I don’t know about others, but I don’t give a crap how good or bad some NAIA conference is.

ORU was the 4 seed that year. Granted it was Covid so crowds weren’t much of a factor.

I’m sure that did but how often will that happen? This is guaranteed. Idk the numbers so willing to listen just saying they can count on these dollars. They also have an agreement with the Sanford Center through 2025 I believe with an option for 2026.

While I think Todd Lee was a dbag and tampering may have been part of the firing, there were some other off the court extra curricular activities going on.

If Brooks has a ceiling of Seales, that’s not bad. At least that’s someone I would rather not lose. I wouldn’t put him quite on the same level as BJ and Trey though if he does transfer.

It’s hard to assume what’s going to happen but let’s just say it goes our way this offseason and our main 7 contributors return. We could be in business. - ORU likely won’t return their main guys, although they could which is scary. - SDSU will lose Dentlinger, Arians and Appel (he didn’t play this year anyways) and who knows a bigger school could poach Zeke. - NDSU could return really everyone so they could be scary. It really all depends on Nelson. As the forum so wisely pointed out he’s down to 3 options: enter the draft, go to a P5 or stay. - WIU loses Massner and Rosner. Huge holes to fill. - UST depends a lot on if Rohde stays. He’s a super special talent. - USD sounds like they could see a major overhaul but just Hayes and Archambault are out of eligibility. Think Plitzuweit, KPH and Kamateros could be gone as well. I could touch on the others as well but they’re not as big of a worry, in my mind. I suppose Omaha can keep building with Fidler. My whole point of going through all those teams is that there‘s certainly room to climb the stands and do it quickly. These teams in front of us have a lot of questions as well. A whole lot of what ifs but the path is there. Just trying to put some optimism out there.

Feels like anytime UND hits a big shot that could lead to some momentum, Omaha answers right away.

It could be a long two months of speculating. Heck it might be a long week with the portal not technically opening until the Monday following Selection Sunday.

Do you know something or just assuming based off the past?

I guess I wasn’t intending on defending Berry. I would be more than fine with moving on. I just really don’t see it happening after this year.

I’ve been one that has been pretty anti-Berry but like some others on here, I believe he deserves one more season to clean it up. If it’s anything even remotely like this season, buh-bye!

Me coming in and seeing @UND-SPORTS-FANmade the thread.

Let’s go guys. We can win tomorrow.

I think it has a lot to do with Eaglestaff. They’re best friends.

Agreed. They’re likely not long for the Summit.

2026-27 so this coming years freshman class would be the first eligible for the tournament.

Going to St. Thomas would be stupid. Lateral move (right now) and no shot at the dance. If he wants to be closer to home, may as well go to Northern Iowa. Still 3 hours away from Mankato but closer, better conference and a chance to make the dance.

He really doesn’t belong in the Summit tbh. I don’t know how UST keeps him without the chance of going dancing. He’s on a different level than our freshman of the years in the past.

I’m just going to focus on this part of your post. I, like everyone here, really hope BJ stays. The guy could develop into an absolute force in the Summit. I think he could be a real good player in the Valley too. Like you said, he has a ways to go to be an impact player in the B1G. After last year, I would have said I hope T transfers because he was very replaceable. At the beginning of this year, I had similar thoughts anytime Norman did anything besides shoot 3s. Shows why I’m not on the coaching staff and also how much both these two improved. Having both return next year would be huge. I would guess T does but Norman will be interesting to see whether he tries to find a role on a bigger school or maybe he just hangs them up. Brady falls into the same boat for me as I would love to have him back but he may just be ready. Reid Grant just isn’t a D1 player. He’s a nice PG with good vision but he belongs at the D2 level. There’s no shame in that. Think Levias could become a reliable bench player in the Summit with a full offseason of health but could find a lot of success moving down as well. I believe he’s around 21 or so as a redshirt freshman. I will go ahead and assume we will have at least two scholarships available. I think everyone on here can agree that we need an actual 5 and a PG.

Interesting. If that’s the case, I believe we have 2 open scholarships then. Sueker and Nero for sure gone and then assuming Danielson plus Ndouko not making it and only 2 scholarship players coming in.

Is Bothun actually a PWO?

Danielson could return too unless it’s been confirmed he’s done and I missed it.
