This is huge. We got our top targets instead settling which is a huge step forward.

 @Harrythe fact that he has committed makes me think he was pitched with a chance to start after being a stalwart on the bench at NDSU. So maybe not a 4-guard look after all. 

Also note, his stats were accumulated while averaging just 18 minutes per game. He has the shooting ability to be a stretch four but also could fill the five role when Simmons goes to the bench.

Incredible haul the last two days.  Should be a MUCH deeper team next season and better equipped to handle injury issues that pressed so many of our guys into larger roles and longer minutes mid-year leading to late season fatigue.

I know this is being greedy but would love to see us snag Thomas Bell as well. I also think Shakeem Alcinder will be a big contributer next year. I heard the staff consider burning the red shirt towards the end of the season for this kid

But they did burn Alcindor’s redshirt, early in the season during non-conference play. And he picked up 10 fouls in 39 minutes. If the staff is high on Alcindor that scares me that Woolridge really is the one gone.

FYI, ran into coach mac a couple weeks ago and got to talking about next season and at that time, he talked about Ryan being apart of next years team

Loving our new size. 6’3, 6’4, 6’5, 6’8 and Zach at 6’10... and of course they can all play. We will have a whole new game plan! Better get your tickets!

I am told pump the brakes on Bell. I am not saying it won't happen. But there will have to be some movement. Also not sure if Deng announcement is going to deter Bell decision. Stay tuned

Uh oh. This makes me wonder if the staff has not prepared themselves for making room (i.e. the guys we feel may be on the bubble have not actually been informed that they might not be in the program’s future). Like we’ve said before, the staff giving scholarships to players who had no other offers and didn’t look like CUSA-level players is something they’re paying for now that recruiting has picked up.

They also may be working to back door to help place them at other programs. JC or Div ll school. You usually just don’t leave them hanging.

NDSU fan here. You will not be disappointed with Geu. Dude works hard and has some nice post moves. Can hit an occasional 3. Not a bad defender and has ability to guard players bigger or smaller than him. Sad to see him leave, as I really thought he deserved more playing time.

Maybe I’m deficient with the ncaa roster moves or something but I don’t understand why Ryan would choose to leave.   I know he graduated but I just don’t see him wanting to be a transfer. Has he said something to indicate that?   Why all the speculation about losing our PG?

I for 1 think losing Ryan from this roster would be a tragedy even with the new additions.

Not to rain on the parade, but are we getting giddy about an 18 minute a game reserve from NDSU? 

Not sure anyone is giddy.   However, if you check their message board you will see pages and pages of comments mostly very complimentary of this player. 

This guy didn't start, but he is a D1 transfer with very good numbers based on only playing 18 minutes a game. 

Looks like a near perfect player to back up Z. Simmons to me, maybe NT's biggest need.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
