NDSU is looking for a specific player that will make an immediate impact with their final scholarship. They are focusing on point guard and a post player but won't pass up a great player at other positions. Eric Carlson may play right away.

I think a key statement in that article is that says Coleman will be allowed to make the decision as to Redshirt or not.

What are the future roles of Vaughn, Coleman & Pennick? Do any of them have the potential to be point? Woody has shown what a great point can do.

Vaughn while originally expected to run the point coming in, just is not comfortable enough to handle it.

Pennick is the current PG of the future. Coleman is the athlete/combo guard, and Vaughn is the shooter....who hopefully finds the range.

I agree, Pennick should become more comfortable as time goes on filling the point guard role. He propably never will be much of a scoring point guard but he has the quickness and athletism to play the position.

He does a nice job with on-the-ball defense against the opposing teams point guard. Just needs to keep working on his ball handling to be strong enough with the ball to help against pressure or when Woody is out of the game.

Being able to handle without turning the ball over will be Pennicks biggest value to the team going forward. Just get the team into the offense and the rest of the guys can definitely score.

Although Mike Nelson is a natural 2 guard, his ball handling will continue to improve also which will allow him to fill in at point when needed.

I say Lukas Mooreman at point!

The thought of Pennick as the future pg of this team scares me quite a bit. Austin isn't a bad player but he makes it 4 vs 5 on the offensive end. He does add some solid D but at this point his ball handling isn't anything to write home about either. Here's to hoping either Pennick takes big steps to improve or we recruit someone so Pennick can come off the bench his whole career with some defensive energy.

Or Vaughn gets some confidence and figures it out.
