[UND Fan]

Two more offerees have made their decision:

PF Nate Gehrig, 6'10”, 220, Waukee (Waukee) IA Verbal to Pepperdine

PG Jayquin McCloud, 6'2”, 170, Chicago (North Community), IL (3 Star - Scout) Verbal to Murray St

This is really frustrating... are we going to get any commits?

I've been wondering the same thing for quite some time. Unless I am missing something we have 6 scholarships to fill after this coming year which accounts for almost 80% of our scoring.

No joke, he's been on the job for almost 2 whole months and hasn't filled all of the open scholarships yet!!! Fire him too.

Nah, you're a little early; the armchair coaches won't be calling for the heads of Coach Jones and staff for a couple months yet.

Any ideas on what the ratio of transfers to freshman will be like? Would guess that they would want at least a couple of transfers to bring in some experience and maturity.

Will need to balance out the classes at some point as well at least if they want to stay towards the top of the conference consistently rather than compete just once or twice every 4-5 year stretch.

Settle down boys. no one needs to be fired....yet

[SWSiouxMN]

I'm not concerned, I'm sure the staff is doing its job. We are still a far ways away from signing day and we have many talented kids who have not made up their minds.

Montana hasn't gotten anyone committed yet, you think they are concerned?

I really hope we can land this Strickland kid from Holy Angels (MN), stick him with Hooker for the next 4 years....

[the green team]

I'm not sure people realize what a coup getting Tyler on transfer was. The kid is a player. He will be a tremendous backcourt mate for Hooker next year and the year to follow. Right now the battle across the nation is for athletic rangey wings, and big strong 4's & 5s that can score and defend. It will be interesting to see how those recruiting battles unfold. Honestly, I feel we have a strong staff who will be able to sell this program. You have a couch who has played professionally in Oliver, a coach with good connections in the Twin Cities, (example,Hooker) in Alhelegbe. We have a new assistant who has experience at high major institution and we've proven in year one that we're not too many pieces away from that bid in the BSC. I'm going to wait and see how everything unfolds, but I think this staff works hard. And I hope their hard work ends up with good rewards.

A couple of recruiting items:

C Kyle McKinley, 6'10', 215 from Stillwater apparently visited UND last weekend.

G Vince Fritz, 6'2" from Overland Park (Blue Valley NW), KS is to visit one of the next two weekends.

I do not know if we have offered either of these kids.

We have offered McKinley but I implied in the above post that he was a senior. He is a junior so he would be a 2015 recruit. He also has an offer from UNC.

I agree it would be outstanding if we landed Stickland as some of the big boys are after him. His mother wants him to play close to home so that likely works in our favor.

[sioux24/7]

Strickland has an offer from The U according to espn so I find it very hard to believe we land him even if his mother wants him to stay close to home. One can hope though.

[sioux24/7]

It appears that we are out on Delshon Strickland. He tweeted "Final 6 No particular order: Minnesota, Auburn, Tulsa, Providence, UTEP, Memphis"

Unfortunate but not surprised at all.

[nodak651]

From VerbalCommitts.com, we have a new offer.

10/8/2013 - JUCO SF Arroyo Edwards (6-5, 190, 2★) has received an offer from North Dakota. - See more at: http://www.verbalcom...h.2TJzCwFZ.dpuf

[forksandspoons]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie-lnDsfXDs looks like he was a 3 star on rivals and took a visit to DePaul... also interest from Baylor, Wisconsin, and Texas.... Must have struggle with grades... Hopefully we land him and he has figured his grades out...

[sioux24/7]

Wheeler Baker committed to Albany today. I was really hoping we would get him.

[UND Fan]

Arroyo averaged 11 points as a JC freshman, shot 37% from the field (33% on 3s) and 78% from the line.

[Hambone]

New offer:

SF Mitchell Hahn, 6'7”, 195, Fremont (Fremont), NE

Showing some interest in:

Here's Cashman's junior highlights:

Everyone he plays against appears to be like a foot shorter than him.

He's from a small school, 50 kids per class, so definitely not an urban school.
