First game back after break. Not sure how many key players will not be in the lineup?
Smart scheduling

If it was Gordie I would think it would have been announced by now, no?
-
Is the current portal commit list?
• 2 LB
• 2 DB
What is the consensus on how many more they will want?
• 2/3 DL (DT / DE)
• 1 DB
• 3 WR
• 1 RB
Am I far off?

@UND-FB-FAN couldn’t agree more this is a win-win, but also agree with your first sentence, which is concerning he wasn’t gone weeks ago.
Guess take the win however you get it.

Thought I saw an X tweet that said Jerry and Fruechte went to the Green Bay game together last week.

MVFC teams need to be concerned with Iowa State. To say they are desperate would be an understatement.

The way I look at it, although there is only one actual portal window this year, I break it into two categories. (1) Pre-window. We're at the point now, where you've either said you're coming back or you've announced your intent to enter. (2) Spring portal(ish), are there any flips... guys who said they are returning that in the next two weeks flip and enter. If that happens to UND, USD, NDSU, it'll be an extra hard pill to swallow.

Nothing against those O-Lineman that have entered the portal, but it's a numbers game. How it's appeared to play out with the O-Line this offseason is ideal.
-
NDSU (x2) and USD (starting O-Lineman) getting hit today.
Dakota Impact list (I believe):
UND - 4
USD - 3
NDSU - 3
SDSU - 1

Pipe dream for me would be then getting with other Dakota / Montana schools, either staying in FCS or try to move to say Conf USA together (northern / western branch). With the cost of everything. Regional will be important. Rivals are important.
-
Echoing some things others have posted. UND needs to position themselves for the move. Are you excited by the G6 is absolutely debatable, but what cannot happen is SDSU, Montana, Montana State go too. UND needs to tether themselves to those schools.
NDSU has no choice. IMO, there’s no worse time in college football history to be in the G6 for a school like NDSU. Missouri State for example, they are having a great time going 9-3 and playing on a Bowl game. Bowl games are becoming irrelevant, NDSU going 10-2 gets them nothing. In a lot of ways they are in a lose / lose situation (given fanbase expectations).
What I’m hoping for will give NDSU short term shot in the arm, but imo will be worse long term. MW invite with Davis & Tarelton. MW invite w/ SDSU & Montanas would be worse case. MW with no rivals and a lot of schools with zero brand recognition to average fan is risky. Lose early and you’re playing for nothing the rest of the year.

My only concern moving forward is that the collective might have thrown their entire budget at one player and that doesn't mode well for other key players looking for cash. Time will tell if other key players decide to move on.
I don't see it. Given the timing. Odd saying since the portal doesn't open until 01/02, but what did not happen is the various collectives had conversations with other players, had agreements and then now said, nope and they gave it all to Rucker.
Let's all cleanse the timeline from that post.
What I'm watching for now.
- JUCO rulings. Wiltshire, Samuels Parker, Walker, Scott. Can they get any of those guys back for another year? Unpopular opinion, but UND losing 4 impact players, is a lot compared to NDSU's - 0, SDSU's - 1, wait on USD. If they can get any of those guys, IMO, it would cancel out an impact player for player
@Kab checking back in. More optimistic than I was!

UND adds 12th and final game to the schedule. Long Island University home and home ..
Was hoping for a bigger name but this will do. Long Island University did beat Eastern Michigan (FBS) last season and is an up and comer …
I like it. I know I'm in the minority it seems with non-conference scheduling, but I'm a big fan of this home and home. Like the first game being on a Thursday night as well.

I will be excited to see who they can bring in at WR. That room will look very different.
Confirmed not returning & graduating:
Fleming
Staloch
Young III
Nate D
Dennis
Not confirmed, but 1 hr 40 min into 360 pod, you might be able to add Ryan / Gross to that list.

Do you think being on ABC might make a difference.
Of course. ABC > ESPN > ESPN2 > ESPNU
Any team for example the #’s will be twice as much on 2 > U. The feeling I get and others clearly is that the Fargo media pushes a narrative that when NDSU gets a big #, it’s because they are a national brand that people care about (false). But when they get 80K for a prime time game against SDSU, they sweep those under the rug.
-
Some other news per 360 pod. There are guys every year that don’t return, but won’t enter the portal. Call it retire from football. Here are some notes.
• Young (ASU transfer) - was done half way through last year
• Gorder (OL) - medical retire
• Ryan / Gross (WR) - 360 doesn’t expect back

Disagree. If he's a good teammate and as some have said, he got bad advice, then I'd hope the coaching staff would welcome him back.

During the early signing period, UND signed 26. There were only 18 that were a part of the Senior celebration against SDSU. There's a soft cap right now that I'm sure they are trying to hit. Three things I'm anxiously waiting for that hopefully we'll know sooner than later.
- Ruckers decision
- Can they flip Fleming back? @UNDDOM any update? He does still have everything up on his Twitter
- Extra Year. We've mentioned Walker previously. Are there any guys who will be granted an extra year?

Was just reading the details on this new NIL club. Looks like the players run it and everything is divided equally between those participating.
What I like about this is there is a $ amount/goal that shows how much has been given.
This would be by my count the 4th separate entity under the NIL umbrella for UND Football. (1) 1883 Collective (2) 701 Award (In-House) (3) UND Football Alumni (4) NIL Club

Interesting. If we’re looking for signs on what Rucker will do, I would say this is a good sign.
