I don't understand others that are trashing him on here. Criticizing the decision the coaches made to start him and then not giving Jerry playing time during the year is fair. But Simon didn't make himself the starter and I'm sure busted his a$$ all year and gave all he had.
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.-

he did last year....somehow...he could do it again bc shucks that 9 man stuff builds character

have you been paying attention to the apathy that is setting in on the football side
another year of the romfo experiment might be the death of und football
and if miller was honest he wouldn't analyzed the hell out of the pass that simon almost threw into the stands in ames when demontacac totally beat his man for the easist td ever...instead he/heraldo went full bob eucker
day by day...decade by decade
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.

Yep. Miller seemed to think Romfo had a good shot last year and ended up winning the job. Now he thinks it will likely be Kaminski or JTJ.
Makes sense. That’s his honest opinion.

if simon starts the first home game at the alerus there will be fewer than 5k people out there....
if miller was honest...it's a 3 man race
it's the 3 j's out there and that's it...anyone of them could be qb1 come fall
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.

14 hours ago, shep said:All QB's had some issues. JTJ has a great arm but right now the touch is like that of a jack hammer. I will assume that in game time his legs will be a great option.
He has #14 and is sorta built like the former #14 Quincy V
Jerry had issues too with a bad Int.
Sulak is behind both.
Loved watching Hoskins. Fast, shifty, decisive. A weapon.
I thought the O could have just used running plays to move the ball all game.
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.-

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.

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.-

Looking at soccers records since going Division I they have had a losing record every year except one. It’s a perennially losing program. Cut the program or invest in the facility.
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. -

The NCAA would notice. I assume we have learned by now that Title IX investigations can get expensive and certainly do the University no good.
Soccer continues to gain in popularity across the country and remains arguably the most popular sport around the world.
I’m not sure a coach with recurring losing seasons has much to complain about when his contact isn’t renewed. My niece finished her career at Bemidji state as their career leading goal scorer and second in total points. They beat UND both years they played them. She said the Bronson field was in great shape when she played on it. Whomever was coaching should have been working with the grounds crew to maintain it. Our HS coaches do that in FB, soccer, softball and baseball. Our FB coaches used to do that when we played on campus. Unless the grounds crew blew him off, he is partially responsible. The restroom issue can be solved with the portable trailer type with running water. Artificial turf isn’t an argument that should go anywhere.

Is this due to a case of people needing to step up and help more with NIL, or is it more that grand forks is a smaller community and doesn’t have as many donors as colleges in bigger cities?
Both

Track and Field has been very impressive this year. It’s been a steady improvement over the past few years in field events as well as running events. I believe the Pollard facility has been a game changer for the program.

No, he committed last night. Not sure how you read it any other way.
Eric said “Huge call for the Hawks tonight”. I assumed from the other posts he committed to UND but not sure what Eric was referring to. Thanks for clarifying.

Reposting this in what we believe is the right thread. If this is who we think it is (99% sure). Big deal.
Is Eric saying that the guy is making a decision tonight and he will call with the decision? Does anyone know of evidence he is leaning one place or another? It’s a big “get” if he commits here.

I understand the hype around these power 5 recruits we are getting, but I think we need to take a step back and actually look at how good they are. Most of these girls had little to no impact at all on their programs while they were there. I can’t really see how most of these girls will elevate our game beyond where we were last year. It’s still good to see that new players are willing to come though!
Who do you mean when you say “we”need to take a step back and actually look at how good they are.
I believe the UND WBB college coaches did exactly that before offering a spot on the team.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe NIL for Canadians would have to be earned through Canadian groups. Of course, that doesn't mean money handshakes and bags of cash aren't being given to NCAA athletes under the table.
I’m not sure. I would defer to lawyers. It may have to do with visa status.

Also, a First Nation member
If a First Nation enrollee, ask one of the area tribes regarding an NIL contract. Could work with Native American youth and promote hockey. The Nike exec coming to campus should be approached. (Gotta think outside the box).

Prospective Recruits

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.
