If he's going to be a running back then you'd have to think Santiago would move to WR. If he plays LB then hopefully he can step in a contribute right away. And in the "real world", our program needs to be able to score points and sustain drives better than we did in 2016 or we won't take the next step in the playoffs. The offense needs more athletes like this; only question is would Rudolph know how to use him to maximize his potential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nodakhoops Posted December 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2016 This is a BIG fricken deal. JJ was the best recruit out of ND in the last 10-15 years IMO. NDSU would've taken him in 2 seconds I don't care what anyone from there says. This is big for a few reasons. 1. Bubba is making up ground in ND. ND is the hardest state to recruit against NDSU. Kids here have seen NDSU win 5 straight and were very young when UND was in the D2 title games. UND has lost kids they've offered more money too because they want to wear the green and gold. While bubba has gotten some nice ND kids to me this is the first one that screams, "I like that school, I like that staff, I like those facilities and I like what they are building at UND and I would rather be apart of building something than tagging onto something already built. To top it of this is the best football player in 10-15 years out of ND and he is from Fargo. 2. This make a huge impression on class of 17, 18, 19 kids coming up from ND. Those kids all know who JJ is and don't underplay the impression this along with all the other things UND and Bubba have going makes on those recruits. JJ could have a pied piper effect. 3. Adds great depth to RB position. The back field is set for the next 3 years. Even after Thunder and lighting graduate we'll still have JJ and Gordon. This also allows us to use Santiago more in things like punt and kick return as well as the jet sweep roll. Look at NDSU with Frazier morlock anderson and Dunn, there are plenty of ways to use 4 good backs. Again just one recruit but this is one of bubba's biggest yet. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was told when he was coming out of high school. He grew up a UND fan and if he decided not to go FBS he'd go to UND. Not NDSU. Just what I was told. I'm sure it helps that UND is now a top 10 team. Also not buying that he's more afraid of the NDSU backfield than UND's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wander if Santiago gets moved out of the backfield and back to WR. Where he initially started. He could be deadly in the slot if utilized correctly. Especially if we had a speed guy on the outside to stretch the field. I honestly think Santiago should move to WR. He is such a talent but more suited for open space. We all know the offense that Bubba wants UND to run is more suited for powerful backs like Oliveira and Johannesson. Go UND! 2017 gonna be fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Very solid pick-up. You can never have too much talent at RB, these guys take a beating. Add in the fact that he's a year behind Oliveira& Santiago and we lost our RB recruit from last years class and it is a great move for the next 3 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiago should be used like Percy Harvin. Put him all over the place and make it really hard on the D. Get him in space in all sorts of ways and let him return punts. It could end up being the shot in the arm that the offense needed. Throw in the WR from Seattle and we could be in business. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get him as many as possible. He is a RB and now that we have 4 really good ones We should be able to let Jon do both kick and punt returns and also use him for jet sweep. Everyone can drop the Santiago to WR talk. It makes zero sense. We now have 4 really talented RBs. Let's figure out how to get them touches. Great problem to have. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
