UND92,96

I believe that likely completes the 2026 high school recruiting class--Fricke, Smith and Sonnenberg. Looks like a very solid class. This was from a Star Tribune article on recruiting from May:

That's what I am thinking, also. As in 1. offense; 2. defense; 3. kickoff; 4. kick return; 5. punt; 6. punt return; 7. field goal/extra point.

6’2”. Projects as a 4. Fits what Hutter likes at that position, in that she has 3-point range in addition to post up ability.

Has offers from Oral Roberts and Southeastern Louisiana, plus numerous dIIs. Ranked 14th best 2026 prospect in Arkansas.

Warren Township (IL) lineman Jordan Ellis has committed to UND. Had offers from Southern Illinois, Western Illinois, St. Thomas and Butler.

I'm not sure having more NIL money really impacts the caliber of players a low-major program is going to get from the portal all that much. Looking at who Omaha is bringing in, the only one who looks like he might be something is a 5'9" division II transfer who scored 24 ppg last season. Otherwise, their newcomers don't look like anything special.

The guy I'm kind of interested to see if he can surprise some people and get into the rotation is Uelmen. Seems like he was kind of a late bloomer in high school, but he was the leading scorer as a senior for Minnetonka, who won the MN AAAA state title that season. He was actually a bigger scorer than his high school teammate Andy Stefanowicz, who played quite a bit as a freshman at NDSU last season.

Looks like 2026 Kinley Smith recently visited and was offered by UND. She's a 6'2" forward from Fouke, Arkansas.

I realize St. Thomas has pretty deep pockets, and SDSU historically draws very well for basketball and probably gets a fair amount of money from Sioux Falls businesses, but where does Omaha get its NIL money? They are literally the third-most popular division I program in their own city.

I would be shocked if both aren't in the rotation, and I would guess that Micah will be in the starting lineup by the time conference play starts, if not sooner. Considering all the front court minutes gone from last year between Kuljohovic, Woodson, Mayar, Mara and Mathews, and with Natsvishvili being in all likelihood the only returnee with much of a chance of getting serious front court minutes, by process of elimination you almost have to assume both Curtises will play a lot.

New commit--James Jones, a WR from St. Thomas Aquinas HS (FL). Has offers from Eastern Michigan, Western Kentucky, Liberty, Rhode Island and Bethune-Cookman.

I believe geaux_sioux is correct. All signs point to this being Minta.

My guess would be Carter Harris, since he visited recently.

It’s Rudd. UNDFootball360 confirmed it.

UND has offered 2026 Byron (MN) guard Madison Ohm, a high school teammate of incoming freshman Kendra Harvey. She also has an offer from Bowling Green.
