Now SD Mines seems to be the repeated team of choice for some reason, with them still scheduling various other small schools in the region as well.

    In the 5 years since SDSU, we've played Nebraska twice and Minnesota once. That's it on the D1 scheduling. I wonder if we might see Utah State on the schedule in the near future?
    When the Jacks were in their early years as D1 if I recall SMSU beat them a couple of times.

      Once, in 2008 (Elite Eight year). But still played 5 more times after that.

        Hey, don't forget about the D1 in our own league we'll all get to play next year. When we play at the Pentagon, we should all get a Div. 1 style check. :)

              Easy win, maybe?

              Augie, Northern, and even SMSU in a good year are far from a guaranteed win for some of these smaller D1s. I guess that's what I'd always thought, in regards to SDSU anyway.

                Exactly right. Why risk a horrid loss or a black eye losing to a division lower. NSU has tried for years or atleast had, to get USD and SDSU but they wont do it. Would be some awesome crowds though.

Kenny Byers, Nick Dufault and Braedan Hanson will be juniors and the veterans of the group. Grant Kramer played well down the stretch and will probably be in the rotation again as a sophomore. Jake Phipps, Brian Dayman and Kaden Evans all redshirted this year and will compete for playing time.

                  Then there's the incoming class. Right now we have five committed, but I'm guessing a few more will be coming before the season, whether it's more high schoolers or a transfer. A few will probably get thrown into the rotation right away, but most will likely redshirt next year. Early favorites to play right away would probably be Cliff McCray and Sam Schwartz, since we'll need a lead guard to come from somewhere. I could see Logan Benson play immediately, as he has the toughness and the type of game that could earn his way into a role.

                  Looking forward to watching this group develop!
                  Add in local product Weston Baker Magrath, who will have junior eligibility and doesn't have to sit out a year for transfer rules. Probably slides right in as starting center.

                    Probably...

                    What other 4 or 5 would start ahead of WBM?

                      Only thing I would say is that Braedan Hanson technically has starting experience in the system as the 5 man, though I think he may slide up to the 4 to Michael Lee's spot.

                      If it was me putting together the rotations today, I would start Schwartz or McCray / Dufault / Byers / Hanson / Baker Magrath with a bench group of Kramer, Dayman, Phipps and Benson competing for minutes

                        Madison Gehloff. Isn't this the gal from Waseca? I see that she signed with Southwest.

                          Great signings just keep coming!

                          Finished just shy of a 2,000/1,000 career with 1,983 points and 939 rebounds

                            Mustangs have a real good recruiting class coming in. We might have some growing pains this year, but i think we'll be better than expected. I think we will be a fun team to watch.

                              For sure. It's just restarting the 5 year clock.

                              Thankfully a lot of the conference will be down, so like you said we may be better than expected. YOUNG though. Byers, Hanson, Dufault and Baker Magrath will be the vets as juniors.

                                Saw some of the team in the gym recently. I don't know how good we'll be, but I think this will be a fun group to watch over the next two years.
