Newbie (1/14)

  1. For the record, every Asst. that just quit was hired by Brewster, not Roebuck. Not sure how hiring a high school coach w/2 years of experience and another who was at Minn.-Crookston makes us better either. This is Brew's mess, not Roebucks.
  2. Seriously? We couldn't keep up with Yale yesterday so how are we the most talented team on the planet? We have 2 goalies that no one trusts.............that does not equal talent.
  3. There may be no difficult transition than moving from Asst. to Head coach in the same program. The head coach makes ALL the hard decisions while the asst. get to be the "good guy", the one everybody runs to when the head coach is too tough, mean, crabby, etc. Brew will learn with time to be himself, asshole or not, he'll learn to be himself. Secondly, if you think a team of Jenny Crouse, Katie Richards, Tiff/Jamie Pudenz, Kamie Winger, and all the others that existed on the run of titles would be a .500 team in the Big Sky, you couldn't be more wrong. Those teams would have won the Big Sky and possibly won a game in the tournament. SDSU has done it in the last 5 years and those UND teams were every bit as good as anything SDSU has had lately. Hard to take a person serious when you make that kind of a comment. Houdek, Evers, Smart, Buck, either Gilette, Frydenlund, Siri, Roehrich, etc. NEVER had multiple DI offers. No way, no how. Bottom line is UND had to fill their roster when they were in transition and the easiest way to do that was to get area kids. No true DI players were coming to a school with no conference, no playoff hopes, and no chance to play for championships. Now, we'll see. You have a conference, you get an automatic bid if you win, and you've filled your staff with assts. to know Minn, Iowa, and other states to recruit from. Time will tell how good we'll be. There will never be another national title banner to hang in the rafters. Appreciate what we did in DII. It won't happen again.
  4. The difference in this turnover however is that the replacement not only helped in recruiting these players, he was a leader in recruiting these players. Buck and Brewster worked together on recruiting. Buck knew he was leaving and gave Brew a big piece of who he wanted on his bench. I guarantee Mills and Williams were hand-picked by Brewster not Buck
  5. Don't disagree with anything said here. I will put Brew on the hotseat though as he and Buck recruited these players. Head coaches rely heavily on their asst. coaches for evaluations of players. Brew spent more time on the road than Buck the last 3-4 years so these are his players too.
  6. We would NOT beat Mankato or Augie right now with the players we have in the program. U Mary is good but sr. dominated and their coach is in his first year after many years as the asst. They do well in Wisc. for recruiting as well as ND. Con.-St. Paul also a solid program but they pick up some DI transfers who come back to MN after failed efforts. Wouldn't be surprised if 1 or both who just left program end up there. EGF girl who left gets about 13 min/night at Jamestown right now if that means anything regarding our recruiting lately.
  7. All good thoughts and ideas. The bottom line, neither of these guards were DI talent. Athletic, yes, bball players?, no. The idea that these 2 scholarships are of any value this spring is a bit naive. The best are committed and gone. Very few "good" players wait til their season is completed anymore before picking a school. I'd use the scholarships in the fall for class of 2014 athletes rather than spend them now on talent that there is already too much of in this program. Facts are facts, this team is 2nd to last in the Big Sky, handles the ball over like its on fire, and these 2 guards were part of the problem not the solution. The days of playing for championships like the 90's and early in this century are a long way off. Brewster helped bring these kids in when we was the first Asst., now he's gotta fix the mess.
  8. As Bill Parcells once said, "At this point in the season, you are who you are." This program has had poor guard play for a few years now and it is simply due to recruiting kids that are not DI players. NDSU is guilty of the same thing. When we start recruiting kids who can play in the Big Sky, we'll compete, but until we do, this is what it is.
  9. How can we not have DI talent when we've been DI for 5 freakin years?!!!! What we're we waiting for?
  10. Our guard play is very poor right now. Most are sophs. I believe but Williams, Smart got enough minutes last year that we know what they can and can't do. Other than Smart, none stretch defenses by making 3's. Post players have little room to move when teams sag to them. The TO thing is ridiculous though. 32 in a college bball game? Terrible.
  11. Don't think Houdek ever ave. 20+ a game. Also don't think her class at Grafton ever made a state tournament. Totally agree, we need talent, not area talent, just talent!!!!!
  12. This may be the least talented UND team we've seen since the mid-80's, before Buck came along. I know Wall has been hurt but is really gonna make that big a difference? In theory, right now, our best player is from Ada, Mn. I know she's a great kid and a hard worker but we need players and we need to recruit metro areas where there is a population base to find players. So far the Mpls. guards we've recruited can't play DI bball. Too many TO's and they can't shoot a lick. Season is early, can't panic, but wow.
  13. Some of the conference games will be worth looking into tickets. The non-conference schedule at home is embarrassing. Crown College and Presentation? Are you freakin kidding me!!!!! If I had DII season tickets and those were two of my home games I'd be pissed. Those games are totally unacceptable and better not ever happen again!!!
