[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

*****Disclaimer - Couldn't find a thread to add this in.Impressive. Thanks for the heads up. I would like to see more Cali recruits as well, they always pan out for the Bison.

This program keeps it going. I would really like to know what needs to be done differently to get out of the 1st round in the NCAA tourney. I know the players we have are more than good enough to get us in the tourney. But lets start to take that next step on a regular bases (basis), did you see what I did there? Always enjoy watch the team play. Too bad they can not have more home games but winter/spring gets in the way. The new field may allow for games to be played sooner.

[Answer Guy]

Its freaking basketball for shit sake. You put the ball in the hoop. There are thousands of players out there that can do that. JFC why is it so difficult here??????

Actually, it's softball.

this is KIND OF a recruiting thread.

NDSU needs to check out this young lady in faribault mn.
Faribault's McKayla Armbruster struck out 33 batters in a 3-1 win in 15 innings Friday at Rochester John Marshall.


Falcons senior is 8-0, has pitched 62 innings, recorded 131 strikes and given up an incredible zero walks.

she's verbally committed to Mankato State.. but would totally flip with a D1 NDSU offer.

I don't believe you can call kids that have signed.

[El_Chapo]

call and flip this girl.

She signed with MSU. I don't see how you could call and flip her without an NCAA violation. If she transferred on her own she would have to sit out a year unless she moved down. Good luck with that.

[El_Chapo]

she's a senior. recruits get flipped all the time

When they verbal they can be flipped, not after they sign. According to her twitter page, she signed. It can't be that hard to understand.

and now mckayla has won minnesota softball player of the year. shame that ndsu couldn't recruit her earlier.. (or she could leave on her own volition)I don't agree with you often, but this one I will say intrigues me a little...still. But, there could be many reasons why she is not at NDSU or any other DI school for that matter.

[El_Chapo]

its all good. i just heard her 33 K's story and kept following

[El_Chapo]

her final season numbers hit sports illustrated today:
