🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great offer list. Another head to head win over SDSU.

Buhr + 2 others (one being Zdon). UND has arrived on the FCS recruiting scene.

# used would point towards the 26 class. What if they go Buhr / Zdon back to back?! Edit: Based on a repost, it appears that’s exactly what they did. Unreal.

'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.'

Deng Deng’s brother?

That’s my guess. Hope it is, would be a really nice get.

I said before the portal opened I was hoping between 5 - 7 would enter. The # was 6. Imo, nobody who would have been on the two-deep. This coaching staff absolutely nailed the portal exits, both in the Fall & Spring. One giant piece left. Getting 6-8 guys from the portal. They will be competitive next year.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/what-will-und-football-be-searching-for-in-this-transfer-portal-window Another possible position of need is running back, where UND is top heavy with Gaven Ziebarth and Sawyer Siedl, who missed spring ball recovering from an injury. Young running back Colton Brunell missed the second half of spring ball with an injury and the Hawks likely need to add some insurance at the position.

Correct

Tomorrow

It was so obvious last time it was Wunderlich. based on social media activity. Zero movement with current public portal offers, very little with the 2026 offers. Could this be someone (most likely portal) where the offer was never made public?

I don't think there's currently a correlation. What I mean is if we land X from the portal, then we cut Y. Either the numbers must work as is, or we'll see a few more enter in the next 3 days. By the offers, I'm guessing the staff is looking for 1 RB, 1 TE, 1 WR, 2 D-Line, 1 LB, 1 DB (7 total). So far 3 have entered the portal, but you also had Teiken, Baretz (I'm sure a few others) that were, to the public unknowns that left the program prior to Spring ball.

I've donated to the collective from the very beginning. It can absolutely be used for business use as appearances and advertisement. The general public that donate (like me), it's effectively pay for play. Why I say effectively, is I'm sure they have to do something (community service based) to collect, but I can tell you I've received no appearances or advertisement from the donations I've given.

Competing offers are starting to heat up! We’ll see how these end up, but it is so fun to have a staff in place that you know can go toe to toe with these other schools!
