SDSU has had success with recruits that played AAU ball for North Tartan.  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.

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.

No but I thought I saw this year she was graduating early and done with basketball.

Such a big frame, too bad there was no one to help her develop.

My feeling would be the time was expired for their time to withdrawal from the portal.

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.

I dont know that helps us. I'd rather see him use it on a portal transfer.  But I see he is very loyal to the athletes that stayed even though a few probbaly could go.

Hutter is building trust.

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 !

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.

Finley Ohnstad has committed to UND. Transfer from Kansas St. 

Is Finley's mother her HS coach that played for U of Minnesota.  Let's create a pipeline.  By the Finley had a offer from the Bison in 2022.  Hutter must have connections.

Her dad Mitch Ohnstad also played for MN.  We played against her last year.  Had a very good hs career.
