ALL Conference

Re: ALL Conference

This whole thread has taken a wierd turn. A USD fan, tries to make a joke and all of a sudden we are talking about who is going to leave like it is going to happen. I don't think anyone is going anywhere.

Go State!

Re: ALL Conference

I think the team would take a much bigger hit than you think Jackguy if Seiler left. I think she is somewhat the sparkplug of the team. She leads the team in assists( fifth in the conference) in steals (fourth in the conf.) and she is eighth in the conference in assist to turnover ratio. She doesn't even lead the team in turnovers (Vogel has about 10 more on the season) even though she handles the ball a majority of the time. Plus she plays her tail off on defense everynight. To me, she is all we could want as a point guard. ;D

Re: ALL Conference

In a collegian article about athletes relationships they stated Sieler was dating a guy who attends USD. I for one would not be that dissapointed if she left. She might play good defense but she was a real liability on the offensive end with a lot of unforced turnovers. I was more impressed with her as a freshman. I also wouldn't be surprised if AJ went to Mankato. If he is comfortable with coaching at the DII level it would be a good up and coming program with one of the best facilities in DII and in the middle of a recruiting hotbed. In terms of Vogel I would be very suprised if she transferred to another DII school. She has DI talent and knew coming in that SDSU could make the move. The only thing that could maybe change her mind was if the NCC was such an enjoyable experience that she wants to remain in the conference and play the majority of games near her home of St. Peter.

Re: ALL Conference

Any truth to the rumor that Vogel will follow the good example of Koupal and transfer to the U.

Great example, leave and miss out on being a National Champion. Nice move Koupal, you have to wonder if that decision keeps her up at night. ;D

Go State! 2003 NCAA National Champions!

Re: ALL Conference

I agree with you 100% TJF. The pipeline from Huron to Brookings continues next year. If there were some truth to it that pipeline would be heading south to the U. Like I said, they are just rumors I hear while living in the armpit of SD :'(. Like you said, wishful thinking.

Re: ALL Conference

I think those rumors are insane, AJ to Minn St? what kind of a upgrade/promotion would that be. We do need to worry about keeping AJ in the future, but if we loose him it will be to a major program (Big 12, Big 10, MVC,SEC, etc...) As far as Heather transferring... doubtful, We have another Huron recruit coming in and she has been a team leader the past two years and gets a lot of props/praise in Brookings. I think these rumors are more wishful thinking by our enemies than factual. Thats my take on this subject.

Re: ALL Conference

Thanks md for the update. I forgot about Quigley from St. Cloud. I still believe Vogel is head and shoulders above her as far as talent. Maybe I'm a little biased. Too many good players on the Rabbits for Vogel to rack up personal stats. Don't get me wrong Quiqley deserves it with those numbers. Jackrabbit1979, a few rumors I've heard down here is Sieler is headed to either USD or Mankato and AJ is skipping town and heading for Mankato. Haven't heard anything about Vogel heading the the u. Just rumors though.

Re: ALL Conference

Hello fello Rabbit fans! I am excited about the board and am a die hard Jacks fan. I have a question.

You guys are talking about freshman of the year. Didn't Pater win it also. Or was that the same year that Mandy "the nose" Koupal was here?

Go Jacks!

Re: ALL Conference

I think the coyote fan is just "trying" to be funny. Vogel isnt going to usd. Why would she? When Koupal graduates so do any hopes the yotes have of a winning season. Vogel went to SDSU to play at a D1 school, U of Minnesota recruited her heavily. Koupal could have had a championship ring last year and quite possibly this year-looks like a pretty bad decision on her part

[Rabbitlivinginverm]

Re: ALL Conference

Didn't Sherri Brende take home freshman of the year honors the year before Koupal?

Re: ALL Conference

Mandy Koupal is a great player. Probably the best I've seen at the DII level. But, we did fine without her. I'm glad she is happy at USD. Her records will be around for awhile and then someone else will come along and break them.

As for Vogel, she won't go to USD. She doesn't have a Stacy Schooley (Mandy's best friend) hammering on her every day to go to USD. And of course there is that slippery Chad Lavin peering out of the shadows...you've got to watch out for him.

[jackrabbit1979]

Re: ALL Conference

And you say Koupals "good example", even though Koupal publically says its the best decision she ever made, i would be hard pressed to say that she wouldn't trade her player of the year for our national championship. and if she wouldn't she is probably playing the wrong sport. its a team game.

Re: ALL Conference

i haven't heard any truth to that rumor go yotes, but i bet you would be salivating over the idea. I doubt it is true being Megan knew she was being recruited to a D1 program in the first place. But who knows, andybody else herad anything. How about you RabbitinVerm, any rumors you can relay from the armpit of SD. I would say Vogel has a better chance than the gal from St. Cloud, even though her numbers weren't quite as good, she wasn't the offensive focal point of the rabbits, like the girl was in St. Cloud. But who knows.
