    If we stick with what we have in house at OLB it’s gonna be another long year on the defensive side of the ball. I like what I have seen from Rucker but nothing else excites me in that room.

     

    Are we counting on our young guys at DE? I’d imagine we would have to bring in a couple of safeties as well. 

    I could see improvement from Pettigo and McNealy. I like Rucker, but if he's 200 lbs I'd be surprised. Looks more like a CB than LB right now.

    You are suggesting a choice exists between winning and the things you mentioned. That is absolutely not true. The belief in this false choice is one of the things holding us back.

    No, I'm not suggesting there's a choice. Many cultures have the things that were mentioned and WIN a lot too. But it's good to know the culture has a good foundation.

    I think so. I’m not worried about it at all. Facilities are still #1 in the country, Alston / FCOA is $10K a year. They’ll always be fine. 

    What is the 701 Fund UND started this year? Isn't that the academic NIL?

    I think a reality we need to embrace is nobody really knows what we have at QB including t he coaches till the bullets start flying next fall. If either Trey or Jerry were better than Tommy in the coaches eyes, I’d think they would have played.  
     

    The bigger question I have is do the quarterbacks we have fit Danny’s system. I assume that’s why they were recruited. But Am I crazy to think that a more mobile QB like Romfro fits the system better and somehow sneaks through in the coming year or two?  Because this offense doesn’t really push the ball down field. it should, but it doesn’t seem to, and I don’t know if that was a byproduct of Danny, or of Tommy. If it’s the offense, then what’s keeping a guy like Romo from competing? And let me say I’m not advocating for this kid, but I have a little PTSD from that QB from last week who ran all over us and athletically reminded me of Romfro.

    OR Danny understood his QB's strengths and weaknesses and called plays accordingly. Before you ask why he didn't switch QBs the answer is the guy he had did a good job.

    I would love to hear what you do not like about this. What I see:

    Kid get paid his worth (Great for the kid!)

    If he's worth 5 million and has NFL as an option, probably a talented and exciting player (Great that college football fans can watch him for another year!)

    Kid gets to further his education (Great for everyone!)

    Call me dubious that they further there education, but I get your point. Some may get more money in college than they get playing in the NFL.

    I agree on him being our best but he is listed at 6’3” 245lbs.    That is extremely light for a D End. Again he made up for it.  

    245 is the size our LB’s should be..

     

     

     

    He had 13 sacks in 30 games. 

    I liked him, he worked hard, talked to him at a BB game, he was kind enough to chat and seemed very mature and intelligent, but we need bigger and faster players.

  8. There's plenty of sentiment from 97 bike rider and his numerous alter egos and the other usual suspects that the reason players leave UND is only due to the coaches.

    Meanwhile other teams lose their players because they want to get more playing time, get NIL dollars or move up from FCS to FBS.

    Listened to Kelly Howe on 740 yesterday and he thinks that they will go after another QB in the portal (there's a lot in there already this year). His reasoning was in case one of the top two lose the QB battle and transfers out they would have more options with only having 4 QBs on roster. (Not counting Q if he comes back) which would make sense and nothing wrong with more competition.

    Did he suggest which other players may leave early?

    Yes I have.

    And I can say it isn't some "cheap shot". You're completely overreacting. It's a funny little meme. Get out your feelings. 

    You say “Yes I have,” but he was responding to Siouxfan 97. 

    OOPS
