2023 Off-season Recruiting

[GoodGood]

Here’s a guy we should make a late push for: Mier Panoam. I know Bentiu enjoyed his time at UND why not get his brother?

I’ve been intrigued by Mier for some time. He’s got some solid offers, just wonder if they’re all still standing beings he hasn’t committed anywhere. Unreal athleticism.

Anyone know anything about Hayden Tibbits out of Wayzata? I was reading Gopher site and there’s people there that think the Gophers should give him a shot. He’s 5’9”. Zero college offers. 1,000 point scorer. All Metro team. Mr Basketball finalist. I’d think he’d be worth taking a chance on 

 

Just committed to St Thomas.

Man they got a lot of players I like 

Hopefully we get a 6 to 6'2" equal ability I'm sure you do to.

Treyton Thompson committed to Stetson the other day. Wonder if there are some unreported offers to some 4 or 5 men

Elvis Nnaji maybe? Not an absolute bruiser but would help.

I found this on twitter 

[sioux24/7]

Of the known offers or players that you believe we may have mutual interest with in the portal, what’s everyone’s priority list? 

Known Offers: Jamar Brown, Trent Johnson, Tasos Cook, Braelon Bush and Deng Mayar

Potential Mutual Interest: Terrance Brown, Eli King, Elvis Nnaji… there’s obviously more and I could be missing some offers.

I struggle really prioritizing it but I will say I love Jamar Brown. Deng Mayar would provide an excellent motor with length and athleticism.  Terrance Brown, who’s supposedly visiting soon, gives me Geno vibes. Eli and Elvis both played with BJ and Trey so if that can help people stick around that’s awesome plus Eli at least was highly touted.

I'm not sure how likely it would be that Eli King would actually come to UND. He was a 4 star recruit out of high school with offers and interest from plenty of P6 schools like: Iowa, Marquette, Stanford, Minnesota. I find it hard to believe that all those schools and others would give up on a 4 star recruit after one year. Who knows though!!

UND is not getting Eli King, sorry not a chance. The NIL agreements have changed the entire recruiting landscape now.  Any decent higher end recruit is shopping NIL agreements and UND will never be able to compete at that level.

You guys may be right, I just know his name has been connected here. Saying someone’s not coming here, you’re going to get right more often than wrong.

While I would usually agree with you on this statement.. I think there is pretty strong mutual interest in this case.

UND is definitely in play here with  few other LM's.

He wants to play with his brother. Mid major interest at best right now. Valpo was seen as strong contender for both King's before their staff got fired.

Yes, not sure if UND would take both. 

It's interesting because both are the same position. I get that they want to play together, but most likely wouldn't be on the court together at the same time very much, IMO.

He will visit UND, so he is at least considering.

[jdub27]

Interesting list of schools. At least we made the list where we reached out to him though.
Best of luck to him, hope he succeeds and has a fun fifth year.

Montana State just got a commitment from big man Jackson Grant. Former McDonald’s All American. I really hope there’s some unreported offers out there. We need a big guy 

By the looks of the offers that are reported, they appear to be going after 1's and athletic 4's or undersized athletic 5's.

 

Maybe they feel good about having Mathews as more as a traditional bruiser, T a pick and pop/face-up 5 and want to use 1 or 2 on a guy that can roam between 4 and 5.

From the outside looking in, it looks like Plan A is to get some size and athleticism and move B.J. to the 3.

We need more than Matthews down low

I agree. I like Mathews but going to need more than him.

Don't disagree with you at all. Think they will be going after more "undersized" 6'7 6'8 4/5's that are mobile to provide some flexibility to those two positions.

Yeah getting a guy who can play both would be ideal. I would like to have both a traditional big like Mathews but them also have that wiry more athletic big that can match up better when the other team has an athletic/stretch 5. It is still early April lots of players entering the portal still. I’ve had to take a step back and remember that cause I’m just so excited to see UND make a move

I'll take that.  

Give me an Isaac Mushilia/Drick Bernstein type player at the 4.

According to zach krafts brother,  UND offered kraft a preferred walk on last week.  

[sioux24/7]

Let’s hear some good news this week! Jamar Brown, Terrence Brown, Eli King, Elvis Nnaji, Deng Mayar, someone!

It’d be fun to find another Drick Bernstine type player! A 4 that could rebound, handle the ball,  and be a legit playmaker. Pretty rare skill set for the low major level

he was awesome...

Hoping for some good news as well! Has anyone taken their visit here yet? Or just guys planning to come on a visit here? 

Dead period during final 4 and easter this past weekend. Visits will  take place soon I would assume... either end of this week or next week.

[SD UND]

Just now, HoopsFan03 said:

Makes sense! Any other visits planned other than Eli King? 

I would guess there are 4-5 visits that will happen here soon.
