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.

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?

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on March 17, 2025, 03:30:28 PM"The play felt like it was a long time coming for the 6-foot-7 senior, who had to play JV last year after being deemed ineligible to compete in varsity sports by the WIAA following his transfer from Plymouth."

The WIAA is located in Stevens Point and we live nearby.  Lots if these issues and every time they seem like they are the keystone cops.
 

Oshkosh won and is on their way to Salem for the Final 4.  They were tough all weekend. 

GT--any transfer risk in the WIAC....specifically rumors floating around Point.  I don't see why but these are not always logical decisions.

Also, any grad transfers with eligibility who could attend a WIAC grad program?  Business or engineering add-on to current degree? 

Quote from: bulk19 on March 12, 2025, 10:48:10 PMGreek Tragedy = UWL starts spring break on Friday, so I'm not sure what kind of student fan base will be still around... Not sure how many of the townsfolk will hop on the bandwagon this weekend, either... But I'd think you'd be able to get a ticket... Ticket info at the school's website allows you to purchase via Internet, and says "your phone is your ticket." ($17)

Also, if you do decide to make the trip and are looking for a quick bite to eat, the Eagle's Nest bar/restaurant across from the gym is under new ownership and will not be open this weekend....

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on March 13, 2025, 07:41:52 AMIt's closed? That's some bad timing. I will have to see what the work schedule is like this weekend. Although it's a lot easier to watch it on the TV/internet that drive 3 and 1/2 hours over there.

I'm sure they chose to close this weekend with it being the start of Spring Break and the thought being it would be a "low traffic" weekend compared to when the students are in session.

The odds of basketball hosting this weekend probably weren't very high when the decision was made, and I doubt it would've mattered compared to the alternatives anyway?

Howie's is better anyway. 

Quote from: Voice of the Titans on March 12, 2025, 11:30:34 AMThe former coach in me decided to watch some game film. I can say that IWU is everywhere. I walked out of my classroom for lunch, and I was in the middle of a trap. 59 is their lowest total of the year. Can UWO hold them around there? IWU has 2 averaging 15, but I think the key is keeping the 2 that average 11 under 7. If you can do that, it would be an elite performance.

As my former Marshfield neighbor says, #InBradWeTrust.  He is quickly becoming the Bo Ryan of D3 women's basketball. 

Is it fair to ask if LaCrosse will serve Old Style at Mitchell Hall for the Sweet 16 this weekend?
