jdub27 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Not technically in the 2013-2014 class, but Carson Shanks, 7-0 C originally from Apple Valley, MN who was red-shirting at Utah State has left their program. He is looking at transferring closer to home. We had an offer out to him in high school. 1 Quote

southpaw Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I'm assuming he would have to sit out a year so he would be able to play in January 2015 if he decided to come to UND for the second semester. He would then have 3 1/2 years of eligibility left. Quote

He would then have 3 1/2 years of eligibility left. That is how I interpreted it as well. Likely why he is transferring now instead of the end of the season, only costs him half a season instead of a full one. Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 That would be a huge get if we can get him here. Cupboard's gonna be pretty bare on the front line next year. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Shanks visited Minnesota yesterday. Quote
Hambone Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Shanks visited Minnesota yesterday. I've got it from a pretty good source that UND has about a 50% chance of landing Shanks. I believe he is definitely going to be visiting UND although I'm not sure when. Quote

He's going to be a Gopher once admitted. Quote
jdub27 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like DJ Davis committed to UNC. Wiki says he was a player of interest for UND and UNC was his only offer. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 UND commit, Geno Crandall, congratulated DJ Davis for his commitment on twitter: Congrats to my brother @DejonJumpman committing to Northern Colorado. Lookin forward to playin against this cake for years to come. #BigSky DJ responded with: @Geno25Crandall lol they just beat UND by 22 Hopefully Geno can help change that outcome either next year or the following depending on if he redshirts. 1 Quote
UND-1 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 @RyanJamesMN: 7-ft Carson Shanks, the Utah State transfer, is here as a Gopher guest once again. He's going to be a Gopher once admitted. Not so fast my friend. UND may be in it still. Not confirmed though but he is at Betty right now. Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Shanks is enrolling in the spring. We'll have him for the Big Sky season next year. Quote
homer Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Shanks is enrolling in the spring. We'll have him for the Big Sky season next year. Really? Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Source is good. He'll be in classes this week. Quote
Sampson Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 http://blogs.twincities.com/gophers/2014/01/11/gophers-basketball-utah-state-7-foot-transfer-carson-shanks-waiting-to-be-admitted/ Looks like UofM admittance has first crack at him. Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I was told as of last night he was not able to get in to Minnesota. Quote
Sampson Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Would be great get for UND. Sounds like NDSU wasn't even on him, which is sad considering their returning "bigs". Quote
homer Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Would be great get for UND. Sounds like NDSU wasn't even on him, which is sad considering their returning "bigs". If he comes to UND, FU wasn't interested. Never gets old Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Did NDSU offer out of high school? Quote
Sampson Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 NDSU did not offer out of HS that I'm aware of. Sounds like Utah St really tried hard to get him to stay and he has improved significantly. Would be curious why NDSU wasn't interested, they will be sorely lacking any inside presence. The Bismarck kid will never play an impact role at the D1 level and they're only other returning big in Kading is there to steal minutes only. Quote
Hambone Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I will tell you that when Shanks was going to transfer, I was told he was 75% sure he was going to UND - mainly because of his friendship and wanting to play with Hooker. Then the Gophers came calling and it was hard for him to turn down a possibility to play in the Big Ten - although I'm told he was completely torn between UND and UofM. I don't believe he had any interest in NDSU - it was UND or U of M. Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 My source did say he'd go to Minnesota if admitted but at this point it'd have to be a Shobert to Wisconsin situation but even later in the game since he's already in Grand Forks. Quote
