This is his first year recruiting? Who recruited that great Juco talent on our team now?

I rag on Saul. Thank Tim Miles. Saul was just along for the ride.

All the negativity in this town sucks. :smh:

Some people are even negative, when there is nothing to be negative about.

The Saul P terrible recruiting continues....more (or less) to come. SORRY

give him time, he's only had two years of recruiting and only one class (Flowers) has been on the court yet... give it time.

OK, I am not a Saul fan.(recruiting or coaching) But as always I support him and the team (and all his recruits). I am just expressing my opinion...and when it comes to Saul and a certain young QB that I hope also does a lot better this year...my negativity does suck.

Go Bison!!

Fair enough, I just don't see what there is to be down about in regards to recruiting, he hasn't even had one class play yet.

IMO NDSU did beat that Jacks if Wolters plays for them. Save the scholly for someone who wants to win and be a Bison!!

What does Wolters choosing SDSU have to do with his desire to win? You can say straight up that he didn't want to be a Bison, but don't bag on the kid and make claims that he doesn't have the desire to win because he didn't choose NDSU.

Actually it was Miles who had trouble recruiting. Only one impact player after the Woodside class. I think the recruitng will really pick up under Saul (although he's as good of a coach as Tim, yet).

I will agree with the after Woody recruiting...but it was a good one!! I am just so dissapointed in the Juco transfer we got to help the fab four...I can't imagine there was not a better player out there.

Settle down rubes...my take on Saul is just from what I have seen the past two years...maybe his recruits are gems and I am missing it. I wouldn't mind being wrong. I just don't need to turn things into a positive spin...and what fun would it be if we agreed all the time.

C'mon guys do you really think Saul is that good?:D

Go Bison!!

I'm much more concerned in Saul and the coaching staff to develop the players we do have before I am with who they are recruiting. I think he's done a fine job over the last 2 years in player development and coaching the players to play within his system.

I know next year will be the true test but considering what he's done especially this last year I'm willing to give him the time, and benefit of the doubt. I'm not a Flowers fan at all, but hey, what do I actually know when it comes to what's going on in practice and behind closed doors. I'm also very impressed with where Tviedt's at in his development and to think we still have 2 more years of him is awesome.

The 2 and 3 star prospects are going to be very few and far between at NDSU, but that doesn't mean we can't compete at a higher level than the summit.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Saul's only recruits currently on the team Nagel and Flowers?

It's hard to really judge a guy's recruiting based on two players, one that hasn't even seen the court.

ndsubison1
04-30-2009, 08:38 PM
yeah you cant judge him based on ONE fricken year, that's just ridiculous... judge him in two seasons... i wont even judge him after next season, we're not expected to be the best again... it was his first year as a head coach at the D1 level, we're losing 3 of our best scorers ever... good grief. i will hold judgment of Saul for AT LEAST two more seasons...

IMHO Saul did a great job this year under pressure, and don't kid yourself, there was pressure.

The seniors structured their entire college career based on this one season and the one weekend (summit tournament) to get into the dance.

They not only continued to progress throughout this year, but they got to a point where I felt they were pretty dominant for the most part in conference. They might not have played great games, but when the game was on the line they ALWAYS came through.

From the OT game against an inferior UMKC team where they played terrible, to a season ending game at Oral Roberts for first place, which was HUGE. That game meant an auto bid for at least the NIT. They lose that game they are going into the conference tournament without any promises of any more games. They were down that entire game, stayed close enough to strike at the end, and then dominated the closing minutes and won. What was Oral Roberts home conference record or whatever up until that point?

Look at the conference tourney. Elimination time at the dream point of their entire college career. They struggled in the first game and almost blew it, and were resilient enough to hold on for the win. The Oakland game was like a carbon copy of the final regular season Oral Roberts game. They don't pull that through and there is no doubt in my mind that there season/career would have ended with an unresolved feeling, despite everything they accomplished.

They didn't only have expectations to get into the big dance themselves, but they had expectations and hopes from the entire community, and anyone who has any ties to NDSU basketball. Saul did an amazing job leading that group of kids, and keeping them focused and motivated.

Right on! The idea that ANYONE can have success coaching a talented team is one of the greatest fallacies in sports. Yes, the table was set for Saul and his staff, but they got the job done. They definitely deserve some respect. Now they will face a new set of challenges and I'm excited to see what comes next!

