2025-2026 Season

[ND-fan]

I would disagree on some of our young talent. Some of you two years ago saying same thing about our young talent and  look how that talent developed to where they were scooped up by schools that play in higher level conferences. Our players went to schools like Baylor, Dayton, San Francisco, and NDSU ( now 40 something school in NCAA) and couple playing small midmajors.  Playing freshmen and sophomores  these players are going to look not ready or capable of playing at DI level. Especially when we have been playing 3 to 4 at time.  There are very few freshmen and sophomores that can be above average. Finanlly number of these sophomores had very little playing time sitting on the bench the year before they came here.

South Dakota has some success with there transfers but looking at there roster they will be looking again next year starting over and they are going have difficult keeping there young talent recruited. Yes we have at least 5 graduating after this season. I also think we will see few transfer but  if they go I believe they will moving down to game playing time. Some of them if they are not happy will be okay to loose if they can’t buy into program but I see players like this in long run will never reach level of play they desire. There are several players on this team have talents but you can see they need to work on there game to become more rounded player because you can’t have big wholes in your game. I still think we’re rebuilding right way to build this program but we also need things to sell this program to attract top talent look what improvements in football and softball has helped move needle. Basketball is long over do on facilities the Betty should be solely home of Volleyball and we need whole new facility for basketball that looks like division I facility.
