If that’s the case, I believe we have 2 open scholarships then. Sueker and Nero for sure gone and then assuming Danielson plus Ndouko not making it and only 2 scholarship players coming in.

gfhockey Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I wouldn’t mind Danielson back he’s the heart and soul and provides better culture than anyone in the men’s hockey team does 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but I would imagine he is a good locker room guys as well and always helps having that experience on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if BJ goes to Minnesota.. while his ppg average is impressive for a freshman.. his percentages are not. And he doesn't have the body for the Big 10. Plus they are going to need impact guys that are ready to go right now. Could a valley school try to scoop him up? Probably... Does he even want to leave?? who knows!!? Matt and T are interesting because normally JUCO sophomores have 2 years and they are out but the covid years throw a new wrinkle into that... Brady could be done or he could play another year... with everything going on with his dad, who knows what he decides to do. Do reid and jahni want to stay and be 9-10 on the roster?? Could they go D2 and play?? I can see 2-3 guys leaving because that is pretty normal attrition that happens to every team... regardless of who that is.. UND probably needs to get JUCO or 4 year transfers to fill that void. I’m just going to focus on this part of your post. I, like everyone here, really hope BJ stays. The guy could develop into an absolute force in the Summit. I think he could be a real good player in the Valley too. Like you said, he has a ways to go to be an impact player in the B1G. After last year, I would have said I hope T transfers because he was very replaceable. At the beginning of this year, I had similar thoughts anytime Norman did anything besides shoot 3s. Shows why I’m not on the coaching staff and also how much both these two improved. Having both return next year would be huge. I would guess T does but Norman will be interesting to see whether he tries to find a role on a bigger school or maybe he just hangs them up. Brady falls into the same boat for me as I would love to have him back but he may just be ready. Reid Grant just isn’t a D1 player. He’s a nice PG with good vision but he belongs at the D2 level. There’s no shame in that. Think Levias could become a reliable bench player in the Summit with a full offseason of health but could find a lot of success moving down as well. I believe he’s around 21 or so as a redshirt freshman. I will go ahead and assume we will have at least two scholarships available. I think everyone on here can agree that we need an actual 5 and a PG. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a huge part of why our defense has been so bad all year. There is 0 rim protection at all. Teams can get whatever they want at the rim which then opens up the 3's for them. Need to address that glaring issue this offseason. Need to find some sort of backup PG or someone that can create some competition for the starting PG spot over the offseason. I have no doubt that we can be a good team in the Summit with Trent as our PG, but competition for that starting spot over the offseason is never a bad thing! At worst that competition pushes Trent to work on his weaknesses over the offseason and you get a solid backup out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been nice this season to have a Rebraca and an Ihenacho to fill those gaps. Two completely different scenarios, but this team is a whole lot different with those two on the roster.

If this was a competitive UND team, I may understand the concept. But c'mon. What has this team/program shown in the last handful of years that would really make someone not consider other options? I'm not saying it is right. I am old school and think if a school is giving you an opportunity and an education, you should be grateful for it and show up ready to work for 4 years, but that just isn't the way it is right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of who had proved they could make a difference in the league. Wishful thinking more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following Rebraca fairly closely at Iowa and, as far as I can tell, he's started every game, usually leads the team in rebounding, and there's been at least a time or two where he's lead the team in scoring. I'm guessing that he would have meant another 4-5 wins to our squad each of the last two seasons. Just wishful thinking, water under the bridge, yada, yada, yada, but sometimes it's fun to speculate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateral move (right now) and no shot at the dance. If he wants to be closer to home, may as well go to Northern Iowa. Still 3 hours away from Mankato but closer, better conference and a chance to make the dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t make sense to me why a team moving up needs to wait so long to make the tournament. Now in D2 when teams move down that makes sense but this just seems to unfairly hurt those schools.
