Rastas committed to UND today. Solid late addition.

Off court issues

But not everybody did in the party traveling to India. Just one person.

Also, if he is willing to go $7000 over on a airline ticket, it's unlikely he is eating for $10/meal.

If he was only $140 over his allowance he wouldn't have come down with a sudden illness that requires first class treatment.

Big difference between going to Ruth's Chris for supper and spending an additional $7000 for an airline ticket.

That would be great and very beneficial if UND could continue to increase its budget with fewer sports. We are probably giving more opportunities to men and women than we should be.

According to the Sioux Insider guys, LB Jake Rastas of New Berlin Eisenhower (WI) will be visiting UND this weekend. He has a fun highlight tape to watch and seems like he'd be a real solid late addition to the recruiting class.

So it is for FCOA costs

Define "long flight".

I would be more concerned about being up front and honest with your student body that is apparently asking questions about why they need to be tagged again two years later. Their opinion is what matters, not mine. Even the answers you try and give are speculation. You are leading your answers with a lot of "maybe's".

They are trying to explain it. Raising it just because. No one seems to remember that 2 years ago was a five year proposal, except the students. Just an odd coincidence that they suddenly need 1.5 million. The only people who fail to see the coralation are the same that said team makers would chew up the money for FCOA and spit it out while every other "peer" institution was/is struggling with where to get the funds

Does NDSU have the same concern for athletic scholarship opportunities for women? Same concern on getting to where their conference mates are there?

I thought he was a late commit after the December that Bubba was hired.

I believe it would take a lot of summer work if he could at all be elgible. That's without knowing how his fall courses went.

USD won't be a push over. They will be solid next season.

I like the flexibility the team has with different lineups. Can go big with Shanks/Avants at the 5 and Bernstine at the 4 or go small with Bernstine at the 5 and Seales at the 4.

Solid first half. Team defense is really good right now.

All 12 teams (both men's and women's) make the tournament.

From what I have seen so far, there is no team in the conference UND cannot beat. I had doubts early in the year but have been impressed with the improvement they have shown and the effort they play with. I won't write them off come tournament time on a neutral court.

Fun game to watch last night. Of all things I appreciate about this team, the improvement in team defense and effort has been most impressive. Nice work.

UND alum is the current tight end coach at SDSU.

Agree with everything above. If Seales keeps improving this team will be tough. Haven't seen anyone yet that can guard him. He just needs to finish at the rim. Avants and Bernstine are a good combo in the front court.

A commitment from Denver according to Coach Maurice. Would this be Russo?
