We need to give Mallory our full support. I wouldn’t be surprised if does well. She had everything go wrong for her this year: - No opportunity to work with the girls over the summer. - Only one available scholarship which she had to use on a point guard without the ability to meet her in person. Many coaches were faced with this challenge but most didn’t just get the job. - Mallory certainly had a hand in recruiting the current roster but I can assure you that the roster would have been different had she been the head coach the prior couple of years. - Players came to fall camp hurt or not ready to contribute. - COVID and injuries resulted in often not having 10 players for practice and a few games with us having only 8 players. - We didn’t have the opportunity to play some weaker teams early which would have allowed us to gain some confidence and have the opportunity to try different player combinations, different defenses and offensive schemes. - More injuries including our only real PG being out for the season. - Inability to win some early season games that were winnable. Maybe some of that was coaching but I think it was simply other teams having better talent and our ladies just “not knowing how to win”. The decision has been made and I wouldn’t be overly surprised if 2-3 years from now we don’t all agree that it was a good decision!

I had guessed that you were right but I was wrong!!

I would guess that you are right!

Considered by some as the best RB in MN. Has offers from CMU, EMU, UNI & USD

He is Noah's younger brother. Must be a smart kid - has offers from Dartmouth, Penn, Columbia, etc. Also a pretty good hockey player! The brother and UND being a hockey school may sure help in our recruiting him!

UND 45 WIU 20

Very good point!!

Those of us who helped purchase new jackets for the FB team may see them this weekend. The team is taking them to Macomb. The high there is to be 54 on Saturday so they may choose to be "tough" and not use them.

Update on the committed recruits: Paul Bruns (6'4" G) is averaging over 28 ppg and an incredible 12.6 rpg. Shooting 50% from the field, 41% from the 3 and 87% at the line. Dakota Valley is 20-2 and playing Sisseton tonight in the state tourney. Isaac, Paul's brother is a 6'3" so. guard averaging 24 ppg. He may end up being the best of the brothers! Grant Reid (6'3" G) is averaging over 14 ppg along with 4 apg. He is shooting 51% from the 3. Johnstown is 10-4 and will play in the IA state tourney. Gavin McGrath (6'11" C) is averaging over 13 ppg, 7 rpg and 2.5 bpg. He is shooting over 65% from the field and even shoots a few 3's (43%). At only 200 lbs, he will need to put on a bunch of weight but he must be pretty coordinated as he only has 29 pf in the 19 games. He is rated the #13 top recruit in WI. Onalaska (19-0) will play in the state tourney. FB player CJ Siegel was instrumental in McGrath's choosing to attend UND.

Treysen is a 6’5” G/F at Bismarck High, averaging 20+ ppg. He said Bob Eaglestaff was his uncle. Bob graduated in 1976 so you would think he would have been Bob’s grandson, not nephew. Maybe Bob’s brother was 20 years younger than Bob.

You called it!!

You jinxed him!!

Not a catch normally made by a true freshman!!

Agree - we were fortunate.

UND 38 USD 31

I would think that he would near the top of the list!!

I am sure that many have seen the picture of four guys from Moorhead at the SDSU game. One was Feeney, who were the others? I hope Altepeter and Teiken!!

I would guess in the 6-9 range.

There has been no mention (in Herald or otherwise) that Craig Orlando and Elijah Beach were both out with injuries last week. Both are expected to provide good DL depth. Anyone know if they are playing today?

Leet plans to return and continue her music education but the new coach may have other ideas.

Please read the following: Division I individual institutions can have a maximum of 13 scholarships for men’s basketball and 15 for women’s basketball. The NCAA considers basketball a head-count sport, and this means that the scholarship number is absolute. In a sport that is not considered a head-count sport, the allowable amount for scholarships can be divided among several players. Instead of 15 full scholarships, an institution could award 30 partial scholarships. This means that UND men's program cannot provide scholarships to more than 13 players during a school year. If there are more than 13 players on a roster, they are walk-ons. At times, players are "promised" a scholarship their second year with a team if they make satisfactory progress during their freshman year. An example would be Danielson - he walked on last year and earned a scholarship this year. FCS football not a head count sport - a maximum of 85 players can share the equivalent of 63 scholarships. My comments about Panoam (for example) coming back was not worded correctly. He would not count towards the scholarship limit from the NCAA. However, with the significant loss of athletic profits due to the pandemic, there will be very few smaller DI programs that will have the ability to fund any scholarships above the normal allotment. Like most schools, UND is trying its best to simply maintain the same athletic budget as last year.

You continue to expound about a lot of things - you are often wrong as is the case here. DI Men's BB is limited to 13 schollies! The Women have 15. And, if Panoam would come back, he would be counted!

Who was he talking to?

That was a great throw under pressure!!
