Re: Catch all Recruiting thread
North Dakota State women's basketball head coach Jory Collins has announced the addition of Amelia Hobson to the 2024 signing class.
Hobson joins the Bison from Parkdale Secondary College in Parkdale, Australia.
"We're super excited to have Amelia joining our program," said Collins. "She is just scratching the surface of what she has the potential to become. Amelia is a long 6-1 guard with very good athleticism and is already highly skilled. For a young player, she has a great feel for the game and makes everyone around her better. She also fits our developing culture with her work ethic and commitment to the game. She has a very high ceiling and it will be fun to work with her when she gets here."
Hobson finished her career surpassing the 2,000 career points mark with 2,221. She was the fourth-highest scorer in the Victorian Championship League with 145 total points this past season. Hobson was also selected to the under 18s Victorian State Team, which recognizes the top 10 players in the state.
Hobson joins Claire Stern and Marisa Frost in the 2024 class after the duo signed back in November.
The Bison finished the 2023-24 season with the most wins in the NDSU Division I era with a 22-12 overall record and went on to make their second straight appearance in the Women's National Invitational Tournament

She is a point guard, which we really haven't had in Jory's tenure.

Not really fair to say, Heaven was a point guard, she just drew so much attention that the offense worked better with Shulte running the point. Glad to see we went to get one though, as much as Leah has some great skills in the half court she get the ball stolen from her WAY to often, Schulte coming back for one more season is huge but we needed to shore up that back court for sure.
Amelia looks like the real deal, going to guess she's going to do her best to fill the Elle Evans role at the 3 spot. With her & Graham there and Abby K able to work in at the 3 as well Jory is building back depth nicely.

So Molly was the ‘player to be named later’ after we traded Boden to ISU? Modern college athletics is so confusing.

Excited for this new chapter! Roll herd - Horns Up - Bison #gradtransfer
Transfer from Wisconsin - younger brother Zach has signed to play football at NDSU. Only played a few minutes all season for the Badgers. Looks like the 6’ 4” Vanderpool has 2 seasons of eligibility - from Byron MN originally.

Some much needed big depth, will allow Draper and Simon to play a little more physically and have to worry a little less about foul trouble. Jory filling another need.
