@ArmyWP_MLax Offense very sloppy - seems they throw the ball away every other possession. Also, does Army have any attack man or offensive midfielder- besides Evan Plunkett and Mike Harney - who can use their off hand?

[Cons @CaptainCons]

someone asked me last weekend, "How does Army Football compete with NIL since they can't offer it?"

my response? "We don't have to honestly."

Let me explain

-average NIL deal is ~$40K with 50% of guys making less than $1K - West Point (the Army) pays you a stipend that is ~$60K per year
-breaking down bigger NIL deals (taxes, agent, family) and that one time payment dwindles fast
-path to NFL - considering only 1% of cfb players make it to the NFL and average career is under 3 years, that's not a safe bet for a living even at a P5. Plus, if you're good enough, you can go to the NFL from West Point (multiple Army Football players have Super Bowl rings now)
-value of West Point degree - average starting salary after 5 years of service is ~$125K. With a MBA ~$175K. With 20 years of service ~$300K.
-average career earnings of West Point grad is ~$5-$10 million. Many far exceed that
-money aside, you develop a skillset that is not offered anywhere else and makes you a valuable commodity
-not to mention we play a great brand of football all over the country that is competitive at the highest levels
-I almost forgot! The Cow Loan at Army which is now up to $35K

I keep company with multi-millionares, CEOs, business owners, military leaders, and titans of industry that you see on your TV every day. That isn't bragging, it's a statement of fact. I wouldn't have this circle without West Point.

The question becomes, "Do you want a nice check and a cushy life for a few years or do you want to set yourself up for the rest of your life?"

It is a slightly harder question at 18-22yo but I think the choice is clear.

@NYRLouie If these come true, the Rangers are lottery team next season…

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@nyrcar_fireball @NYRLouie Top 5? Take a look around the league and you will be shocked to see how many are better than him?

Congrats to @Bryson13Daily on receiving the National College Quarterback of the Year Award at the National Quarterback Club dinner on Friday night 👏👏👏

@kostpmp @StatBoy_Steven All Borgen has to do is play the puck in deep…Don’t try to blame it on Miller…

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@StatBoy_Steven Chytl made mistake of standing up at blue line and didn’t take puck or man and Smith was caught watching…but, yea, it’s Miller’s fault…Yup, you know the game🤣

[Black Knight Nation @BKKnightNation]

Army senior Lucas Scott named offensive lineman of the year by @CFN365

Scott also earned tackle of the year & first-team all-American honors

Army named OFFENSIVE LINE OF THE YEAR

Tackle Connor Finucane second-team all-American

Center Brady Small third-team all-American

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@vzmercogliano Chris Kreider this season has 4 even strength goals - those being his only even strength this year…At 6’3” and 230 pounds, he plays much lighter and smaller - how often do you see him come out of the corner with the puck? Is he that soft or doesn’t he care?

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@ArmyBarstool Not after watching his decision to not pressure the ball or pick up full court with five seconds left in regulation against Marist…Poor coaching in that situation probably cost them the game.

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@RockySbn @ArmyBarstool And Tulane has how many?

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@salinterdonato And then they did not start the clock after the measurement which saved ND their last time out.

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@TeaPainUSA If it’s 11:09 pm, why isn’t it dark? Seems like it was taken in daylight…

[Ken Kostik @KenKostik]

@TMKSonYES @TMKSESPN @NYRangers @DaveMaloneyMSG Maloney wears his heart on his sleeve…No problem here….And Rosen did not know immediately that Panarin had deflected the puck in-he had to wait a few seconds.

[Paul Carcaterra @paulcarcaterra]

Army will be VERY dangerous in 2024!
-Top 12 scorers from a year ago returning.
-Evan Plunkett...nation's best freshman middie in '23 will be even better! 1st Team AA potential.
-Coletti is one of the top face off specialists.
-Alberici and Georgalas roll out a top 10 defense every year.
-Toughness and fitness a given!

@vzmercogliano And what would you do with Othmann? The kid deserves the first look this coming season…

[Vince Z. Mercogliano @vzmercogliano]

Toffoli would have been an ideal target to fill the RW hole for #NYR, but fitting his $4.25M cap hit would have been virtually impossible.

Instead, their playoff nemesis gets even stronger.
