UWSP has their new Assistant Coach.

Not that I have to announce this, but I'm done posting here. I am beyond sick of seeing Chicken Hoops moronic posts over and over. PauldingLightUP can keep up with the recruiting I'm sure.

The cool thing about these boards is that you don't have to read his posts. You see his name? Just skip it.

We appreciate your posts.

I second what the venerable GT said.

That would be a real loss, I hope you reconsider.

Does he have any connections to Wisconsin? Or why was he hired?

You can stay, I will go.

I didn't know there was a quality control measure on posts here in D3.com land.

I haven't seen where CH has ever attacked or slandered any other poster. Like GT said just bypass his stuff if you don't like it.

Personally, I'm still trying to figure out if Heather is:
a) real
b) a blow up doll
c) an imaginary girlfriend of CH

Time will tell. But I suggest everyone stick around and enjoy the boards. It's really just for fun.

The La Crosse Tribune interviewed Sam Grieger and reports that he was recruited by D1 UWGB, St. Thomas and North Dakota State. He also visited D2 UW Parkside. The NIL offer from GB was described as "a little bit." I gather that this means it was less than one might have expected. In the end, Mr. Grieger wanted a competitive program in which he would fit and felt UWL checked all the boxes. He also likes that his family can easily get to his games. Mr. Grieger is more bullish about the Eagles' chances at making a deep tourney run than
I am and I hope he is as good a prognosticator as he is a scorer. Lastly, kudos to the
Tribune for covering this story. Local coverage of D3 sports has deteriorated and we should be grateful when an outlet expends resources on it.

Good work Mitch. Maybe D1 programs low ball D3 athletes because they already don't get a scholarship and part of the appeal is the "D1 experience". Curious what fellow D3er Overway got from GB coming from Calvin.

I'm sure he is happy. Maybe that was it. St Thomas would have been good. They are solid, coached team. Hopefully LAX was able to get him a few bucks. I agree. I don't see Lax being as good as last couple years and it will be how far Sam takes them. The bench was not deep. Maybe recruits are coming in that we don't know. Comfortable at LAX. Not sure at other schools. Wish him the best.

UW-Stout picks up a commit from 6'3" Jaxen Holmlund from Waconia (MN). Looks like he was an All-Conference Honorable Mention selection in the Metro West Conference.

Thanks to those of you who wrote to support me staying; will consider it but will also consider the other board members. No need to decide now, the summer is for other activities.

There's all indication he's going to stay with the team and rehab. Maybe there's an injury clause (I have no idea how NIL deals work) or an insurance payout for the school, but he's likely going to be able to get two years of masters work covered. Certainly the scholarship portion of his offer remains, at the very least.
