UND92,96

Speaking of Huff, this SUU blogger has him as the Big Sky MVP so far: http://www.suunews.com/weblogs/monday-morning-quarterback/2013/jan/29/halfway-through-big-sky-play-heres-some-awards/

Just saw on twitter than Norberg switched his visit to Iowa from this past weekend to this coming weekend.

True, but Carey may have also played somewhat of a role in UND getting Adams. I have far less of a problem with a kid de-committing to go the FBS route, as opposed to de-committing to go to another FCS school.

I assume he meant Disterhaupt?

I would expect UND to fare pretty well recruiting head-to-head against SDSU, particularly for kids from warmer weather states, due in large part to the fact that they are the only FCS school in the region that still plays outside. Even when UND had nothing to play for, we were able to get McGill and Sparks, for example, both of whom SDSU badly wanted. True, at present SDSU has a better team. But UND is generally considered the better school, in a much larger town, and plays (and hopefully soon practices) out of the elements most of the time.

He has reportedly de-committed and is now committed to SDSU.

If we assume there's a good chance Riddle ends up going to Portland St., I wonder what the contingency plan is if Rogers goes elsewhere, too? I just can't imagine we could enter the 2013 season with just two scholarship qb's.

So basically, he's probably signing with UND. Unless Portland State or some other division I school on the west coast offers. I guess that's what you would call a "soft" commitment.

One other possibility regarding the commitment Mannausau apparently facilitated--Dan Bell reportedly visited this past weekend. Even though he committed to UND several months ago, I believe there was some information to suggest it was more of a "soft" commitment. If he made a firm commitment following his visit, I suppose it's possible that may have prompted the "chest bump"?

Noah Scarver has reportedly committed to Montana, according to SFI. He visited UND this past weekend.

RB Rashadeem Gray from Milwaukee reportedly visited this past weekend, and he's from Wisconsin, so he's presumably in Mannausau's area. Just a guess.

Maybe Gray?

I think Phillip Morris and Phillip Moore are well-known for different things.

This is the second year in a row where UND was reportedly recruiting two kids from the same Illinois high school, and we got one while the other went to SDSU (Golladay and Charles Ellmore last year).

That would be nice, but it would be surprising if Thurman commits anywhere until after he visits SIU next weekend.

Sounds like a California commitment today based upon Kotelnicki and Mannausau tweets.

Maybe Peters? He was a very good punter in high school anyway.

So basically, right now this is the same UND team as last year, minus Mitchell and Brekke. I guess under the circumstances, the less-than-satisfactory results should not be too big of a surprise. But I have a hard time getting past the fact that with three available scholarships after last season, practically no on-court contribution was received this season from the players brought in. I'm not so sure bad luck alone completely explains that one.

Sounds like Schleusner got another commitment.

Allard did have 10 rebounds last night, so he is capable of making a nice contribution. But his shooting percentage is quite poor, so generally speaking the fewer shots he takes, the better.

Not to split hairs, but none of those Great West tournament games were against the host school, so all were neutral site games. The odd thing is that the current junior class has actually been quite good in neutral site games--6-1. It just makes the futility in true road games all the more puzzling.

Was there a third commit today? Muss just tweeted "big time commit!" a few minutes ago.

I think it's a definite concern. While I am very happy about the Hooker signing, the other recruiting since the Huff, Anderson Webb class has been lackluster, at best. And there hasn't been a single big man recruited from the high school ranks since Brekke. Which wouldn't be such a big issue if the transfers signed in lieu of four-year players were actually eligible and playing...
