2023-2024 Season

So lets run a though exercise here:  Say the denial happens. 

-You still have King, who will get the bulk of the minutes at the point, but after that looks dicey.  Perhaps a direction to look at would be Eaglestaff running the show when King is not on the floor.  Maybe this is an area where Brooks can carve out a role for himself as well.  It becomes a big concern now, espeically should anything happen to King, however it isn't fatal.  I am guessing it is now far too late into the game to bring someone in that could help at this position. 

-The decision of Trent to transfer would really look like a big loss.  If Trent was still around, these issues at the point would pretty much be moot.

-A silver lining: This would give Ihenacho a chance to heal up his body from injuries the last two years at JMU and get in lots of training.

I was told by someone on here that UND does not need a point guard because they do not run any plays. Straight motion offense that anyone on the roster can get us into when in the half court. Hence why Brady Danielson got to start at the point one game. I think we all remember (or want to forget!!) how that went. 
Now because that is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard, I agree that the point guard position (especially backup minutes) could be an issue. Both the eye test and the numbers backup there being a drop off when Trent was not running the offense. Someone is going to have to step up. Excited to see who it is!!

May I choose not to and go instead with "request granted".

PG play is going to be a HUGE issue without Tyree being able to go. I still believe shooting is going to be a HUGE issue next season as well. The loss of both Trent and Norman is going to be bigger than many people believed or want to believe. We will miss both of them greatly.

Like you said, I'm guessing it is too late to bring anyone in that will make any sort of an impact for either of those two areas. Like @GoodGood said, another poster once told us that we don't need a PG and that it is so easy anybody can do it, so we shouldn't be worried at all 

Oh, I think Norman is going to be a big loss for UND.  Maybe others can fill part of that role.  But, pure shooter is missing.

Norman will be a sizeable loss. Treysen is really the only one on the roster that will play that has a pure stroke.

You're right, we will miss Jalun's point guard play, where he entered to the wing and then stood on the baseline on the dunker spot.

The D1 docket websites has been updated.  Not sure if we are still looking for games or not.  A few if the games still need the date finalized. Non-conference D1 home games appear to be Portland, Elon and Northern Colorado.

They probably are still chasing two non-conference games due to the departure of WIU.  Unless they will fill them with non-d1s.

Was worried that the BSC-Summit Challenge might have been scrapped due to said departure, but there hasn't been any news one way or the other (or what adjustments need to be made for squads who were going to play WIU on the BSC side of things..

[SWSiouxMN]

He looks gooooodddd.

If he can show that he can hit that 3 point shot with consistency this year and can be around an 80% free throw shooter... he will at least be on a 1st team All-Summit team this year and could be a sleeper Summit League POY candidate... and UND will finish in the top 3 of the standings

Most important:  UND has something in a player they haven't had since Q/Geno.  A player that has IT and can make THAT play you need to win a game on both ends of the floor.

If UND is still looking to schedule a team, they should bring in CSUN!

Get DAE back in the Betty!! It’s where he belongs!

If UND wins Dosch is allowed in the locker room for an interview, if CSUN wins UND buys DAE one of these??

All star games mean almost close to nothing... BUT- Erikson has a LONG way to go.

Patiently waiting for the video of an emotional Sather presenting Daniel Hong a scholarship in front of the entire team. I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it!!

At least he will have 2 years to figure everything out before he is actually counted on.

I'd say the odds are higher that Hong enters the transfer portal at the end of the season.
