Nodak78 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 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.

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.

Most of us thought we had 2 scholarships left. Now we signed someone but hasn't been released yet. I am hoping this signed player is a true PG. Then with the final scholarship available they can go after whoever they feel fits the team best. Whether that is another 4 or try go for a 5 man like SD had said in his pervious post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFan100 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 With all the good that has happened we still need a big man and true point guard? Seems like two pretty important missing pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like two pretty important missing pieces. I think that we'll have enough length in other places to help make up for the lack of a true big man. Having Omot at the 3 and Deng at the 4 should help out with some sort of rim/paint protection. Sather and Co want to keep running with TT and Mathews. Make some adjustments with our base defense and how we defend things and I think it should be okay. If Trent can develop any sort of a jumpshot/get his confidence back over the summer that should be okay too. We don't have a legit backup PG though. King can play PG but isn't a true PG. Treysen can handle the ball but isn't a true PG. Trent is really all we have for a legit PG. Would be nice to have a PG to run the second unit, in my opinion.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Thompson ok? Fargo? What's the approved distance for a walk on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how many Grand Forks kids have been on UND's basketball team in the couple decades, scholarship or not, it seems like the offer is pretty far from a token gesture. Nothing was stopping him from taking a scholarship or PWO elsewhere either. Plenty of reasons to take the PWO, including betting on yourself to earn a scholarship. Seems like you're insulting a whole bunch of different people with this take though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Sicatoka Posted April 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2023 If the player wants to play, and is willing to pay their own way for the chance, and the coach thinks they're worthy of a slot and a shot, what's the problem with a PWO. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
