I am questioning how much Sather had in recruiting him. Sounds like he is coming here because his uncle was a star at UND.
If for some reason he doesn’t pan out Sather will get the blame so I’m willing to give credit for getting him here.
I watched one of his games a few weeks ago and my gosh he is a good player. -

UND has below average team. NDSU has above average team. Game played in Fargo. Result: as expected, NDSU wins by double digits.
State of the program: HC Sather has been underwhelming at UND. Not successful hire thus far. Big picture, How does UND Basketball succeed in the shadow of UND ice puck? Obviously, Chaves doesn’t have the answer. Again, like Sather, Chaves has been an underwhelming hire also.
Retention of talent. UND basketball and hockey can exist at the same time and is a poor excuse for the state of the roster. If Sather was able to hang on to even one of the two players that left last year and wasn’t a grad transfer this team looks different. If he is unable to retain the young talent on the team this year I will begin to wonder.

Bruns is good
Possibly the best player in the court first half?? Him or Nelson. Good young talent.

UND will either keep it close due to shooting the 3 well or get blown out by 30 because we don’t. NDSU has really built a nice team and will make it difficult for us with their length. Hoping for the best but will drink a few before going to the SHAC tonight.

I guess I missed the part where anybody is advocating for an extension?

Willing to bet NDSU and MSU coaches are talking today and tomorrow (and the next) about "assignment sharp" and "head in the game" (false starts, etc) to their teams.
Willing to bet NDSU and MSU coaches are reviewing their game situation plans (clock, play chart) more than once over the next couple weeks.
One man's dead horse is the fundamentals to the guys still playing.
Who would have known that is all it takes to win a National Championship.

Keep beating the !@#$ out of that horse. Not sure it’s dead yet.

What are the odds UND plays a game in December 2022??
I’m planning on it. QB improves, OL improves and I think we try some things to find a WR that fills our current need. I really like our RB room.
Basing it on my opinion that I think the offense is improved and we score more points next year. I also have a bunch of confidence in the offensive staff that they learned from this year and will be better. Lots of young coaches there that will improve.
Defense will be as good.

Best thing about being an overlord is you can't be wrong.
If the player doesn't pan out, blame the coaches for not developing him.If the kid wasn't good to begin with, blame the coaches for recruiting him.
The overlord are NEVER wrong.
And if the kid turns into a player, “it’s about time we recruit that kind of player”.
It’s a lazy position to take.

Is it a binary option? Both would take a lot of work and convincing to achieve, but I think both would be beneficial. Why are you try to make it a competition when neither strategy really affects the other? In regard to your football example, Summit membership wouldn't change.
If he gets both accomplished in the short term great. I just don’t think he will have the bandwidth and think the football solution is more beneficial for the conference. It makes it more difficult for a school to find a FBS home for football only if a Summit football league is formed. My example is based on the Summit providing a home for the sports today and football.

Making it easy for one school to be an affiliate member of an FBS conference for football and have a cost effective solution for their other sports does no favors to the other Summit league members.
Also, the stability of the Summit is the Dakota schools. Lose one of those and the conference is not appealing to anyone. A new commish needs to do what it takes to keep the four together. Football does that before hockey.

Players leaving creates opportunities, so who do you hope or think capitalizes the most on the departures of each of these specific players?
Quinton Sequin
Quinn Urweiler
Caleb Nelson
Sam Robertson
That one RB that left.
RBs and Sammy Fort.
I think the other DEs remaining were going to play a lot anyway.

Didn't Mo State have a bunch of players transfer in for this year? Maybe I'm thinking of a different school, but thought they did. And now they have 12 leaving. I don't foresee the transfer portal being the answer to a schools needs in most cases. Those who live by the transfers, die by the transfers.
Those schools are going to be recruiting at the same time. If the plan is to only stay competitive by transfers, likely doesn’t work long term. If you fill holes with transfers while also developing players (and retaining them) it can be sustainable. Coaches need to change with the new rules laid forth.

could probably leverage this thinking into summit football too.....
Agreed. You want to pull football in another conference as “football only”. Have fun finding a conference for all your non revenue sports.

Have to wonder when these coaches are in contact with these kids.

You are a Bison fan? Fact or not?
I think it was a legitimate statement. The kid is choosing to leave schools, no reason to post any rumors on a website. There are correct avenues to take for those allegations and a fan message board isn’t it.
As a fan I am bummed he’s leaving. No reason to post stuff about a young man on his way out. Most would welcome him back if things changed.

Do you really think Otis was suspended against Drake for being late to one team meeting or what ever was thrown out there? What was the official message anyways? Bubba is clear as mud in his presser.
I’m not real sure. To be honest I can’t recall any college coach that is an open book on any disciplinary action unless it’s something on record. I’m disappointed he’s not on our team but to continue to post either speculation or blame to the coaching staff with no evidence is something I won’t do.

Which other player missed 2 games due to anything other than injury? How about 1?
I would think not missing games when discipline is needed would imply a different set of rules. Maybe I’m missing something.

He was fun to watch and made some great plays for us. I really hope it works out for all these guys when they leave. Plenty of talent to find and on the roster, need to put a good list of needs together and go execute.

Waiting for the Giveth part.
I don’t think we hear any news on this until right before Christmas or right after the start of second semester. I think most transfers will want to find a home before spring ball. Once again there will be many more players out there than spots available.

My early guess is either back at UND or in the southeast US. Not a lot of options out there right now.
