The activity in Nebraska continues with another offer:
PF Mike Daum, 6'9, Kimball Has offers from USD, WY, Lehigh, UNC, ID St, UNO, SDSU, Air Force & Hartford
Kimball is a very small town in the panhandle but it appears this kid has real talent. His mom is a WY grad!
I live 1,800+ miles from GF so don't get up there too often. From reading the Herald daily and from other sources, it appears the GF economy is doing well. A couple of questions about Columbia Mall:
- Is Scheels still planning to move into the mall or has that already happened? Does anyone know why they waited a year or two before making the move?
- How is the mall doing otherwise? With a good economy and a lot of Canadian traffic, you would think it would be doing well. Are there many/any open store fronts?
I agree - there were some implications that the coaching and focus could have been better last year. But the past is the past and, hopefully, we will see a major improvement in the defense this fall.
New offer:
SF Mitchell Hahn, 6'7”, 195, Fremont (Fremont), NE
Showing some interest in:
SF Tre'Shawn Thurman, 6'6”,190, Omaha (Central), NE Has offers from Utah St & Fairfield
Do we know if these guys are planning to attend UND this fall and regain eligibility or if they are history? I hate to lose Kono.. but I would not be surprised Fletcher would transfer where he find some game time.
I hope that is correct. He is listed as a "loss" under DL summary. But now I see that he is also listed as a returnee. It would appear he is back. Good news - I think he can be a good player for us.
The fall Media Day guide includes the roster - Robertson is not listed. At a glance, I don't see any other "no-shows" - will check closer a little later....

Disappointed to see that Mike Edwards isn't back. Taylor Grant is also not back.
I watched it as well but didn't get the impression that the Gophers were coming to GF. I assumed all three games would be in the Cities. I certainly hope you are correct.
Two verbals by offerees:
LB Roderick Winters, 5'11", 195, 4.5, Arlington (Bowie), TX (2 Star - Rivals) Verbal to MO
OL Zach Novoselsky, 6'5", 285, 5.2, Lincolnshire (Stevenson), IL (2 Star - Rivals) Verbal to W MI
He is from Hollywood, FL but playing teams out West may be a carrot for him as he has been out there for a couple of years. He considered going to NDSSC prior to opting for Santa Rosa JC.
