What can you say, really. This kid deserves so much more credit than he has received. As Nagy said, everyone looked scared at the start of this game except Schantz. He defended Tommie King as well as anyone will all year and on top of that he went 8-10 from the field for 21 points and kept us in the game for the first 15 minutes. He deserves the NCC player of the week honors regardless of tomorrows game.
I think he, along with Moeller and Richardson, will step-up and lead these talented freshman and veteran role players (DeJong, Gass, Cerveny) to the NCC, North Central, and National championships. Nagy should and (I suspect) will use this game to encourage Schantz to do just that. If Matt Jones comes back they just might want to petition DI to allow them to play in the NCAA DI tournament.
There can be no doubt that this university has the talent and resources to compete, right now, at the DI level. Way to go Jackrabbits, 17-0, 27 straight at home, and another demonstration of the irrelevance of USD.
