This take is on us being better than NDSU. No one mentioned anything about us being better than SDSU.

PACA?

With who we were playing, definitely "horns down".

Yes they hit a few pipes, but I thought our defense overall didn't allow a lot of point blank shots.

It should count as an assist, but it won't since it never touched Perron's stick.

That could certainly happen too. I just think if he loses the job here and has an opportunity to play elsewhere he would take it.

Have never biked to a practice.

I have seen him practice multiple times and he has more physical talent imo, than both. He should have a grasp on the mental side going into year two as well. Lastly, I have had a couple conversations with Danny and he has told me in both conversations when talking about recruiting and the future that Kaminski will be a stud.

Well said, except I think Kaminski is starting next year over Trey. I suspect it will be a great battle in fall camp between the top 3 which Kaminski wins. Tommy transfers and Trey hopefully stays to push Kaminski and be a great backup.

To me my benchmark is 50 -60 yards so you can get the ball to the end zone on a hail mary. The bigger thing for me with Tommy are those tight window throws. Will he take them and put enough steam on them to beat the coverage?

Exactly! Rush to play the kid as a true freshman and maybe he isn't ready and we ruin him or redshirt a kid with a ton of potential so we have an extra year of him playing at a high level when he is ready?

I have only noticed Gayle and Olson, and Gayle was back playing last night.

I see our offensive line commit, William Stobbe, tore his ACL. Really hoping he is able to make a full recovery and still be a player for us.

Watching the replay of the game last night and they mentioned that Norris has another year of eligibility for next year. I thought this was her last year. Would be huge if she came back!!

Sometimes it's all about placement and not power.

Can you share the link to the rankings you refer to?

Sounds like Berg will be our top face off guy. Schlossman is hoping to see a jump from Schmaltz and McLaughlin as well in the faceoff circle.

He mentioned on Twitter last week it was coming out today!

I would say for the most part yes! We had a couple of ill timed service errors late in the second set that let ORU get that set from us. Clean up the serving and continue to get experience for players like Darr and we should be okay.

That kicker just shanked a short one.

We definitely need McCormick and Hornyak in the back row for our defense. Their passing and serving were missed last night. I feel like last nights game goes differently if we have them. They make the job easier for our setters which makes our hitters better. Hopefully they return soon. Still excited for this season and the future of UND volleyball!

Listen to Coach Tupac's last press conference. He says they play a hard non-conference intentionally to push themselves. He goes onto say that he tells the team they shouldn't be discouraged by the current record, but they take the good and bad and use it all as a learning opportunity. I suspect we will be fine in conference play.

Another reason I think Danny would be great as our next head coach. Look at the players he is bringing in this year and already next year on offense. QB - Kaminski (Had other D1 offers and looks like the real deal) RB - Seidl and Brunell (Seidl had multiple D1 offers as does Brunell) WR - Tai (Other D1 offers and some walk ons that look different than our past in Hakim and Deng) TE - Work in progress. A good season from Quincy will help. OL - Maciezak (lost to Nebraska on a scholarship offer) Lopau, Alton Williams, Stobbe, Bell (Other D1 offers) As Danny has turned our offense into one of the top in FCS, the recruiting has picked up. Would think he would do the same to improve our defense. Also will help with our facilities being done next year, Alston awards, and new buildings on campus. I work in our admissions office and hear daily from visiting students that our campus is one of the top in the region and consistently hear we are better than NDSU!

I agree that their are other factors. For our football team it would be special teams coaching in certain areas, decisions made by the head coach, lack of recruiting on defense. These last couple years I have had almost no questions on our offense.