Who coached the Bison the year after Miles left?

Fine, I get it. To be a good Bison(viller) I must not have a dissenting opinion. I think Saul is the greatest...his in game decisions and preparation are obviously second to none. Never playing zone defense...genius!!
I also have to learn the Bville; I love this kid, he will make a great Bison***What he chose another school***what a freakn' loser, we didn't want him.

So you guys really DO think Saul is that good...or you are not sure and will get back to me in two years? (fair enough, it should be all his players/team then)

GOOOO BISON!!! (I support him wether I think he sucks or not)

You made two points. Both with frustration.

If you have followed Bisonville, you will have noted dissenting opinions. Many dissenting opinions. And there is some serious emotion with the associated spitting and spewing that takes place.

Your opinion is yours. I certainly do not believe that I should be telling you how to think. You may want to have the same approach with those on this board who differ with you. They are also entitled to their opinion.

Opinions which are expected to be accepted by others (which I believe to be your key point) require facts. Your stated opinion regarding Saul appeared to me to be sorely lacking in substianted facts. I would guess that others had the same reaction. The lack of a solid foundation and facts has more to do with your opinions not being accepted that the expectation that everyone is go go rah rah win team.

I agree with most of your second point. I believe it is inappropriate to vilify a kid simply because they choose a different school (or because they had a bad day). According to sources that I trust, Wohlers is an exceptional athlete who will be a part of the future SDSU success. I am disappointed that he is not coming to NDSU, but do not feel that he is any less of an athlete because of his decision.

You're more than welcome to your dissenting opinion and other's are welcome to our opinion that you're completely wrong (on this one at least).

My point would be that it's far too early to judge Saul's recruiting as being either good or bad. Time will tell.

I agree with you 100%. As I said in post #262. Settle down, this is just my take on Saul after watching him coach the last two years and my dissapointment with the Juco he brought in. (only facts I would have??)

I have no problem with the give him time argument and I agree with some of the difficulty issues he has faced...but, I was really curious if you/(Bisonville) thinks he is that good now? Surely wasn't trying to be an offensive question.

I guess I got my answer, you guys really think he is that good.

i had a brain fart, yeah this is his second year... my bad. But that's besides the point...

yeah you're entitled to your opinion, but it doesnt mean it's an intelligent one. Saul's had ONE recruit, ONE, who's played for him on the court. You're too quick to judge him, give him time. I think he's a decent coach, but we'll find out how good he really is when some of his classes get in the system and start to develop.

I'm just saying it's insane for you to base him on two years of work, especially after we went to the dance. Our first year wasn't too bad either... you can't judge him based on one recruit and a couple of seasons. Give it time...

Next season we lose a lot (4 starters and 3 of our top scorers ever), but we're bringing in some freshmen that will likely play right away, there will be some growing pains. I hope to god this place doesnt turn into what it did for football if we have a "down" year next year. That's part of being in division one... we're in our first year of eligibility, this stuff needs patience. I'm not going to judge Saul for another fews years and neither should anybody else...

Go Bison!!

Give me one...maybe two specific examples of POOR coaching moves by Saul last year. I am excited to hear this. I personally think you just don't like him. You can ask alot of people...including Miles, that think Saul did alot of great things last year with that bunch. They didn't peak, they continued to improve. Winning the road bracket buster. Winning the game at ORU to secure the #1 seed. One home loss to SUU...big deal. Everyone has a dog game, I have a hard time giving a coach too much credit, or too much blame. How about just saying a team made EVERYTHING they looked at.

Did anyone complain about Flowers when he had 13 points in the home game against ORU? I don't love Flowers, but to say he is a total flop is a joke. He can score on the low block...and will next year. He is the athletic big we wanted. Some people compare him to Kansas bigs, and that is just dumb.
So...go ahead with your examples.

unbison
05-01-2009, 02:09 AM
I think that Flowers did not really get to play last year...... I know some of you thought that he didnt work all the time down low..... I think that a lot of u would have done the same.... I saw him work in the post have a good seal and look for the ball.... and guess what it didnt come time and time again.... however his defense on the Oaklands string bean in Suck Falls was very good.... Awesome level of physicality and smack talking to that skinny little puke!

