At this point the gophers should just scrap the baseball program and use the funds for hockey. They clearly don’t care or aren’t able to compete at a high level
I would say Mira Jalosuo should get a call. She has been an assistant with both St.Cloud and the Frost. Also turned around the Stillwater high school program before that. She just finished her first year at St. Cloud which is a really tough job but she can coach and build culture. Plus she...
