UND1983

Great. Will Mallory be coaching here when she finally graduates in 4 years? Mal should probably be worrying about her roster next year that currently will get her fired.

Probably gonna be too slow for this level. He could play but not be very effective unfortunately

Mal just offered an 8th grader. Like what are we doing

How does a AAA team operate vs a high school team? One or the other...same ages...?

have you seen the behavior of kids now? They need twice the para's because they refuse to discipline, also.

Can Kraft turn into a Matt Norman type of player?

I was told on here that precedent was set on this type of situation. Moody I believe. Hope it doesn’t happen again

Will Nacho be kicked off the team now for having a child to support? Simple question.

Where were you guys the last month or so? It's obvious now that you guys showed up after Sather was hired and have been against him since the start. What is the issue?

Does he even do much when it comes to these?

I suppose yah

Good point. UND was better this year, yes. But, SDSU, NDSU and ORU were all worse. UMKC was better but flaked out in tourney. St Thomas was about same.

I have spoken to this many times lately but since several coaches have left word has gotten out about the differences. Leadership - Expectations - Accountability - were a few of the words that came up from my sources. I have called UND the country club and I do not back off of that still today. SDSU has extreme leadership and vision and they hold their coaches to that.

BJ will be gone

For those that watched, notice how they were doubling Fidler before calling timeout on the in bounds. Then out of timeout they didn’t double Fidler. huh

What happened to Ralphie and the boys?

Rebound!!! Dang

Jardine is on their roster (and ours) https://gomountaineers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster

She is on two current rosters at same time

IALTO

SDSU's entire roster is from MN (6), SD (4), IA (3), WI (1). Just some food for thought

Literally nobody said they should be recruiting only North Dakota girls. This roster is a mess no matter how hard you try to spin it. Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin. All recruited by our other teams, why not WBB? We haven't even started the conversation on how to build a culture - a locker room. They sure don't seem to have that whatsoever with this crew as shown by their play.

I don't want to come across like I have anything against Mallory. She seems like a great lady, a great alum. It's just frustrating to see it play out like this and know what they are doing isn't going to work. Football has the same issues with roster going up against the SU's. Hockey has years where coming in most can tell they aren't going to be as good. Scoring will be a problem etc. But then they fix it quickly.

Great questions. I would want to know what the plan is to make the program better. What is the plan for recruiting and why they are doing what they are doing. This year is now further clarification that their recruiting plan is not working. Accountability. Expectations. Does Chaves expect them to be a Top 3 team in the Summit League every year and if so has that been conveyed to the coach? Did she come back and relay what she needs to make that happen (if she doesn't have it now). Their recruiting plan is abnormal for a program in this area. They have purposely chosen to recruit distance players at the same rate they recruit local players. Do SDSU and USD do that? Does NDSU? There are five players from Canada on this team and one of them appears good (Pemberton). If they are going distance, why are they not of similar caliber and body type to the top teams? In-game coaching is probably a hard discussion. But development could be a topic. Are the pieces in place for off-season development? If a team is losing by 50+ at any time in the conference season there is an issue. Period.

Yah we do. Let's check back in 2 years to see how it's going! Any length to them to matchup with NDSU and SDSU?
