Catch all Recruiting thread

[SDHoopsfromSDSUFan]

I'm hoping Walseth can pull in kids who are D1 talent and who want to be Bison. A phenomenon that happened recently (and the stars may have to allign for this to happen) was the publicity and energy generated at Louisville when they landed Shoni and Jude Schimmel off the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Shoni is an elite talent who now is in the WNBA but while in Louisville native crowds flocked to home and away games to see her and visit with her after games. I don't know if there is a local Native American kid with that talent, that desire and that
Following but it would be a cool dynamic if it could happen.

Funny you mentioned that! This article should interest you then: http://www.lakotacountrytimes.com/ne...of_Neb_el.html

It's a bad point because there has been diversity on the roster in the past. Just because you choose to ignore that is on you.

This!!! Also we are going to recruit the best players we can get. PERIOD!! doesn't matter what their skin color is.

Jaye Two Bears from Shiloh is supposedly a D1 talent. I've heard she's received offers from schools "bigger" than NDSU also.

Best way to improve the Bison is to recruit Sioux?

Jaye is potentially out for the year with a knee injury.

That's too bad. Only a junior, hopefully she comes back 100% next season.

I somewhat wonder if this scare off the big schools and allow a school like ndsu to be a good choice.

A nice article on another local name to keep an eye on -
for you out-of-town folks who don't get the Forum, a name familiar to Bison football fans...........

Mira Ellefson - 5' 10" JR from Hawley

Mira is averaging 18.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.9 steals a game for Class 2A’s No. 4-ranked Hawley. She’s shooting 55 percent from inside the 3-point arc and 45 percent outside of it.

“What’s nice about Mira is she’s versatile,” Hawley girls basketball coach Bill Gottenborg said. “She can play inside or outside and for a girl her size, she can handle the ball really well. She’s tough too. It seems like girls just bounce off her down low.”
