F'n Hawks

At the very least I can tell you he will play significantly less snaps. Like not even in the same ballpark on how he was used this year.

Wonder if he was expecting P4 attention…

I feel the exact same as you. Preseason looking at this roster I just didn’t see many D1 wins. They have definitely proved me wrong, and that’s with Anderson and the Curtis twins being underwhelming. I hadn’t planned on making many more games this year, but I will make it a point to make it back to the Betty multiple more times this year.

Anyone have more background on this one? Didn’t play in 2025 and had 9 receptions for 127 yards in 2024. For D2 Winona State.

Probably. Considering how the Bubba tenure had been going it was likely he wouldn’t be here for long.

Huge!!

Agree with this list. The DB number could increase depending on what they hear on the waivers for that position.

Another offer. Played at Wyoming, I bet Haug can help with this one

Siedl and Olagbaju have the same agency in their bio.

I bet Luke makes more than Schmidt does

Schlesusner is at New Mexico now, would be quite the downgrade to come back. In both coming back to FCS and in pay. He will stick with Eck and make a good career out of it.

Ultimately, making the right hire here makes everything ok. All I’m saying is this would have been better portal wise if it happened a week ago.

The timing of this isn’t great with the portal opening today. On the offensive side, we need 2 or 3 portal guys at WR, and probably one at RB. The spring portal is an option too, that is when Leigh signed I believe. It would preferable to get them in for spring ball though.

Will be interesting to see what happens. Does Gordie just get promoted? Does Schmidt have a connection from his time with DeBoer that he likes?

As dirty as it gets

Are you saying he made the incorrect read time and time again? Because typically you would either hand it off or throw it. Occasionally you might follow after realizing the throw isn’t there.

We should continue to run that on every 3rd and 4th and short and have it not work in critical situations!

Not necessarily. The people transferring out were not recruited by the current staff. There will always be impact players transferring away at the FCS level, but some of it is good for roster construction/makeup especially entering year 2 and trying to overhaul a roster to fit the type of players you want.

To add to this, as someone on here had previously mentioned, the games where he had lots of rushing attempts were games we lost. - 13 attempts against USD (this is when the season turned for him and his play declined) Schedule got much better so that factors in too - 17 attempts against NDSU - 14 attempts against SDSU The season is long and grueling already, putting this much on him at the end certainly didn’t help.

Another thing. No reason Jerry should have more than 10 rushing attempts in a game. There should be some scrambles, some where he pulls to keep the defense honest, maybe a couple of designed runs. It should never get to the point where he is continuously getting beat up.

Going to need 2 or 3 WR’s from the portal this year. Let’s hope we hit big and find what we have desperately needed for a long time.

Other Bison fans on the other hand…

Learn from the second half of this year and continue to develop. There are some things he can clean up with accuracy and decision making. Get him a couple of true weapons at WR too.

Hopefully we start to see a string of portal commits start to come through.
