Pretty hard to criticize a great D3 event like the Great Lakes Invite, but La Crosse gets paired up with St. John's, who they seem to play every other year and a host of other MIAC teams, and Marietta, who they just played in the 22-23 season. I would've like to see the Eagles go up against JHU, JCU or Emory.

I do plan on making the trip depending on who Point has at their 4-team tournament the same weekend, I believe.

On top of La Crosse's opponents...which like you said, would have been cool to see them playing teams they didn't just play...but why would La Crosse get the 1 pm time slot on both days? They kind of got the shaft on that one. I get them having the earliest game once, but not twice.

Someone on Twitter posted that they are actually already playing each other before the GLI schedule came out. Now, the organizer of the event is changing the schedule again, I believe.

Regarding the scheduling, I guess they don't want the late game participants playing an earlier game the following day. I suppose they are just trying to keep the rest periods the same? Obviously the hosts are going to get the prime time games.

Have Fox or Barnstable gotten any D1 offers? I've seen posts about schools that have contacted them.

With almost 2000 D1 and D2 players in the portal, there have got to be more and more scholarship opportunities, but also more competition.

Tough non-conference schedule there, good work North Park.

Platteville G, Seth Bunders, has entered the transfer portal. He didn't play much this past season for the Pioneers but was highly recruited at the D3 level last year.

I'm curious seeing Bunders family was in Almond until Seth's junior year and Coach Dernbach being Almond if he'll try to get him. Guessing he also watched him play while at Wauzeka Steuben. Can't help but wonder how great Almond would've been last year had they had Bunders along with Lamb and Phillips!

And Dernbach has massive NIL trove so this could be interesting. Will Greek Tragedy send an even bigger check ?

Agreed. I did hear during the season when boards were down that it was NIL that moved Miron from Oshkosh to Point.

The full release on Malvik.

A nice intro press conference. Seems like he'll fit in in Eau Claire and the WIAC.

AD did say they received "close to 100" applicants.

I can't confirm nor deny how big my checks are.
