the green team Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 It was reported last night on WDAZ that Whitney Ledger, may have suffered a season ending knee injury in practice. She has tests done today. This has been a truly crazy year in regards to injuries. I'm hoping for the best in regards to Whits knee-it would be nice to recieve some good news for a change, when it comes to injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only hope the news today is better for her. If not, this reduces the bench to 3??? Hopfully this is the end of injuries for this season!

UND92,96 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If Ledger isn't ready to go by the start of next season, I wonder who would be the most likely to start in the post--Jenna Gillett, Shyla Kuehl or Katie Houdek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I am not sure if any of them are good alternatives. Not that they won't be good players but they certainly would have little experience.

Not that they won't be good players but they certainly would have little experience. The other alternative is simply to go without a traditional post. It worked pretty well for USD last season. In any event, I don't think there's much question that next year's fortunes are going to depend in large part on how much the freshmen are able to contribute. When you combine the losses of Kimbrough and Guinn, plus the uncertain status of Ledger, Privatsky and LaFrance, some of the freshmen will need to play pretty big roles immediately.

bincitysioux Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I wonder how serious Ledger's injury is. Roebuck said on the coach's show tonight (without offering a name obviously) that they still have one scholarship available for next year, and that they are looking at JC player who stands 6'5". He also said that he is hopeful that Privratsky will be able to play next season. But if not, they have what he said is a very capable point guard coming in who is expected to be a walk-on. If Privratsky is ready, they may redshirt the walk-on. Anyone have any ideas as to who these two players may be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's listed at 6'5", and averages 15 points and 10 rebounds per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess you are correct about Sharkova but it would be surprising to me that a "very capable point guard" at the DI level wouldn't have a scholarship offer from someone. I hope that is fact!

sultan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Does anybody know anything about the Lake Region gal other than her stat line. How good is she? Would she be a catch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible Roebuck was talking about Brittany Peterson, the Iowa guard who apparently committed right after the close of the early signing period? Since she couldn't actually sign a LOI until spring, Roebuck can't mention her by name (not that she'd sign if she's a walk-on). On the other hand, it's hard to believe she'd be a walk-on given her credentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must be getting scholarship $ though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coach daddy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Info, anyone in DL? Pretty athletic, not physical. A legit 6'5 and left handed. Will not be an impact player in DI but could certainly help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Roebuck was in attendance last Wednesday night when Sharkova had 23 points and 18 boards against Williston. It sounds like she could provide some needed insurance if Ledger isn't completely recovered, and would possibly allow for the red-shirting of the freshmen posts.

Insurance would be a fair description of her. She is 6'5 but she is no Crouse, Langen, or Kimbrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I believe UND will have a pretty good team next year, it will be strange (probably) not having a really good low-post scorer. From 1992-93 to 2008-09, there was really only one year without such a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
