Sounds like Marley to JMU

Using USD coyotes as an example:  they have 4 legit big men on their roster, we have 1 big plus a small forward. This Serbian guy better be a 7 footer, cause you can't clog the middle with 1 guy all game.  Hope he has some offensive skills as well.  I like the rest of the squad so far, just get some height to go with them!  end of rant.      https://usdcoyotesports.proboards.com/thread/3277/goyotes-net-verbalcommits-matrix?page=1

Played for a conference championship with limited size and talent in the lane last year. St. Thomas has a great year with 6'7 being their biggest player.

Style of play determines how you recruit. Adding below average talent because they are tall is a recipe for losing. Define what you want to be and go play. Coaches have a plan and it was pretty darn good in the Summit last year

How has that worked the other 6 years?

In 6 years they've been in the conference semifinals at least 3 times and the conference championship twice. UND isn't the Duke of the Summit league but I'd bet there are 5 schools in the conference that haven't sniffed that success. If championships is your baseline for success, write a large.check to the 701 group and designate the money to the mens basketball program. In 2026, money talks and #&$^÷) walks

Hard disagree. It’s been proven you need a dominant 4/5 to win in the summit. These are the past summit league champions 
26 - ndsu front court 

25 - Marquel Sutton 

24 - William Kyle 

23 - Connor Vanover 

22 - Doug Wilson 

21 - Kevin Obanor

20 - rocky Kreuser

And how many stayed in the Summit league beyond those titles? You are asking freshman to win titles and UND trying to recruit kids who give them more years than 1. 

Also, shooters/athletes are available in much higher quantities the post players like Kyle. When your NIL money is limited you shop for players that you can find in bulk. You don't have to love how they're doing it but it is what is in college sports today. No one affiliated with UND mens basketball should apologize for what they've accomplished in the Summit the last 6 years with the financial resources they live with.

Make your donation. Mr. Bonzer will work with you on a financing plan. Until then, appreciate the work the coaches are doing to try and "hang banners." You aren't in the North Central Conference anymore

no offense to MR bonzer or white glasses but i think we need guys with last names like simonson, rydell, gershman, and or brown (not the mayor...the other rich guy) leading our nil efforts.

Not following. Leading in what way? Outside of writing the checks.

Is this our guy? He’s 6’8” but a guard. Has Serbian flag in bio.

He’s pretty stiff and the handle is really loose. I think he’d have to play the 4 at this level

We are the University of North Dakota.  The largest University in the Dakotas. For some strange reason NDSU is rated the best college in ND. Tell me why and why UND cannot field a top level MBB and WBB team year in and year out!  I am nearing 80 years old and am really tired of this scenario. Where is the problem?

It depends which ranking you are looking at.  

UND ranked #1 by Niche.

USN has NDSU at #232 and UND at #242

College Raptor has University of Mary #1, UND #2 and NDSU #3.

Stacker has UND #1 and NDSU #2 in North Dakota.
