Don't know what the rules are for this situation, but she would clearly be an asset.

This is the part of the equation that intrigues me the most. She's remained on staff through 3 head coaches; the only consistent part of the program since the dramatic rise up with Hardee (first as a player, then as a coach) and the equally hard fall under Pryor and Tiffin. Obviously she has some value to the program, but not enough to make her HC.

Sounds like the perfect candidate.

Hit the nail on the head. Ball control last two seasons has been atrocious.

Absolutely YES to everything here. Playing it off as the “JV” championship (as one of my coworkers does) is a terrible outlook for UND fans.

Where did Scheel end up this year? That was a huge loss to lose him early.

I didn’t go back into the thread to see if anybody mentioned it, but Ben Holden is calling the Gophers game on BTN.

As a coach, is Vigen > Entz?

Nooooooooooooo!

Yes. I realize coaches have to recruit that level of O-line talent, but after that, is coaching an NDSU team really that hard??!!

Awesome!

Speculation here, but I would guess the two that tested positive quarantined away from the team and it's the remainder of the team that will test and will get to play provided there are no positives.

Yes, certainly wasn't my intent to start a discussion of the upcoming season and then spend pages wondering if the quarterback is going to call an audible...

If true, what a POS. Can't believe he'd turn around and do the staff like that after what they did for him.

The play by play announcer (Gord Miller, I believe) even has a Frank Mazzacco style voice. I like listening to them because, yes, they are homers, but they also are incredibly critical of the players. They expect absolute perfection out of the Canadian team.

Also on WDAY Xtra, for those in the local viewing area.

Having 2 setters for the next 8 years would be a good start to the rebuild

This implies that they were R1 at some point in the past. Anyone know the history? Has UND ever been R1?

Just a gut feeling, but I’m thinking we’ll be respectable (like .500) potentially next year, but 2 years for sure. I think we’ll contend for league titles in 3-4 years.

As was I. Iowa St. was ranked #15 nationally. Texas A&M was also in the field. Probably the two best NCAA volleyball programs ever to come to Grand Forks.

Did a little digging on her and she actually played at the Betty back in 2013 when the UND Classic featured Iowa State. She was named to the All-tournament team.

So, do we think there will be an announcement this morning?
