I have been told that Yale/Randall are being redshirted. As for Malzer, he is getting some minutes, but not very many. I would guess that being he redhirted last year he is still giving up playing time to some of the upperclassmen. Hopefully these 3 ND kids will get their chance to shine in the next couple of years.

It will be interesting to see how Stewart at Minot and Herbst at Mary build their programs to compete in the NSIC, (Herbst has already been doing a good job) in my opinion the toughest D-II league in the country. Winona, Mankato State, St. Cloud and Augie are very good. They recruit much like mid major D-I programs, go after many of the same guys. We'll see where Northern State goes after Meyer's retirement, Duluth is better, Concordia-St. Paul, Wayne State, even Moorhead State. I"m a North Dakota guy, but I don't know that there will be much room on the roster for ND players.
Here's an example: I was in Sioux Falls and attended the St. Cloud State-Augustana game a few days ago. Great basketball game, high end athletes, skilled players, really good coaching. Cody Schilling for Augie is a bigger, more athletic, faster, version of Joe Hanstad. Same for Taylor Witt of St. Cloud (I know they are older, I've seen them both play a number of times over the years. Joe has time to grow physically, this is no knock on Joe.) Cam McCaffrey for Augie (from Oregon) is better than any point guard I've seen in ND in years. We don't have any big guys in the state currently that could go in and compete at that level. My point is that they recruit guys like Joe Hanstad, sometimes they get them, sometimes they don't, but we just don't produce many players like Joe Hanstad. Nate Wolters (6'3 guard) is lighting it up for SDSU, one of the best players in the Summitt league, and he was considering offers from the NSIC powers.
Like I said it will be interesting to see how Minot State and Mary move forward in the world of D-II.

It seems as a team, the hard nosed, hard work ethic style of play will allow them to compete with anyone. But when you try to insert them individually with a different style of play (college level), as you stated, they are not at the same level.
