A few different people in this thread have already challenged that. Instead of you picking apart every D1 kid we've ever had, you tell us why transferring to a winning team will get you better recognition for college ball.
The first path towards recognition is getting your name in the press. And the bigger the press, the better. So, staying in Belcourt and being the standout on a team that will be covered by the Bismarck, Minot, Williston, Dickinson, and Jamestown press is way better for recognition than being covered by the Bottineau, Rugby, and various county press. Not dissing any quality of those outlets, but the circulation/range/viewership of the big city press is better for recognition.
If Knife is after exposure, she's better off in Belcourt. If exposure is not the key, the answer is most likely wins and losses, which is no reason to transfer.
BTW: Justin Anderson of Valley City played D1 basketball with Shaquille O'Neal at LSU. No state tournament. Jada Anderson of Valley City played D1 basketball at Maryland. No state tournament. These were 20 and 15 years ago, well before the proliferation of the internet. Jenna Lemnus of Enderlin is playing D1 basketball at NDSU. No state tournament. D1 doesn't mean Big 12 Freshman of the Year, like Jeff Boschee. D1 means making the team at the highest level of college basketball we have. Boschee's success means he was a star at D1. Making the team is enough to be a D1 player.
i know what it means to go d1 im not stupid i was curious as to who you could name what i am sayin is if i am a college coach i look at it like this
player a 14-0 i think i said 20 points 10 rebounds looks better than
player b 2-12 with 20 points and 10 rebounds i wasn't arguing purely about knife i was arguin as to an overall player
talkin about knife now she will probably get 18-22 points 8-12 rebounds and most likely win state impressive but if she stays in belcourt she would probably get about 20 and 10 not go to state and big time coaches are not going to know about her and really how many coaches do you think come to random games in north dakota you only come if you have already heard about the player or it is a state tournament
just my take on it
