Well your comment was in response to a prospective recruit so I guess that’s why I responded with where our current recruiting class is from and not on their talent.

https://fnhawkstalk.wordpress.com/2023/01/29/its-not-all-bad/ Decided to take another shot at the blog. Check it out if you want.

As much as I want us to be a landing spot for P5 drop downs, I think this is the approach that needs to be done. A Joe Hurlburt or maybe a Treyton Thompson type P5 drop down could happen with both being somewhat local. Find some diamonds in the rough in JUCO/HS and make this a more desirable place to play with winning and more P5 may be interested.

I do believe they think they have a real good shot at landing him.

Yeah I feel like he could be an instant contributor. Not sure why he’s been jumping schools. But like you said, good to see the other offers.

I think our best bet is Saul Phillips takes another leap and it opens the head coaching position back at Northern. I think they’d take him back.

I’m of the opinion that Sather could figure it out but it’s time to move on. Let everyone leave, I don’t care. Let’s just restart. Best for UND and probably best for Sather, tbh.

Matt Norman my goodness. Think doubling Nelson would be smart. Guy does not want to go left at all though but still getting what he wants.

Probably right. I was thinking Omot’s length but yeah not sure it would be enough.

Mathews on Morgan? T on Nelson? Wonder if Omot could guard Nelson a bit?

I’m a naive homer but there’s absolutely no reason this shouldn’t stay close. I wouldn’t say NDSU has an immense talent advantage. Nelson and Morgan are good. Wheeler-Thomas is progressing. I’m not saying we will win but if we see something like the first matchup that is pathetic.

No there was an issue with eligibility I believe. The plan was to come here but it didn’t work out.

Let’s say Sather isn’t fired right after the season and then 2 of Omot, Brooks and Eaglestaff enter the portal? Are those that are wanting to keep Sather still in that camp? If they all stay, we may be onto something if Herbst crushes the recruiting trail but if they leave we are back to an empty cupboard with no highly sought after recruits coming in.

I’m by no means an architect but there seems to be a lot of room on the north/south side.

Think there’s plans to add a practice facility too for the Betty, right? I guess probably nothing concrete but I know it’s been talked about. If that happened I think they could renovate the Betty a bit to have a more intimate feel. The bleachers to me seem like they’re way too far away from the baseline and they’re tiny high school like bleachers.

You deleted your post saying something to the effect of “you’re judging our program based off 10 year old kids giving them high fives…. Really?” To “not a good look for our program!” Maybe it’s a bit tongue in cheek but odd change.

The job only has to be open for 3 days minimum.

Better financial pool, better finalist pool.

I’m not even trying to defend Sather. Was just pointing out a now successful head coach with a similar start at his current program although Scott Drew’s came with some different hurdles at Baylor at the time.

I think this is huge. Right now this will look like a dead end job unfortunately.

Conference. That’s the 3-24 record that was thrown out there. Sather is actually 36-69 overall too lol although that may be a few games behind. Not sure.

It’s not nearly as bad % wise but Scott Drew went 12-52 his first four years at Baylor.

What would you say the odds are that Sather is the head coach come next year? I know what you guys want and I’ve obviously gone back and forth but what do you think will actually happen.
