5 former Dragons men's basketball players headed to D-I Denver, joining Bergstraser
FARGO — The Dragons are headed to Denver.
Five former Minnesota State University Moorhead men’s basketball players will follow coach Tim Bergstraser to his new job at Denver University.
When guard JaMir Price confirmed Tuesday night that he’s headed to Denver next season to continue his college career it completed a day when a bunch of talent moved from the Red River Valley to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Earlier in the day, former Dragons forwards Logan Kinsey and Shaun Wysocki and guards Carson Johnson and Cody Dandridge all announced via social media they are also committed to the Pioneers.
Bergstraser was named the new coach of the Pioneers on Monday, April 14, and that same day Kinsey, Wysocki, Johnson and Dandridge all entered the transfer portal with “do not contact” tags.
As expected, those four players are set to join Bergstraser in Denver. The 6-foot-3 Price was already in the portal and wouldn’t have been able to return to MSUM. Since he played in junior college, Price gets one more year of eligibility that he had to use at a Division I school.
The 6-foot Johnson starred as a true freshman for the Dragons this past season, leading the team in scoring with 19.8 points per game. He was named the most valuable player for the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference tournament, marking the first time a freshman won that award.
The Dragons went 25-9 overall this past season, advancing to the NCAA Division II Central Region championship game.

The 6-foot-6 Kinsey averaged 14.6 points and 5.3 rebounds in his recently completed junior season for the Dragons. Kinsey was a two-year starter and three-year rotation player at MSUM.
Wysocki also worked his way into the starting lineup this past season as a true freshman. The 6-foot-6 forward averaged 7.6 and 3.9 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-5 Dandridge is a highly regarded prospect who redshirted for the Dragons this past season.
Price played two seasons for MSUM and was a first-team, All-NSIC selection in 2023-24, averaging 14.5 points and 2.5 assists per game. He was limited to 12 games and six starts this past season due to multiple injuries.
Denver plays men’s basketball in the Division I Summit League in which North Dakota State is also a member.
Bergstraser’s introductory press conference is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. (CT) Wednesday, April 16, at Denver’s Hamilton Gymnasium. Bergstraser posted a 75-22 record in his three seasons at MSUM’s head coach.

DENVER (AP) — A Frontier Airlines plane hit a pedestrian on the runway of the Denver International Airport during takeoff, airport authorities said, sparking an engine fire and forcing passengers to evacuate.
The plane, on route from Denver to Los Angeles International Airport, “reported striking a pedestrian during takeoff at DEN at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Friday,” the airport’s official X account wrote.
Neither the airport nor the airline has disclosed the pedestrian’s condition.
“We’re stopping on the runway,” the pilot tells the control tower according to the site ATC.com. “We just hit somebody. We have an engine fire.”
The pilot tells the air traffic controller they have “231 souls” on board and that and “individual was walking across the runway.”
The air traffic controller responds that they are “rolling the trucks now” before the pilot tells the tower they “have smoke in the aircraft. We are going to evacuate on the runway.”
Frontier Airlines said in a statement flight 4345 was the one involved in the collision and that “smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff.” It was not clear whether the smoke was linked to the crash with the pedestrian.
“The Airbus A321 was carrying 224 passengers and seven crew members,” the airline said. “We are investigating this incident and gathering more information in coordination with the airport and other safety authorities.”
Passengers were then evacuated via slides and the emergency crew bused them to the terminal.
Denver Airport said the National Transportation Safety Board had been notified and that runway 17L, where the incident took place, will remain closed while an investigation is conducted.
