UND92,96 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 It appears we can expect LOI's from Blackwell and Wills for the men, and Kayla Baagason for the women. Still no word on Kimbrough's intentions. Any word on other potential signees? Quote
UND Fan Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 It appears we can expect LOI's from Blackwell and Wills for the men, and Kayla Baagason for the women. Still no word on Kimbrough's intentions. Any word on other potential signees? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As previous posts have noted, the men have an offer out to Cory Vernon of Madison. He probably will stay closer to home. I believe an offer is also out to Jeff Probst, a 6'6" forward from Moose Lake, MN. They hope to convince Gunhus to walk on. We have lots of players at the 2 or 3 position. The search for a big man will likely not take place until spring when they know who will be eligible to go DI and who will who need to go DII. Quote
Corella Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 This posted today, courtesy of Wills commitment story Andy Wills Commits to the University of North Dakota Andy Wills By Errol Carlstrom Andy Wills, the former Pulley Panther who is in his senior year at Mankato-West, has decided to attend the University of North Dakota. The 6-6 Wills said that UND offered him a basketball scholarship at the end of the summer and he took his official visit 2-weeks ago and then committed. The facilities at UND are amazing and the coaching staff, lead by head coach Rich Glass reminds me of my high school staff, they are all really cool, Andy said. The campus is beautiful and compact with trees galore, Andy continued. I plan to major in education, coaching and maybe business too. I had a fantastic visit where we attended both UND vs. Gopher hockey games. The atmosphere was great and my future teammates were really fun to be with. Andy wanted to make sure his Pulley experience was mentioned. I loved playing for the Panther’s and playing against all the high profile Nike circuit talent. It made me a better player. I also enjoyed visiting all the great places we played, like Las Vegas, New York, New Orleans, etc. Andy Wills is the son of Randy & Cheryl Wills and he has 4-brothers, Jake, Ben, Matt & Dan. Thank you, Randy & Cheryl for supporting the Panther's this past summer. We really appreciate it. Also, hopefully there are a couple more players like Andy in that group that will play for the Panthers some day. Congratulations Andy, all of us wish you the best in basketball and academics during your senior year and at UND next year. Quote
BadgerFan Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 The campus is beautiful and compact with trees galore, Andy continued. Ya gotta love a kid who thinks that ND has "trees galore" Wills should do well with the Sioux...he's probably not done growing yet either : Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Ya gotta love a kid who thinks that ND has "trees galore"Â Campus actually has a significant number of trees. Of course, that there are more trees on campus than in the rest of Grand Forks County is a whole other story. Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Posted November 10, 2004 It looks to me like there may be some positive signs regarding Kimbrough's decision. One, there was a recruiting article in the Des Moines paper in which Iowa division I women's programs' recruiting was discussed, and her name was not mentioned as being part of the Iowa St.'s expected five-person recruiting class. Two, there was a list of expected dI signees from the state of Minnesota in the Star-Tribune, and although there were a couple of Iowa St. commitments, she was not listed as one of them. Hopefully we get some good news in the next couple of days. Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Posted November 10, 2004 Here's the official press release regarding the signings of Blackwell and Wills: link. It sounds like both should be very good additions to the program. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 It appears we can expect LOI's from Blackwell and Wills for the men, .... Do you give predictions on lottery numbers too? http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/mbball...RELEASE_ID=3317 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 ... Kayla Baagason for the women. Still no word on Kimbrough's intentions. Any word on other potential signees? Commence smiling. http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/wbball...RELEASE_ID=3318 Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Posted November 10, 2004 Wow. This is quite a class Roebuck and staff have put together, needless to say. With Guinn and Langen already starters as freshmen, and with this group coming in, UND should be well-stocked for several years. Quote
UND Fan Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Commence smiling. http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/wbball...RELEASE_ID=3318 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That really great news and I have commenced smiling. Getting Kimbrough is a real coup for the program. The other two recruits are also very talented. The ladies may be filling up the Betty next year! Quote
ethanm Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 I know it's now basketball, but there is an article about Bagaason and the Fosston volleyball team going to state in the Forum today. Fosston hopes for another chance at title Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 18, 2004 Author Posted November 18, 2004 UND adds another men's recruit: link. He was apparently an AAU teammate of Andy Wills with the Howard Pulley team. Between signing these two, and Bo Powell being one of the Pulley coaches, hopefully this pipeline can continue as some very good players go through that program. Quote
