It says "grateful for another year" I just assumed that means he's coming back, but it's a little more vague, I guess. if he plays even one minute next year....

Erickson has a lot of the tools and skill to develop into a legit D1 player. I think it’s just going to take a lot of time. I’ve been told by people that watch AAU in the summer that Doppler had some impressive performances. I did not see it in the 4 or 5 Century games I watched this year but who knows I guess.

Good news is, they will not play this year most likely, and if they attack their redshirt year with the right mindset, they can make major strides. Add Bothun to that mix as well.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff needs to develop them to their fullest potential. I have faith they will do so. Do I expect them to help out next year? No, because I think this staff will land some talent with the scholarships that are left 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of nice games against Mandan. Century had quite a few blowout wins this season but it seems like in their close games he was their best player in those games.

None of the current commits should see any playing time and if they do, it should be in the exhibitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SWSiouxMN Posted March 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2023 UND needs to use their scholarhips on the following (in order of importance) 1) A big at either the 4 or 5 position: This to me, along with other people on this board, is the most important position to fill. This will allow UND to get better at 2 positions: At the 4/5 spot in the lineup and allowing Omot to slide to the 3 spot. 2) The point guard of the future: Need to think ahead for 24-25 in this spot. I really feel you need to keep Eaglestaff at the 2 spot but he can work the PG position in a pinch, but you need that playmaker to lead the 2nd unit and someone to groom to take over the position next year when Trent graduates 3) Best player available Now, if you address 1 and 2 correctly, then you have more wiggle room on this one. If you can add some shooting with this spot, especially in a bench role, that would be good to pair nicely with the backup point guard. If you hit on these scholarships, with the core... they could contend for a top 3 spot. Yes, I said it. They absolutely can content for a top 3 spot as soon as next year. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good analysis. l think that the "Best player available" needs to be a shooter to replace Norman. He added a lot to the offense when his shooting became consistent the second half of the season. Helped us go on that 6 out of 8 or whatever it was at one point late in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Jamar Brown here. Think he may not be quite to the level of shooter that Norman was but not far behind and probably equal or better everywhere else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, say for example... NDSU had offered them instead and they accepted. Then you have arguable the top 3 kids from ND going to the Bison and people up in arms saying: Sather can't get homestate kids that aren't legacy kids. Who really knows if they were going to be there at the end. The staff thinks that they can help the team going foward, we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller45 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Speaking purely to the comments on the recruitment of the Century pair. Erikson committing the day after he got offered did really eliminate any chance of him accumulating multiple D1 offers. I know off hand that he spoke with schools in 3 different mid major conferences, but UND was the school he particularly wanted to go to for a variety of reasons. Doppler was communicating with several different coaching staffs and also committed before the July live periods began. Doppler, in particular, is a lot better offensively than he gets to show in high school due to the unique style of basketball that Century plays as far as their pace and their spacing. Also watched Bothun several times during the summer and I think he is going to be a very nice piece in a few years. Can really really shoot it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
