It's good to see that what is apparently going to be a weakness this year--quality depth on the interior--should be a big strength next year. With Boese, Langen, Kimbrough and Ledger rotating inside, that's potentially as much quality depth as I can recall. I would say that players like Glynn and Draayer had better elevate their play this season or they may not get much p.t. next year.
Does anybody know what the deal is with Sannes? Still injured? She was a pretty heralded recruit a couple years ago, although I know she had a very bad knee injury as a sr. in high school. I know it's still quite early, but among the recruiting class of two years ago--Jahner, Sannes, Draayer, Maffin and Werdell--only Jahner has clearly shown that she can play at a high level. I wouldn't think Roebuck would give scholarships to players from states without reciprocity very often due to the higher expense and the fact that there are so many good players in Minnesota, so you would think Maffin (from Iowa) and Werdell (from Illinois) were thought to be potential impact players.

I agree that Kimbrough and Ledger will be a great asset to the UND team however in Draayer and Maffin defense both were injured ealy season last year and Maffin is still playing with an injured ankle. Let's wait and see what Kimbrouh and Ledger can bring to this level play. Giving her the status of saving UND this early is unrealistic. I don't think coach would have given scholarships to any player ( including Sannes) who didn't deserve it. Don't write these girls off quite so quickly simply because they are from different states. They may be very helpful in making this team the number one team they have the potential to be this year.
