How hard did Hutter work to keep her? That's the tell. 

From these two quotes, I can’t imagine it was a high priority, for Schiller or any of the other portal entries.

I think Hutter is going to be just fine.

This is all just fluff that people put on social media. If this coach was that good the portal players would have stayed.

What time line ? I agree with you. I dont have any inside information but from what I see her dad must have been getting in with the team.  Could Josie and her family turned the rest of the team against the coaches ?  A Twitter post hints she and her family were angry that Mal offered another grand forks girl that the Schillers felt wasn't deserving and that Josie was the only star of grand forks. 

This seems very odd.  What did the post say?  If she feels this way than I'm glad she is gone.

If this is true, at all, consider me all in on Lauren Reardon becoming a UND legend.

Unfortunately if you are coaching mid-major basketball in these times, you aren’t recruiting the right players if you are just getting kids that are staying 4 or 5 years no matter what. You need kids talented enough to move on after a couple of years and just hope you can keep most of them. NIL money, even just a small amount in WBB will help keep them. The good thing is there should be more talented high school kids available  for the mid majors if the high majors are taking transfers rather than high school kids.

Fairly accurate for the most part.
I think you want to make sure the kids are bought in and not immediately looking out for their own interests instead of the team and don't have one foot out the door, but be clear if they buy-in, succeed and want to look at other opportunities after the season, you'll support it.

I don't have it, which is why I included "If this is true..." as a qualifier. That said, after dealing with my fair share of Red River parents over the years, I wouldn't be shocked  I kid, I kid.

i used to have a relative that coached at another EDC school...and i can without a doubt, guarantee that Red River parents are some of the worst out there. team sucked, and completely unaware of why that was..everybody elses fault (coach, ref, dirty players,ect) never the fact that their kid may not be that good

Timeline doesn't fit - she bailed after Mal was let go. She bailed on her school, her community and her fans. 

She didn’t bail after Mal was let go. Everyone on this forum has no idea the timeline of events. The cancer on the team wasn’t any of the players. It was the HC. That should have been taken care of immediately following season end and I guarantee almost all of those girls would have stayed.

Where do we stand now with recruits coming in and who is on scholarship now how many scholarships are still open to start filling in the roster. Also is there chance that we might have return of couple players but longer it goes less chance of that happening. I have to believe several of these girls that went into portal ended their college careers and chance to get college education payed for.

Well at least we know what the price of her integrity is. 

I don't wish anything bad for her or her family. But I sure as heck won't be cheering her on. If she gets booed at The Betty, she will have brought it on herself.

You are all grown men/women spouting off about things you know nothing about. Jocie is an amazing kid. Her family, also. They made the best decision for her because the AD couldn’t do what needed to be done sooner.

You don't honestly think she won't get booed?  We are adults and so is she. She made an adult decision.  I hope it was a good one for her but to think we should all cheer for her now is crazy.  Lots of rumors about her family getting involved with the team and I can't believe it is all false.   You almost seem like a family member.  I'm here for coach Hutter and I hope he can turn this thing around and I think in time he will.

They are definitely active in her sports career.....

If you're going to criticize everyone else, could you fill us in on the whole story?

If you want to cheer her on, go ahead. But you won't shame me into doing it. Since when did it become wrong to root against NDSU? We have become soft and complacent.

[CMSioux]

Decisions have consequences. When "the family" made this decision they knew the consequences, they chose money over school, community, fans. Down the road the money will be gone along with the legacy she would have had at UND and in Grand Forks. 

[SiouxFan100]

Outside looking in my guess is the money was just a bonus. She and others wanted to get out of an ugly situation (Mal UND bb) into a much better situation (somewhere else) - my guess - and ndsu was close enough for her family to watch her play

Whatever way you look at it, moving to a local rival is pretty low. I’m sure she is a nice person, most people are, but when making a move like this you are going to have to live with being a villain to people who care.
