Quote from: BigMark on Yesterday at 09:53:09 AMWhat is the final count of players to leave the UWRF after a championship run? I have counted 11 on X including their top 3 pass catchers from last season. I hope UWRF can rebound and get it back going, but with all the kids that graduated last year and 11 guys who you thought would be back on roster who are not now, that is going to be an uphill climb. I am curious how UWRF handles the interim title of the head coach right now. If that position was posted I would think would see an unbelievable application pool. I am working on my pre season WIAC rankings this week and hope to have them out next week!

I just don't get the large number of transfers.  I completely understand Blake Rohrer.  Being able to put Duke University on your resume.   
DJ FOX - completely understandable.  The only other guy I would advise to transfer is Taylor Sussner. 
Just look at what the team did this off-season.  City wide parade.  Barstool visited for a practice.  They did multiple interviews in Minneapolis.  Visited Lambeau field and atrium.  Went to a Timberwolves game.  Went to a Twins game.  And most importantly they pay in-state tuition so the cost isn't outrageous.

A few notes from this spring.

RF exceed the giving days goal.  Not sure if the $20,000 is before or after the $10,000 matching contribution.  But in the notes, it's for helmet communication and Instant replay reviews..
Pat, does this mean the entire conference will be having reviews this fall?  Or is this for Playoff games only?

I know of just 2 transfer this year so far.  Both to Whitewater. Quarterback Drew VanVleet of Dayton (Patriot league D1), and quarterback Cole Warren of Oshkosh.

Went to the Platteville spring practice.  Lots of parents, not many students.  Offense looked really good, defense got pushed around quite a bit. 

Oshkosh looked to have a great spring practice in the dome.  This must save so much time.  Looks like such a great facility and it's near campus.

Watch out for UW-EC going forward.  Just hired a fantastic offensive coordinator by the name of Phil Ockinga.  Former head coach at a NAIA School. Also coached at South Dakota for WR's and running backs. Hired Brandon Webb to the defense.  Former D2 standout and was on the 49er's mini camp squad.

This conference is only getting stronger.
