NDSU gets a transfer portal commit from VMI's leading scorer last season:

He has 2 years of eligibility remaining.
The good: he was VMI's leading scorer (15.1), leading assister (3.0), best 3pt shooter (37.0), and best FT shooter (87.0)
The bad: VMI was 1-28 against D1 competition last year
Kind of an odd fit since backcourt is one of the positions of strength for NDSU with DWT, White, Miller, and Dissette all returning but I suppose, at worst, he can fill Waddles spot as the backup PG and, at best, he could be part of a 4 guard starting lineup although that would be a very small team with two of them at 6' or under (they list DWT at 6' which seems generous). Still a worthwhile pickup it appears.
Im guessing he starts. Fills in for Skunny and can shoot it
Watkins had 9 games where he scored 20 or more last year. Here are his highlights…his bring the rain three will definitely be a fan favorite.

Watkins can shoot-----hope he can play defense or will be in Richy's doghouse quickly
