Agree very much with this analysis. Whether they are transfers, Jucos or 18 year old kids, this program needs great players.

Yes to this. The best player in FCS is a freshman QB. Why can't UND have a great Frosh QB?

Joe Brady, who coached Burrow at LSU this year is now headed to the Panthers. He and Stoops may argue about who the best QB coach in the country is.

Do they stick with a 3-4 with a new coordinator? If not, can the current roster accommodate it?

I like the grinder better than Red Pepper. If you're going just for pizza, I can't tell you how it is there.

Unfortunately for them, the D players have NOT followed the QB's there.

May he rest in peace. May God provide comfort to his loved ones in this time of sorrow.

God bless Hunter and his doctors with a successful surgery and a full recovery.

Shannon's work on the Tailgate Show has nothing to do with Bubba's hiring or contract. It has nothing to do with who the football coach is. I assume IF Bubba was not the coach he would still be involved in public media.

Nothing. Just an old critique on Bubba and how he got the job. It's nothing.

Nice insight. Makes me feel good about where we are. Add to that what seems like a very nice recruiting class, and some RFrs to make a difference next season, and it's gonna be a fun year.

C'mon man. He must be able to relate to them in some way. Have you seen the locker room post game videos when he comes in for the school song. Looks relatable to me.

Creighton Mitchell visited Iowa State. Seemed to like it.

I don't know that you can just "get rid of it" after recruiting for it over the past several years. Though next season seems to have better players on the DL than in the LB corps.

360 guys said he should get a look at QB or TE

Yep. My bad.

Great writeup Ham.

For the most part, you are right, but it's not entirely wrong to use the examples as in either scenario the team is welcoming in someone that didn't want to go to their school in the first place. Whether they decommitted or never committed to that school in the first place just doesn't seem that consequential. Does anyone really think Burrow, Murray and Hurts weren't nationally recruited? They picked one team, and later moved to another- one that likely had some interest in them in the recruiting process.

Great point about OSU and OK. Heisman QBs won in the last few years at schools they transferred to. Burrow at LSU started his career at OSU and is the likely winner this year.

How is accepting a very good player bad for the program? His reasons for the decommit was made based on a desire to play for a certain coach, and now the coach is gone, why not take him if he wanst to come here? It's not like he said he disliked the UND staff or program; just felt more likely to see his potential fulfilled with a different coach. There's pride and there's foolish pride.

Agree about SC and I think it's time to rethink the 3/4 D. Bubba is here for at least 2 years. Change needs to come in those around him. Freund was a nice pickup. Not his fault QB has happy feet or receivers can't make tough catches or OLine is great at pass protection, but can't open holes.

Nicholls St was shutout 17-0 by Sam Houston. Isn't that worth discussing?

Were they giving an opportunity to a kid in his last game?

IF McKinney can go and IF JJ gets downhill a few times and IF they use Boltman in the run game, why do they need to burn Skokna's shirt? He is not that much of a difference maker yet.
