Minnesota Stars and Minnesota Fury seem to be popular AAU teams for recruiting. Makes sense. Many of the top players in MN play for those teams. Quote
ND-fan Posted April 6 Posted April 6 We have seven players returning as of now for next year and I believe Mathern was walk on. This leaves us eight roster spots and possibly 9 scholarship spots for the coming year if Mathern remains walkon which is probably doubtful after her last year. If London Harris is committed we have guard to fill roster spot. Presently we have two guards on the roster Aumer number 2 guard and Volmer point guard but could play two position. We have 4 players that fill the forward positions Mathern, Piekny, Fletchne and Demers who can play 5 but is undersized. Then we have VanderWal post player but plays position in definite role scenarios. We had commitments from Kendal Harvey 5’10” guard from Byron MN, Lauren Hillesheim 5’10 guard from Hopkins Mn these two players were probably recruited for the 2 or 3 position, and finally we Lauren Reardon from Grand Forks to play guard position as perferred walk-on. Adding these players we have 11 roster position filled yet if I haven’t missed recruit. To me we need to find at least two more 5 position players especially one with experience. Second we could use remaining two to three scholarship positions to find experienced guard and best talent available to give us depth on the roster. We have Fricke point guard coming year after in next year and we will be graduating 3 seniors after next year. There is possibility we could still couple of transfers might return but I think the clock is running out on that scenario not often coach take back players fully committed to program when they are taking this long decide. I think several of these players may have finished their playing careers giving up chance to get education paid for. Quote

It appears VanderWal is returning. Hutter said something about three seniors at the press conference. Aumer and Demers are obviously two of them. By process of elimination, VanderWal must be the third. Quote

But I see he is very loyal to the athletes that stayed even though a few probbaly could go. 1 Quote

forksandspoons Posted Thursday at 07:12 PM Posted Thursday at 07:12 PM No idea who it could be, but there was an offer out to Elizabeth Puot from a very good Kirkwood CC team. She averaged 12.8 ppg on 58% shooting and 7.4 rebounds per game this season. 6’ 1” forward Quote
southpaw Posted Thursday at 09:22 PM Posted Thursday at 09:22 PM Based on recent history, that just means a player on the team is leaving. 1 Quote

NewUndFan Posted Thursday at 11:16 PM Posted Thursday at 11:16 PM Awesome pick up ! I like which direction he is going after recruits! That's how you recruit! Get a good freshman on a good power 4 team that maybe thinks they aren't getting the minutes. I wish the men's team did this ! 3 Quote
ND-fan Posted Thursday at 11:58 PM Posted Thursday at 11:58 PM This appears to be good recruit that has size and listed at guard should be able to play in 3 or 4 spot.Hutter is looking for talent that can step in play right away like it that he wants to compete right away. It will be interesting who he bring in next to round out this roster. 3 Quote
