It is. looking at USD and SDSU rosters. Few Twin Cities players. Obviously something was fundamentally wrong at NDSU the last couple of years in that they couldn't get local recruits, but the inability to keep players on the roster was an issue as well. Young lady from Cando leaving, Anna Goodhue (sp?) from Sioux Falls not staying. Not getting interest from the three that signed this year at UND.

i would also offer that the players USD and SDSU get signed are not under the radar like many football players that work out for the football team. Listening to an Omaha radio station one day about the bison FB team. They get players that no one else will see. The lineman from Beach or Annamoose are not on Nebraska or U of M's radar. Small town, far away, bison have first crack at them.

Ladies basketball. I would assume these young ladies are playing a top tier circuit of basketball. One local (fargo team ) is going to Chicago and Denver for tournaments. Alone with full straight of TC tournaments this summer. Another ND program out of bismarck is Going to vegas along with Chicago and cities lineup. So the young ladies in these cases are going to where the coaches can see them. And the South Dakota teams get them. Kudo's to them.
