I agree with the above-I expect a 500 team next year and a good shot at hosting a first round playoff series. I do thing that Ward, Walsh, Brewer, Cain, Gerbtandt, Jubinville, Mattson, and Prap make a good core. I have high hopes for Harms from Fargo being an impact freshman and Illo having a big senior year. I would predict the Beavs playing for the top of the conference in 2 years.
