Thanks for the info. I had no idea.

It's been a long time since I was in school so a lot has changed. I assumed you kept your scholarship through the end of the semester even if you entered the portal. Is her scholarship protected beyond that if she isn't with the team? Or are you referring to other scholarships beyond basketball?

They didn’t mention Chuck Langama in the article. I really think he’ll have a breakout year.

DU with 4 total shots with under 2 minutes left in second. Wow

Nice Strib article on Gutzmer. It is probably behind a paywall but it says Feeney and Gutzmer top 2 QBs on their class in MN and #7 and #9 overall in the state. I know the Minnetonka coaches would be biased toward their guy but they thought he compared favorably with Feeney. https://varsity.startribune.com/minnesota-football-recruits-commit-to-north-dakota-ndsu/601662889?taid=69d5a8a72dba0d00016ac58f&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

That would be great. He's very talented. Had a leg injury last year so missed a number of weeks and wasn't at full strength for the playoffs. He has offer from Miami (Florida). A couple of months ago I mentioned to someone on Minnetonka staff that UND probably out of the mix because of that but he said 'not necessarily.' Gutzmer really liked Schmitty and Danny.

I don’t speak Hutter yet. Does this mean we got a commit?

I was at the game in KC tonight. Left early cuz of little grandkids but was miserable with the rain, cold and bad baseball.

Reusse was on Michael Rand podcast this morning talking about the crazy NIL situation. Said he talked with Uelmen after he helped us beat St Thomas in tourney. Uelmen said he loved UND and Sather gave him a chance ....... Not long after he was in the portal. Reusse then said he talked to Sather at a coaches function at start of NCAA tourney. He asked Sather about losing Uelmen and Sather said something like "I have no idea who I'll have next year at this point. Almost all of my team is in the portal."

was Perron unhappy at UND or was it strictly a money grab?

Pecknold in the Quinnipiac Chronicle. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the guy that just had back to back shutouts in the regional. “He was ahead of the play the entire night,” Pecknold said of the Czech native. “He was locked in. We didn’t do enough to get bodies in front of him. He overchallenges, which is fine at this level, but that creates rebounds and they’re in trouble for that. We didn’t generate those first shots.”

Wondering if Ben Jacobson but don't know. Hopefully someone can fill us in on the story

Wow the puck is bouncing. Like many have said - shoot the damn puck. You never know where a pass might end up.

FCS has been at 24 teams since 2013 season. Do you want to renounce the 8 titles NDSU has won during that time?

We had a junior on our local hs girls team get over $50k two years ago.

There are a number of us on here that believe what you are saying and support what you want to get accomplished. There are plenty of red flags with the program going back over the past 10-15 years to indicate that if things don't change we can't be successful.

I talked with one hs senior/incoming freshman last spring and asked how it impacted her with Mal leaving. She said Hutter was the primary recruiter for her anyway. edit - I was talking to her and one of her parents regarding how it impacted her offer and commitment. Not regarding the play on the court.

I’d love our guys to stay but hard to argue with the money. If a kid passes up $1M to stay at UND I’d wonder if he even learned anything in his business classes.

When Calipari went to Arkansas 2 seasons ago he was guaranteed $5M for player payments. I remember thinking that was crazy. They’re now at $11.5M per this breakdown of Sweet 16 teams player money.

There's just so much money out there available and it's growing incredibly with the revenue sharing agreement. U of MN basketball was believed to have $1M available for the 2024-25 season. Estimate for next season is $5-6M. The spare change they can find in the couch is enough to lure kids from schools like UND.

It is possible that is looking to address your concerns and can't say much to anybody that is not in his chain of command. I know that would have been true in the corporation I worked for. It is also possible that he isn't going to do anything but even if he was he probably wouldn't say anything.

Guessing referring to Abby Duchacherer. Former ND Miss Basketball who plays softball at Alabama. Is coming next year with one year left I believe.

True. Just said more went in to the parents comments besides charter flights. That is getting all the focus on here but was only one of many things that were brought up.
