2023-2024 Season

Ever since Randall got here, the teams played a lot better and recruiting has gotten better too

[Dustin]

It seems that the Summit AQ is destined for a #16 seed, so let me ask you this:  would it be better to have one of the “first four” play-in games, or go straight to playing a #1 seed?

Not disagreeing but who were his big pulls so far? BJ was Horstman along with Trey, I believe. Tyree is Sather. Amar is Stevens.

My guess Trey and BJ had major influence on Eli.

I would say Sather's biggest recruitment was Eaglestaff and he got BJ and Eli here.  The only reason Treyson came here is because of his uncle that played here.  So No extensions for Sather.  Most of our good fortune started with Treyson's commitment and it had nothing to do with Sather.  Go back and look at the video when he committed.

What about the fact that Omot and Eaglestaff are still here?!?  Maybe you're right (I doubt it) that Eaglestaff only committed to UND because of his legacy...but a coach he doesn't want to play for would have chased him out awfully quick.  Recruiting isn't only about who you bring in each year...it's about who you KEEP here.  That's where we are nowadays in the world of college basketball...

Since a 6 win season in 2021-22, we've improved to 13 wins, and now 17 and counting, with a core of the team being made up of sophomores and juniors (not sure what's left for COVID years).  If you look at Sather's career trajectory this isn't unfamiliar territory for him.  His approach seems to require patience...which I'll admit I wasn't sure we'd have being a D1 program.  That said...he's won everywhere he's been...and the arc is looking good for the program.  Hope we have a big finish to the season and are talking extensions at the end of the year (because we don't want to lose him).

I hope UND leaders and supporters do everything they can to keep this core of players together for the next two seasons. Basketball has such a high return on investment if you're fielding a really good team consistently. Massive untapped potential with basketball.

Like his recruitment was so great before and player retention was awesome... Do you only follow hockey?   I am saying by Treyson having his legacy and coming here he attracted better players that wanted to play with him.   I am not saying Sather is such a bad guy that players want to jump ship.  I am saying he was lucky to get Treyson and things fell into place.  Up until then he didnt show he knew how to recruit division one players and many players left the program.  I have still not seen that we are running plays.  Looks more like we have athletes that know how play and are good at one on one.  I really like the team we have now and next year I think it will be even better.  But if you give all credit now after 4 bad years to Sather I am not sold yet.

And Eaglestaff isnt leaving he said he is chasing his uncles record and Omot...  I would be surprised if he is still here next.  I hope he is because next year would be fun!

It would be nice if Chaves would allow us to get the NL going so we can get Omot a Corvette

How was he lucky to get Eaglestaff?  What other others were there for him

Legacy does not automatically equal commitment.

It sure doesn't. Otherwise, Trey Feeney would have chosen NDSU FB over UND.

[NewUndFan]

It does when it comes out of Treyson's mouth he didnt wait for any other offers.  I was wrong it was his grandfather that played.   I follow basketball all year around not just during the season.  

This is my school, I got to follow some legacy at least,” Eaglestaff said. “They’re division 1, I’ll get a full ride without my mom paying for school. That’s all I want to do cause she did so much for me. I got the offer in, I think it was January, definitely it was January or February. Then I asked my mom, cause I was freaking out, I was like, ‘should I just commit now?’ And she was like, ‘no you got to wait. What if you want to go bigger or something like that?’ I was like, I wouldn’t imagine myself anywhere else. I love the coaching staff there and everything else.”

This is an excellent post of reality.  This team is playing tough defense and winning the boards.  The offense creates opportunity to get to the hoop.

Tyree coming back proves very good players like and believe his system.  That was a tough sell past few seasons providing dividends this season.
