And a coach will sit down in a kids living room, look him and his parents in the eyes, and tell him he has no interest in taking any other jobs... then accept a new job the next day. Integrity, honesty, blah blah blah....

To be fair no one has seen Hurlburt play for 2 years. If I had to guess he could’ve put up some decent numbers at Northern State

All I’ve heard is how much Sam loved UND. That’s truly shocking

Their coach also hit the portal

Not sure if they even play the same position. Woodson looks like a 4 to me. But yes is beefier and can shoot it better. I’d say not the dynamic athlete and can’t handle like BJ could. I think 2 dribbles was the most I seen him take. Still think he’s a good fit and would be shocked if he couldn’t be a productive player at this level.

I was told he picked UND over SDSU. Can’t confirm if true

I will give Sather credit, I like what he’s done with the last couple of classes (still skeptical on the redshirt freshman class though). His first couple of classes had a TON of misses. Maybe he needed to adjust to what he thought would work at the d1 level, maybe it was the state of the program, maybe they were just misses. Whatever it was, he’s done a much better job imo. The in game stuff could still use some work!

This is great for so many reasons

Meanwhile Omaha decides to go after two guys that struggled to get minutes for ndsu. Thats one strategy I suppose

How many scholarships do we have to fill?

He’s a great kid! Happy he’s coming to UND!

Don’t think he’ll ever develop to play on the wing, but definitely offers some ball handling ability to attack other 5s. Tons of potential that is definitely worth a shot. Guards grow on trees, good luck finding quality big guys at this level

Best friends with Treysen. I like our chances!

I wonder if Grant Nelson regrets hitting the transfer portal?

Former UND player Elijah Hazekamp and Minnesota State will being playing in the d2 championship. Elijah has had a pretty good career at the d2 level

Mier was not a McDonald’s All American

Joshua Ola-Joseph hits the portal. See if Treysen and Eli can get their old AAU teammate to come to Grand Forks

I would still go after talented high school kids. Who cares if you get 2 productive years out of BJ Omot or some random junior college kid. I agree with your other points though

Wish they would have cut the Summit League streaming deal instead

I think the bigger question is will any of the redshirt make a difference this year?

Eli will have to take a big step forward if he wants to play PG. Can he make a nice pass within the offense or in transition? Yes. But people also said the same thing about Treysen after his freshman year and we saw how that played out last year. There’s way more to being a PG than making an occasional nice pass

Keep an eye on Utah State

It would be nice to have a lefty that could actually knock down an open shot

Many HM are prioritizing the portal over high school kids. This results in more talented kids at the mid major level.
