Stout's schedule, not sure if that has already been posted either.

I think Stout has theirs up in January.

You're probably right, they always have their schedule up ridiculously earlier than the other schools.

Keegan O'Neil is leaving UWRF with 2 years left to play. He didn't get many minutes but is probably a hit to their depth down low.

The Ivy League is canceling all Fall Sports. They were the first to cancel conference tourneys in the Spring...

I hate that "canceled" has been the word many have used. Those sports will come back. Suspended the fall season works.

And they weren't the first to cancel conference tourneys as memory serves. I believe the NESCAC beat them to that punch.

"Canceled" is a better term at this time. They talked about possibly playing football in the spring, but that's up in the air. I didn't hear anything about any other Fall sports playing in the spring. Yes, those Fall sports will, in all likelihood, "come back" as you say, but the 2020-2021 SEASON may not exist for many Fall sports.

I don't even think it's "up in the air." That's one trial balloon that never got off of the ground. Most D3 schools simply don't have the training staff or support staff that would allow them to pile fall sports on top of spring sports in the spring season -- particularly one as resource-intensive as football -- and quite a few of them don't have the space, either.

Canceled sports means they aren't coming back. Ever.

Suspended sports means they are coming back ... like next year for example.

Now, we could say "canceled season," but that wasn't the language used.

Jaxon Flaherty, a 6'1" guard from Unity High School and the Player of the Year in the Lakeland West Conference, will be continuing his academic and athletic career at Stevens Point.

Hmm...interesting, He had committed to North Central(MN) earlier this year. He must have changed his mind.

Cumberland 6'0" G, Noah Schradle, will play basketball at UWEC.

tomt4525 · July 24, 2020, 10:18:37 AM

I have zero clue what is going on with the roster makeup of UWSP. 5 guard lineup? As of now, they have 4 players over 6'4". Peter Timmermann is the lone upperclassmen that fits that bill and he's more of a wing. Jevan Sachtjen and incoming freshman Ethan Breheim and Elijah Vander Velden are absolutely not ready for extended minutes, let alone a starting position.

The only other big I know that UWSP has been recruiting that hasn't made a decision is Kaukauna's Jacob Newhouse at 6'6"-6'7".

UWSP will be hurting either way with their roster, but if they don't get a transfer big in before the season, it might get ugly. Without attrition, their roster sits at 18. Are they even looking to add more players at this point?

Most WIAC Fall sports canceled. Golf and tennis moved to Spring. Announcements on Winter sports determined later.

WIAC cancellation of most fall sports and current trends in Covid 19 in Wisconsin do not bode well for winter sports. At best, basketball will probably not begin practice until January 1.

It seems strange that Wisconsin high school football is allowed, but not WIAC football. It's no safer for high schoolers to play than for college age players.

The WIAC has to follow the NCAA testing process which according to the WIAC would add to the cost to allowing fall sports to play the WIAA doesn't have the same requirements. Basketball is another question it's cheaper to test a 15 member BB squad than a 100 member FB squad. This what I heard on a interview with the WIAC Comissioner on a Milwaukee radio station.
