WBB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Nites]

Durbin restocks the cupboard.  Blazer, as for Schmidt, I believe that she was the second leading scorer behind Natalie Gigler (13 ppg vs. 15 ppg) on a 7-20 team. 

Blazer -

Check that, I think those are 04-05 stats.  This year's squad was something like 23-4.  If you want to see something really odd, check out this link to the Minnesota State High School League:  http://www.mshsl.org/mshsl/schoolactpage.asp?school=149&actnum=403

It shows Champlin Park's schedule, record and roster, but it doesn't list Schmidt on the roster or show her in any of the box scores if you check the game summaries.  The points scored by CP in the games are also greater than the sum totals of the points by the listed players.  All too baffling for my simple mind. . . .

The message that's clear here is:  Don't trust the MSHSL site for JACK.  It's pretty much garbage.  If you're looking for hoops stats for HS games and teams, you're better off using the Star Tribune's website.

I've got two $40 Lynx tickets (section 113, row G) for June 11 against the Houston Comets that I'm looking to give away. I'll be busy punching myself in the face (and either camping or watching the World Cup, but that's beside the point) and can't attend.

Surprisingly, none of my friends want to go so I'll end up using them as toilet paper unless someone speaks up. Shoot me a PM/email with an address if any poster/lurker wants to use them. I'll even cover the stamp, as long as I'm promised they won't be turned into a CSB recruiting tool

Never let it be said Gusties aren't good people

Any word on the SMU job?

You know anything about him, SS51?

The Lynx tickets have been spoken for and sent off, so people can quit bombarding me with requests

Nope, I know just as much about him as the rest of you...

Sorry I'm not more help, just hoping for a rebuilding year for SMU and maybe making a climb the year after next. Who knows--he sounds engergetic...and should bring a fresh, new energy to SMU. Go Cardinals!!

These boards have been dead, but maybe this can heat things up a little bit.

GAC assistant and defensive guru Aaron Kahl has (re)joined the GAC men's program in the same capacity. Not sure who they can get to replace him, but that could be a pretty big blow to the program.

That said, the Gusties have put together one of their best recruiting classes in recent years - according to a little birdie anyway. Brianne Radtke, a PG from Lester Prairie, Katie Layman, a 6-2 post from Hudson, Wis, and Bayli Vandelanotte headline the class. If the post and PG pan out - and a suitable replacement can be found for Kahl, GAC should again challenge for the conference title.

Willy is correct in that the Gusties will be searching for a new assistant coach...

He is also correct on the strong recruiting class...he didn't mention that Vandelanotte is 6'4"....Getting Radtke was huge! It was apparently down to GAC and Hamline and the Gusties got her. She could make an impact immediately.

As for others that Willy left out....Juila Schmidt, a guard from Marshall who was on the all-tournament team, Kirsten Tiesius (sp?) from United South Central who can shoot the ball and a shooting guard from Osceola whose former coach who is now assistant A.D. at Hopkins said is the best shooter he has ever coached.

This class at GAC might be as good as Carleton's recent recruiting class of Lincoln, Biewen, Kunelius and Oken-Berg.

It seems there are going to be quite a few new assistants in the conference this year.  Concordia, St. Kates, St Marys, Gustavus, Bethel are all going to have new assistant coaches.  Any word on who might be getting or has gotten each of these jobs?  I've heard rumors about various people at some of the different spots.  Can any one offer some hard evidence?

[Willy Wonka]

Rumormilling - Former GAC guard Angie Peterson, now Angie Potts, is being considered for the Gustie coaching vacancy.

Also, GAC soph-to-be Emily Nelson will be out until after Christmas with a knee injury. She was a probable starter, so that puts a damper on things to start the year.

Wonka will be wearing his Figo jersey at the office today.

[Collegeville Magic]

Anything happening around here?  Any news, rumors, hirings/firings, signings we should all be aware of?

This fan is just plain bored with the summer hoops drought, and the WNBA just isn't fixing that so far...

[Ghost of MIAC Past]

I know St. Mary's hired their new assistant coach.  Someone who used to coach at Bethel.  Any word on who got the Gustavus job?

[Willy Wonka]

The GAC decision isn't final, but it sounds like a former NDSU assistant and current HS coach from down south will have the first crack at things. Regardless, the position should be filled within a week or so.
