Brayden Saling (9-0) picked up the victory against NPU.  Millikin's website lists Saling as a frosh INF.

True, Greg.  I think Kolden is the top CCIW guard and Soren is definitely a top three forward.  The two did match up on D yesterday.  Kolden is known as a scorer, but he plays D very well as evidenced by steals, disruptions, rebounds, and intensity.

In a massive blunder, North Park and its official photographer failed to stage a player lineup under the banners, which woulda been an immediate classic.  Opportunity missed.  Uff da!!
