Believe they should have waited on Amar Miller for future PG , no hurry to sign Brown who had no competing offers. Sterling Newman 2016 PF Noah McCarty @noahmccarty32 picks up North Dakota offer! @QuadCityElit

Brown average 14 pts 4 assists for a team ranked 46th in Iowa. Surprised with only 2 offers open a a lot of young guards on team next year that they would sign him. Did not hold any other D1 or D2 offers.Billy Brown ‏@BrownBilly6 1h 1 hour agoGrand Forks, ND Proud to say that I have committed to The University of North Dakota.

Not nearly enough talent in North Dakota to support 2 D1teams. fact is NDSU usually has 2 ND kids on scholarship last 3-4 years.... Also NDSU is picking up scholarship players from high school and prep schools from Wisc not so much from MN.

Collins maybe 6'5' only had one D1 offer, ranked 19th best MN. prospect 2015 by North Star Hoops. who saw a ton of him. Did not play well enough in high school to translate into D1 player at least not until he is a junior or senior.

Solid shot at Miller only 5'8" and strictly a lead guard. Do not see him bagging too many more offers . UND probably needs to secure another power forward first and foremost and only 2 open scholarships for class of 2016... Avants probably not the answer for serous minutes at th 4 and Bernstine likely to be backed up by sr. walk on Hobaugh.

UND has 2 scholarship seniors on next years team ,will likely need to see how large class of newcomers stack up before closing the deal on any prospects. Richman has a nice frame and was pretty good at track and field, will be interesting to see how he looks at the 4 compared to Avants.

Yeah he seems to have chip on shoulder against police and race issues.... WaldoEsque @WheeWhee25 · Apr 28 WaldoEsque retweeted Kyle You dont really know what your talking about man. Sorry but im done. WaldoEsque added, Kyle @Kyle_Kaminski8 @KiyaMDaye @WheeWhee25 No dount. Theres some corrupt cops. But the same thing happens to whites, Mexicans etc.

Baker Wheeler 6'2 SG Osseo Fury Davis One of the two biggest Minnesota stock raisers this summer Wheeler has blown up because he’s scoring as a catch and hit guy, taking people off of two bounce either way to hit the pull-up, or attacking for scores on the break. Versatile scorer

Per Jon Reed Big Sky Basketball blogger....8. North Dakota Losses: Jaron Nash, Lenny Antwi, Chad Calcaterra, Ryan Salmonsen, Josiah Coleman, Kraig Shields The sheer number of players leaving the program (either through graduation or transfer) is a bit exhausting, but it's not as bad as it looks. The biggest name is Jaron Nash, and though he was a very talented guy who could do a lot of things, at times he may have hurt the offense more than helped it. The other notable loss is Lenny Antwi, who followed up three OK years with a very solid senior season that saw him become a more consistent outside threat. However, they still have some guys, especially in the backourt. Quinton Hooker took the big step forward that many people thought he would as a sophomore, becoming a steady PG with improved scoring punch. He will be an all-conference candidate type of player next year, and is easily their most important guy. He is joined in the backcourt by two transfers from last year who will be seniors - Estan Tyler and Terrell de Rouen. Tyler has the ability to be a very good scorer with a dangerous outside shot. De Rouen is the better defender of the two, but he shots a miserable 30% on over 100 threes last year - which quickly makes you a net negative offensively. Dustin Hobaughis another guy that will get minutes, and can hit shots from anywhere on the court. Up front is where there will be more question marks. The anchor will likely be Carson Shanks, who became eligible in the second semester last year, and flashed some skills. He was solid rebounding the ball, and showed some shot blocking chops. They are expecting growth from him. Bryce Cashman got some minutes as a freshman, and had an interesting time. He was 22/36 from the floor (great), but 8/24 from the free throw line (yeesh). In the recruits that they have signed so far, it seems like there was an emphasis on wings, and they got some talented guys. I expect they will sign a JUCO big man or two to provide some depth and talent in the frontcourt, with immediate playing time being a lure for them. After reaching the Big Sky title game two years, they predictably took a step back as guys graduated. However, they have more talent than you might think, and should compete in the middle of the Big Sky next season...... JonApril 14, 2015 at 1:03 PM For UND, I had heard rumors of Tyler not being back, but haven't heard anything official so far... If he is not back, I agree they should be moved down from 8th per Jon. So Jonathon is putting UND 8TH or lower.... Hooker is the only proven average or better Big Sky starter returning for UND. Weber and Montana will be top 2 followed by E. Wash. No. Az,and So. Utah rounding out the top 5 in all the preseason publications. Counting on big improvement from returning players and on newcomers other than proven D1 transfers is an exercise that most coaches and fans participate in prior to the season starting. No Az. Weber, and Montana St are all drooling over their new comers. Teams playing summer exhibition tours will provide their fans a basis for a more educated projection for the 2015/16 season.

No we did not poke fun at them....Pac 12, Big 10, ACC and SEC, Big East ....ect ect.ect all have a normal conference tourney.Long over due for the Big Sky to catch up with reality!

Corey set up at the 3 at Juco level 39 % FG,twice as many turnovers as assists and 67% Ft. are his weak points, 2 steals per game and 5 rebounds per outing are good for the season. Over last 10 games averaged 19ppg, 5.5 rebounds and shot 45%.,43% 3pts.and 82% ft. . Very strong finish. Graduated high school in 2011 took a couple years off before going Juco...Dirden recruit

passing along

I've heard so many different things on that situation that I don't know what to believe. Only thing I know is when Shields and Coleman left, UND said those were the only two off the roster officially. Share tmiller
