UND92,96 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 It's just one person's opinion, but here is a list of the top-30 players from the class of 2005 in Minnesota. I'm a little surprised that Probst didn't make the list. Quote
UND Fan Posted July 7, 2005 Author Posted July 7, 2005 It's just one person's opinion, but here is a list of the top-30 players from the class of 2005 in Minnesota. I'm a little surprised that Probst didn't make the list. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Although Probst may turn out to be a fine player, he definitely is a "project". It may be 2-3 years but he could become a real contributor. Is it common knowledge that Jared Wells will not be back this upcoming year? There was some confusion about his having another year of eligibility due to both a redshirt year and a season of injuries. Bottom line - he has no elibilgity left and the NCAA has rejected our request for another year. This certainly does not help our depth under the basket! Quote

Regarding Probst, I'm definitely not expecting too much out of him, but my point was that a good case could be made that a 6'5"-6'6" wing player who is apparently a very good 3-point shooter, who averaged over 20 ppg during both his junior and senior years, and who scored more than 1,800 career points should be considered among the top-30 players in Minnesota's class of 2005. Any news on Bledsoe? Quote

legend334 Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 hot off the presses....Bledsoe got into school....great get for the UND MBB team...now its onto big men for next year...no more worries about guards for a while!!!! good work RH!!!!! Quote
UND92,96 Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Does anybody know whether Shawn Swan will be back this season? Have there been any personnel losses other than Wells? Quote
UND Fan Posted July 13, 2005 Author Posted July 13, 2005 Does anybody know whether Shawn Swan will be back this season? Have there been any personnel losses other than Wells? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Swan wants to come back despite his scholarship being pulled. He also may have some eligibility issues. In my opinion, the team would be better off without him - but he is saying all the right things, etc. - he may be back! Quote
UND92,96 Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 This is kind of old news, but I see where one-time UND recruiting target Kori Vernon decided to stay close to home and attend Wisconsin-Whitewater. link. Quote
UND92,96 Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 With Bledsoe now in the fold, that means that UND got the two highest-ranking Minnesota players out of this top 30 list who didn't go division I. Bledsoe is ranked 10th, and Andy Wills 13th. With Blackwell also being pretty highly-regarded, and Probst perhaps being a project but one with a very accomplished high school career, this has the potential to be one of the better groups of high school recruits UND has had in awhile. Probably the best since the Mustard/Reinke/Travis group. Now if only a couple of talented big guys could be found next year... Quote
UND92,96 Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 From Frank Fee's weekly column: Brady Borslien is going to try and walk-on at the University of North Dakota in BASKETBALL. We thought he was going to walk-on in football at UND, but now it Quote
UND92,96 Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Here's an article about another walk-on for the men's basketball team. Quote
UND Fan Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 Here's an article about another walk-on for the men's basketball team. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The coaches feel that, with a lot of hard work, Lehnertz may be contributor in a couple of years. Quote
UND Fan Posted September 8, 2005 Author Posted September 8, 2005 Three bits of info regarding this year's team: 1) Lamar Phillips, the JC recruit has left school after only one or two days on campus. Who knows, that may be a good thing if he had an attitude problem! 2) Koenig had some minor surgery on his good knee and may not be able to go full tilt at the start of practice. That is a bad thing! 3) Shawn Swan is not back - that is a good thing!! Quote

wcbsas Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 http://www.wbby.com/cgi/scoopdisp.cgi?scoop_id=237 Another kid who is visiting. I suspect he is vying for a preferred walk-on position in '06-'07. The 6'9" kid/teammate mentioned in the article also is on ND's radar I believe. Quote
bincitysioux Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Good to see that FSSN will broadcast some basketball games again this year. 3 men's and 2 women's games. IMHO they should televise all confernce games on cable. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...pic=1583&st=620 http://www.midcocomm.com/editable_content/...hedule0506.html Quote

I guess WI-GB's practice floor has a concrete base that is hard on the knees. I was also told that he is much happier at UND than at GB and is considering playing football (i.e. Mustard) after he's done with basketball. Quote
spfreak Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) I saw the men's game tonight and it was the same old bad team. A couple of questions though: What is up with the buzzer going off at the worst possible times, do we not have anyone that knows how to work the buzzer? Also did the Sioux ever recruit #21 Hensley (spelling?)? He was amazing with his jumping ability. Another question is what was with all of the in fighting going on in the first half with Doyle and Nobles? I wonder what others thought of our performance, or lack there of, tonight.

choyt3 Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Also did the Sioux ever recruit #21 Hensley (spelling?)? He was amazing with his jumping ability. The Sioux did not recruit Hensley. He fell into the lap of MSU-Moorhead, according to this article. Quote
