ND-fan Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I don't think FCS for basketball could be that far from happening if were going to see where major schools and conferences can get kids out the mid major programs. What we have here is minor league system developing for basketball to pro teams. The Major conferences teams are like triple A teams of baseball. Mid-majors are like double AA and A teams in Baseball. The lower division of basketball are just like rookie leagues where only very few will ever play any kind of professional basketball. The only thing keeping this from happening is television giving big money for the tournament but if viewing public comes to see the opening rounds of tournament as non factors in whole of the tournament and ratings decline you will see whole different format develop for college basketball. When you are already seeing colleges like UND loosing players to big schools when these rule changes start occurring the movement of players each year is going to increase with schools like UND made up mostly of Freshman and Sophomores with highly talented kids just developing their skills until big program takes them . The old idea of kids getting education from basketball will not be priority of a lot of kids playing college basketball it will be if they can develop enough to play professional basketball some place. The day where colleges and coaches had all the control is ending and players are going to get a bigger slice of pie is going to happen and probably so these players are producing large scale of revenue and should receive equity in that revenue. When college coaches are now being paid millions of dollars a year in major programs plus these same colleges are netting also millions of dollars for their schools plus advertising to grow their schools its not unreasonable for these athletes to be getting cut out the pie in the future. I just think for schools like UND and many others it will come down to how much they want to invest in their sports programs in the future at what level do these schools will be able to compete at. The only program is UND hockey which is major college in that sport and is one of the top schools in that sport where they should be able continue to compete at division 1 level. The college sports like Football and basketball I could see where schools consider what level they are going to compete because they will not be able to draw revenue and if players are able to move each year and if they have to provide income to get players it may become to costly to continue to compete at Division one level. I agree with previous poster that times are really changing and nobody knows where this going to end up at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see where you are coming from with this, it could also have been possible for some of those players to leave and go elsewhere. Honestly, I think he would have stayed.

Jones gets grief for going to Latvia-Lithuania but a perennial winning program like Gonzaga does it almost every year. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Lithuanian-star-Martynas-Arlauskas-turns-down-professional-options-commits-to-Gonzaga-122244716/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the 2018-19 recruiting year pertains to the timeframe when a recruit can sign with a school. In BB, there is a signing period in November and another the next April.

sioux24/7 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We have one more spot open in this class correct? With only Eikens so far coming in and we lose Seales and Avants. I know people have mentioned it would be nice to get a true PG on this team (Jamal Webb). Any PGs to watch for or any other position?