He can't score on the low block. He is completely uncomfortable with his back to the basket, he will turn and face the rim every time. He does have the two dribble then baby right hand hook. He has not developed a drop step or the use of his left hand. His hands are questionable at best. He is very athletic and will score on rebounds and open lay-ups.

Rube, I have no problem with you being critical of Saul's coaching. What bugs me is when people say Tim Miles was infallible. He was a very good coach, but he was far from perfect. I suppose when Saul goes to a bigger program people will say the same thing about him and how the new guy has so many shortcomings.

I see what your saying...I am a Tim Miles fan and that may be slanting my view?? But my comments on Sauls recruiting and coaching philosophy were meant to be in the spirit of "discussing sports with the guys over a couple beers" (if that makes any sense?) I think Saul is a great guy...just sports talk.

05-01-2009, 03:34 PM
The thing I think Saul brought the last few years was tenacity on Defense. He had them boys playing some good D and that helped make the difference and let us win on the opponents court. Most of the time when we needed the big stop they were coached up good enough to come through and get it done.

BisonBlogger
05-01-2009, 06:09 PM
You beat me to the punch BisonFANatic.

If you go back to the first year in the Summit, we just didn't hold up defensively. Everybody knew we could score but weaknesses with on-the- ball, post and transition defense killed us, especially on the road in the 2007-2008 season.

I think everyone can agree that to a man the players improved both their indiviual and team defense in the 2008-2009 campaign. We lose to Oakland all three times without tremendous defensive efforts. We shut down Lewis in the second half at ORU to clinch post season.

Saul did that.

unbison
05-03-2009, 12:47 PM
Do you think that Saul will at least work on a zone defense to change things up
I think this could be a big plus..... When a team is hot or we cant contain one person... A zone defense could be a momentum breaker

BisonBlogger
05-03-2009, 04:20 PM
I don't think we will ever seen any kind of zone defense from this coaching staff. I think I heard them explain that the way they teach man defense has zone principles already employed by the way they help on driving and passing lanes.

Zone defenses like anything else must be practiced extensively in order to be good at them otherwise you run the risk of too much standing around and not applying good enough ball pressure.

Another point is that if you can't get a lead with your man or base defense, how would you expect to come from behind with a zone defense.? It is just not done.

unbison
05-03-2009, 05:50 PM
I disagree.... some of the runs that Syracuse has made over the years has been because of boheim running an interesting or unique zone.... If he doesnt understand bball not sure who does?

We are a mid major and gonna be out manned often times against bigger schools so I think it would be a good thing to have in the bag..... It would be like a football team using no zone coverage in the secondary... you just dont see it

i agree with you...just have it there in case and just to give the other team something else to look at when they're on offense....i'd guess all of these players have played zone in high school it really doesn't take that long to work on.....and if ran correctly its effective.

"Chad's offers include Colorado State, Auburn, Northern Iowa, North Dakota State, Wisconsin-Green Bay, and Harvard,"

I guess we have a chance but it sounds like Timmy Miles really wants this kid. He also has interest from a ton of schools, and it wouldn't take much for a 6'10 kid to draw even more offers.

"We have the same expectations as last year," Vaughan said. "We want to win the conference and get to the NCAA tournament. But I think outside our team, people feel we won't be as good and that we have nothing. I don't think there will be high expectations. We're out to prove people wrong."

Gotta love it!

This guy made his prediction of 17-1 very, very, very sarcasticly. So, really, the joke is on all you guys who keep bringing it up...but hey, I can't wait till next year either so we can settle it on the court;)

I can second this; the guy who said this is incredibly sarcastic and wanted Nagy fired asap.

I personally think the Jacks will got 13-5 in the Summit, so go ahead and play around with that prediction :bow:

Ok ill go with that, but what will bunny nation think of Nagy if you end up with another year like this year? Afterall its seriously not like you guys are improving 100%. I'm not saying you will suck but its funny how your fans think they will definitely contened for the championship and we will finish near the bottom!

I don't think you guys will finish near the bottom, that's for sure. If I had to guess, I'd put us right about where kemo has us at 13-5 with you guys right about the same mark, maybe a little lower. And if Nagy ends up with another year like this year (which he won't) people will say again, "wait till next year." Why? Because he's finally bringing in some good recruits. I haven't been too excited about SDSU mens bball for a long time but I am for this year. Can't really explain it, something just feels different....like we're FINALLY over the hump....

