    Five in Five - What Might That Look Like?

    Another year for Luke Lilledahl as well. Penn State's studs in the lineup for 5 years instead of 4 can only be a good thing from a team perspective.

    Don't think Dake has any interest in coaching until his career is over and as long as he is making national teams, that probably won't be until after the 2028 Olympics.
