I watched him in the state tournament last year against Maple Grove but I don't remember much about his game.

Offered just a few days ago, 6'1" PG also had offers from Iowa, Old Dominion, and a few others.

The rivalry is back! Probably going to be a blowout but fun nonetheless, if we have to have some D3 games to fill out the schedule.

November football games against Marist (home, November 1 - too early but Coach Maker connection), November 8th at Drake (this will be home vs Army now) and November 15th vs Presbyterian (we've played them on the women's side).

I would love to see a Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Saturday football hoops double header with a Pioneer League team. Gimme Drake or Butler or Valpo in football and basketball both!

Coach Ahelegbe at UNI is a former UST assistant (I think it was just the first year of D1). Surprisingly we haven't played them yet though. Drake seemed like the obvious choice even better Hendo from SDSU took the job. It's interesting enough and could be a winnable game. Liberty plays all...

The only incoming freshman at this point is Luka Momcillovic, who has some pedigree as the younger brother of Milan who plays for Iowa State. We'll see what kind of impact

fwiw, there is a St Thomas discussion forum but it is a closed slack channel by invite only to keep the deranged lunatics out. Yours truly is the founder of it. And there is a good discussion over there about the potential next Gopher HC. Ironically, nobody is complaining about the chatter 🙃...

Also Jon Mekonnen from Eastview is at Colorado State, Freshman.

OVC. They played one last season (of getting slaughtered) in the MVFC for football, but already transitioned for hoops and everything else. They'll be OVC for football next year.

Apparently scheduling is very challenging. Some of the lower conferences are creating conference challenges but a lot has to line up for those to work out. For Summit League teams, Western Illinois late departure created challenges and lead to most teams scheduling 3 or 4 D3 (or worse)...

I believe all 3 P12 schools projected in are future B12, so that would bring their total to 11 (as of next year).

Might lose out on recruits to St Thomas instead of just Wisconsin, Duke, Gonzaga, and everyone else.

Anyone looking at this from a perspective of anything happening soon OR discounting based on UST's current position isn't worth arguing with. This is at minimum a 10-15 year proposition and assumes significant investments and change, to recruiting, facilities, and fan support. Today's NCAA (will...

Creighton and Neb already play every year. Marquette and UW-Mad already play every year. How many D1 schools we got in this state?
