Must be Gayner. Kladis and Canahuate both have very recent tweets about UND women’s basketball.

I believe three.

Cousins.

I have to think Jacobson's connections will be an asset in recruiting the portal.

As far as we know: Hillesheim Harvey Klosterbuer Reardon Piekny Harris Duchscherer Wells Jacobson Fricke Smith Sonnenberg

I’m not sure whether this was previously mentioned, but Thomas and Green were JUCO teammates. When Thomas committed, I assumed it was a very good sign. Not sure what went wrong. Oh well. Still a lot of good guards in the portal looking for a team.

Looks like Green committed to Lindenwood.

No.

New commitment. Presumably Green?

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.
