Re: Recruiting: Class of 2017 and Beyond
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the JUCO route or any transfer route really unless it's a desperate need situation like our current transfers are. Vinnie was amazing, Andre Smith was fantastic and I do like Witz's game for the most part. But for every one of those guys you get a Chris Quayle (he was fine but could easily have matched his production with a 4 year player, a Jordan Horn who wasn't happy with his role and transferred again, Malik Clements, Drew Lundberg, Dylan Hale, Damar Wilson, DeJuan Flowers, etc. We've missed a lot more than we've hit on those guys so I much prefer 4/5 year players.

Drew Lundberg was a high school player, not a juco or transfer. Sidelined by injury, and never really saw the court. But I get your point.
Re: Recruiting: Class of 2017 and Beyond
Lundberg was a transfer from Northern Iowa.

You’re thinking of Joel Lindberg I think.
Speaking of Drew Lundberg, pretty crazy to see all the MN state football receiving record he still holds. Damn!
Re: Recruiting: Class of 2017 and Beyond
Richman’s priority and plan was the WI high school PG that signed at SIU. When we missed on him, the juco came into play. Can’t fault DR for going after the WI PG hard, but you don’t win em all. He’s going to be a good one in my estimation. Would have been a 4 year starter here.
We’ve got some work to do, but need to pursue getting on par with the top teams in the MVC, like UNI. SIU is/was not better than Ndsu this past year, but their BB commitment is probably ahead of us.
Need to get the arena fixed, and get the fans going to the 4000+ level each game.
Re: Recruiting: Class of 2017 and Beyond
We had been setting our sights on some really good PG from high school but we have not able to land them.
Guys we had serious interest in that we were not able to reel in at the PG position:
Dalton Banks, PG 2020, Eau Claire WI - Committed to SIU
Drake Dobbs, PG 2020, Eden Prairie - Committed to Liberty
Calvin Wishart, PG 2018 Delano - Committed to Georgia Southern and is now transferring to Santa Barbara
Tyler Johnson, PG 2016 Minneapolis North, going to NFL from Gophers football
Lamonte Bearden, PG 2014, Germaintown WI, committed to Buffalo transferred to Western Kentucky later.
I think our lack of success has forced us to start recruiting JUCOs at the position.

Along with Wisconsin, Ohio State, Iowa State, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. I would love for him to go to one of those schools.

I would love to have him come to NDSU; I'm thinking of his parents...…...they wouldn't have so far to drive to watch him play.
