ND-fan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The firing of Todd Lee at South Dakota there are some references to Bruns in their forums there may have been may have been some questionable recruiting for Bruns. This may be just talk but i did see where we had both offers to Bruns younger brother also. Now we have McGrath transferring a redshirt freshman after consuming scholarship for us this past year and saving his eligibility to develop him and get him ready when we were playing short handed most second half of the year needing additional front court help doesn't make much since. This is just getting messier and messier as it goes along here with this whole program. The worst is silence from UND and even our local media there are hardly any coverage on what's happening or explanations for why we are loosing some our best recruits year in and year out. Does anybody know what going on it always seems there's group around Grand Forks that knows what going on but rest of us left to guessing and just accept what's happening when they choose communicate to world if ever. I just don't see how they are going to build a fan following without getting the fans involved in the program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how they are going to build a fan following without getting the fans involved in the program. You may ask “well, why did we recruit him then?” after reading my comments. That would be a very good question!! I don’t think the BB coaching staff is losing any sleep over McGrath leaving. In fact, I bet they are happy to have another scholarship available. I also think that McGrath may realize he is in over his head trying to play D1 ball. We will know if I am right 2-3 years from now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFan100 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Looks like we are going to have another rough ugly season end in sight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND-fan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Then if UND basketball staff in not loosing sleep over loosing Mcgrath why then did we not pull his redshirt when we were playing short at front line on this team durning the season. We had several games where we were in foul trouble needing additional height and he surely could have full filled that roll and if not then our problem is much bigger than i think on recognizing talent. I don't believe the former so i have to think we have other problems like i have said before and i wonder where the AD and administration is on this and like usually we hear nothing. Where are the alumni and booster club they usually are weighing in on things behind the scenes. Usually somebody takes hit on what we have experienced in last two seasons and so far nothing has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been recent examples of UND turning it around after one awful season. Have 3 scholarships to play with. Eaglestaff and Omot are coming in. Get Levias and Nero healthy, Sueker hopefully coming back and healthy. Development from Grant, T, Mathews, and Norman will be important.

Kab Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Reading articles about eaglestaff a lot of why he chose Und is its close so his mother can watch him play. Also he wants to carry on the legacy of his uncle at Und. He seems to have thought this thru and I commend him for that. I hope the transition to d1 basketball will be easy for him. I’m sure the staff will be working with him this summer to get him ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
