UND92,96

Here's the press release announcing the three juco transfers: http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=209815090

McCabe is signing with Montana St.

I know some are trying to temper expectations for Shanks, which I understand, but I honestly just hope that in time, he's a more physically gifted version of senior year Mitch Wilmer. It will be interesting to see exactly how far away from Wilmer's senior year level Shanks is by the end of this season.

Jonathan Reed has UND at 11th in his Big Sky power rankings. Hard to argue with it. http://www.bigskybball.com/2014/12/big-sky-power-rankings-121514.html?spref=tw

Assuming Jones could find an assistant job at a division I mid-major (such as UNI or Creighton), wouldn't the buyout end up being almost nothing? It would be reduced by whatever salary he gets from his next coaching job.

In the event a change were made in the next year or two, I would take a serious look at Chad Walthall from MSU-Moorhead.

JUCO safety Zach Arnell has committed to UND, per SFI.

It appears another UAB safety, Desman Carter, may soon be visiting UND also.

UNDRecruiting just re-tweeted a Peluso tweet that indicated that he was offered a full scholarship, and he seemed pretty excited about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he commits soon, if he hasn't already.

Not to beat a dead horse regarding the length of UND's search from last year, but...

I haven't seen her play aside from a few highlights here and there, but she appears to be a true 5, with perhaps the ability to step out and hit a medium-range jump shot and drive around slower defenders. Like most high school kids, she'll have to get stronger, but she appears to have decent strength and speed already for her height. Just based upon her high school numbers, I am thinking she'll be an upgrade, at least offensively, over UND's current reserve posts.

I expect Klabo to not only play next year, but to start. Obviously there's a big need for scoring in the post with Evers' departure after this year, and I don't see anybody else aside from Klabo having the ability to realistically fill that role.

Rumor has it Montana is going to hire Bob Stitt from Colorado Mines.

Commitment (commitments?) from Key West. The twins?

Even though it means very little this early in the season, it's pretty cool that UND has an RPI of 57 right now.

The overall numbers aren't good on the season. It was not a one-game thing. Buck was the main 3-point threat last year, and after her the numbers were quite underwhelming. I just feel like with 15 scholarships, you can afford to have a zone-buster or two, even if they might not be great athletes or well-rounded players. I'm not trying to be a downer here. It's just that there are some teams coming up on the schedule that are a lot better than NDSU, and I don't like UND's chances of even keeping it close against UM or USD without hitting some 3's.

Somebody from Visalia (CA) committed this morning, which I am assuming is Kevin Camy?

UND scored 90 points without a single 3-pointer. Brew is a great coach, and this is a good team, but I don't quite understand the lack of 3-point shooters in the program.

The streak is finally dead.

UND down 29-25 at the half.

UNI beat Illinois St. by 14 about a month ago, but that was at UNI.

It sounds like Tillman may have committed tonight.

LB Barron Miller from Mississippi Gulf Coast CC is visiting UND this weekend.

Safety Javon Tillman from Sierra (CA) College will reportedly be visiting UND this weekend.

Sounds like Beau Baldwin from EWU might be a candidate at both Colorado St. and Oregon St.
