SWSiouxMN Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Its never too early to start the discussion of next year. Provided no serious defections from the team, the 2016-17 squad will have some big expectations and a very talented team on paper. Consider this potential -UND will bring back all 5 starters from last year -UND will bring back their 3 key bench pieces -They will add Baker into their already deep and talented frontcourt -If Cashman gets back to playing, the Center position gets shored up a little. UND will probably open in a top 4 position in the preseason Big Sky polls. It will be a battle between UND, Idaho, Weber, and Montana for the Big Sky crown next year. I'm not quite sure on the scheduling practices of the Big Sky, but this could be the year we only get the Montanas once and Idaho/EWU once. My way too early prediction of a starting lineup Geno Hooker Seales Drick Shanks Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Strengthening Shanks body up could take this team to a new level. Quote
darell1976 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Any talk on what next years schedule looks like, besides playing in Fargo, possibly at their new arena. I hope they can get more Summit teams like South Dakota SDSU, Omaha and Denver. Dump the DII's and get some DI teams in. Its sad to get a respectable team like UNI in they have to do a 3 in 1 type series but since we are small fish in the eyes of the CBB world I guess that will be the norm. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Well apparently Adam McDermott is leaving. Damn. McDermott retweeted above tweet. Quote

They are a pretty big deal the past several years. I'd be very happy to see them on any schedule. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 So that opens one schollie correct? Go get Amar Miller coach. Kid is good. I know we are already very deep in the guard area but I want him on our team. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted March 28, 2016 Author Posted March 28, 2016 Well so much for my theory.... lets hope it stays to a minimum. Quote

SiouxVolley Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Isn't Keinan Walter a 3pt shooter but with height? Does Wheeler Baker have a high 3pt %? Quote
LDL Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Will be nice when recruits can redshirt before playing. Should cut down on departures if they know it will cost them a season. 1 Quote
CMSioux Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Wish him the best but he knows more than we do what Wheeler Baker will bring next year. It was fun to watch him and loved that he had the number 3, but he was pretty specialized. Not seeing how you can spin this into it being Jones's fault but some will try. 1 Quote

nodak651 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Adam McLeaving - .189 3pt attempts per minute -- 11.34 attempts per 60 Wheeler Baker - .223 3pt attempts per minute -- 13.38 attempts per 60 Looks like Baker may be better at getting open for threes, although his percentage is 37.6% compared to McLeaving at 40.9%. He could just take more contested shots, though. Quote
homer Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 It's too bad. McDermotts basketball IQ was high and he was nice to have in the floor in key situations. Best of luck to him. 1 Quote
hoops44 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Probably not big on playing the 3, Baker probably slightly ahead of him at the 2...that being said he was getting serious minutes as a frosh ..Not a good bet to get more PT at UNI. a top notch Mo. Valley team... That along with Drake did not offer him.. Doubt if he will have much too chose from at the D1 level unless he starts as a PWO......Maybe Augustana Quote

Riley Dearing is a MPLS. kid who left Wisc and maybe looking to drop in class. With the ability to offer full cost of attendance I would expect a solid pick up Quote
