Would they owe any money to Mal if she resigned? I know her contract isnt as big as football and hockey.

This can all be blamed on our incompetent Athletic Director. He has almost destroyed every sport since he has been here. He had no reason at all hiring Mal after she won 2 games her first season. She completely destroyed the culture of womens basketball at the University so much that 8 of her own players just went into the portal. Granted most of them probably should not be playing, but there were a few that we could built off of. The next to go should be CHAVES!!

The forum had the coach from minot as a front runner

At this point they just need to implode the team and start over. Now i hope a few more leave to open up scholarships

That one hurt

This one won't hurt us. Very inconsistent. The portal will have better. Only 3 I'd say would hurt but if they all transfer he can get who he wants. Remember these all are Mals recruits. I believe Hutter made some of these players better

Tom Miller just posted on X about quite a few players going into the portal and if Hutter can convince them to stay. Only ones I want to stay are Josie, ibrahim and Demers.

All i know is that I said Hutter was hired to replace Mal and it needed to happen ! Only player id be upset about is Josie leaving. Let Hutter get his own girls. See what he can do with his own recruits

Alot of conflicting stories here !? Are they leaving because Mal is gone or because she was there 🤔

I was watching the game when cooper got hurt and they couldn't even show any of it because it was so graphic. Hopefully she is just recovering and will still be on the roster because she had alot of potential.

I think we will have a better chance keeping her since she is from Winnipeg. I really hope we can keep her. I hope Mal can finally use the portal and help this team out.

Drake hired a D2 coach who brought over a bunch of D2 players and is now in the NCAA tournament. Some talking they could upset the first round. If you hire the right coach they make this portal thing work or they can cry that everything is against them. At UND we dont like to hold people accountable for the jobs they do and if they fail we just move them to an alumni job. Not at all how any other major university works.

I wish Woodson well but I think he was a disappointment for me this year. Only guys I hope we keep at this point are Eli, Mara and Kraft. Let's see what the coaches can bring in! I'm starting to kind of like this portal stuff now !

Another post on X about Summit League Football. I still think something is up and could be exciting news. I must be the only interested lol

Because it's a done deal ?

Didn't you say last time it was a done deal ?

NDSU does seem to get alot of those 6'10" type guys to go there.

In case anyone doesnt want to listen to the whole thing. He starts talking about the Summit league at 5:45. I do think he has some inside information. We all know Fenton has wanted to do something. I will be disappointed if it would be just the two weaker Utah Schools. The two Texas school and Utah Valley would be a good grab.

Thats what I was thinking and I think that would be massive news. Hopefully Fenton has been working harder behind the scenes then what we think. I guess we will see.

Did you even watch it ? Doesn't even talk about southern Utah or Utah tech. It said possibly Utah valley. Sorry nothing about Auggie. I think he maybe talking about the Texas schools. Supposedly Utah tech already applied for the big sky

Just found this video on YouTube. Not sure if this guy knows anything, but says there could be big news coming from the summit league. Called it massive news

I've totally changed my outlook on the portal. Not about what we are losing but what we could possibly get! Only wish we had a coach i felt confident in that could nail it.... Sather has had alot of misses in his recruiting. I wouldn't mind adding a few power 4 players that are dropping down to add some experience with high level high school players

At the rate Chaves is continuing we will have a arena full @iramurphy white haired people happily clapping and cheering at our team down 30. Just happy they gave it the good old college try. Talking how nice our coaches are in the community. If this is the draw our administration wants it will slowly kill sports at the university. I have already seen a decline at the basketball games since I moved here. I use to love going to them. It was loud, maybe a little rowdy and alot of fun. This year was the least amount of games I have ever went to. That being said I am pumped again about und football and that started by making one change ! Let's do it for basketball.

Do you think then that we need to expand? If so who do we have a chance of bringing over that can elevate the Summit League? I am not overly excited about the Utah schools, but I also feel that we need to add some stronger D1 schools. Absolutely no more D2 teams from the Dakota's or Minnesota though.

Anyone have a guess how long we will have to wait for Chaves to make a decision about our coaches ?
