I really do appreciate the type of coverage that Miller and UND360 deliver. They don't blow smoke, and they tell it like it is. The roster is not close is what we've gathered from them. I would really like to clarify. Not close to what? Championship caliber? 2nd Round type of team? Playoff caliber? In comparison to last year? I'm going to fill in the gaps a bit from what I'm hoping they mean, which is not close to championship caliber. Which I think is accurate, but I think they are really undervaluing a few things. State of the FCS. IMO, this will be the weakest the elite of the FCS has ever been. NDSU most likely will win it all again this year, this won't be a Top 10 team they've had in the D1 era. Each level (Top 4, Top 8, Top 15) will be the weakest it's ever been. UND's off-season (compared to other MVFC teams). I think they did the best retaining starters out of any team. Fine with portal additions. Compared to previous years UND teams, this was the best off-season they've had in the portal era. Coaching. This is where I'm buying the most stock. From X's and O's to team mentality. It's going to be a night and day difference. Not only is Schmidt the real deal, but I think we'll also find out that Bubba was incredibly bad at it all. Defense. No detail needs to be given, really. The last 3 years have been beyond embarrassing. Do I think they'll compete for a National Championship? Probably not, but also, we're not looking at a handful of teams that are going to be head and shoulders above the rest like we have in the past.

@Hambone you want to fire up a 2027 Recruiting thread? There’s a number of offers currently.

Not sure we see another O-Line commit in the 2026 class. 1 Senior and 3 2026 Commits currently.

Very competitive current offer list.

Lovett was a +1 from last week, looking deeper into it, was a current recruit that recently started following him. Nothing overall stuck out from last week. It's an interesting metric, really started to follow it closely after Wunderlich committed. Of the 7 commits since Aiden, the only "off the board" non-top 12 guy who committed was Appleget. There's definitely something to it.

'On X when you click on a player's profile, it tells you how many people who you also follow, follow this person. It could be UND coaches, media, fan accounts, other players that have been offered. I do think there's a correlation with the large the #, the more interest. On the flip side, there are guys who have been offered that have a very low number. I think you could effectively cross those guys off as viable targets. Also, if there's a commitment, look for a spike and that's the guy. Here's the current Top 12.'

Social media would tell me it's either Tavian White or Isaiah Oliver. Leaning White. Edit: Based on recent tweets by Oliver. Very surprised if it’s not White.
