Future Rosters

If you want to see Ellie Colbeck play, this link should get you to the Fergus Falls Otters state championship game vs Providence Academy. They are led by 8th grader, Maddyn Greenway. She is the daughter of Chad Greenway and is a 1000 point scorer before getting to high school. I watched the Fergus game last night. Colbeck seems to have good court vision. She is a good passer and has a nice shot. Last night was the first time that I watched her play, despite living less than 2 miles from the Otters home gym.

I had a few minutes on. Colbeck is great. She will be an excellent tandem with Paige Meyer. Greenway is equally impressive. I know SDSU is recruiting her but hard to imagine she doesn’t end up at a P5 school. Tomorrow’s game vs the Gophers has to be big for our MN recruiting if we continue to beat them like we have in the past.

Colbeck ends up with 41 of 53 FF's points. Just not enough offensive help from her teammates. Played all 36 minutes. She can definitely contribute right away. Can take it to the basket in addition to hitting the 3.

Thanks for the link. She looks to be like quite the shooter!

I feel much better about next season with the way she could step in for Meyer. I’ve been told she was very under-recruited.

Transfer Portal Surprises - after the tournaments, watch the transfer portal. Do NOT expect Jacks to lose anyone. However, I do expect worthy players/targets to appear to add further skilled depth.

History, before one-time transfer rule hits the fan ...

21-22: 354 entries (so far...)
20-21: 1,159
19-20: 490
18-19: 589
17-18: 453

Idk, I could see movements with Theunick, Vlastuin, and Nesheim. I’ve heard unsubstantiated rumblings about LT and she looked completely lost against Ohio. Nesheim could choose to join Herzberg at Mankato. And MV seemed to haven fallen out of grace, so I could see her move down to Augie or another NSIC team.

I’m not saying any of these things happen, but with a strong class of 4 coming in and only losing one major player, there doesn’t really seem a path to more PT for any of these players. And LT really didn’t seem to take her demotion last game very well. Time will tell.

Vlasiun has the shot, but just didnt seem to have the athletic ability the rest of the family has. She seemed lost on defense.

Neshiem has the hustle and effort imho, but not a huge offensive threat but seems good defender and rebounding etc.

I feel like byom has the potential to get more playing time also.

the Giles kids are great kids!! but I think and hope that our WBB has reached a point where if we are going to be looking at ONE YEAR transfers we are not looking at 5'10 kids from naia schools

i am sure it is a stretch, but i want to hope we are not too far away from bringing in somebody like a sarah scalia for one year. and if that is completely NOT possible then i think there are still some other good ones between those two

it does not seem like that is a route that we will pursue too often, but i hope we can get players who feel more sure to step in and make a difference. I am NOT saying you could NEVER find such a player at an naia school Deb Remmerde could have transferred from northwestern to any school in the country and been an impact player so it could happen!! but probably not the normal place to look for a one year transfer

for those unfamiliar Deb was a kid who for 8 years of high school and college hoops averaged WELL OVER %50 from 3pt and %90 from the FT. if there is another one of those playing naia then sign us up))!!!!

She looks every bit as good as...ok, significantly better than a couple of players that are getting meaningful minutes right now. And 5' 10" is intriguing...

[da_coach]

Jessi could come in and play right away. Don't get it twisted... she played NAIA, but she was GREAT.

With 4 seniors leaving, and possibly a few others, I don't think an 1 year player as a stop gap, would be a bad thing at all.

And she can play.

I agree, we might be glad after the fact we took her. Unless, always that you know, we can get a transfer that's a game changer, since we can only take another player for 2022-2023, unless someone wants to leave also a possibility. We will be at 14 on the roster for 2022- 2023 as it is now.
