Tranfer portal is here at college basketball.  How many quality transfers want to play for a team that has had single digit wins the past 2 seasons and is looking to do that again this year and looking to finish last in the conference 2 years in a row?  

Look at Western Illinois.

Bingo.  They were in a far worse spot that UND and in 3 years under Jeter, find themselves back near the top of the Summit.

Extension?  simple question 

Extension?  I hope not but I wouldn't be surprised either.   I heard yesterday that NDSU secretly extended their coach last summer and that program is nothing to brag about.  The Bison lost to both SDSU and USD this weekend.   Maybe Chaves is smarter.

Those 2 teams can hold Nelson down, shows where UND needs to get better at.

was surprised that forum guys didn’t know about that extension or maybe they didn’t want to ask 

Chaves may well give an extension at the end of this season

2015 -19-20 made it to the dance.

It was a bad take by Hawkster. We would love to have the success NDSU has had.

Don’t want to get excited about beating another NET 300 ranked team. It was fun to watch a game where we were clearly the better team on the floor though. A lot of winnable games down the stretch here that would make things interesting

This.  Everyone but ORU and maybe SDSU suck this year.  The fact that we have 2 conf wins, given the state of the Summit this year, says a lot.

I know a few NDSU grads who complain constantly about Richman and how he's a worthless coach.   Seems to me there used to a thread on Bisonville as well about Richman running the team into the ground.   It always looked like he wasn't universally loved by many.

They do consistently complain about him but he’s had a pretty successful run. Starts slow a lot but picks it up in conference season play and the conference tournament.

And he'll leave and the program will likely fall back into the abyss because he didn't build anything.
Look at Missouri State's FB program. Petrino tried to do the same thing before he bolted. And then bolted again a few weeks later. And MSU's football program is going to continue to struggle.

Absolutely need to use the transfer portal to plug holes. But it isn't going to build into long-term success if that is the plan.
What they are doing now isn't working either and they are trying to adjust. Easier said than done, otherwise it would work for everyone....

Not our decision, gonna happen or not happen, just starts a whole new string of everything that has already been posted ad naseum. 

ad nauseam adverb

IIf someone discusses something ad nauseam, they talk about it so much that it becomes very boring:

I don't understand anyone majorly defending Sather through all of this. He hasn't done anything during his time here. 9-17 with maybe one more win left on the schedule.

People can talk about the transfer portal all the want, but every team in the league and the country has to face the transfer portal. They can talk about not having the players with the size or physical play like other teams. The coach recruits these kids, if he can't get them to stay or develop them or have them game ready, that is on him.

Not saying it is an easy job, or that everything is within Sather's control, and that's not always fair BUT after multiple years of this has he done anything to EARN and extension? 

I'm not a basketball fan, so it doesn't make a huge difference to me, but I do enjoy when UND has a good year. Gives me something else to follow casually and watch. Definitely been a few years since I've been able to do that.

(Hoping the win over Denver sets a tone for a the hockey series this weekend! :) )

This team definitely has talent though is the only issue. With a different coach and a different system we are a middle of the pack Summit team. Sather absolutely needs to go, but they need to try keep Omot, Eaglestaff, Brooks, and Norman for sure.

The new NIL agreement in college sports will forever change the landscape. It will be hard as hell to hold onto high talent moving forward.  Greisel from NDSU was given $250K when he signed with Nebraska last year, Scheierman from SDSU was given around 500K when he signed with Creighton.  That's big money- life changing for most college athletes.  Cant imagine what Grant Nelson will be offered after this year, certainly more than what Nodak Insurance is paying him.  Omot has a high ceiling and I am sure big offers will be coming his way.  Realistically, what keeps him around here???

Gophers should have offered him last year then.  I'm sure Dave and Ben have been aware of him.
