2014-2015 Recruiting

[Hambone]

Figured we could start a new thread for this.

According to Ryan James on twitter, UND has offered 2015 PG JT Gibson out of Champlin Park.

[UND Fan]

I thought I posted this but, if so, it was on the wrong thread....

UND has offered C Kyle McKiinley, a 6'10", 215 prospect from Stillwater, MN He also has an offer from UNC but he is starting to get a lot of attention.

[UND Fan]

It was mentioned on the SU thread that a couple of Williston State players were at the game. I assume one of them was Houston Lavachek, a 6'9" forward from Glenburn, ND. He has grown 3-4 inches over the last year and a lot of folks are starting to pay attention to him. He played guard his first couple of years in HS before he really starting growing. He is starting for Williston and has played the second-most minutes on the team averaging 14+ points per game on the 8-1 team and shooting 40+% on his 3's.

He did not play summer AAU ball so, along with his late growth, he probably was overlooked by many teams.

He was a qualifier so he can transfer after his freshman year if he chooses. I am not sure if CC freshmen qualifiers can be officially recruited or not. If anyone has some knowledge on this, please provide some insight. It sure sounds like he would be a great addition to the program.

The one situation like this I can recall was when Durene Heisler transferred from Lake Region to UND after her freshman year. Of course, that was a pretty unique recruiting situation given Roebuck was making the same move at the same time.

I think this might be considered beyond 2014-2015, but I believe Reed Nikko of Mape Grove and Net Gain Sports has an offer. He is a 6'9" sophomore. Opened his season with a triple double. Other WSC player with Lavachek was Tre Burnette.

I feel like we have a really good shot at McKinley judging by some of his tweets.

Northern Arizona PG has left the team. Looks like he was a pretty good player but may have some personality issues. Wonder if we'd have some interest......

Edit: Looks like he's transferring to Grand Canyon University. A for-profit school in the WAC.

Burnette has nice size for a guard (6'5"). Any idea if he is DI material? If so, who is looking at him?

Holy cow, at first when I saw your post, I thought it was Gabe Rogers, which would have been a ginormous loss for the Lumberjacks. Russell showed promise, though, and did drop 21 on us in that infamous game at The Betty last year in February. He only scored 7 when we went down to Flagstaff earlier in 2012-2013 season.

Do not know much on his recruitment currently. Had at least 1 D1 offer out of high school. Played for Playground Elite which has a penchant for D1 players, as does WSC.

UND recruit Geno Crandall of Minneapolis DeLaSalle is playing in the Minnesota State Championship game tonight at 6:00. He is a good one.

Is this game televised in the GF area on the same channel as the MN state hockey tournament?

[UND92,96]

You can watch the De La Salle game now on midco channel 322.

Kretchman kid from Davies is best guard out of N.Dak. In a long time. Only 5' 11" but has quick release, quick first step and is smart. If we have some extra $. We could take a chance on him. I think they said he was going to Moorhead State. Kid can shoot. Not sure how quick he is or if he can play D at this level but he was fun to watch.

Nice story about Crandall

Sounds like Crandall is the type of player we need.

He would be a nice get.... wishful thinking I know

[siouxfan68]

Today is the first day of the regular signing period. Do we expect any additions to MBB in the next couple of days?

[UND92,96]

The Coleman signing is now official: http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=209469290

Not technically recruiting, but probably relevant since Tom Miller did indicate that UND was looking at a transfer. List of players intending on transferring over the summer:

Although likely not pertinent, I don't recognize any of the names as players we recruited out of HS.

Hate to nitpick but possible transfers and Crandall, Cashman, and Coleman should be discussed in the 2013-2014 Recruiting thread. This ones meant for current high school juniors.

[choyt3]

Then, if a transfer is coming in that will have only a senior year of eligibility remaining after sitting out a year, would discussion on that player belong in a 2010-11 thread? Or a 2011-12 thread? Are we assuming the player redshirted right out of high school?

You are correct - this thread should be for next year's recruiting!

Yeah why don't you go post on those ones.
