MKR, I can't keep up with all these names. Thanks for doing this. Are we recruiting that kid from Oral Roberts, Max Abmas?

I haven't seen anything official on that so I haven't included him. I would think that the Shox are at least in contact.

This would be a wonderful start and hopefully will incentivize KP to re commit and others to take a harder look.........like Clemence from Ks and Grill. Clemence went to Sunrise. I know there are others but these three with Abmas would make us dancers.

Thought this was interesting...

"The obvious take is that he'll follow coach Paul Mills to Wichita State, where the former ORU coach upgraded after this season. Seems unlikely.
How much NIL cash is available at Wichita State compared to, say, Texas or Baylor?
Abmas would have free rein with Mills, no question. But maybe it's time to get paid instead."

"He was must-see basketball, the star of the league and a national media darling in a conference that simply doesn't generate a lot of heat. It was unfortunate Abmas played for a coach who generally wasn't well-liked around the league, by either opposing teams or the handful of non-fanboy media that covers the Summit, because the negativity muted some of the celebration around Abmas."

If Abmas comes, that could either make it easier for players to come here knowing we'll be successful, OR make it harder because he takes a higher volume of shots. Which is fair.

But get him + a good shooter or two and this team's prospects change in a heartbeat.

Sheesh. This NDSU columnist sounds salty that other teams have surpassed them for the past three seasons.

(I know you're just sharing the article, but man, what a maroon).

Ya. It has been reported that HCPM has some animated sideline demeanor that rubs some in conference the wrong way. Sound familiar?? I personally love it.
