That would be nice if there was actual recruiting news to talk about.

For many majors in all colleges, the only reason one would become academically ineligible is strictly effort. Frustrating for Duluth.

I will say this, it's exciting to see those five names listed. Bluiett expected, not surprised with Schultz / Rucker either. Mohr / Erkman, rave reviews for both. S - #1 most nervous spot with a bullet. Minimum you need one more from the portal. D-Line: Three from the portal OLB - Unless Boecker takes this huge step, there's nobody behind the two starters. Need from the portal. How's this for optimism. I don't think you could get worse than last year at 2 of the 6 positions listed (OLB / DE). As it stands now, this group could be rough. Get a handful of quality transfers and that can change quickly.

Feeling good about this one. Joel’s been liking all his tweets.

I would more say, reporting what they were told. I just highly question what they were told. I'm not saying a player or two turning down big time $ would be unheard of. What I am saying is everyone turning down that type of money doesn't compute with me. This goes two-fold that the players choice was not picked as Coach. I would be interested though if the Fargo media actually ever believed it. Or if they were skeptical, but hey, just reporting what you were told.

Let's circle back to this. I also was very skeptical of the numbers that were being tossed around. Originally, multiple players were reported to have 6 figure NIL deals. McFeeley reported 250K that one had, Izzo said 1/2 million this week on his show. Those numbers were clearly not accurate. Are we thinking they were reported 2X, 3X, 10X the actual number? I also don't believe as many players that were reported had them. Kudos to the Coaching staff / players. I'm sure the collective is still pretty modest, but boy did they get the ball moving by completely exaggerating what was happening.

All accurate. A few things though, that give me pause. S / OLB / D-line are the positions of need. Last year, OLB was also a position of need and they didn't bring anybody in from the portal. They continually struck out on the RB offers as well. Flat out, they did not do well in the portal last year. They need to nail it this year.

None of them a surprise after Miller's most recent breakdown of the roster. Five UND football players inform coaching staff they plan to use fifth season - Grand Forks Herald | Grand Forks, East Grand Forks news, weather & sports Any reason to hold out hope that Fort will be back?

Besides the two that committed to ULM, I have not seen any of the other transfer offers commit / sign anywhere else. Until we see otherwise, you can hope for the best.

IF this team doesn't hit the portal hard and get quality guys at S, OLB, D-Line (multiple guys at each of those positions), this team potentially could be extremely average next year. You want those guys signed and in school for Spring camp. There's absolutely urgency with this. If they have 0 sign at those positions today, I would consider that a complete fail.

Embarrassing.

Only players that don’t see the field. It’s good to be them. I said it earlier this week, things will never snowball negatively for that program. Too big to fail.

Agree to both of those. Few important notes, last year we didn’t find out about two of the portal additions until NLI signing day. To my knowledge nobody that’s been offered has committed elsewhere. I’ve been keeping a close eye on Schwenzfeier’s Twitter account. It has fluctuated through this process. There are some intriguing names that he follows that are in the portal that there’s no activity. There was also some intriguing names that he followed at the beginning he no longer does. My guess is we see 2 to 4 “surprises” tomorrow. Guys that signed that didn’t make it public beforehand. Including guys that never announced offers publicly.

Close. I’ll say I think Miller is one of the best QB’s in FCS.

True. I’m not sure who all of the known ones are. I’m just hoping for two of these. Anything less, complete reload. Anything more, some questions. My dream portal entries. 1. Miller (think best QB in FCS) 2. Zabel (All-Conference lineman) 3. Green (Future All-American) 4. Wisniewski 5. Kopp 6. Mostaert

Really hoping we see an offer for Jonathan Bunce & a few others today. UND getting those (most likely) last official visits.

I’m always in wait and see mode when it comes to NDSU. Until I see it, I’ll assume every key player w/ eligibility returns. They’ve had minor speed bumps over the last decade plus, but it never truly compounds on each other. They lose a playoff game they were the better team, in unconventional fashion (penalties / ST’s). So hard for me to believe they’d now lose 3 to 4 key players to the portal as well.

I’ll never get over this. He’s an all time bad QB.

You have the world’s worst QB and you throw on 4th & 2. Montana doesn’t deserve to win. FCS is such a joke.

Hope Montana’s QB is back next year. Man is he bad.

Will be a fun second half. Absolutely stunning that NDSU only has 6. They seem to be the better team, but penalties have really cost them.

Really hate this post.

Bad news. • Only one commitment (& he’s still announcing offers) Good news. • Nobody they’ve offered has committed elsewhere. • Strong list so far • Getting these guys to campus I wonder how many will be visiting this weekend. How much value would you put in being the last visit?
