North Dakota State Guard Has Heard from Huskies
With the transfer portal set to open on Monday, Jacari White is a tall, lanky guard from North Dakota State who’s made himself available and claims to already have heard from 20 schools, including the University of Washington.
Whether it’s a personal choice or something involuntary, the 6-foot-3 White plays with a bald head, giving off a certain Slick Watts vibe.
While his appearance alone might make him a perfect player for Seattle, Danny Sprinkle’s Husky coaching staff has to determine right away whether White — hair or no hair — can handle the decided step up in competition to the Big Ten.
It clearly was a problem this past winter for multiple players coming to Montlake from basketball outposts such as Rhode Island, Butler, Portland and even North Dakota, and finding the new conference a collective shock to their system, sending the UW to a last-place finish (13-18 overall, 4-16 Big Ten).
That said, White’s list of pursuers who find him an intriguing player include Alabama, Boston College, BYU, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Illinois, LSU, Ole Miss, Seton Hall, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and USC. He has one season of eligibility remaining.

This past season, White was a 17.1 scorer for a 21-11 North Dakota State team, finishing with a dozen outings of 20 points or more, including three of 30 or more. He shot 45.2 percent from the floor, 39.8 percent from 3-point range.
He came to North Dakota State from his hometown of Orlando, Florida, where he first played a season of junior-college basketball.
In three seasons with the Bison in Fargo, North Dakota, he appeared in 94 games and started 61, steadily increasing his production each year. He was a second-team All-Summit League selection.
Interestingly enough, game photos of White from 2022 show him playing with a full head of hair. However, there’s no ready online explanation for his baldness.

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – North Dakota has a new junior duck stamp winner.
On Saturday afternoon, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service held an awards ceremony for the state contest at the Heritage Center in Bismarck. 900 kids submitted entries.
16-year old, Gabe Coleman, from Baldwin, took first place overall with his entry which is an acrylic painting of a pair of blue-winged teal. Gabe has been entering the contest since he was in kindergarten, but this year is the first time he took best of show.
“For all my nine years, this is what I have been trying to do, and I finally achieved it this year. To win it is actually amazing”, said Coleman, who is a homeschooled sophomore.
Coleman has another reason to celebrate. As the top finisher in the state, his winning artwork advanced to the national competition. He ranked among the top 15 out of 13-thousand entries in the national contest.
Runner-Up Best of Show (Second Place) in the North Dakota contest this year went to first time-entrant Kamryn Nissen from Grand Forks. Kamryn, a sophomore at Thompson Public School, used colored pencils to design her entry of a mallard drake in eclipse plumage.
The Conservation Message winner was Brandi Agnew, a seventh grader from Menoken, with her message: “Protect the prairie; preserve the hunt.”
The call for entries is an educational program that uses science and art to encourage students to explore wildlife, conservation, and recreation.

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – A grant from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture is helping a small business in Bismarck expand.
FOMO 10/40 Creamery, located in the central part of the city, is planning to sell its ice cream wholesale at other small businesses across the state.
For owner Andrew Hershey, consistent quality is important, so he doesn’t expect to sell his ice cream in grocery chains quite yet.
“We want to really support the small, local businesses to help them keep open, but also give them the opportunity to sell our product first. I think local North Dakota ice cream sold locally, within a local business, means more to me,” said Hershey.
With the grant, FOMO will also be doing a brand refresh by updating its space.
The business started as an ice cream trailer in 2019.
