If referring to Billy Brown I think UND would be pretty happy if Kraft has a career even close to his. If he plays one meaningful minute in his career, it's an absolute success.

I wouldn't lump Brown with those two, at least Billy shot it 45% from 3 1 year and is in the record books because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have done a great job recruiting so far. A ton of length and athleticism on next years team! Really hoping shooting doesn't hold us back though.

Norman will be missed but I think Treysen can fill a lot of that outside shooting role that Norman filled next year. Plus, I would expect both Omot and T to get better (espeically Omot) from distance. Maybe Trent and Brooks can also make some improvements from this area as well. I'm not ready to push the panic button on the outside shooting, I think enough of an improvement from the team could fill that void (plus who knows what else UND adds with their 2 scholarships).

He was a big part of our winning 6 of our last nine. Would also like to see us pick up another shooter. But I agree with SW that some of the others could well pick up the slack in this area.

UND1983 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Continue to wonder how Omot is still on the roster. After the last couple years I was trained to accept our best frosh is leaving come March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not hitting the panic button, but we currently don't have that pure shooter like Norman to really space the floor and help open up driving lanes. All of our current guards, except maybe Treysen, are drivers first before shooters Treysen - he is a scorer that can shoot, he's going to be up and down because of the type of shots he shoots. Not a shooter like Norman was Omot - should be able to improve on his 30% he shot last year but again is a scorer that can shoot it a bit. Not a shooter like Norman Trent, Brooks, Danielson, King, Mayar - All drivers first. None are shooters. TT shooting like he did last year does help create some space and driving lanes off the pick & pop. Hoping we use one of the 2 remaining scholarships to get someone that can really shoot the ball to help space the floor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraft and Bothum as PWOs. I think the assumption is that Nicholson is gone too? Would the "best warm-up shooting percent" award be given at the same banquet as the "best hockey season before holiday break*" award? Will the Alerus ballroom hold it? *Gophs had a long run winning that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping we use one of the 2 remaining scholarships to get someone that can really shoot the ball to help space the floor! I don't know if I agree in total about Eaglestaff. I think his game was forced to evolve a bit since in college he is shooting against bigger players and they probably close out on the shooter quicker than he was used to in High School and even AAU. I know his senior year in high school almost half(276 of 567) of his shots came from beyond the 3 point line. I think as he gets stronger and quicker he may be able get his shot up a little quicker, develop a little more consistent range, and create space a little easier and hopefully also be able to finish stronger through contact at the rim. We might be saying the same thing differently but I think he looks for the 3 first and foremost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND1 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 They are expecting a roster of 16 for next year? Seem high, I wonder if they expect a player or two to leave soon or not be able to get everyone on campus as expected? Most rosters are around 14?

sioux24/7 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 5th Year Brady Danielson Tsotne Tsartsidze Senior Jalun Trent 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.

The Sicatoka Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Even in today's world of advanced medicine and training and rehab, rosters (all sports) seem to have expanded because teams seem to end up with season-long injuries that shorten the roster. Hockey used to run 26. Lately it's 27. MBB expanding a little (16) would just seem to be following the trend of roster management reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives an option for evaluation of potential for PWO’s against college talent during practice. Maybe some security against portal transfers at the end of each season.

SD UND Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
