It was so brutal this year Oshkosh is doing a redo on their SID search after just one year.

https://careers.uwosh.edu/cw/en-us/job/500700/communications-specialist-athletics

With a salary of $34-46K, do they really think they are going to attract someone who is good, much less that will stay beyond using UWO as a stepping stone.  Pay a decent salary you might get a quality person with media experience that really gets it!!!  At that pay, keep on the revolving door/treadmill.

Always hate to see Athletic Management leaders fail to see the long view, big picture and instead hide behind the "what have you done for me lately".  Good news is that for those Semling impacted those words aren't needed.  But for a future coach exploring UWSP, this generic approach speaks volumes to how coaches are (or in this case aren't) valued.

Given the quality hire of an experienced college coach for the Calvin women's program, one has to think there will be a big-time hire on the men's side of things as well.

What is the latest at Oshkosh?  Sims has made.spme.bad programmatic decisions.at UWO, but it takes very little grey matter to make this one.  WOTS is Sims wants "his guy" even though a Natty doorstop resides on Kolf.  Maybe Lewis to Calvin instead.

I understand that the UWO announcers are students and in training, but....
The PBP gal isn't too bad, although I don't know if she played basketball.  The color guy provides NOTHING basketball related...zero insights, nothing about strategy.  Simply sounds like some dude sitting up in the bleachers that offers Captain Obvious opinions.  Sad if this is the best they have.

Curious what happened to Wisconsin Lutheran's Tyler De Young.  Captain last two years and versatile starter who could play inside/out.  Never felt he got the shots he deserved with Kennedy taking all of them.  Now isn't on the roster for his senior year.  Anyone know what's up?

Here is the breakdown of the recruiting thus far.

Earlier I had posted this one for Calvin:

PG Jack Cahalane - Brookfield Academy

Interesting that Calvin's announcement comes less than two weeks after sister-school Dordt announces the same thing.  What is unique is that #DefenderNation was very transparent in their process/logic, while it seems (at least from this board) that the alumni of that great institution in the Dutch Jerusalem are stuck in the the trees looking for the forest.   

Calvin won out in the recruiting race for Jack Cahalane, and excellent point guard.

BVU's Van Haaften heads to Dordt

A huge loss for for BV, as perhaps the most proven coach in the IIAC jumps to Dordt.  Not often a 400-win guy leaves his school.  Thoughts from the crew?  NAIA vs NCAAD3?

There are a few MIACs on the cusp of making some big "commitments" from recruits, stay tuned in the next month. Triple-double guy Grant Rohrer from MCC likes Gustavus, Lake City PG Brady Kuchinka likes Olaf/Gustavus, and Nate Albers of Mounds View is cutting his list soon to 3 MIACs.

WOTS is that Rohrer also looking at NAIA Dordt, a perennial NAIA contender.

Any reason rosters are so.....slow...... in getting posted?

Nebraska Wesleyan Bombshell ... doesn't sound like they gave the GPAC any heads-up that they were looking to switch to the IIAC:

GPAC STATEMENT ON NEBRASKA WESLEYAN'S MEMBERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
GPAC - Mon, Jul. 20, 2015 at 2:10 PM
The Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) was informed on Monday (July 20) of a 2pm press conference today where Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Nebraska, announced that they have accepted membership in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC), an affiliated conference of NCAA Division III.  Their membership will begin in 2016-17.

"We were informed by the NWU administration of this decision to change conference affiliation to the Iowa Conference at 9:30am on Monday and prior to that time had no knowledge of their intentions to depart the GPAC," said GPAC Commissioner Corey Westra in a statement on Monday.

"The GPAC member institutions will move forward as leaders in the NAIA and will continue to work diligently, just as we have since our inception in 2000, to offer the best athletic and academic offerings to our more than 5,000 student-athletes," added Westra.  "We are a strong conference and have a great group of institutions that will work together as we continue to offer character driven intercollegiate athletics in the NAIA."
