    Wow, how wrong can you be in one short post. Exactly ONE of those players listed is a big man. And Santos was recruited and played under McD. You forgot Josh Molstead. Huge inside presence. Oops, he was a walk-on, just like Lundberg. And you left out Brent Barz, who Jake DID sign. There was a big man who was certainly more highly touted than Pehl, but he lasted only part of one year. Guess that was a total failure on Jake's part. Start up the Fire Jake threads again.

    But yes, let's write a player off after barely any playing time, people were saying the same things about Jordan after his THIRD YEAR of regular playing time. Probably should do the same for Matt Morrison and Tyler Lange. Heck, let's kick anyone off the team who misses a shot. That would be a great way to build a team.

    As I've said before and you obviously fail to comprehend. A TEAM needs more than just starters and superstars. It needs bench players and role players and practice players. It needs managers and trainers and coaches and on and on (but not necessarily a pep band). All have to work together to be a success and ALL contribute to that success. The fact that you don't believe that Brian Haak and Joe Green and Adam Rodenberg did anything to contribute to the success of the past few teams shows how much you know about teamwork.

    Thank God YOU are not running OUR program.

      Stephen Jones: late signing in the Koch/Eglseder class due to Santos leaving. Was going to Ball State and then backed out after their coach left.
      Atila Santos: D2 All-American...played for Mac, left before Jake coached his first game. Continues to play professionally.
      Matt Culliver: would have been a good one...had some baggage that prevented him from playing
      Drew Lundberg: never wasted a scholarship on him. He was a walk-on 4-for-5 and saw the writing on the wall after his true freshman year.
      The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

        wtf??? i am not an idiot and i realize what positions these guys played...im just saying that sometimes kids dont pan out. i highly doubt that jake planned on pehl ever starting. thats fine. a lot of kids dont pan out.

        you are missing the point, which is that pehl is not currently a quality mvc player, much less a starter on a championship team. it does mean he cant improve. he doesnt mean hes a bad kid. it doesnt mean i hate UNI.

        evidently it DOES mean that i am not allowed to make tongue in cheek comments that poke fun at one of our precious players who evidently are now beyond criticism from the general public. chill the **** out.

            totally off topic but some of these names brought back memories. I was Santos' RA back in the day at UNI. Decent blocker but seemed to be out of place a lot and not a great offensive player. I found the following video from his time at Minnesota State. I'm never knew he ended up being such a force there. Glad it ended up good for him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8wparpkidg

              Haven't seen this posted on the board yet, but the reason no one saw Johnny there is because he had surgery on his shoulder this summer.
