UND Fan

Ok - thanks. I had understood that he wasn't enrolled.

Question - do you need to be enrolled to participate in spring drills? I assume their 2nd semester began right after the first of the year and it is too late to enroll for on-campus classes. That said, I suppose he could enroll in some on-line courses and qualify - there are likely various on-line classes starting all the time.

Offer to a nice-sized safety out of Chicago: Mike Warner, 6'2", 195, Chicago (St. Patrick), IL

However, the parents and friends of players from WI, IL, MN, etc. would sure like more games that they could drive to. While the excitement of competing in the BSC and the particpating school's locations is appealing to many players, parents, girlfriends, etc. would sure like a game that was only a 200-300 hundred miles from their homes vs. the many hundred miles they would need to travel to Grand Forks.

I made a similar comment a couple of weeks ago but ..... I have often been critical of our coaching and the lack of focus/discipline (at times) of the men's team the last couple of years. However, what we have done this year with a make-shift line-up with very little size is amazing. If our juniors continue to mature and the newcomers can contribute immediately, we could be very good next year!

Offer No. 24: Ath Duncan Ferch, 6'1”, 190, State Center (West Marshall), IA

Wiki has been updated - what did I miss?

A factual observation but no different than swimming, tennis, golf, soccer, softball........

Lots of activity! Traveling again - will update Wiki later today.

How is the weather up there today - good, I hope!

A lot of good comments today - my turn on a couple of points: I have often been critical of Jones but he and his team have certainly had a great year when all the adversity is considered. We obviously had some very disappointing losses but, with our lineup, we have won a bunch (especially on the road) that certainly weren't expected. You can't help thinking about "what if" but.... that doesn't do you any good. Regarding recruiting, we really have to find a couple of good HS kids now. I highly doubt any talented JC transfer will consider us this spring - they want to play right away and with the large bunch of experienced seniors on the team next year, they probably wouldn't see much playing time. Hooker is such a stud that I hope his choosing UND will prompt some other talented kids to do the same.

Has anyone heard anything new about Opara?

Offer: CB Ross Drwal, 6'1", 195, Omaha (Millard West), NE Very nice size for a CB and nice speed as well.

Probably not too surprisingly when considering the competition and the geography of most of the competition. It is interesting to note that there are only three schools who have teams in both the Men and Women competition.

Good article - thanks for your continued great coverage of BSC BB!

Offer: DE Harrison Phillips, 6'4", 245, 4.9, Omaha (Millard West), NE Has offer from SDSU Likely to get offer from the Huskers!

One more: Ath Luke Gifford, 6'3", 196 Lincoln (Southeast), NE Has offer from Ohio

One more offer: CB Tifonte Hunt, Havery IL

Wow - I was traveling this afternoon, a lot of activity! I will update Wiki yet tonight.

OK - I'm in! Maybe we can successfully assist with this and then try to fund something in the IPF that isn't in the plan due to budget constraints - something that would really assist the program, recruiting, etc. At this point, I have no idea what that might be but I am sure there will be quite a few things that will fall into that category - nice to have but they don't have the $ for it!

Enlighten me - do we know for sure that the UND FB program and administration want green jerseys or is this just our wish?

We won 49-48. They missed a ton of layups - we were lucky. Lousy on the FT line again!

3 points in the last 10 1/2 minutes of the first half - tied at 23 at halftime.

Have we determined yet whether the funds would be for jerseys or the IPF? I would provide a donation for the jerseys just to help the cause a bit but I don't really care if we have green uniforms or not. I would be much more interested in writing a larger check for the IPF. I think it would be great to purchase something within the building that they would not have been able to have without our contribution.

I have been meaning to ask you (or anyone else) if you have seen Nash practice. If so, what are your thoughts about how much he will help us next year? Same question as it relates to Salmonson, Hobaugh and Blake?
