SD UND

So the Summit leagues main sport.. which is wbb and mbb.. should forfeit a guaranteed every year 50K-70K ticketed fans at their tourney so that ORU and WIU can host a conference tourney game on their home court? Plus.. Summit League headquarters are in SF. It's not leaving Sioux Falls for the foreseeable future.

The big 10 plays at the United Center in Chicago...

Every school would feel the financial impact of not having the tourney in Sioux Falls.

https://gogpac.com/ It's a digital recruiting company based out of Sioux Falls. I guess they got 5 teams into the tournament. Impressive!

Good luck and thank you for recruiting for the men's basketball team, I'm sure they appreciate it.

He's not in school anymore. He is back home in Chaska.

Providing context to those #'s.. I'm not surprised at all those numbers rate Brady as a bad defender... my argument is that every teams "best defender" is most likely rated poor or below average on most occasions. I don't think that's hard to understand.. .they are drawing the best offensive player on a night to night basis for 80% of their possessions.

So a differece of .05 PPP.. what is the number of total possessions for each player?

Ok now look at Mason Archambault's rating, Matt mims rating and whoever other "top defender" on teams and what does that say?

Love synergy, but..... defensive data on that program should be taken with a grain of salt.. It is much better suited for offensive statistics and data, IMO. If you're a bad defender and you're matchup is a bad offensive player normally.. your synergy #'s will say "Good" or "excellent" because your primary matchup doesn't do anything offensively... If you are drawing better offensive players on a night to night basis your rating will say "poor" or "average" because those players are more involved. Teams that I've been a part of, our best defenders were always synergy rated "poor or "average" and everyone with a brain or sense would say those guys were our best defender.

I don't disagree with you... if we're talking about upside and potential, yes Brooks has more upside and potential than Brady... Most guys on the team have more upside and potential than Brady.. One of Brady's best gifts is maxing out his talent and potential... if Brooks can do that then yes, UND will have a whale of a player on their hands.

Elijah is not a better offensive player than Brady. Brady has really good feel and a way better passer. Brooks being a better defensive player is debatable at best, IMO. How do you want to play offensive basketball with Jalun, Elijah, BJ (30% from 3) and a non shooter at the 5?

Brooks strength is he has a great ability to finish at the rim and he's a + defender with athleticism and strength... would be great if he wants to stay... IF he wants to leave, then you thank him his service and go find someone else..

he was 2-9 this year from 3 and he's got some major hitches going on... Reality is his ceiling is probably a guy like cortez seales. Tez was 12-53 his sr year after going back and looking at his stats... Sure UND would love to keep Elijah and see if he can get better.. Usually bad shooters are bad shooters and can maybe improve to below average.

Yeah makes it tough to play Brooks and Trent on the floor together... Brooks is able to do his thing more when Eaglestaff is at point. Plus if they get a "rim running" 5 like some have speculated.. that takes both Trent and Brooks off the floor.. can't have 3 guys on the floor that can't shoot a lick.

Never going to happen. All session passes for the whole week are nearly sold out a month in advance. They don't care who it favors... and only the SDSU men are still alive in the Semi's anyways so that argument is null and void. If it goes to campuses then you will get the schools complain that they have to figure out a way to get to Macomb on a Wednesday. No format is perfect.. but this format makes money for the league... Summit league isn't going to move off this format.

I don't think you are going to get your wish for a few more years.

He’s not getting fired.

If you two can’t figure out why people jab at you when the team is playing well then you lack an unbelievable amount of self awareness. Go Hawks!

I believe that to be true, yes.

Will be interested to see what takes place in the 2 weeks following the end of UND's season. Players that are for sure gone: Mitchell Sueker Caleb Nero And I believe Nicholson is no longer in school Players that could come back and use covid year: Brady Danielson- 1 year left Matt Norman- 1 year left T- 1 year left Treysen-SO BJ- SO Elijah- SO Ajahni-SO Mathews- JR Trent- SR Reid- JR Incoming guys: Doppler Erikson Bothun-PWO I believe everyone here would like BJ to stay and any sane person could see that he is at the right level... but the people that have these kids' ear away from the program are not sane... I would be shocked if BJ goes to Minnesota.. while his ppg average is impressive for a freshman.. his percentages are not. And he doesn't have the body for the Big 10. Plus they are going to need impact guys that are ready to go right now. Could a valley school try to scoop him up? Probably... Does he even want to leave?? who knows!!? Matt and T are interesting because normally JUCO sophomores have 2 years and they are out but the covid years throw a new wrinkle into that... Brady could be done or he could play another year... with everything going on with his dad, who knows what he decides to do. Do reid and jahni want to stay and be 9-10 on the roster?? Could they go D2 and play?? I can see 2-3 guys leaving because that is pretty normal attrition that happens to every team... regardless of who that is.. UND probably needs to get JUCO or 4 year transfers to fill that void. I believe they still have 1 open scholly anyways so it will be interesting to see what they do with that.. I assume it's a 4/5 with some athleticism but who knows. Long post, but I'm bored at work.. not sure if any of it makes sense

If BJ is playing the 3 then you can't have a big bruiser 4 man that can't shoot. BJ needs space.. the more people on the floor that can shoot around him makes a big big difference... that's why he will probably play more 4 than 3 going forward.. even though position numbers anymore are obsolete other than maybe the 1 and the 5. 2,3,4 are pretty interchangeable.

Think some people forget about all the little big things he brings to the floor…has done that since he stepped on campus

Really happy for Brady. He is going through a lot off the floor with his father’s situation. great kid and a great family. He deserves every good thing that happens to him
