UND Fan Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 A couple of different sites has a small forward from Houston Baptist transferring to UND. Dustin Hobaugh, 6'4", 190 from League City, TX, played as a true freshman this past season. He averaged 4 PPG and 2.5 RPG while playing an average of 15 minutes. This certainly could be a misprint - anyone know anything about this? Quote
sioux24/7 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 On twitter he tweeted "I'll never ever say I hate LC because I love it, but nights like this make me THAT much more excited to head off to North Dakota in August." Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I assume he will have to redshirt this year. And he may or may not be guaranteed any scholarship money, just looking for a chance. But he would have 2 years left after the big bubble of players. Quote
dakotadan Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 http://www.hbuhuskies.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=857&path=mbball The only thing that I don't understand is that he is from Texas, playing for a Texas school that will be joining a Texas-based league. Why would he be coming to UND? Either way, welcome to Dustin. Quote

jdub27 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 It looks like he is interested in aviation. Pretty good reason to come to UND I guess. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 He updated his twitter bio with Future hooper/aviation student at U of North Dakota! Quote

sioux2013 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 One of the best reasons to come from Texas to UND. Aviation is a great reason to come to UND, but his basketball numbers do not look very good. We dont have any scholarships for next year, unless someone else is leaving the program we dont know about and we will only have 3 scholarships available the following year and I dont see him playing much at all that year either. His numbers last year were 32% fg and only 20% from 3 and 67% from the line and only 8 assists and 18 turnovers. He was 10th in minutes on a team that was not very good, winning only 10 games. I would hope one of our 3 scholarships after next year would go to somebody better. Maybe he will just be a 2 year walk-on. Maybe he will turn out fine and I hope I am wrong but now being in the Big Sky we need to build and recruit players better than what we got and I dont see this with him. He scored 2 pts against us in 2 games. Quote

NODAK13 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Well he's got most of the team beat on this one! Put him in at the end of games when the other team is fouling!! Good one. That is true. His FT% is better than almost everyone on the team, so sad. Quote

Who knows, he may make good strides in his having a year off to mature/improve - he may be a contributor down the line. Quote
