With McKersie named head coach at Emerson, seems like Toulson to Kenyon makes sense ...

No clue...and only beginning to think about....

Dan Toulson

Travis Wall....can't imagine an OWU guy would go to Kenyon but that would be petty,  right? More likely he's got at least a soft promise with OWU or being a Minnesota guy perfectly happy in Northfield.

Would love the other OWU star down in Granville...but he looks set for life.

The irony is that Darren Moore lives in Granville.

Saw J. Sitch in an ESPN commercial last night while watching the NBA draft with footage of her celebrating title with her former team in Roanoke.

Kenyon a heck of a job.  One of best in D3 hands down.

Good news!

Quality guy.

I missed the bit where we discussed why Toulson left Emerson. Looks like they had a good season. What happened?

Not exactly what this thread was meant for, but since the head coach at North Central took the time to post it on Twitter, I thought it was worth cross-posting here.

If you know anyone interested in a full time Asst coach position with full benefits please DM me!

Interesting, and, to my mind, pretty weird.

I don't think that Enzo Fuschino's had a full-time assistant at NCC before, although I'm not 100% certain about that; Tony Passi may have served in that capacity during the 2019 season (his single season on staff under Enzo). Dimitri Tsoukalas has been Fuschino's right-hand man since Enzo came to NCC in 2019, but Tsoukalas has also worked simultaneously as a staff coach and tournament director for Campion United, a soccer club out in the far west suburbs. He's not listed in the staff dropdown for Campion United anymore, though, and according to the NCC athletics staff directory and Facebook (where he was active as recently as this weekend) he's still an assistant coach at North Central, so it seems to me that if NCC has decided to allot the money for a second full-time job to the Cardinals men's soccer program, the faithful and newly-freed-up Tsoukalas would be Enzo's logical choice. But I don't pretend to have any inside info as to that relationship dynamic.

Enzo's predecessor Matt Klosterman did have a full-time assistant, Dylan Milkent. Well, I should add that Milkent, who was also Klosterman's recruiting coordinator and goalkeeper coach, was listed as the NCC women's program's GK coach as well, so I guess that that technically means that he wasn't full-time for the men's program. But I doubt that that other duty really got in his way in terms of the time he put in with the Cardinals men.

The weirdest thing is that Enzo is trawling in rarely-fished waters by openly soliciting full-time assistant coach applicants on Twitter. He's been a D3 head coach for sixteen years (eleven at UW-Platteville, five at North Central), so you'd think that he had more than enough contacts to find a FTA in the traditional manner rather than setting up a blind search via social media.

I don't have any of the NCC-specific knowledge that you have, but I also found it a bit curious. My reaction was that this must have come up last-minute, which is why he went to Twitter to advertise it after striking out with people who already are in Chicago that might have been in a position to take the job seamlessly. If he just wanted to promote his existing assistant, but they needed to advertise the position as a formality to comply with university regulations, then he could have just posted it on the NCAA board for the requisite period and then gone ahead and made the hire.  Twitter, even before it started falling apart, isn't the kind of place you post a job listing just to satisfy formal regulations.  It seems like the place you go to because you actually are kind of desperate after looking elsewhere.

Travis Wall it is.

WOW!

Wow!

Going head-to-head with his alma mater and mentor in a huge rivalry.  Quite a move!

[PaulNewman]

And.....BOOM!

[Kuiper]

Wall's move to Kenyon makes you wonder where Dan Toulson is going now that he has left Emerson

[PaulNewman]

OMG....well, this should tide me over until I finally see the Jaylen Brown supermax extension tweet.

Greetings from Winooski, VT....actually with my son and daughter this morning overlooking the flooded Winooski River Falls.

This is just too good to be true.  Absolutely thrilled.  Would have been my top pick out of every possible candidate, probably including Shapiro.  This is soooooo good for Kenyon in so many ways. 

This almost certainly doesn't happen without Brown (and Moore) making Kenyon a top 5-6 program in the country, and now Wall hopefully can carry that on and go even further.  His youth, presumed ability to relate to young college athletes,  presumed camaraderie with peers in the coaching community, and obvious excellence are all huge pluses.  A 500 ft home run across the board!

Now, will St. Olaf still play the Owls in Gambier on September 10th?  Will the awkwardness prevail over the value of playing a top opponent (both sides) that would be extremely difficult to even approximate with such little time before the season starts?

Protip:  Only a few tickets (upper bowl) left for OWU at Kenyon, October 4, 3:30 pm.

Second protip:  Coach Bianco just added an extra circle on the schedule for October 7, 6:00 at Deeds Field-Piper Stadium.

Also just saw that Denison plays Wooster at "Historic Crew Stadium" in Columbus.

Travis "Flippin" Wall.....pinch me please!

I think my "retirement" just got postponed.  Get your negative karma loaded up and ready to fire.
