Were they actually AAU teammates or did the Curtis twins and A3 play a year ahead of Moore.  They all played for the same AAU organization, but I don't think they played on the same team. To my knowledge, A3 and Moore play the same position. 

This was from the UND press release last week:

Next time you see Wes Rydell, ask him about #2.  He would strongly disagree with that statement. 

Heh... I don't know Wes personally, but why would Chavez wait this long to renew?  I can kind of buy into the idea that he didn't want to pull the plug last year with all the other coaching changes, but he is either going to renew, or not renew. Waiting only means there may be some contingent in his head, like possibly having a good year. OR... he has begun his search already.

One thing I've learned about Chaves is never assume he's doing his homework ahead of time.

Well - they must have played together at some point.  I do know they know each other well.

It might be... and I certainly could be wrong. I agree that both of them (as well as A3) have a lot of growing to do.  But that said, the coaches seem very high on them, so they will get ample opportunity to figure a few things out. Here is how it plays out:

1)  UND finishes 7th-9th and possibly loses a play-in game (which I think is very probable)

2) Coach doesn't get a renewed contract - UND AD takes some time to get someone causes uncertainty

3) Several guys leave due to being out of eligibility

4) Several others leave to make more $$ 

5) A few leave because they are not playing

6) Everyone in their circle has told them how great they are and it's someone else to blame for the losing, they could shine elsewhere

7) They will get offered more $ than UND will be able to give them to convince them to stay.

 

Again - this is baseless, and has no factual info in it - just my opinion and prediction.

Can’t forget about hiring an assistant on. 3 year contract. Thinking Sandovol as Stevens wouldn’t do that to an old friend