Just facts: Our kids have learned and watched the best group of seniors to ever play in the program. It is a mentality. The SDSU kids have never watched a road win. Just because you have upperclassman, does not mean you will dominate. I do think SDSU will be good....just not great. I think Kai Williams is the most overrated player in the league, and was better as a freshman. Every coach in the league takes it right at him. He is yet to stop anyone. I think we finish in 4th right behind SDSU, and everyone chases a dominate Oakland team. Bad year for SDSU to be good, because it just won't matter. Nobody beats Oakland.

No doubt Oakland will be strong and should win the conference regular season by two or three games but there will be a key ingredient missing if they get in close games in the conference tournament and that's Kangas. There were better players in the Summit over the last two years but no better "Big Shot" maker in the league. That guy was cold blooded and lived for the big shot.

As was well documented, it took Woody eight trys to hit a game winner. I don't know the total number, but Kangas had at least two against us and I am sure he had a few more in his career. Many, many players never get one in a career.

Completely agree. And while our kids have never watched a road win there is a tradition of winning for the SDSU program. I think we saw glimpses of the kids beginning to feel that last year. As a fan, I felt it a few times. And, I gotta tell you, I missed it. I hope it's back. Kai needs to step it up, no questions asked. Look who was on the floor in the last few minutes of the ORU game in Sioux Falls...he wasn't one of them and it wasn't because of foul trouble. In Kai's defense, many times he's gaurding the other teams PF, and we all know he isn't big enough to play the 4. At times, he really works his tail off on defense. My concerns with him aren't on defense, it's offense. He elevates so high on his jump shot and can get to the rim. But he seems to be satisfied with setting screens and passing the ball around the perimeter. It can be frustrating to watch.

My 2 Cents...

Kai was better as a freshman and took a step back last year. He came out of the gate slow and never regained his confidence, he may not be a superstar but even in a bad year he averaged 10 pts and 7 reb.

As far as our road woes, they've been documented and they defiantly need to change for us to contend for top spot next year. Don't think our upperclassmen don't have a chip on their shoulders. 2 road losses were from half court buzzer beaters, at Oakland they hit a shot to win it in the closing seconds and at UMKC a wide open layup rimmed out at the last second. That's 4 losses that were decided by a few positions, so I don't think they are too far off. Although we were bad on the road, we were tough at home going 7-2 with 1 of those games (NDSU) we lost in OT.

As far as NDSU players learning their "mentality" from last years seniors, it doesn't really matter if they don't have the talent to produce wins. Not necessarily saying that they don't, but we will find out in six months. Besides Oakland, W. Illinois, & UMKC, the rest of summit will be battling all year in the standings and it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

05-08-2009, 04:17 PM
Good conversation. Even by the Jack fans!!! I think Kai is average at best, but he is a supreme athlete. That is how he gets all of his rebounds. I thought he would be better...eventually, but every coach will go at him. No question the Jacks changed their image last year at home, and had a big win against ORU.

I think it is key for coaches, for starters, for backups to learn, to watch, to play in close games and learn how to win. I do think that SDSU has the edge based on experience, I just disagree with some people saying that "senior leadership" is the key. If you aren't good enough, you aren't good enough. SDSU will be in the mix next year. Some solid players that play the game the right way. Good to see Nagy have a good recruiting class too. Wolters will be starting at point next year.

i remember watching Kai his sophomore year and I was quite impressed... I thought he was going to be one of the best in the Summit; then all of a sudden this season happened and when SDSU played us at the BSA he was nowhere to be found.

From the games I've seen, Kai is an incredibly soft player and gets pushed around. I'm not sure if he's playing out of position or what the deal is.

05-08-2009, 08:41 PM
I can tell you exactly what happened. Someone or maybe many people got in his ear that if he wants to play at the next level he would need to develop guard skills because of his size. Not unusal for guys in the 6'5" range to think this way. What happens is they think too much and disappear when the game is on. It is always difficult for Tweeners.

Give a guy like Winkleman credit as he falls into this Tweener category as well. He used what natural tools he had to work with and improved every year as a Bison.

