UND Fan

Normally the promotion of Sioux-Per Swing golf outings has started by now. At this point, I have not even seen a schedule - have I missed it? I would certainly hope that they aren't being discontinued. It is a great way to create/improve fan interest plus raise some scholarship $! Anyone have any knowledge as to what know what is happening with these golf tourneys?

Per http://www.fargosouthgirlsbasketball.com, Fargo South's Caitlyn Haring will be playing both BB and soccer at UND. She may be getting some scholarship $ for soccer but I assume she is walking on for BB. Who has seen her play? She doesn't score much but has great stats otherwise! Can anyone give us some insight about her talents and the likelihood of her contributing?

You are correct - Rico was not a finalist. I should have pointed that out! I assume the poster was referring to Rico - there wasn't another NSIC coach let go recently, was there?

Rico Burkett at Wayne State.

I hadn't given this too much thought but did a little research on Dillon this morning. We need to hope she doesn't change her mind - it looks like she can be a dandy: 5'11" freshman guard with a lot of skills already!

Please excuse the smart ass remark from one of our posters. We really appreciate the information - keep it coming!

I am quite sure UND (along with USD and SDSU) offered Wolters during the early signing period. He decided to wait until spring to make a decision. I assume we withdrew our offer after we signed the Schuler kid out of Ohio (similar players). It is interesting to note that I have never seen Wolteers listed as any taller than 6'3" but Hallstrom has him at 6'4 1/2" and the Forum's Schnepf says he's 6'5".

I was curious about Jones' comment that there were three other players on the roster who play the point!

In looking at the spring roster, it appears that we lost a few kids (probably fewer than normal) from last year's team. Most notably: Brandon Dungy Sr RB Mark Kubacki So LB Filipe Fonseca da Silva Fr LB Chris Schaan Fr LB I am not sure any of them are major losses but a couple of the LBs were highly thought of when they were recruited.

I had hoped that we would have learned by now that the center from Lake Region (or some other talented recruit) had signed with us. Anyone know if an announcement is forthcoming?

Unless someone has decided that they will not return next year, there is no $ available. At this point, I think everyone is coming back.

Per Wisconsin Preps, we are among many schools who have offered 6'11" power forward, Ben Mills, of Hartland Arrowhead. I agree that point guard is a priority but we also really need more size in the middle. It appears that Wilmer will be a contributor but we need 2-3 horses underneath. I wonder what our chances of landing McDermott are. He apparently is the real deal. It would be great to get an early commitment as a great senior season might result in some of the "bigs" going after him!

You are probably correct that he was asking about Chappel. I may be wrong (I hope that I am ) but it is my understanding that he will not return.

He is suspended for "academic reasons" I get the impression that there is a good chance he will be back but the staff will be taking a close look at others in case he doesn't return!

You, as well as everyone in the Red River Valley, have a bunch of prayers being generated for you from Florida! Hang in there!

Grow up! Now is not the time for any of this crap!!! (This wasn't directed at you, Siouxmama!)

UND won the first of 2 at Wisconsin today, 4-2. The second game is 2-2 in the 6th. Listening to it on Badger website.

Understandably, SU has delayed the start of their spring practice due to the flood. When does UND's spring ball begin? Do we know if anyone has left the program (or joined) since the start of the second semester?

I am somewhat surprised that NDSU over the last 2-3 years wasn't able to convince a good big man and/or power forward to join this very talented group of players. With some inside strength and offense, they would have really been good. Moorman, coming off the bench, could have been very effective! SU fans - don't get excited, my comments were not meant to negative - just an observation! You should be very proud!

NDSU, their fans and the State of North Dakota should be very proud of the Bison's performance today! Believe me, that is diffficult for me to admit but it is fact!

I believe you are correct. My thoughts are that someone is either leaving the program or potentially losing their scholarship!

I know it has been said that every player on the current roster has a full scholarship but I find it difficult to believe that everyone would still be on a full-ride next year. Hopefully, they will all turn out to be DI players but I have my doubts!

It was noted under Future Recruit that Shyla Kuehl had a very good senior season. Another girl that will likely be relied on a great deal next year is Brittany Peterson from Spencer, IA. The 5'10" guard was first team All-State in Iowa's second largest division. She averaged 19 points/game, about 90% on FTs, over 600 career assists. Her team lost by one point in the first game of the 3A tourney and finished the season at 21-4. It appears that she is very talented! Of course, Nicole Smart's season is still going. Ada-Borup is hoping for a second straight state champiosnhip. Smart is averaging 20+ points - I would think she will be an asset for us in the future as well. I don't know much about Rothfusz or Houdek - hopefully, they will also be contributors.

Shyla Kuehl, from Hustisford, is 6'3" and was just named to the WS Division 4 All-State team. Her team lost in the semi's of the Regional and finished at 17-6. Five of those losses were by three points or less. Division 4 is the smallest school classification but she appearently is the real deal - lots of very positive press about her. She averaged 16 points and 12 rebounds despite double and triple coverage all year. She is also a talented soccer player so she must be a good athlete.

What kind of attendance is the Force drawing?
