  1. Its hard to quantify "development" because you don't know what their ceiling is. I would say Huff and Anderson developed pretty well. He got every last ounce out of Wilmer.

    More for me, and maybe it ties into what you are saying, is have they ever beat a team they shouldn't have or have they ever over-achieved as a TEAM? Who knows, just random thoughts. :0

    Defensively, they could have been WAY better.

    You're correct- they have rarely pulled off an upset.

    This year- a lot of close games, usually end up on the losing end. Why? Other teams value possession, time management, and play situational basketball. UND? From what I've seen, the last 2 minutes are mostly just business as usual regardless of score, with Foghorn Leghorn running around barefoot flapping his wings yelling I say, I say I think there should've been a foul called there.

  2. It was nice to see a summary of the recruits over the years.... however.....  regardless of who stayed, who played, and how well they played....   my contention is Jones does not develop whoever the players are, to their full potential.  2011-2014 being the prime example.   Wins are gotten purely on athleticism and shooting well.  There is no discipline.    The players are not put in a position to succeed.   As has been said a million times by gfhockey- these teams just play street ball.   

     

    How many coaches around the country could not have led last years' team to a .500 overall record?   How many coaches could not have mustered a 10th place finish in the Big Sky this year?   I guess I just don't understand the passion to hang on to mediocrity, especially 9 years into this experiment.

  3. Jones was just on Tim and swig

    Some of the these that came out of his mouth were funny

    Said they been in every game this year but in (una)

    Also pretty much gaurenteed a top finish next year.

    Is he going on a sabbatical that we don't know about yet? 

  4. Yeah, it's too bad there's that permanent frontal boundary between Grand Forks and Fargo that keeps it cold in the northern valley and sooooo much warmer in the southern valley. :silly:

  5. This team hasn't run an offense for 9 years. Out shooting your opponent is the only way you even have a chance to win playing this way.

    There's no communication on defense, either. Sac state runs actual plays with good ball movement- they had open shots all night.

    I've said it before and agree with it being brought up again here earlier today-- there's little to no improvement over the course of a career here. We saw evidence of that over the previous 4 years.

  6. I think we have 3 freshman bigs that will be good players in Cashman, Shanks, and Shields. Shanks kind of took the weekend off on this trip though.....

    I agree. A year of getting stronger and quicker will make a huge difference for those long guys.

  7. That section doesn't deny athletic scholarships.

    And isn't the saying "ask for forgiveness later?"

    I know NDSU can easily plead stupid and we would believe it, but maybe it just opened new scholarship money for our athletic department.

    "projects dedicated to the advancement of enhanced academics, including...."

     

    How do you interpret this as having anything to do with athletics?

  8. I am a Kelly Green and White guy in a big way. Guess i don't know how being supportive of the current basketball team, thinking I would like the Summit/MVFC conference better (def. not the only UND fan that thinks that), and wishing UND would've raised money from the challenge grants for athletic scholarships because others did would put me on the NDSU side of things?  

     

    Fair enough, I just had to ask.    I don't understand why you're wishing UND would've raised money for the grants designated towards athletic scholarships.... because the letter of the bill said it was designated for Academic funding.    

     

    Are nerds benching 95lbs. and running a 6.7 40 getting academic scholarships to play football at Minot, Dickinson, and ndsu now?   If so that's news to me.     

  9. Based on posts in the last 24 hours of wanting to quell any talk of improving the men's basketball teams coaching staff, and then wishing upon a star UND was in the better Summit and MVFC conferences, and now defending ndsu's clear misuse of funding intended for academics....I feel I gotta ask you, nodakhoops.....

     

    What color is your underwear?