Sounds like Taylor Filipek of Wilmar has had a great start to the AAU season. Definitely worth keeping an eye on him.

FROM GOPHER ILLIUSTRATED
Despite the fact that he missed out on the Jayhawk Invitational all-tournament team Taylor Filipek deserves outstanding mention for his performance on the big stage. His buzzer beating shot against the St. Louis Gateway sent the Comets into a game with the Colorado Chaos who the Comets handled as well. In the final 4 against the KC Pump N Run Trevor Releford led his team to a 15-1 start and the Comets played from behind the entire afternoon. Fillipek's 25 points helped get the Comets within three but they never did get any closer. For the weekend the Comets finished with a 5-2 record.

THIS PAST WEEKEND AT THE SABES INVITE
I watched Filipek's Comets team lose to Harrison Barnes and the All Iowa Attack Red by 5 points, but Filipek outshined both Barnes and Butler recruit Zach McCabe. I had him for an unofficial 23 pts., 9 rebounds and 8 assits. Much to the chagrin of Barnes, he was blocked twice by Filipek...one pinning the ball on the backboard and the other at the front of the rim. Barnes would later posterize Filipek with a high flying dunk though. The combination of Filipek and Alex Hanks held Barnes to 7 and McCabe to 6.

Aaberg looks very athletic for a big kid, he really looked nice in running the floor in that video. As for Braun, what didn't that kid do in that game tape? I saw him attack the basket, run the point, bury a three, crash the boards, and make some real nice passes.

Saul and his staff did a great job, this class could be very special.

I don't know if I've ever seen a 6'9" kid in this area who can run, catch, handle the ball, and block shots like Aaberg. He is very raw and he needs to get a lot stronger, but his "upside" might be as high as anyone who has played at NDSU. We will have to be patient with him, but he really wants to be a Bison, and I think it is a match made in heaven. :)

NDSU has officially offered Mendota Heights Sibley's Jake Kreuser. There are 3 bigs for the 2010 class that could go Mid- High major in Minnesota this year.

The Gophers have not offered (Calcaterra had an offer under Monson at one time) any of the 3 yet. They recently offered a big out of Nebraska and a big from New Mexico. I would expect if they do not land one of them, one of the 3 Minnesota guys would be next in line to receive one.

If not, NDSU just has to hold off the Colorado State's of the world and they could have their first ~7 footer in a long time.

Supposedly he holds a high GPA as well ~3.80 range

"The recruiting has really picked up in the spring," Jake stated. "I recently have gotten offers for UW-Green Bay and North Dakota State, and earlier in the year I got an offer from Santa Clara. I have taken a lot of calls from Ivy League schools like Penn, Princeton, Yale, and Cornell. I have also received some notice from some schools closer to me like Loyola (Chicago) and South Dakota. I have also gotten some interest from Colorado State as well."

Since there has been some talk of Jackrabbit recruits over here I thought I would post this bit of info that was posted on the SDSU board. Jacks are likely at the top of the list for 6'8" Jordan Dykstra. He was an Iowa State recruit. The teammate he mentions is 6'9" Marcus Heemstra--a Jackrabbit recruit. I'm excited to see how the next couple of classes for NDSU and SDSU pan out.

“As far as my future plans, I am not sure what will happen. I have not had much contact from colleges about basketball since I made my verbal commitment, so I hope there are some schools that will be interested in me. Some schools have talked to my football coach about me playing college football, so that might be an option. I have talked with my teammate Marcus Heemstra about playing together in college. We have been playing together since 4th grade, so we thought that would be great too."

"Butler, North Dakota State, Iowa State, Northern Illinois, Drake, Wisconsin-Green Bay, New Hampshire, Denver, Colorado State, Loyola-Chicago, Bucknell, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northern Iowa, and Minnesota are all teams that I know have expressed interest," said coach Miller.

Absolutely. I think of the damage a combo like Aaberg/Braun/BJORKLAND could do and what kind of noise they could make in the Summit and I need to change pants. I am seriously digging this Taylor Braun dude and I really feel he is going to be a clutch player for the Bison, and adding Bjorkland to the team would be a massive cause to come down with a case of Bison fever.

Per MinnesotaPreps, we can add Steve Tecker (http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=96609), a 6'5" junior forward from Superior, WI to the "interest" list. Tecker already has offers from St. Louis U and Bucknell.

