Last year the limit was 13 schollys, not sure UND is offering the max yet.  All the juniors you listed should be sophomores as they all redshirted 

Good call on all that.

I’m not sure 4 scholarships are enough to fill the holes in this roster 

As it stands currently, this roster is a single digit D1 win team next year. We need help in a big way

Seniors (2)

- Eli King

- Reggie Thomas

Juniors (0)

Sophomores (6)

- Zach Kraft

- Anthony Doppler

- Matthew Bothun

- Ryan Erikson

- George Natsvishvili

- Wylee Delorme (he might be PWO but let’s assume scholarship)

Freshman (3 + 1 PWO)

- Anthony Smith III

- Marley Curtis

- Micah Curtis

- Karson Ouse (PWO)

So that would leave at least 2 scholarships open, right? Assuming 13 scholarship limit as UNDDOM pointed out  

 

I dont even want to make a starting 5 with this lineup

[SIOUXFAN97]

when does the bismarck experiment end.....?

[SIOUXFAN97]

i would if sather doesn't show something in the next week.......it's time.

If players can leave when they want can we get rid of players that didn't work out ? Hint Bismarck kids. Taking up scholarships for players that don't deserve them. If we have only 2 scholarships left we are in big trouble 

[ND-fan]

I was going through verbal commits site for UND we have 8 players under scholarship and if that is correct we should still have 7 scholarships left now for next year. The number of scholars ships went up to 15 this year.  That with players left we could still add full rotation of player that could start for us next year. We are not alone on this number of teams are looking at mass turnover in players. The favorite for next year is going to be St. Thomas so far they are most stable of all the teams. We won’t know how conference shapes up until we’re in playing conference games next year. The only way to stabilize this is going to have to multi year contracts signed with younger players that have penalties and buyout clauses to help fund Nil money for the small midmajors to help keep players longer.

Of those 7 spots 5 are already filled with Wylee, Smith, Curtis twins, and Ouse. So only 2 spots available, and yes they can offer 15 scholarships now but I believe UND said there aren’t going to do that and will still have PWOs. I know people have already mentioned that Wylee may be a PWO and that Ouse is a PWO. Hopefully Im correct with all that

They cannot go to battle with the 5 on this list plus Kraft, King, and Bothun. There has to be legitimate size coming to this roster before the fall of 2025.

So we have 2 or 3 open roster spots and need to grab 2 centers? Also who is going to score the ball for this team? 

[UND-FB-FAN]

Safe to expect 2025-2026 to be a disaster year for UND MBB, but we can all hope for the best. MBB leadership change incoming, should’ve happened this year, but for $ reasons, will likely happen next.

Still no rim protector so also struggling to see how we get stops.

I don’t think a coaching change would bring much different results until  a new coach can bring in his players and coaching philosophy.

Im not seeing the next head coach on the bench now in my opinion either 

need a coach that knows players to bring in and kids want to play for

That eight roster spots included Curtiss twins and Ouse but not Wyler or Smith they show committed but not there status of scholarship or preferred walk on yet. We have several roster spots shown as walk on. If this is correct we should have at least 5 spots if above two are given scholarships to fill if we go to 15 max. I haven’t seen anything formal one way or another on this but I would assume that we will use maximum if needed. According to verbal commits King, Thomas, Erkison, Doppler, Natsvishili, Curtis.twins, and Ouse are on scholarship.

The roster limit is still 15 though, so even if someone is a PWO that still counts as a spot. So they don’t have 5 spots available

Correction, UND can go over the roster limit since they opted out of the full roster scholarships for all sports. So they can offer 13 scholarships then go over the 15 roster limit but i’m not sure what new roster limit would be
