So, UNI goes 4 years bewteen tourney apperances exactly 1 time and all of the sudden thats viewed as some sort of stigma and/or ceiling?

Yes.

There was a very unfortunate recruiting incident, and one very unfortunate injury duing that 4 year stretch, otherwise UNI could very well have been looking at 5-6 tourney appearances in the last 7 years.

All teams deal with unfortunate recruiting incidents and injuries.

Every team has an All-American, one of the "all time greats" of the college game back out of his LOI just 2 weeks before showing up for summer classes....Happens all of the time.

Yes, of course they do. There's a lot of luck involved with winning.

Which is why it would be dumb to broadly paint UNI that specific way with regard to one particular 4 year stretch.

We get it. You haven't gotten over it yet. It sucks.

Having a program deep enough with talent to overcome things like injuries and recruiting setbacks, instead of waiting every 3-4 years for the stars to align really only helps to prove my point.

Excuses? Really?

The decision was made by Jacobson and the staff. That's all the evidence I need to know at this was the right decision. Some of you need to buck up and realize that it's still an offseason for 50% of the board, so let them have their silly little digs.

As true as ever, when a question is asked that you know you're going to get burnt on, you deflect and answer questions with other questions.

Yes, clearly that is the ideal strategy and goal for every program.

Jake already has back to back championship seasons on his resume.

If you want to remove objectivity and circumstance from the discussion, then go ahead and evaluate or devalue UNI's program as you wish.

Objectively, that incredible recruiting setback only helped his team to one league championship in 4 years, by one game over a team that circumstantially was plagued by injuries that certainly can be attributed to more than 1 loss.
