In all seriousness I don’t care if Paul Sather or Santa Claus is the head coach. We’ve finished 6th, 5th , 10th, and 9th in the conference the last 4 years. Those results in an average to probably below average conference are not good. Maybe next year is the year we make a huge jump. Seems like there will be a lot of turnover in teams rosters next year. I’m sure the SU’s, ORU, and St Thomas will be at the top. I will be disappointed if we are not amongst that group. As always I will be at most home games and look forward to traveling to a handful of away games. I’m already looking forward to going down to Lincoln once again! Good points. I’m not commenting on the struggles, I’m just commenting that he isn’t going anywhere right now regardless of how we feel. It was a response to the comment about recruits considering coming to a school where a coach is on the “hot seat”. Quote

His 3 point % took a dip this year which could be a concern Moni would be another tough battle to get but we have to win some of those. I’ve heard many NDSU fans hoping for him too. Quote

List would go Walters, Thompson, Moni? Quote

Hopefully we can come out a net positive from the portal this year. 3 Quote

The other two have additional years of eligibility so that would elevate them in my book. Quote

His role probably won't get any bigger but he loves Minnesota. The decision for him will be does he want to play or is alright with being a very small role guy/maybe not getting any minutes for games at a time but being at the program he loves. Quote

Genuine question as I’ve never seen him just have seen stats. The other two have additional years of eligibility so that would elevate them in my book. I think for one season he would be the top guy. Maybe two years of the other guys would be a better plan. I think Mason is considered the best player in the NAIA. As a sophomore he held his own against a 7 footer named EJ Onu from Shawnee State. EJ has played the last several years in the G League and received serious draft consideration. Last years NAIA national champion had guys transfer to Ole Miss and Marquette. Hard to judge where exactly Mason falls but the last couple of years the top NAIA players have been able to play at a pretty high level. 1 Quote
SD UND Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 It is hilarious that a few people judge the recruits that Sather has brought in and say we don't have a D1 hoops team, and then the next thing you know they want our top priority to be a NAIA transfer... Mason Walters is a good basketball player and if he wants to come to UND you take him.. If he wants to go anywhere else you wish him luck. 2 1 Quote

Sure, never said he wasn't. If you reread my comment and don't rush to get defensive I said if he wants to come they should take him. 1 Quote
SD UND Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 11 minutes ago, HoopsFan03 said: It's annoying to everyone how you continuously try to push this false narrative that everyone hates Sather and are just out to get him. Nobody thinks like that. We all want UND to win and be successful no matter who the coach is. We are talking about potential transfers for next year and you somehow make it about how you're best buddies with Sather and have to constantly defend him when nobody even brought him up!! His name was not mentioned in talking about 3 possible transfers for UND to go after. We get it, you're best buds with Sather and love him and feel like you have to always defend his honor on this forum. It doesn't need to be brought up in every single conversation that has nothing to do with the coach. This is the final time I will even be responding to you or interacting with you on this forum, as it is a waste of my time. I wish you and Sather and your guys relationship nothing but the best! I will miss our interactions 2 2 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 To me Sather's team's last dozen or so games got him next season; but, he's still on the same "watch" as Berry and hockey. ... tick-tock ... 1 3 Quote

I love how we were having a legit conversation about 3 potential transfers that would all be great gets for UND and then you come in trying to spin it in some negative connotation. It’s awesome!

SWSiouxMN Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Talent is talent, no matter where you get it. Heck, go get the Payne kid, who is in the portal from UW-River Falls. He might get some D1 interest 1 Quote

I’d like to see when they do so I can give myself plenty of time between their posts. Or maybe I will want to buy into this conspiracy theory and only post directly after them! Hopefully I’m logged into GoodGood for this post. That would be embarrassing to get caught with my other burner accounts!! Now can we please have a real basketball discussion like we were when talking about potential transfers 1 1 Quote

He really has only played when other guys were injured, got his big chance when Garcia was out. He just doesn't bring anything to get minutes. Plays hard and screens well but his 3 shot is great in practice and he works at it so much but can't hit it in the game, not a great rebounder for his size, effects shots some but you'd like more there and can be knocked around by physical bigs.

I’ll have to watch some more film on him. At his size and athleticism he’s a really good prospect. I just remember seeing a video of him dunking on Chet in a summer league. Quote