Here's a good article about him (NDSU is not mentioned):
http://www.superiortelegram.com/articles/index.cfm?id=34544&section=sports

MinnesotaPreps is now reporting that Tecker has been offered by the Bison. He is considered a strong wing with good athleticism. Note that the Bison are not backing off even though this kid already holds offers from MVC and A10 schools--that is symbolic of the rise of the program.

This is the first season for MN Pump N Run, Jake Krueser used to be on the team but left due to playing time, Mike Rostenpour also holds an NDSU offer, and Winona 7 footer Alec Brown is on that team. They also have Carlos Emmory who could be big time after a year in prep school.

The Pump n' Run team is imploding. Krueser is not the only one who has left. Their coach is gone, Dyami Starks left in the middle of a tournament and I think Rostampur is gone as well? Tecker was not at their last tournament. Emmory can't play with them any more since he signed with a Jr. College to play this fall. Significant chaos in this new programs first year.

Some more names to watch:


Coaches from North Dakota State (Dave Richman), South Dakota State (Austin Hansen), and Wisconsin-Green Bay got up early to check out Paul Jesperson's heroics against Old Gold. Then in his next game Jesperson drew coaches from Stanford, Colorado State, UWGB, Drake, South Dakota, North Dakota State, and South Dakota State once again.

http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=88940


North Dakota State head coach Saul Phillips sat through a full contest of Yuriy Malashenko and the Minnesota Fury playing against Lucas Brown and the MSB Roadrunners. In front of Phillips and other coaches Brown opened the game with his offensive arsenal scoring on a pull-up jumper, an athletic drive, a three-pointer, a transition score, and a putback.

I saw Malashenko play at the tournament and I like his athleticism, length, and ability to knock down the 3. He is listed as 6'7" on MN Fury's website but I see him being more like 6'5", 6'6" at the most. What's our interest level in him? Have we extended an offer?

Malashenko's only offer thus far is from Augustana, but his stock could grow with some strong showings the rest of the month. A relentless rebounder on both ends of the floor. Agree he's probably around 6'5"-6'6"

Gruis did not choose USD over SDSU.

I thought this had already been discussed somewhere here on Bisonville, as I know it has been discussed at length on our board, but Gruis' offer from SDSU was pulled back in April. It is supposedly now on the table to Jordan Dykstra, the Rock Valley, Iowa HS player who committed (and now since has decommitted) to Iowa State as a freshman in high school. Read more here: http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009906260325

In all likelihood, Gruis will be a good player at USD. He is said to be playing really well in AAU ball this summer. I wish SDSU would have landed him too.

Not a big surprise as we really haven't had any indication that the Bison have been in serious contention for Calcaterra. Many observers have opined that he will end up at a major conference school. He certainly has a nice list of schools to visit.

A recent article states that NDSU has offered Jake Krueser along with a few others Mid Major schools. NDSU has not offered Alec Brown (SDSU and 10 others have). It sounds like both are going to wait and not sign during the early period. Both appear to want to go High Major. Minnesota has not contacted either in a long time and seem to be focused on out of state bigs at this time.

not too sure about that. what i am saying is that i don't think dan monson would have offered calcaterra, of all people, while he was a freshman in high school considering this is going to be tubby smith's third season at the U of M. that he has ever had an offer from anyone at the U of M is highly unlikely.

Calcaterra Did have any offer from Minnesota but it was from two years ago. Saul went and watched him scrimmage and then Chad came down for Midnight Madness and he was offered then. The offer was based mostly on anticipated improvement and potential. While Chad still has alot of potential, he has not become the elite player some projected him to be. MN has had limited contact with him over the past year and his offer was pulled awhile back. Krueser is a whole different mess and it's anyones guess where he will end up, I don't think NDSU is real happy with him at the moment.

The commonality is that I don't see anything fishy in either thing. Didn't Bison great Charlie Stock* go to NDSU for pre-law and then graduate with honors (maybe even Summa Cum Laude) from UND's law school?

