Wolves hire Orton

[tsull]

I stand corrected: Former Alaska Fairbanks and University of Idaho player Mrus got a deal at BYU. More power to him. Are these coaches just under recruiting...

[tsull]

Looks like an I2 guy -- Instant Impact. Big, scores and rebounds well. On paper, a great get.

WOU coach Ryan Orton is hitting the recruiting...

[tsull]

Contrary to popular belief, a lot of these guys won't get picked up. Mrus -- formerly of UAF and at Idaho last year -- had a lot of injuries at UI, played...

I've lived all over the Northwest, Idaho, Oregon, Washington; the knowledge of small college sports by the average fan and even the students attending...

[tsull]

Western Oregon had one guy remaining, Ty Best, I don't think played at all this past year he put himself into the portal so every single guy is gone....

[tsull]

This is spot on. I try to tell some of my friends that most people don't know the difference between division 2 and division 3, and like you said, some...

[tsull]

More on fans. Fans fund college sports almost 100%. They fund scholarships and nil 100%. In division 1 sports, it starts with the networks. The TV network...

[tsull]

I agree with a lot of this and I'm not against the player movement. I am against unlimited eligibility, however. The NCAA absolutely hates high school...

[tsull]

Just to clarify things: I really respect the basketball knowledge of Northern and Anchorage here. I think both have contributed a lot to this message...

[tsull]

WOU has Rugby as a club sport and they've done quite well. I actually support them because they ask and they're super nice people. The schedule often...

[tsull]

Thousands of players have played in bowl games and gotten ready for the NFL draft. Today's guys are soft. I saw Josh Allen play in a low level bowl game...

[tsull]

College football players skip bowl games and Conference Championship games all the time before the season is over and retain their scholarships and their...

[tsull]

Contracts, trades, penalties, salary caps, compensation. Hey, they want to be a business, be a business. I've had to sign contracts for pretty low level...

[tsull]

It is professional, that's why you need contracts, trades, buyouts, etc. This amateur/professional stuff is insane. Players love it because there's no...

[tsull]

Wow, great move for him. Great hire for Fresno State....

[tsull]

Got to be honest, hiring an assistant coach from one of the worst programs in the conference, the team Western Oregon even beat, doesn't get me very inspired....

[tsull]

That is funny, I heard four high schools but can't confirm it. This dude is never happy....

[tsull]

Goods always poses some good questions and thoughts and below in the thread regarding the WOU search, which had me thinking: How much does your school...

[tsull]

I think this is spot on. I don't think we have the Division II infrastructure to play for national titles in any sport. Maybe track and field and I think...
