Her and her family are absolutely "team wreckers". Have a good night. Based on the overall performance level of this athletic department the administration are program wreckers. Lots of changes needed at UND right now. 3 Quote

ND-fan Posted June 17 Author Posted June 17 It’s been quiet on women’s basketball front on what’s happening for preparation this coming year. Do we have full team here this summer practicing and doing conditioning for this coming year. The Summit conference has such turnover in players and coaches this off season. We had coaching changes ORU, Omaha, and UND plus all these teams have had big player movement through the portal plus South Dakota, Denver, and KC have had significant to large transfer of players. NDSU has lost very few players to portal as well as ST. THomas but both have added players through the portal. But it will be interesting to see how these teams progress this year I think NDSU may have some difficulties team chemistry on who will be team leaders and if there is enough time and basketball to be shared with this group with no senior leadership. Finally SDSU did loose couple players through the portal but appear to have found help in portal but they will be missing loss senior graduation and finding new point guard. My guess one teams with big turnover may be sleeper by end of year to compete with latter three. My hope it’s us and we can finally be considered one of the top in the conference. I think that St. Thomas and SDSU are teams everyone will be chasing by end of the year with NDSU that could be there also but I have feeling expectations for this team in Fargo is going to fall short when all things are done. 1 Quote
UND92,96 Posted June 18 Posted June 18 The league lost the vast majority of its better players to either graduation or the portal--just 3 of the 16 all conference/honorable mention players return (Meyer, Koenen and Oglesby). SDSU appears to be the clear number one on paper (again), particularly since they added a potential impact player in the Evansville transfer. NDSU appears to be number two, but aside from Koenen rebounding could be an issue for them. The rest of the teams will be so dependent on newcomers that it's very difficult to predict how they will do. As decimated as UND was with portal defections, they are still better off than most teams in the league in that they return two solid starters in Demers (9.5 points/game and 7.1 rebounds/game) and Aumer (8.7 points/game).

ND-fan Posted June 18 Author Posted June 18 I agree with your assessment in loss of top talent and SDSU is still top team in the league. I think SDSU with senior graduation and loss through the portal are closer to rest of the conference this year than they have been in many years. They do have transfer from Evansville plus strong recruiting class but they will miss Page Myer at point guard will not replace her easily this year they have candidates but it’s going to take time. NDSU has Koenen returning and they number of other young players with her but they will need replace Draper to help in rebounding and free up Koenen inside. They have freshman guard highly recruited that was their early last year and then they have Schiller from us and there top Frost freshman guard that had good first season it will be interesting how playing time works out. Yes we do have two returning starters but if we’re going to move to next level it will depend if our new players can some them be top level talent in the conference. I am interested in if we see style of play we have this year and if our defense improves. I think we will see better shooting from the team Hutters teams always seemed to hit outside three before in his offenses when we played against Mayville. I am optimistic we are going see big improvement in our team but it’s going to take time to meld this together find what works best for us. Quote

I like wearing kelly green glasses but realistically would be satisfied with an improvement over last year and a surprise top 4 finish. As Dave Gunther said "hustle and defense win" they might be able to steal a few games if they achieve that. Long term I'm just fine. Grand Forks is willing to come out for a winner so hopefully the fans return over the next few years. 3 Quote
shep Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Any improvement over last year makes for a decent year. No one wants to play for just some improvement so I hope they can surprise us this year with a better than expected season.... AND BEAT THE BISON Quote

und1995 Posted June 18 Posted June 18 I think it’s going to be a much improved year for UND. I love the intensity and how active our new coach is. I also like to see us getting back to recruiting local players. No more of this going to Michigan and Canada to recruit. 1 1 Quote
