If Tyree doesn't get a waiver my biggest question marks heading into next year would be 

1. Shooting

2. Point Guard play

3. Rim protection 

Again, some important pieces of a successful team.

No PG....no bueno. Roster full of 2s, 3s and 4s.

I would classify Tyree as a PG.

I’m not as confident in the shooting as you are. Trent, King, Brooks, and Mayar may be sub 30% 3 point shooters next year. Omot was only 30% last year. He’ll likely improve but how much? TT was 34.5%. Treysen only one likely to be in that 38-40% range and he’s not a spot up shooter like Norman.

Is there really any 4s on the roster? We know from last year Omot needs to play the 3. Mayar may be the only option at the 4 unless I’m forgetting someone.

Wouldn’t you say T is more of a 4? Shooting and rim protector are 1a and 1b for me.

Thinking about it now I’d flip 2 and 3 on my list. Im sure T could play the 4 if we had a true 5 to play beside him. I just don’t think that’s coming based on there being no reported offers to any 5s that fit that description. I just think it’s a little odd the staff didn’t seem to think it was a need. Maybe they think the length and athleticism of Omot and Mayar could be enough?

Would rather a true big bruiser. Must not be any out there.

Offensively T "could" play the 4, but then he probably loses his advantage based on matchups. He gets loose on the perimeter when he has 5's on him and they get lost. And T cannot guard 4's consistently, especially smaller 4's. Barring foul trouble T will play 30 mpg at the 5 spot this year and Mayar, open scholly, and BJ (probably at least 5 mpg) will man the 4 spot.

Hard to find good big guys at this level

Playing T at the 4 would be very similar to the Wolves playing KAT there

NBA and college aren't even close to the same game... Tomatoes to potatoes

Really mature comments by Tyree. I'm happy for the kid and happy for UND. Hopefully he has a great 2 year run with the Hawks!

Very good interview.  Sather is on a growth opportunity.  Tyree asked to come back.  Says a lot about Sather.

This has to be a top half of the Summit team next year.  

You got most of the roster from last year back, you added some good pieces.

Now you got to deliver on it.

I expect big things this year.

Outside of SDSU and NDSU... tell me who UND should be worried about right now?

DU and KC are starting over practically, WIU has a new coach, USD has a new starting 5, ORU and UST will be tough but have key losses.  Omaha could be ready for a step up.

All us UND want wins.  Quite a few wanted Sathers head because he couldn't coach, recruit  or retain talent.

So most agreed he could recruit but not retain talent.  Tyree and SD wonder boy left after being named Summit Freshmen of the year. 

Sather couldn't coach pick a starting five.

This year made a strong run with three freshman at that end of the year.  All freshman stayed 

Tyree came back and said he shouldn't have left.

Filled in more spots.

Sather will be in the top three coaches in UND history.  Bank it.

[SIOUXFAN97]

sather didn't get fired...didn't lose bj...got some portal transfers....time to win some games!!!!!

Is the schedule out yet ?

The Summit conference to me is looking wide open on the men's side of basketball for the coming year. NDSU looks to be the leader coming into conference this coming year but with loss of Nelson probably for the coming season are they not set to dominate Summit conference for next year. What they have is most coming back and proven coach gets his team ready by end of the season. SDSU is nearly tie with NDSU but i believe the loss of several players and they looking to freshman or new talent to fill in for coming year puts them behind a little for coming year. I believe there coaching staff are going to be challenged more this year because this first in many years they do not have proven depth and questions at several positions, but their guard play will be real strength. ORU has lost bunch of talent and will have new coaching not recipe for success. KC is unknown and could get better quick with the portal and experienced coach. Omaha could become one of the leaders we won't know until were in the season. Denver is again in transition I don't expect them to be contender next year. South Dakota is going through whole rebuild this coming year and their coach is still new because of last year's accident. WIU new coach and another rebuild there. St. Thomas will be equal or better even with loss of their star player they are building but can't play postseason basketball. UND looks like to finally starting to put the pieces together and if talent they have put together live up to their potential, they could be challenging for the top of the conference, but still very young team so there will be growing pains. Should be exciting year for UND Basketball.
