A great honor indeed.  However, the lack of either D'Amico and/or Lesmond on the top 15 is a highly dubious list.

Good call.  Both those guys are solid candidates and Notre Dame Niles was a lot of fun to watch this year.

Just a random thought...

I do wonder if we will see a few more transfers than usual this semester.

Students have been detached from the program for a long time and are unlikely the opportunity to work in summer camps and other activities that keep the student tied to the team.

That is a curious question. On the other hand, especially those who weren't able to finish the post season, they may have unfinished business and want to return even more so.

[WUPHF]

I guess I agree with that.

It seems likely that everyone returns to Oshkosh.

But for players at schools such as Millikin and Aurora....

Maybe they had a good experience but they had to much time alone to wonder what if...

Maybe not.

Maybe not.

I suppose if a player is going from a mid-table/bottom team to a possible contender, there would be a reason to move on.

[Pat Coleman]

Football players, including an honorable mention all-conference player are leaving MOUNT UNION. I think it's fair to say this is an odd offseason.

True, although it's not every off-season that Mount Union changes head football coaches.

I am pleased to announce that I am furthering my academic and basketball career at Augustana College. I want to thank my family, coaches, and teammates for supporting me throughout this process. Can't wait for what the next four years hold. Go Vikings!
