5th Year

Brady Danielson

Senior

Jalun Trent

Tsotne Tsartsidze

Junior

Deng Mayar

Brian Mathews

Sophomore

BJ Omot

Treysen Eaglestaff

Eli King

Elijah Brooks

Freshman

Daniel Hong (RS walk-on)

Ryan Erikson

Anthony Doppler

Matthew Bothun (sounds like walk-on to start)

Zach Kraft (walk-on)

So we have 11 scholarship guys and 3 walk-ons right now. 2 open scholarships still. I assume Bothun’s would turn into a scholarship his second year so assuming no one unexpected leaves, we would have 2 scholarships to work with for the following year as well.

TT should be a 5th year guy as well. Played 2 years of JUCO and 2 years here. Same thing with Norman, not sure why they weren’t listed as seniors this year

I edited it after @GoodGood mentioned that.

Is Zach Kraft part of the Pinky Kraft family tree?

[SD UND]

Will be interesting to see what they do with the 1 scholly left

I think it will either be another 4 or maybe they go back to the drawing board and target some 5's.

My guess is Elvis is probably not committing.

Trent Johnson has an offer and a visit soon, I would guess. Canadian flavor.. 6'7 swiss army knife, maybe he's the answer.

 

Could be a quick and fast off season as far as recruiting... which I'm sure the staff would absolutely love.

The recent GF Herald article…Kraft said. "I've always been a (UND) fan and this is a dream come true."  Damn it’s nice to get players that have dreamed about coming here!

Kraft and Eaglestaff.  Eaglestaff is the glue to this team.

I hope we can put to bed about Sather as a coach.  He could recruit but the good ones left.  He couldn't coach because of record.  Made a huge run the end of the season.  Buckle up next year will be fun.  If you sturdier his career he developed his team.  A late hire and covid delayed the development.  UND has a winner.

I haven’t heard that these new recruits are only d2 players

sort of fun to see how they play next year

Guessing you know someone else has signed.  Any hints ? Big man ? Former player ?

He did say, "I think it will either be another 4 or maybe they go back to the drawing board and target some 5's." about the last scholarship remaining. Hoping this commit is a true PG as we already have a ton of wing players. And then the last scholarship can be used on whatever player they feel is best. 

I think they have already signed someone and its still under wraps...

With all the good that has happened we still need a big man and true point guard? Seems like two pretty important missing pieces.

What are the scholarship situations for the two incoming Fr. from Century HS?

They are on scholarship.

So UND athletics thinks so much of local kids they only get to come as walkons.

I don't think location is a criteria for a scholly in any sport.

Not sure I understand the post... Do you feel like Kraft is a scholarship athlete at the D1 level at this time?

To me this seems more like a token jesture.  Happened in football as well with 2 GF kids.  If they aren't good enough for a scholarship they should go elsewhere.    These walk on offers mean about as much as a verbal commitment.

So walk on's are ok, so long as they are from outside of GF? Is Thompson ok? Fargo? What's the approved distance for a walk on?
