MBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[chmarx]

Before I went to La Crosse to work, I worked at a small college that hired a new head football coach with an unbelievable resume, including NFL experience.  Too good to be true, indeed.  He changed his mind a week or so later, when he got a better offer.

Lance Randall did not get the NMU job:

Looks like UWO's recruiting class is starting to take shape.....

T. J. Kellner-6'4" Guard-Sheboygan North (Transfer from Minnesota-Duluth)
Cory Nickel-6'2" Guard-Waupun
Dylan Wurtz-6'4" Guard-Kimberly

While I think there is some talent in this group, they were lacking size last season, and this group doesn't seem to help solve that problem.

I noticed on Wissports.net that Point doesn't have any recruits listed.  I know there's not a lot of holes to fill but does anyone know of any big time recruits?  I know they have a kid from Rufus King that's supposed to be really good and will probably start but can't remember his name.  Are they getting any big guys?

  Are they getting any big guys?

No, they are only getting midgits.

I heard that Point decided not to recruit this year.  They have enough good players.  I mean, they won a championship with those players, so why add anyone else? lol 

[badgerwarhawk]

I agree OS, Semling should take the year off recruiting.  Heck, I think he should take two, maybe three, years off while he's at it.  After all  the good kids come to Point anyway.

I think most felt Cross would end up at the D2 level.  A very good addition for Platteville.  He is just the 2nd member of the class 1A/2A 1st team heading to a D3...

Heard that Prince from UWEC is leaving school...anyone able to confirm this?  That would be a blow to their depth in the backcourt.

What's the deal with the coaching situation at Superior.  Are they trying to set a record for the longest, most drawn out coaching search?  Anyone have any updates or even finalists for the job? 

[badgerwarhawk]

WHITEWATER adds a pair.....http://wissports.net/sports/hoopsb/blog/message.aspx?f=123&id=1158444

[chucktab]

A little bird told me that a former assistant coach from a Western WIAC school is the new head coach at UW Super.  Any confirmation on this from anyone from Souptown?

[frankiet]

That bird has good information. And its not a Stout former assistant.

[Just Bill]

Oh, stop it, already.  Just name names.

[chmarx]

Yeah.  Inquiring minds want to know.
