Coaches are excited about Baker (Park River golf event) Maurice has connections -
Correct, things cooled on a RB from a power 5 conference. The Minnesota kid is still being evaluated, though.
Coaches are working hard.
I am impressed with the connections some of these assistants are having. Sounding like they are talking to quality athletes.
-
It has been an unfortunate fallout with the runningback situation. I think they need at least 1 RB transfer, but preferably 2. If you want to run the ball, you need talented ballcarriers. Right now, the backfield might be the weakest position group on the team, and that points to another bad offense in 2015....
Need more talent.
I am not as concerned about the talent as I am the depth. If we have an injury to Arrington we are up a big big creek with no paddle.
-
I don't think the pass defense was as bad as the ranking. Certain teams just gave up running the ball on us so they aired it out in the 2nd pass.
I will go top 5 in nation in run. Top 25 in pass and top 5 overall
-
Boeser isn't a top 10 pick. Should fall between 20 and 35. But yes, 2 years max.

Does Gretsky have any kids ?
Wayne Gretzky does have one attractive daughter!

This would be a darn impressive hire. How many colleges have multiple coaches with multiple years of NHL coaching experience? He has also done some impressive work over the years on the power play, very good fit.
-
Ron Rolston seems to fit most of those
-
Per Maurice tweet, it looks like we just picked up a LB. Not sure if for 2015 or 2016.
At what point do we have enough linebackers?
-
I'm just tired of the star players I think a team of Gaarders & Generals type players would have better odds of a Championship
Right........
-
Berry is getting paid less than hak I believe, so hopefully a slight shift in funding will occur.
I have to imagine we will save on assistants too. Berry and Dane were highly paid assistants I would think

Women's hockey is a major pair of shackles on UND. I almost don't even want to know what it costs. It was cool when the twins were playing but now it's just stupid. Schools like UM and Wisconsin can absorb their cost no problem, we on the other hand cannot. What mens program would be cut along with women's hockey though? Baseball?
exactly. Baseball isn't a huge expense but it does offset title 9 if we ditched women's hockey. GF is a hockey town though so I don't see it happening. What about swimming and diving for both men and women?
-
Stayed for at least 8 seasons?
-
This isn't true. It's all owned and run by non-profits and their tax returns are available online.
I stand corrected then. My bad
-
My answer is women's hockey....if that went away we could have a boatload of cash for the other sports. Starts a women's field hockey team for title 9 purposes.Most schools have one big revenue sport and use that money to fund the other programs. The question SIOUXFAN97 asks is valid. With the cash machine that is REA, why are we always looking under the cushions of our couch for money? Or at least it seems that way. If we don't fund FCOA for anything other than hockey, it will get only worse. And things are not all that good right now.
Plus if REA is privately owned they don't have to release the books
-
but the foks over at REA arent talkin....where does all the money go??? good question.
men's hockey makes a profit so let's make sure we get that clear, UND is getting a return on their investment. From what I hear Basketball and Football are losing money. Do you pull money from a profitable program to improve others? That has to be the debate. We need to improve our other sports bUT at the cost of what? Men's hockey is clearly worth the money.
-
How are the budgets being cut for men's basketball and football in favor of Hockey...does anyone have real numbers to compare as opposed to gut feel on how a program is being "treated"?
I go off coaching salaries where we are way behind the competition. Even Bubba should be paid more than 150k. I never heard why we aren't more competitive in pay for Basketball and Football. Would be curious to hear as well
-
They market better, they fund their sports better, and they have more success. The fact we are having this debate just makes me laugh because they are that much better right now. Even Bubba is getting almost 50% of the salary Kleiman is. I'm not sure about assistants but you get what you pay for and we have been clearance shopping for a long time.I've noticed from friends and family in Grand Forks that the town seems to be in a bit of a bubble. Unfortunately, NDSU is destroying UND in marketing/visibility throughout most of North Dakota and Minnesota right now. The last 5 years have been rough.
If our budget is that tight, than we need to drop a couple of un profitable sports (women's hockey) and properly fund our major sports.

NDSU is where we are aspiring to be. Multiple football championships and multiple March madness tournaments. We can moan all we want about why but they have hired all the right coaches by allotting proper coaching salaries and assistants. Our basketball program is mediocre at best and football has been poor for 5 years.
We shot ourselves in the foot by not paying competitive salaries to our coaches and assistants.
Here are the 2 goals I have
1) MBB must win the Big Sky or Jones needs to be fired as he has had far to much time.
2) football finishes the season with a winning record. It is a tough schedule and this is only year 2.
I hate to agree with NDSU fans on this but they are better than us in every way right now. Results speak for themselves and I am embarrassed by ours lately.

I would argue that Roger Thomas was the Athletic Director that hurt UND football the most by using the wait and see approach, rather than being proactive like NDSU. We had gone ahead of them in football, now look at where the programs are at.
It just shows how much poor coaching and recruiting can set a program back. NDSU had the right coach in place and recruited from the area. How would things look if we had Bubba from day 1 of the transition instead of Mussman? All other reasons aside, this is the reason for our problems and our solution is already in year 2. It didn't break overnight and it won't fix overnight.

Nevermann wasn't going to help this year and my opinion is he lacked the ability to be anything more than a tough banger. Sharp didn't show the level of play needed to earn a spot, and I'm guessing the same with Blass.
So we have Arrington, not sure on Norberg at RB/LB, but Olivera and Smith will get a real shot at playing time. All this shake-up would make sense with the announcement of a new RB coming to the program......we'll see.
Olivera and Smith may not have a choice, i am sure the coaches are losing a bit of sleep over it
-
How hard would it be for Wyoming to put on their "best for the student-athlete" face and reach a gentlemen's agreement with UND that Nevermann can play immediately as long as he doesn't make the trip to Laramie this fall.
(Notice the lack of question mark above; that's rhetorical.)
I would call Bohl a lot of things but a gentleman has never been one of them.

Didn't Maurice get us Arrington too?
-
I am more than a bit concerned with RB depth this fall, is Cedric Simmons still around or is it down to Arrington, kyle, and Olivera?
-
Hopefully all the recruits stay as Berry was in charge of recruiting
Vote - which of the final fifteen?
in UND Nickname
Posted
The only one I am against is leaving it ad North Dakota. We need to move on and as long as we don't have a nickname we won't be
