Go F'N Hawks. I hope they blow out the Tommie's and their holier than thou facade. They are the most arrogant school in the Summit. They can't go to the Big East soon enough for me.

Not really any surprises. Continued insane growth in Fargo area, continued steady growth in the Bismarck area, then likely oil dependent growth in Williston, Dickinson and Minot. Essentially stagnant in Grand Forks, and stagnant to slow decline in Devils Lake and Jamestown areas.
It shows Cass County population of 194,000 in 2025 and the actual estimates for 2024 show a little over 200,000 already. These 2050 plan may be a bit low the way it looks.

Recruiting even high regarded recruits are still crap shoot unless your big time FBS schools even then many fail to make grade. We from outside don’t Know how these quarterbacks are performing and time effort they are putting in and they have tremendous amount athletic ability but now requires mental ability to understand offenses and defense do it on quick basis. This requires time varies from player to player.Romfo has had to show this because being walk on from small school behind of number of highly recruited players still to be considered shows he has ability to play the position. Second he has had to do this with two different offensive coordinators.Finally Jerry may eventually win this position but many of you forget here is Jerry is still only freshman I don’t see to many freshman playing significant minutes playing time for young quarterbacks is starting when they are sophomores. Trey should have been one getting playing time this year but he chose to leave and find position he would get more playing time this told me he probably going down division to get this and he didn’t think he could be starting quarterback. NDSU quarterback Cam Miller has been exception to this but look he is being considered For NFL again in there recent condition. I would like for us recruit NFL caliber quarterback but we need to reach next level where players of that level would consider coming here. I even think that NDSU may not be able to recruit that level talent now because FCS and FBS have separated because of money flowing to FBS. Even if FCS team does recruit player of that level he will be scooped up by FBS with money they can offer players today.
The problem with this team wasn’t on the offense this year but the defense side we had at beginning of year when everyone was healthy at best average defense. There are number of good defense players but just not enough of them. We need to recruit bigger up front people like we have the offensive side. Second we also need faster and quicker people on backside and outside plus having more depth. The offense needs to improve also with faster and quicker people on receiving end 75% of receiving was dependent on Boe. We also need to have tight ends that can be offensive threat. The change in FBS roster sizes I believe is going to be opportunity for UND to build program through transfers this coming year. Second FCS is basically coming down to Valley and Big Sky conferences. The majority of FCS teams are not going to fund support football to level of these two conferences especially top of both these conferences. The next several years are going to be interesting where all this shakes out.The kid backing up Cam Miller right now, Nathan Hayes, is 6’4, very athletic and has a rocket for an arm(reportedly three the baseball in the low 90’s in high school. You would think UND would find someone like that whe would rather play right away than back up for 3 years before they get a shot.

You nailed it - if USD couldn't get #2 - they got the best possible out come. It is going to come down to Mellott vs USD LBs. Are the yotes healthy at LB?
It’s gonna come down to can Montana State stop the RB Thies. The USD QB is too soft to play in the cold. If he gets pressured at all and sacked he will fold like a tent.

I was going for hanging in the game and having a chance into the 4th quarter. This game was over in my mind at A.) 7-0 just watching the line of scrimmage. Other correct answers could be B.) When the Bison went up 14-0 in the 1st quarter, or C.) When Romfo fumbled to start the 2nd half. We were never in the game and that sucked for us.
Maybe D) second offensive play of the game for UND down 7-0 and Romfo keeps the ball and loses a yard on a hard hit by Moestart. I think that may have made Romfo a little hesitant to hold onto the ball and if he isn’t running he is not going to beat a good team.

I could say the same thing about your team and SDSU.
I don’t disagree. I don’t think NDSU will win at USD either.

History tells me that we win out next 3 games and lose the next 3 after that. Hope I am proved wrong and we can knock off at least one of the Sodak schools at home. 8-4 is the low bar set now for the rest of the year. Anything short of that would be a major disappointment.
Haven’t looked at your schedule but I don’t foresee beating either SD school.

Jody Norstedt was but he resigned before layoffs were announced. Taylor Budge was retained, so may be a increased role for her, probably not PXP but shows they are not canning everyone and believe she has a important role with UND athletics. Alex Heinert also appears to have been retained. While he has his CBS Sports assignments as well that is not every weekend.
Would not be surprised for basketball and volleyball to see Ryan Cunningham come back to doing PxP. He did some previously for those sports as a freelancer for the games that were broadcast on Bally/Fox Sports North.
I could see Jody going back to WDAY. Don’t think he is interested in relocating right now and don’t see a lot of other opportunities in the broadcast world in the area.

I’m so high on Moni. Wonder what other offers he’ll get
NDSU has offered him too. For what it is worth, yes, Richman is hard to play for. But the ones in the portal so far I am okay with. Skunberg had a good run but his time was up. Morgan can go. To be completely honest it was a 50/50 option if it would be a bucket or a turnover every time they forced it into him. He will not be a major contributor at a P5 school if he gets a big NIL offer like is speculated. If Federson, White or Wheeler-Thomas go, I will be more upset.