* Disclaimer: Included because of a guilty conscience. When I was at NDSU, I saw somebody being a dick at the BSA and thought it was Stock so I badmouthed him to a buddy at a Bison game (basically said, "Bah nice play but he was being a real *** at the BSA the other day.") Turns out I was wrong and it was so mortifying that I resolved never to gossip or repeat gossip again. Anyway, that incident is the root cause of my intolerance towards gossip - especially "negative" gossip. Now you know why - not that anybody asked :)

LONG and blocked or tipped a ton of shots.
The PG was so smooth. Combo guard is crazy long and athletic. 40 inch verticle. We need these kids. They would provide us something that we need....especially with the injury to Freddy...which isn't good.

I've been in a correct answer slump lately, so take this with a grain of salt.

If Freddy redshirted before, I'm almost certain he will not be able to get a medical hardship waiver. The NCAA views the 5th year you get to complete 4 years of competition as a way to deal with unexpected events. If you choose to use that year for development, the NCAA counts it against you if you get hurt.

If no redshirt:
1 injury = nothing happens; 4 years in 5
2 injuries = get hardship waiver; 4 years in 6

If redshirt:
1 injury = nothing happens; 3 playing years in 5(redshirt year effectively counts as a playing year)
2 injuries = hardship waiver; 3 years in 6

First page is now updated...here is an ESPN evaluation of Wright from July...


July, 2009: Wright excels in open court situations where he can use his athleticism to his benefit. He has the ability to score the ball in the paint with different finishes and uses the rim wisely to protect himself. Trayvonn was able to rebound the ball outside of his area and grab the ball at its highest point. However, he was uncomfortable with physical play and needs to learn how to take advantage of his quickness to combat opponent's strength. Wright has limitations with his ball handling skills; he has no lateral movement in his dribble and cannot easily shift positions; when cut off on drives, he will spin. He has made tremendous strides since the end of the high school season and has a lot of upside.

This week Butler, Wichita State, and Missouri State are coming in to see him.

DJ Peterson: Good talent with the potential to be great. I evaluated and watched him play several times last basketball season and he has excellent athletic ability. He's a handy defender with a decent left-handed stroke from deep. If he improves his long-range shooting, he could EASILY be a four-star talent. His leaping ability is well above average. He's well coached and has had a great deal of success at the high school level. He was the sixth man on the most talented boys hoops team in Minnesota State High School League history.

Marcus Williams: He will be suiting up next season. Probably the best on-ball defender in the state of Minnesota as a senior in 08-09. His former teammate, Royce White -- who is the Gophers' highly-touted freshman -- told me he (Williams) was the best defender in the COUNTRY. Great court vision with a ridiculous assist-to-turnover ratio as a senior. Jump shot needs a lot of work. Floor-burning true PG with a lethal first-step. Great football player as well.

We've offered him a scholly. He was injured over the summer and a few big schools have backed off for now. Gonzaga and Wash St. offered him but I believe they have backed off. He currently has offers from us and is getting plenty of interest from SDSU, Northern Iowa, Montana State, Colorado, Colorado State, and Minnesota and more. Not exactly sure who else has offered him

Jonah Travis from DeLaSalle - 6-foot-5 junior small forward

Offers include UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay, Northern Illinois, and Wofford.



"It's hard to tell who is the most interested right now," Travis explained. "I just had a good conversation with Northwestern (coach Mitch Henderson), I've talked to Princeton some, Colorado, Colorado State, Butler, UC-Davis who saw me play in L.A., all the Iowa schools have called (Iowa, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, and Drake), and NDSU. Lafayette and Montana have shown good interest as well. Columbia will be in Tuesday."

The coaching staff is getting in on some prime talent. They are really doing a great job and taking advantage of the notoriety they have received in the past year.

Really? You want the staff to wait until after signing day to talk to a top 100 kid? Ok. Sounds like a plan. He will be in for a couple days this week, but it doesn't look like for a game, had to work it around his schedule. Kid is in high school still.

SamsRams

OK top 100 recruit is a very big stretch. Harris is not even rated on rivals and only a one star on scout. Obviously I put little stock in this, just as I put little stock in ESPN having him the 15th best PG for 2010. The fact is NDSU going after the late bloomers and I think that is a smart move. So many of these big schools jump on players os early that they miss the kids that aren't very impressive at ages 14,15 and 16.
I love going after a PG!!!
I love recruiting in Illinois!!
I love what I have read about this kid!!

