  1. Of the known offers or players that you believe we may have mutual interest with in the portal, what’s everyone’s priority list? 

    Known Offers: Jamar Brown, Trent Johnson, Tasos Cook, Braelon Bush and Deng Mayar

    Potential Mutual Interest: Terrance Brown, Eli King, Elvis Nnaji… there’s obviously more and I could be missing some offers.

    I struggle really prioritizing it but I will say I love Jamar Brown. Deng Mayar would provide an excellent motor with length and athleticism.  Terrance Brown, who’s supposedly visiting soon, gives me Geno vibes. Eli and Elvis both played with BJ and Trey so if that can help people stick around that’s awesome plus Eli at least was highly touted.

    Have we offered any big guys yet? Seems to be all guards unless I’ve missed something 

    I haven’t seen any. Deng Mayar is 6’7” but I wouldn’t consider him a 5 or even really a 4.

    Sorry if what I was saying came across wrong. I'm not saying the team will for sure be worse now that he is coming back. I was just trying to bring up the point that I've seen it before where a player comes back for a Covid year and then it stunts the growth of the team but especially the growth of younger players that are looking to take that next step and step into bigger roles.

    I would have liked to see Eaglestaff and Brooks take all the minutes Brady played last year and both step into bigger roles and continue to develop. I highly doubt Sather plays Brady any less or in any less of a role. That could hinder the growth of younger players. That's all I was trying to say.

    I guess I think your concern is valid but if Brady isn’t providing us the best chance to win with his minutes, I believe Sather will trim his minutes. He did that with Sueker. Granted it may have taken longer than many would have liked, myself included, but it did happen.

    Yeah, the situation with the D for this coming year sucks, but I'm not ready to throw the coaching staff under the bus for it yet.

    Bast and Johnson leaving puzzles me.  If you are a junior and you are looking around and there are only three of you with any returning experience, and the other two really don't have a ton more than you, especially on the special teams units, and you are at a premier program, this is as good an opportunity as you will ever have presented to you in your college career.  If you can't make this go, then you better be working on that degree.

    And with that, you enter the portal?

    Maybe the coaching staff suggested they enter the portal?

  5. Being 5’11, which doesn’t look like he’s even that, he has everything going against him. I’ve never seen him play or even heard of him until now but caught a couple highlights. Is he a good enough shooter, athletic enough, playmaker, defender to make up for his size? To me, given his track record, it would be worth a shot for an NSIC team to certainly take a look.

    Good analysis.  l think that the "Best player available" needs to be a shooter to replace Norman.  He added a lot to the offense when his shooting became consistent the second half of the season.  Helped us go on that 6 out of 8 or whatever it was at one point late in the season.

    Insert Jamar Brown here. Think he may not be quite to the level of shooter that Norman was but not far behind and probably equal or better everywhere else.

    The staff needs to develop them to their fullest potential.  I have faith they will do so.

    Do I expect them to help out next year? No, because I think this staff will land some talent with the scholarships that are left

    Agreed with this and what @SD UNDsaid with attacking a redshirt year. None of the current commits should see any playing time and if they do, it should be in the exhibitions. 

  8. It’s the offseason so there’s always bickering about stuff but this message board used to be a lot more enjoyable, with good conversations before a select few came in talking football and basketball in the last year or so.

    I don't think Nelson stays. He will enter the NBA draft and if he gets good reviews he'll stay in, if not he'll transfer to a bigger school to prove he can play at the top level competition in college. Same thing that Scheierman did last year. 

    https://www.inforum.com/sports/bison-media-zone/mens-sports/mcfeely-ndsus-grant-nelson-about-to-enter-new-world

    Him staying at NDSU is still an option, but it wouldn't make much sense if his goal is to get drafted in the NBA draft either this year or next year. 

    I think it would be silly for him to stay too. Go get the bag.

    Not sure why UND wouldn't be recruiting him. Extremely high ceiling! Who wouldn't want an extremely long, athletic, 6'10" player that can shoot threes, and has potential to develop some skills off the bounce. Seems like a no brainer to me. 

    He can play the 4 for us. What would be wrong with a lineup of: 1. Trent (6'4") 2. Eaglestaff (6'6") 3. Omot (6'8") 4. Majouk (6'10") 5. TT (6'9")

    4 guys can shoot the 3 ball. Spread the floor and let Trent do what he does best and create for others off the dribble. Tons of length on defense that could cause issues for other teams. Have a rim protector in Majouk. Could even throw some zone out there with that much length on the floor. Really think UND should be all over this kid. 

    Have you seen him play? Just wondering. Certainly love the length and his %s look pretty good. Not to mention, 3 years to play is great. Think it’s worth a look but certainly not the end of the world if we don’t land him.

    Majok Majouk from Southwest Minnesota State University has entered the transfer portal. 6'10" but only 170 pounds. Super long and athletic. 3rd in the NSIC in blocked shots. 3 years of eligibility. Would be a project but very high upside! 7 PPG, 5 RPG, and 1 block per game. Shot 37.6% from three on 85 attempts as well. UND needs to be all over this kid ASAP!

    Another player from SMSU to keep an eye on if he hits the portal is Dunwa Omot. From Mankato but went to different high school than BJ. His brother? Cousin? 6'3" guard. Sophomore this year and averaged 17 PPG with 37% from three on 140 attempts. 2.3 assist to turnover ratio. Could be a good player to bring in as a backup PG or another wing scorer. If he enters the portal UND needs to be all over him as well!!

    Dunwa is BJ’s brother.
