NDSU and SDSU are big mean bullies on the line*.
Thus, and frankly, UND needs to quit being nice in the trenches.
UND needs to learn from that and match that level of intensity, strength, toughness, and endurance.
*that is a compliment
I see some bigger frames.
Now can we build them out and get them stamina.
I'd like an OL of five diesel engines: start 'em, keep 'em fueled, and they run forever, and over anything in their way.
" ... 23 of the 26 signees will come to North Dakota from the high school ranks, while also picking up three through the transfer portal."
I do count 26 in the UND release.
I count 22 guys coming out of some "HS".
Dakota Collegiate is a grade 9-12 in Winnipeg: HS. There's 23. Check.
The other three are from USD, UNM, and UManitoba.
If the numbers are correct it means you have to "portal" from UManitoba (a non-NCAA) school to UND?
I knew you might have to go through Portal*, but use the transfer portal from UMb to UND?
*Pembina would make for a shorter trip.
