Need to keep what we currently have and change the narrative. Should (is) UND be expressing interest with him? Yes. Is it not going to matter and he's going to end up at a high mid-major/P6? Also yes. (Still absolutely agree that should be talking with him, which I believe they are). Answer me this, if you say UND is talking to him, why do they list the other Summit schools that reached out to him but not UND? 2 1 Quote

I didn't write the article so I don't know. It listed those as those "were among the Summit League teams that had contacted him". Meaning there were just more than that. Answer me this, have you definitively heard from Walters or someone within the UND program that they have chosen not to reach out to him? Or are just making assumptions based off of what a writer for a Fargo paper put in there? Which of the two things is more likely? UND wasn't one of the 50 teams named or UND hasn't reached out? Based on what I've heard, I know what my answer is. Based on your prior comments, I assume I know which one you think is likely. We can disagree but only a handful of people know definitively. 2 1 Quote
Und246 Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Maybe UND already knows he is not considering UND. Early on in recruitment sometimes coachs know where the recruit would even consider and then they just simply decide to focus on recruits who might come here. 1 Quote

I can talk directly to the source if you would like. But basically what you're saying is that people don't view UND as a good enough program to be worthy of listing them among the other 20+ schools they listed. Tells you the perception of the program. Not a good look! 3 3 Quote

You mean one of the top sought after transfers in the Midwest that every other mid-major D1 program in ND and the surrounding states is reaching out to?? Nobody cares what school he went to. He lives 2 hours away from Grand Forks. It is sad that we either 1. Haven't reached out or 2. Won't even be considered but schools like Omaha will. It's embarrassing for the program. 3 2 Quote

NewUndFan Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 You are right it has. But it is very frustrating as a fan of UND basketball that a North Dakota kid this close to UND either hasnt been contacted or doesnt even consider us. He has many mid major schools looking at him. UND not being one of them. Every division one school in the Dakota's is listed. I just want UND basketball to be relevant again. 1 Quote

SD UND Posted March 23, 2023 Author Posted March 23, 2023 If UND was one of the first to reach out to Walters and he voices that he will not consider going to UND, would you like UND to waste and inordinate amount of time recruiting a kid that isn't going to come here? He has 30+ schools reaching out to him.. newsflash, UND isn't going to win a recruiting battle like that, not now... not ever. That's just reality. 2 Quote

News flash UND doesnt win any recruiting battles with any teams in the summit. That is the problem. I get if the kid doesnt want to come to a losing team at UND. BUT it would still be nice to see that UND was on the list of schools trying to recruit a North Dakota kid. Shows we have interest in our local talent. I guess we will be happy getting the Doppler's of ND. 2 Quote

I'm just filling everyone in with what the reality of the situation is. Mason Walters is not going to be playing in the Summit League. Not for UND, Not for NDSU, not for SDSU, Not for USD. Quote

DAE had 20-30 d1 offers out of high school. We won that recruiting battle. I’d say he opened the door to bringing up his problems when he chose to give his opinion on UNDs coaching situation. Quote
SD UND Posted March 23, 2023 Author Posted March 23, 2023 Everyone is concerned with not having the letters UND listed in a tweet or an article? HE'S NOT GOING TO PLAY AT UND... why should they waste any more time talking to him? Quote
SD UND Posted March 23, 2023 Author Posted March 23, 2023 AJ Plitzuweit just entered the portal... should UND call him to get listed on a tweet? Quote
HoopsFan03 Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 The bodyguard has spoken!! Mason Walters and any other players being recruited by other Summit teams will never come here because UND won't even try recruit! I repeat, the bodyguard has spoken!! 2 Quote
