UND Fan

This is info I posted about a month ago under 16-17 recruiting. Buchanon is a 6'1" PG, Franken a 6'7" wing and Moody a 6'3", SG. ################################## The three November signings are putting up some impressive numbers thus far this season: Tray Buchanon, United Township HS (22-4) - East Moline, IL Averaging 21 ppg, leading team in assists and steals Garrett Franken, Atlantic HS (12-5) - Atlantic, IA Averaging 24.4 ppg with 9.2 rebounds/game.. Shooting 50% from the floor, 38% on three's Aanen Moody, Dickinson HS (15-1) Averaging 32.5 while leading team in assists and steals Great scoring from these guys (all guards/wings). I don't think we have any scholarships available (right now, at least) but I sure wish we could find a talented big man to bring in for next season.

We appreciate your comments! You have a heck of a team - good luck!

I understand Pres Kennedy wasn't too pleased that we had neither cheerleaders or our bank in Reno.

Cheerleaders are here (talked to a few of them last night) but the band is not. I assume that is because of spring break and the $ needed to get them here. I don't know if I like it but we have hired a local high school band that is to be really good to "make some noise" for us.

Although it appears there is no chance of Franken winning, here is the link to vote for him for Iowa POY: Vote him Iowa's Player of the Year! https://www.prephoops.com/2017/03/iowas-player-year-poll/ … #iahsbkb

I attended this evening's team practice and team dinner. They sure seem excited but relaxed! I don't think they will be intimidated tonight.

We play at USD on Thursday!

The pairings were to be announced at 11:30 EDT but I can't find them yet. I talked to my brother in CO an hour or so ago, he knew when/where CSU was playing but I didn't ask him how he found out.

I meant to include that the UND seats are in Section 17, Rows 1-20 (if we take them all).

I talked to the ticket office at 11:00 this AM. They said they had been very busy but didn't know if they were going to sell UND's full allotment. The pregame info is below, don't know what time it starts yet: Squatters Craft Beer 147 West Broadway (300 South) Salt Lake City, UT 84010

That is too bad - I hope the folks will hang in there at the Betty until the team arrives!

I don't think the actual pairings will be announced until after 6:00.

That is great - is anyone planning to meet the team(s) at the airport?

Congrats to Jones, the staff and team for a great win/season!! I am so happy for Q!!

We are playing very tired - close to react, short on free throws!

Sure looks that way.....

As most of you know, I am not a Jones fan but he deserves to be congratulated on his BSC title and COY honors. I have done so via e-mail.

We sure aren't playing well - nor very smart. Not looking good as time is running down!

I am sure there are more WI invited, just having some challenges getting their names!

Coach Brew has the BSC Coach of the Year award - well-deserved!! Brewster named Big Sky Coach of the Year

You are 100% correct. I have been one of the guilty parties - I will behave!!!

End of conversation - if you have the balls to send me an e-mail, I can provide you with more info. I will now do something that will bring me great joy and I recommend others follow suit. You are now on my "Ignore" list. One last thing - as I have said earlier, you have some good thoughts and I think you truly think that you care about UND and its athletic programs (at times, I am not sure). I don't understand why you purposefully try to continually antagonize other people who also care about UND. People can disagree without the name-calling, belittling, etc. If you act this way in your day-to-day life, I pity those around you and I pity you!

If you care to send my a private e-mail, I will gladly do so.
