UND Fan

I have read where some think Larson can be a better college FB player than Woods. Whether true or not, that is quite a statement (SU fans don't need to debate this) in that Woods is surely highly thought of (athletically, at least).

It sure appears that we recruited this kid as a TE but it sounds like he was also a very good DE. In fact, I don't think he played TE until his senior year. He missed most of his junior year with an injury.

I agree - there have been a ton of very good FB players come out of Fargo and WF, this is likely just a down year.

Hambone -- So, out of what's left out there, who are some kids that you hope come to UND? I've included kids that we have offers to, kids that are on our interest lists, and kids from MN (since I've been able to see some of them). ****** There is some talent there - hopefully, we can land a couple of the better ones. I have heard but haven't been able to confirm that Brandon Larson is headed to UND.

I am not surprised but certainly disappointed!!

That is a pretty good source!!

I had heard that, too, but can't confirm it anywhere.

This may have already been discussed but it appears Dustin Adams, the big OL from Minot, has withdrawn his commitment to Hawaii. I assume we are back talking to him. Anyone heard anything about this?

Wow - that sure appeared out of no where! But it is good to see that he had a couple other legitimate offers.

For many reaons!!!

Nick Dachota, the big OL from the same HS as Golladay, has verballed to IN St. I am not sure if we had offered him but he would have been a good get - 6'8", 305!

A couple of other sources have him at 6'2", 220. He played some TE - caught about one pass per game. I would guess we are interested in him as a LB.

While I don't disagree with your point at all and we did recently have a shortage of WRs, there are only so many scholarships available and the team certainly has other needs. As homer pointed out, it could be that Fletcher is coming in as a safety. That would make more sense - very nice size for that position!

Three scholarships to WRs really surprises me especially when it appears we already have some good ones on the roster (including redshirts Jackson and Young). Does anyone know if all these receivers are back on campus this semester? I wonder if we had a couple disappear on us.

I am exceedingly happy to read this. It would have been a travesty if Gene had been forced out! Any reasoning for the odd timing of the announcement?

I think Brewster would do a great job but Faison wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't do his due diligence to see if there wasn't someone better available!!!

Ira - once again, I fully agree with every point you made. The blame-game and whining must stop - there is no basis for it!

Sounds like a great idea but would hope that UND could share in some of the additional gate revenue generated by a crowd likely to be much greater than UNO would have at the Omaha rink.

After a great start to the winter up there, it sounds like this weekend's weather won't be a great for hosting recruits!!

Does anyone know what type of injury Madi Buck has? Will she play this weekend?

I am probably also too old school to appreciate it but didn't it last way too long?

Thanks, Ira - apparently his walking on is fact? Are you aware of any other recruiting news?

Anyone know anything about a Nate Ellingson from Jamestown who may be walking on?

While we did not play well on offense, I was very impressed with the defense and defensive rebounding. I was also impressed with Hoff. He certainly was shut down offensively but he contained himself well, did not try to create something that wasn't available to him and he played excellent defense. As has been stated, hopefully, the win will result in more students (and other fans) attending our home games.

We are really making some inroads in Illinois. Both these kids sounds pretty good. Bayer was primarily a defensive lineman but, at 5'11', he may be a little short for that position. At 235, he has great size for a FB!
