Probably not coincidentally, Sather just announced a commitment via Twitter.

Kimbrough has committed to Northern Iowa.

Dissette committed to Duluth.

Minessale from St. Thomas went into the portal today, so they're pretty much as decimated as everybody else now.

Wow. I've posted some probably terrible takes over the years, but I would have never thought posting a link to a press release about a signing would be what warranted my first downvotes ever.

UND has signed PG Ciona Wells, a transfer from division II Western Oregon: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2026/4/10/womens-basketball-womens-basketball-announces-signing-of-ciona-wells.aspx

You may very well be right. But this is what Dom Izzo tweeted earlier today:

You really have to wonder what the impact of the proposed "5 for 5" rule change may have. It would give an additional year of eligibility to everybody in King's and Anderson's situation, i.e. played four years but never took a redshirt/medical redshirt year.

Medical redshirt. So he has two more years.

Correct.

Based on the picture posted on the UND women's basketball twitter today, it appears no more players are going to be entering the portal aside from the three we know about. So there should be eight returnees, plus the four signees from the fall, with three to-be-determined additions.

I see Darik Dissette is back in the portal, after averaging 14 points and 5 rebounds per game for Minot State this past season. I figured he would finish out his career at home in Minot.

Per the Fargo Forum, in addition to the previously announced Volmer, Ohnstad and Fletcher are in the portal. Ohnstad is kind of an enigma. She was the 9th-ranked player in the MN class of 2024 (by comparison Ava Miller was 33rd), which normally suggests somebody is good enough to be a pretty good Summit player, and obviously she was good enough to earn a scholarship to Kansas State, but for whatever reason she just couldn't consistently crack the lineup. She only shot 29.5% from the floor when she did play. I would guess she'll end up somewhere in the NSIC. Fletcher is probably the least surprising departure, if for no other reason than she was the only one on the roster eligible to return, and who was in the program for more than one year, but still couldn't crack the rotation at any point in the 2025-26 season. I would guess she'll maybe go back to a Canadian school. Volmer has athletic ability, but she struggled to score and isn't known as a 3-point shooter. Like Ohnstad, I could see her playing in the NSIC.

You are correct!

One of the bottom 20 division I teams this year. I would be curious to know what other offers he had.

Sather doesn't appear to be following Yale on twitter, for whatever that's worth.

There's usually about two division I players per class in ND. This year, it's Bell and Fricke. I could see Passanante from Davies potentially having a shot to transfer to a division I program in a few years if she does well at UMD. Next year's class has Marlee Falcon from Legacy, who has a bunch of offers, and Christofferson from Horace, whose parents both were UND athletes and has a UND offer, albeit from when Bernhard was coach.

Lots of interest, but Campbell is the only reported offer. No Summit interest reported thus far.

Kinnebrew has committed to UNLV.

5'11" point guard. Averaged 18.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.4 steals per game this past season. Shot 41.1% from the field and 33.2% behind the arc. Scored over 1,000 points in his two years at SCSU.

OK, thanks.

I didn't think coaches were allowed to make offers prior to the official opening of the portal, which is still six days away?

Delorme is in the portal. This one surprises me a bit.

I think Demers had a pretty good career. A lot of people tend to forget that she skipped her senior year of high school to enroll early at USD, so she really should only be a junior right now. Her numbers improved every year, despite playing for three different head coaches in her last three years.

I see Mandy Pearson from UMD has been hired as the new head coach at St. Thomas. She would have been pretty high on my wishlist if UND had conducted a search after last season. Concordia grad and has had a lot of success in Duluth.
