Looks to me like the regional games between WIAC foes Oshkosh and Whitewater was the real title series.

Stout picked up a late recruit.

Tyrel Creger, 6'2" out of Valley City State University. 13.1 ppg, 4 rpg, 3.5 apg.

Newcomer of the year.

I think he has one year of eligibility left.

Also went to Citrus College

...and Bay College

Wonder if all his credits transfer? 

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on May 17, 2025, 07:58:16 PMRiley Zayas has informed me that Stevens Point will be playing Hardin-Simmons, a Sweet 16 team last year, on Friday, December 20, at the Leslie Robinson Classic in San Antonio. On Saturday, they will play host Trinity TX.

That might be a nice pre-Christmas trip if I can get some help with the chickens. The level of disease risk has dropped precipitously so this ought to work out. The Riverwalk is cool; will Trinity be the Pointers Alamo?

Quote from: PauldingLightUP on May 14, 2025, 01:32:03 PMThe only thing I can reason is so there are an even 7 Saturday and 7 Wednesday game dates.

But, I don't like reason anyway. Because the option could be 8 Saturday's and 6 Wednesday's.

Either way it's uneven. 7 home games and 7 home games no matter how you slice it.

You'd think that an academic institution league like the WIAC would try to keep the athletes home on a school day and move the bye to a Wednesday. Maybe they use AI to update their schedules.

Another NIL play?

Eau Claire picks up University of Mary transfer Xavier Lewis, 6'6" out of Lynnwood, IL. I think he'll have one year remaining. Started 25 of 26 games last season.

Any rumors on NIL money pool at Eau Claire?

It's nice.

Oconto's Carter Koch 6'5" is headed to Eau Claire.

He was unanimous 1st team Packerland all-conference.

 

A lot of Green Bay and De Pere area kids signing up with Eau Claire. What's the reason or is it random?

Quote from: PauldingLightUP on April 23, 2025, 10:40:17 PMInteresting how different schools decide to it differently.

Just two years ago Dernbach left UW-La Crosse for UW-Stevens Point on April 27.

UW-La Crosse went through the full posting, interviews, and hired Gritzmacher June 22.

UW-Stout has an opening on April 23, names an interim, and won't post the position until after the 2025-2026 season.

It's probably entirely based on whether they had an assistant coach who was ready to take the reins.

Didn't Oshkosh make Matt Lewis win the NCAA title to get rid of the interim tag?      

Quote from: Pat Coleman on April 11, 2025, 12:06:54 PMNot every WIAC school has reciprocity with Minnesota -- just the ones closer to the border.

Not true. It's a UW System/MN thing.  Lady Dawgs of UWSP are recruiting in MN with earnest.

Quote from: tomt4525 on April 17, 2025, 06:18:47 PMWinona St transfer, Tyler Orr, has done the unthinkable and has committed to play with his brother at UWSP.

Appears to have strong hair game.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on April 15, 2025, 10:28:50 PMOther sites, including his own X account has him at 6'10"!

Yeah, I saw 6'8, 6'9, and 6'10. I went the lowest I guess to not oversell it.

I'll take the middle at 6'9," but after watching him multiple times (both in person and via streams,) he doesn't play anywhere close to his size in my opinion...  Likes to sit outside but doesn't have the footspeed to stay in front of wing type players.  I see him as a "project" type recruit where Lewis and company try to develop him and see if he can be productive as an upperclassmen.

Coach Lewis is willing to develop players, as I understand that others coaches have troves of cash to buy a team instantly. But he also plays a lot of young players.  Clearly cash options must not be the case in Point WBB, I am chagrined by that. But chicken market is tight, bird flu is an issue. Someday I will be a donor.

Saw a Point game recently. Not good.

Hilltop fish fry is still good, but not as good without Lady Dawg hoops to follow.

Which WIAC schools have NIL with funds ready?