Is that now 2 8th graders and a 9th grader? Or were the Horace kids a freshman and sophomore?

Lose by 64, Mal needs to quit chewing out every one and chew herself out
I see Kacie scored half of the teams points again tonight. Is there anyway they are any better next year after she graduates? Not sure the kids from Horace can enroll that early to help Mail out.

What year is Jory in?
this is Collins 5th year. The cupboard was bare when he arrived.

Right now, I say Jory is better coach, but jury is out still some on him too. This team Jory has recruited that is playing right now is better team than Mallory has recruited right now. The difference is he recruited Elle Evans and Draper to his team two years ago. Their length athletic ability right now far exceeds any talent we have recruited so far, we have on this team. The question was this talent any better than the talent we recruited two years ago or has Jory coached them better to develop better and also coached them to play controlled game that we don't have 20 plus turnovers a game, that take good shots and have your players taking shots you want out your offense. Second that our team play a better team basketball. Mallory talks about defense, but we can't play consistent 40 minutes of defense. I get it were young team, but I haven't seen that much improvement from the beginning of the year. I hear play by play color announcer say that's not shot you want to take but it's okay because she made it, but real good coaches don't let it slide like that usually pull their player bench them to teach them that is not acceptable for what you want as coach. I think Mallory let's this happen too many times to where we get to this undisciplined style of basketball. I will also go farther this season started last spring when we lost assistant coaches and i feel took to long to get in place to be prepared for this team which everyone new was going to be young team. Second, I heard today on play by play they weren't able to get Canadian players until school started further putting us behind on development things like this can't happen to this large a group of players on team. I just think with this young of team needed all time they could get for development. Here again Roster construction should have been looked at we could have added transfer that could have played right away. These criticism about little things may be overboard but good coaches i have found always pay attention to little things like this.
Mallory will be back next year but i think she will be short rope things need to improve in quality of play and look to have team that can compete game in game out and if we see another year like this year the AD is going to have to make some hard decisions about the program. Und provides many opportunities to build a good program with facilities, resources to keep good players, and still has above average fan support and if we would start winning consistently this could even be better. I thought we would have some growing with Mallory when she was hired but right now, she has plateaued and that is not good enough to be long term coach for this program.
Collins has recruited Evan’s (who I hope They can keep) and Draper, but his freshman(Koenen, Krawzinski, Simon and the younger Hamling) all all very good with great length and athletism. Collins has a very good thing going in Fargo right now. And it sounds like he has some more good kids from Minnesota coming in next year. He knows getting kids from MN and ND is the best opportunity for success here.

You still think Collin’s is a bad coach
He does. I have nothing against Mallory, but she does not have the right kids to play in the Summit right now. Other than Kacie, and possibly Pemberton, I am not sure there is a kid that would make the rotation on a top 4 team In the league. Unless she has some top recruits coming in ready to play next year, I think what you saw today may be the norm next year. Honestly, I’m not sure they are a Top 4 college women’s team in the state of ND next year without Kacie. Hurst seems to have some talent, but if she isn’t handling the ball and casting up 3’a she seems very disinterested.

He’s a clown but a hell of a coach
he turned around ndsu quickly while we are sinking
I’d rather have a clown and a good coach then be sinking
I don’t think he is not well liked by opposing teams or media but maybe I’m wrong. But he can coach, and most players that left didn’t play or went home to Europe. As long as he is at NDSU and Mail is at UND, I think NDSU will dominate this series.

Jack Michael’s said last year in UND/ndsu womens game Mallory called a timeout with a minute left in UND victory to substitute players so the seniors could be acknowledged by the crowd. Simple as that. Jack said NDSU coach called a timeout with 5 seconds left with a huge lead for no other reason than be a jerk. Wasn’t substituting. Jack said it was bush league by NDSU coach. Interesting
I think you and Jack better go back and look at the play by play of that game. Bernhardt took a timeout with 7 seconds left with the ball leading by 9. The only sub she made was Hoskins out and Hurst in. Hoskins was coming back for another year and it was a mid season game, not senior night anyway. It wasn’t to recognize anyone. If Jack is calling Collins Busch league what did he say about Mallory last year.

I was not able to watch the 2nd half of the men’s game , but was following on ESPN. Saw there was a foul and 2 FT’s by UND and then a bucket right after. Was the flagrant foul a no doubter?

Poach an NDSU position coach
You would have to get the offense quality control guy. I think other position coaches at NDSU make more than 88k.

I would say maybe the best bet for UND is have only Kacie B. Take the shot. They would probably have the best shot at keeping it close if only she were allowed to shoot.

2024-2025 season
in Women's Basketball
Posted
Unfortunately if you are coaching mid-major basketball in these times, you aren’t recruiting the right players if you are just getting kids that are staying 4 or 5 years no matter what. You need kids talented enough to move on after a couple of years and just hope you can keep most of them. NIL money, even just a small amount in WBB will help keep them. The good thing is there should be more talented high school kids available for the mid majors if the high majors are taking transfers rather than high school kids.
