  1. College sports camps are an important piece in the recruiting process. The athletes get a week on campus, a week with that schools coaches, an opportunity to meet players on the team, and often an opportunity to interact with fellow recruits. The coaches and potential future teammates get a chance to learn how a potential recruit responds to their coaching, how they treat support staff, how they interact with other kids etc. Its a good idea to attend camps at schools the athlete is interested in.
  2. Very likely
  3. Not that I know of.
  4. He played with an injured shoulder last year. I have no idea how much it affected his throwing. I was told the main reason he started was his leadership ability. The team supposedly gravitated to hm. After watching spring ball none of the top 3 QB’s have moved into the starting spot. It seems all 3 have more “zip” on their throws. It will be tough for him to move back into the top spot after missing spring ball. If he comes out of summer workouts and fall ball as the starter he will have earned it. Schmidt and Fruechte will play whoever gives this team the best chance to win.
  5. She has offers from SDSU, USD and NDSU.
  6. If he goes, do Slukynskys hit the portal?
  7. You obviously didn’t play 9 man did you? If you are apathetic about the FB program, it doesn’t matter cuz you don’t play or coach. There is a lot of energy and developing confidence among the players and coaches moving forward. I believe most fans are excited to see what Schmidt and his staff can accomplish with these players. They are getting commitments from some promising recruits. We still have some key positions we need to improve on. I believe Miller is correct in that the QB will likely be JTJ or Kaminski. Sulik shows promise. Simon has the disadvantage of missing spring ball. I stand by my statement that Schmidt and Fruechte will start whomever they believe gives them the best chance of winning. Who cares how he described an incomplete pass last year? If you watched the game you could see for yourself what happened. If you need to read criticism of our athletes and coaches you don’t have to read the herald. Just log on to SS.com.
  8. Makes sense. That’s his honest opinion.
  9. If Simon starts the first game next year it will be because Schmidt and Fruechte decided he gives them the best chance to win. It won’t change attendance. I have found Miller has always been honest. The fact that you don’t agree has nothing to do with his honesty.
  10. Yes. I said hi to him on the way out of Pollard. Nice guy. 6’5” and Looked heavier than listed 185lbs.
  11. Yes, seems to be doing well.
  12. Oline looked bigger. Blocked well but hard to evaluate individual line play other than Cariveau who I watched closely cuz he’s a DL kid. He is a RFr OG and was with the 2’s. He played very well and had a “pancake” where he absolutely destroyed the defender. Ziebarth and Brunell run hard broke tackles. Fr Randle Parker is very quick/makes guys miss. QB’s were OK. Kaminski gets rid of ball quickly with a lot of zip on the ball. He stepped up into pocket a couple times nicely to avoid pressure Sulik throws a nice deep ball but seemed to have trouble with shorter throws over middle. JTJ will be interesting to watch develop. Had some nice throws, had some misses. Didn’t see RPO’s which will need to be part of his package. TE’s still not key part of throwing game, Behymer and Kuntz were into a couple patterns. Deng made some athletic plays but will need to make plays with DB’s on him if he doesn’t get better separation. Hoskins was arguably most impressive new skill player on offense. Very quick, but also makes guys miss and tough to bring down. I ran into him in locker room after game and I had a brief chat with him. Very positive and very engaging. Tai also showed great speed and quickness. Fleming had a nice catch, good speed but had a drop. DB’s had multiple pass break ups. They closed quickly a couple times on guys who looked to have a couple steps on them. Scott and an int. LB Parks looks very athletic. #58 McCould had an int and some nice stops. Frankly I watched offense most of game so I can’t say much about defense other than the obvious big plays by DB’s and the ints. The freshman K Choate was making FG’s from 45-50 in warmups and made his last from 53.
  13. What the hell is the matter with you? It’s like reading a post from a middle school kid. Let it go man, especially comments about his family.
  14. His great uncle Bob played his freshman year at BYU. Averaged 17ppg. Transferred to UND midterm his Sophomore yr. Great guy. Very bright. Bachelors from UND and Masters from USD. His work with Native youth in the Seattle School district is legendary. He was principal of a Native American School in the Seattle district. The last four years before he died at age 43 from a heart attack, their graduation rate was 100% and they all went on to college. He had completed his work for his doctorate including his dissertation when he passed away.
  15. What is your solution to adjust numbers/money to meet Title IX requirements? I agree it’s important to invest in the program which includes the facility. Trees around the facility especially the north and east sides, a modest sized Stands with restrooms and proper care of the field (if and when needed) would make a nice addition. I wouldn’t put in artificial turf unless absolutely necessary. Soccer is popular enough where it’s too important for women’s athletic programs to cut it.
