Not sure what the length of Walseth contract is. This year roster has 13 players on it. 4- freshman, 6 soph, 2 jr and 1 senior. Not sure if there are plans to red shirt the freshmen or not. 6'4", 6' 3", 6' 2" and 5' 11". Good height coming in.

Maybe the same time NDSU decides to replace their men's coach with someone who can actually make adjustments/run an offensive scheme that works?

My thoughts exactly, always an excuse for the extra scholarships available or why the roster isn't full...it's really getting old. Losing the local kids is disheartening as well, maybe NDSU basketball is taking the Tim Brewster approach to recruiting...

Speaking with an incoming freshman parent, although they would like to redshirt the freshman class, they probably won't be able to.

As for Maggie Manson, her dad played men's ball there. But can you blame her for going to the better program?

Kabo's dad attended UND for a year or so, her aunt and Uncle played sports at NDSU. Again, better program can't blame her.

I thought the previous posters were complaining that we didn't even try to recruit her.

Incredibly weak pre conference sched. Clearly an attempt to gain a winning record and look good to the AD. Not fooling anyone here. I think what,
3 NAIA teams and D1 teams from timbucktoo. (except co)

"Look good for the AD"? Does the AD help with the schedule ? Probably not fully done by the coach. Someone can correct me on that.But yes the schedule is weak.

"Looking good for the AD" is assuming we will actually win those games. :hide:

Umm, not a total surprise on the schedule to me.
They were, after all, 6-24 last season. Why not set the table to double (or possibly more) the number of victories this season? They also have to make up for IUPUI leaving the conference at the last minute, just like the men's team.
13 players on roster - 10 are freshman and sophomores (4 FR, 6 Soph).
One of the 2 juniors is a new JC transfer, so 1 returning experienced junior, Kennedy Childers, and senior Taylor Thunstedt.

Ok, but this was to be the weakest pre-conference sched since going D1. Unless Maren is artificially trying to have a nice record going into league, perhaps to save her ass from being fired. I don';t know what this will accomplish.

Mayville *
NJIT
UMASS
Valley City *
Navy
UMBC
Colorado
Milwaukee
Rio Grande Valley
UND
Cal Poly
Dakota State *

When I first saw this, I figured 2 things, one, no one wants to play us, or two, Maren is scheduling this to try to save her job. This is season four with her. smh

When to do the excuses run out? With this schedule we should be something like 9 and 3 going into conference.
