I think he is 100% worth an offer! Local kid with pretty high potential. Hasn’t proven himself at the college level at all yet and although he had a great individual HS career his teams did underperformed. So I understand the concern but I am sure there will be MANY teams reaching out to him and hopefully UND can get him on the roster.

Don't disagree...but from what I saw of him in high school he's far from a sure thing...even with two years playing in the Pac-12.

Hurlburt would be a great addition to the team! At that height, he has great vision and ball handling, not to mention can shoot it pretty well.

I find it odd that nobody on Twitter has posted anything about teams that have interest in Omot.. Wonder if the coaching staff is doing all it can to keep him?

A redshirt freshman that has played a total 25 minutes of college bb will be the 2nd best shooter at UND next year...that might be bit more absurd.  

Eli King came in last year with limited minutes and look how he played at the end of the season.  I think kids like Hurlburt that are questionable Power 5 players are going to go to schools like UND prove they can play get some minutes and transfer out.

A 6'11" big guy that would come in and be the 2nd best shooter on the team. Has solid skills with 3 years left of eligibility that he can expand on as he gets older. Could play on the wing and in the post at this level. 

To try say he doesn't offer anything because he averaged 2 MPG on a Pac 12 NCAA tournament team as a redshirt freshman coming from a Class B ND school is a bit absurd. 

I like it - get him!

Tyler Junior College. Looks like we are his only known offer. I think @SD UNDmentioned McNeese State was looking at him. 

[McBuckets]

Here is the latest I could find about school’s talking with him. It is from February though

Think he is visiting today. NCAA dead period starts tomorrow and runs until the 11th I believe

Yeah he was here yesterday not sure if the visit extends into today or not. He posted a story last night with a UND jersey on. 

[sioux24/7]

Would guess this is Dariyus. 

[McBuckets]

Would have to assume its Dariyus. Nice to see the first domino is in place

[forksandspoons]

Nice! And more to come.

[sioux24/7]

It will be interesting how he fits in. I feel like he’s not an automatic day 1 starter. Kind of depends on what Mara does this offseason and then also whether they keep King coming off the bench.

How many scholarships do we have to fill?

3 now. 

[sioux24/7]

I don’t think it’s Dariyus, yet. Think this is the PG.

Who? 

[forksandspoons]

Appears there could be some interest in 6' 9" forward Dominic Commisso out of Southeastern LA. He favorited Sather's latest tweet about today's commitment and Sather follows him. He just entered the portal yesterday.

Yes, this is correct.  PG.  Not coming from D1 though.

Yup NAIA route but I really like what I see from them. Will be interesting how it translates.

I’m skeptical but intrigued. I don’t remember where I stood on the Walters thing last year but probably in the same boat I am now.
