Well, it's about time for the board to die down until recruiting season heats up in a few months. Every year around this time I tell myself, "This should be the year I take a break from the boards and quit spending so much time on them" and I do that for a month or two and then you shmoes suck me back in.
That being said, for those of us who do plan to keep checking the boards for at least another season, I figured we can do some way too early predictions for anyone who wants to. Keep in mind that the transfer portal is always looming (both ways), so this thread is mostly based on incomplete information. But it's gotta be better than sitting around with no new posts to view for two weeks.
So...what are you guys thinking? I don't care if it's NSIC-only or if we make it a region-wide thread. Here are a few starter questions off the top of my head:
1) What does NWMSU look like next season, both on the court and on the sidelines? (This question assumes it's not an NSIC-only thread, obviously.)
2) Will Moorhead be smart enough to hire Moorhead123 and St. Cloud insane enough to hire simple as a $3 bill to fill their coaching vacancies? If not, who steps in at both schools?
3) Will Duluth get everyone to come back, and, if so, will they utterly dominate the NSIC next year?
4) Will Augie have enough talent with their young players (specifically the bigs) to compete right away?
5) Will Upper Iowa have guys to fill the shoes of Smoldt, Williams, and oldest Duax effectively enough to stay near the top of the conference?
6) Who are the sleeper teams in the NSIC? Do we expect a big jump from Concordia (saw they've landed a few incoming transfers already)? Will the Wolves reclaim their grip on the top of the NSIC North? Will Mankato be back to "good enough to sneak into the Regional even if it seems impossible" status again?
I'll throw some more questions out as I think of them. I'm curious to hear what us wise and all-knowing fans think.
