sioux24/7 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 So he would be out until the second semester of next year right? Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Yes. Just like Dyer for the women this year. Quote
UND-1 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 So next January the inside guys will go 6-9, 6-9, 6-10, 7-0. Not bad. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 So is this a 100% going to happen put it in the bank thing? I don't want to start celebrating this until its fact and going to happen Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Tom Miller @tommillergf 7-footer Carson Shanks was at the Betty today to take in UND-Weber hoops. Utah State transfer who many expected to go to Gophers. Stay tuned From Grand Forks, ND, United States Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I figured I would have spotted a 7 footer in attendance but didn't see him anywhere. Must have been behind me or something. Quote
NODAK13 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 So is this a 100% going to happen put it in the bank thing? I don't want to start celebrating this until its fact and going to happen It's confirmed from what I have heard. He was sitting near the coaches wife at mid court across from the scorers table. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 In that case.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0ttEbPycDs Now go get Ngor! 2 Quote
NODAK13 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Now what the coaches need to do is go out and find players with less athletic ability and ones that understand fundamentals and play unselfish basketball and then we will have a very good basketball team. 1 Quote
southpaw Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Now what the coaches need to do is go out and find players with less athletic ability and ones that understand fundamentals and play unselfish basketball and then we will have a very good basketball team. Why does an unselfish player have to have less athletic ability? Quote
UNDBB75 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 He was at the game as he was sitting in my seat when I got there. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 don't get your hopes up Got some connections to the basketball team too? Quote
gfhockey Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 no I just know a few people jones isn't a good ole boy never is and never was and never will be Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 no I just know a few people jones isn't a good ole boy never is and never was and never will be And they are saying that Shanks is not coming here? Quote
petey23 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I figured I would have spotted a 7 footer in attendance but didn't see him anywhere. Must have been behind me or something. Well if his dad is also around 7-0, I am pretty sure I saw him at halftime today. Quote
sioux2013 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Heard from a very reliable source he is enrolled and begins classes on Monday. I would guess he would also be practicing with the team beginning Monday. Quote
homer Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 That is good to hear. Hopefully he's in Grand Forks come Monday. Quote
bincitysioux Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 How much eligibility does Shanks have left? Quote
SiouxScore Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I wouldn't count on Shanks to UND, here is an interview he just did on Friday and it sounds like he is pretty confident he will be a Gopher unless he doesn't get admitted and that would be pretty surprising based on what I've heard about him. http://www.gopherhole.com/news_article/show/326556?referrer_id=388419 Quote
UND-1 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I wouldn't count on Shanks to UND, here is an interview he just did on Friday and it sounds like he is pretty confident he will be a Gopher unless he doesn't get admitted and that would be pretty surprising based on what I've heard about him. http://www.gopherhole.com/news_article/show/326556?referrer_id=388419 Why was he at UND game with his Dad on Saturday? Didnt get admitted to UM. Quote
SiouxScore Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Why was he at UND game with his Dad on Saturday? Didnt get admitted to UM. I don't know could be lots of reasons maybe he just wanted a free trip to experience a game, maybe he wanted to watch a friend on the team? Maybe he ends up not getting admitted to Minnesota but the interview was on Friday and in the interview he said he should know later this week but I wouldn't think they would let him know on a Saturday and he would quickly schedule a trip to UND that same day. I would guess that UND is his fall back option if he doesn't get in but that he probably doesn't know yet if he has or has not actually been admitted. Quote

He needs to decide by then to get admitted, enrolled in classes, etc. Also, the interview was from Thursday. He must have found out Friday and let UND know. He cannot sit around and wait for a school that starts later because if he does not get admitted he will not play at all next season. Quote