Watched Mandan, the number 1 ranked team in North Dakota class A beat Dickinson last night. Huge night for two underclassmen! Hanstad had 35 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists while being double teamed much of the game. For Mandan 6'7" junior Brian Kielpinski had 35 points and 14 boards, shooting 17 for 20 from the field. Are we looking at Kielpinski? Great body, huge wingspan, good hands, and a nice touch down low! Its not very often you see two players of this caliber in the same game out here in western North Dakota

Both of the kielpinski girls play WBB. Ones a lobos(NMU). I forget where the other went, both D1.

Well, this finally hit the internet, so I guess it is ok to post on B'Ville. This kid Chim Kadima is a freak. 6'4 Shooting Guard that at one point was a commit to Iowa State. McDermott was not happy when he decommitted, as he knows this kid is a Big 12 talent. He was the recruit that was here for our "Midnight Madness" show. He had a terrific visit and has some really tight ties to our program. Brothers played with and for some of our assistant coaches. He is a defensive stopper and that type of high major athlete that we are looking for.

If you do some internet searches, you can find some absolutely amazing info on this kid. Like the schools that at one point were recruiting him prior to his committment to Iowa State. I have been hoping to hear of a "verbal" from this guy for a long time. I think we have a good chance.

I am not sure if he will sign during this early signing period or not, but this kid is amazing and would form a crazy backcourt with a potential Jay Harris, Zastrow and Mike Felt.

He had a broken bone in his finger and a broken leg in each of his Soph and Junior seasons. Again, this kid is an athlete and very long.

Mr. Burgundy
11-15-2009, 08:45 PM
Here is a quote from Chim prior to accepting the Iowa State offer.


"I'm really excited about the offer," Kadima said. "It's really big for me."

Don't expect this to be the final offer Kadima sees before he makes a decision about where to play his college ball. Kadima says that he's getting attention from other high-major programs like Clemson, Washington State, Miami, Iowa, Louisville, Marquette, Arizona State, Northwestern and Penn State

Mr. Burgundy
11-15-2009, 08:47 PM
Kadima's recruitment came down to the Cyclones and Marquette mainly but Chim's brother, Biaya, said that other teams were starting to really take interest. Those teams include: Vanderbilt, Boston College, Minnesota, Iowa, Louisville and Arizona State.

Biaya said that Vanderbilt had previously planned to watch Kadima play next weekend and that from Louisville coach Rick Pitino had been showing interest as well. Along with Iowa State, Kadima had offers from UW-Milwaukee and UW-Green Bay.
_________________-

More quotes from when he verballed to Iowa State.

Mr. Burgundy
11-15-2009, 08:49 PM
Chim Kadima (Playground Elite) - As a 6-foot-3 and 185 pound point guard Kadima was at one point committed to Iowa State. He has since parted ways with the Cyclones and is open once again. After he de-committed Chim (also known as T.J.) heard from Minnesota for a little bit. He is ranked as the 7th best player in the state of Wisconsin.

Great article on the Jay Harris recruiting process today in the Fargo Forum. We had this kid until the ESPN "Top available" article came out. We still have a fantastic shot. He loves NDSU and had an amazing visit. Hard to blame a kid for wanting to play out his senior year and see his options. HOwever, we were on him first and the hardest. He knows that. NDSU wanted him a long time before an article made other coaches aware of him. They are coming in late as a backup plan. Jay Harris remains the priority for NDSU. Hey Tim Miles, go recruit against someone else....Come on Timmy. He went against SDSU on Wolters and Dykstra, and now is trying to get in on Jay Harris. Get out on the West coast and get bigtime players that make a difference.

Why does someone of his status not have to pay taxes? he has enough money he can afford them!

More important question and the reason why the tax break was ok with some people is when do they break ground on the other 4 rinks?

Tax breaks are given for projects like this all the time. I just want them to do what they said they were going to do and build the other 4 sheets of ice.

Joe Hanstad had 29 points in his season debut... if his scoring trend from the past few seasons continues, he will pass Jeff Boschee for ND's all-time leading scorer

I'm sure you meant the all time leading scorer in class a. Because the states all time leader is from the nd school for the deaf and has almost 4000 points for his career

Hanstad is ridiculous, even in ND competition nabbing this kid would be s steal for NDSU. He'd make a great complement to Bjork and Trayvonn.
