    KC's other stud guard Mitchell also entered yesterday. Nelson's offers and NIL money will make what Baylor got look like peanuts. If he goes, the Jacks should be the clear cut pre-season Summit favorite.

      I just don't get the hype with Grant Nelson. I haven't watched ALOT but afaict he's 6'11 and can jump and shoot it decently well. Not great, but good enough against the competition he plays. Like BS, it would be interesting to watch him in a high major conference, but of course it would again deplete the SL.

        I kind of feel the same way that you do, but it deserves a little dive into the numbers of when we played the Bison this year..

        We played the Bison three times this year and here were his numbers:

        In Fargo: In Brookings: SLT:
        Points: 17 Points: 27 Points: 20
        Rebounds: 8 Rebounds 15 Rebounds: 22
        Assists; 3 Assists: 2 Assists: 2
        Blocks: 1 Blocks: 0 Blocks: 2
        FG: 7/16 44% FG: 10/13 77% FG: 6/13 46%
        3pt FG: 1/6 17% 3pt FG: 2/3 67% 3pt FG: 1/4 25%
        Minutes: 36 Minutes: 30 Minutes: 39

        In Fargo, I thought Nelson wasn't very effective and we did a good job on him defensively and he still had 17 & 8. In Brookings, he had a very quiet 27 and 15 in shich he had some foul trouble. Both Zeke and Nelson put on a show that night. In the SLT tournament, he was the best player on the floor hands down.

        Combining his length and agility with his stats and he will command plenty of attention. His being in the portal will be interesting. He should get some crazy NIL offers.

        Will be interesting to see his path forward and compare it to Daum. I'd think Daum's game projected a little better to the pro game but I'm not qualified to make that argument.

        Finally, it is sad to see all these players leaving the conference. That may benefit the Jacks in the short term but it hurts every team and the conference long-term. The NIL sucks but I sure don't blame the kids for taking advantage of the opportunity.

          Length and numbers. No doubt about that ! Personally, I'd like to see him in a Hawkeye or Badger uniform. Maybe SDSU could catch him in the non-conference. Road game of course.

            According to college BB writer Jeff Goodman, Grant Nelson is withdrawing from the draft and is looking for a new school to transfer to. The Summit has lost almost all of its first and second all-league players to graduation or the portal. Zeke is the only first teamer left, and McBride from ORU is the only one left from the second team. This should make the Jacks the odds-on preseason pick to win the conference title next season.

              Easily pre-season favorite even though its probably not worth boasting about. Good to see that Zeke has embraced the yellow and blue for next year. Could be a surprisingly good one I think.

                Hard to reach the Summit when they turn the Summit League into the Farm League.

                      Just saw this. The commit was reported by a couple of national reporters, but very well might not be a done deal.

                        If true, is bad for the Summit League.

                            Looks much more official now: Grant Nelson to Alabama.

                              Sounds like he needed to complete a summer class at NDSU in order to have enough credits to transfer and be eligible right away.

                                It appears Trey Phipps is leaving ORU & BJ Omot will be leaving Grand Forks.
