New offer:
C Robert Jones, 6'9“, Prior Lake (Prior Lake), MN Jones has grown a lot in the last couple of years - played guard until then so he probably has very good ball handling skills.
Not sure if he is getting $. It appears he had committed to Augsburg but must not have signed a NLI - unless they released him. He averaged 13.5 for Lakeville North - playing with UW recruit Nathan Reuvers.
We have offered Hedstrom.
C Joe Hedstrom, 6'10", 200, Minnetonka (Hopkins), MN Has offers from NDSU, USD, Loyola Marymount, Hofstra, Cleveland St & Denver
I hope everyone shows up - we sure don't need any last-minute no-shows!
As school hasn't started and these kids aren't in summer school, do they need to pay for their room/board until September?
Veargis has verballed to GA St. I guess we had offered him but this has been a weird situation from the start. He supposedly had 10+ offers including AZ, ASU, Cal, VA Tech, UNC, NC St, etc. Why he would opt for GA St is beyond me!
For any of us who have been involved with the UND men's basketball program, longtime admin assistant Thelma Abbott is retiring today. She is a great lady who has serviced the department well for many years. If you care to send her a note, please do so before 4:00 this afternoon.
