This is quite a statement - I am not sure how long you have been following Sioux FB (I think it has been quite a few years) but there have certainly been some good ones. I respect your opinion - I just didn't realize that Hendrickson was that good!

Has anyone heard anything about Smith or Jean-Charles?

I wouldn't consider it giving up on anyone. I would consider it "competition". If someone on the roster could do a better job (at any positiion), they deserve the opportunity to prove it. That being said - I would hope that if Townsend had the abilities to be our starting QB, our coaching staff would have realized it long before now. He certainly did have great stats playing at the top level of FB in MN.

This really was another great VB season! Two observations: 1) while the cupboard certainly isn't bare, we sure lose some good seniors. I hope we can land a couple more top recruits in addition to those announced last week. 2) someone has to be "knocking on Hardee's door" this off-season. I sure hope we can keep him. Larger programs can certainly offer a much bigger paycheck than us! A great season - congrats, ladies!

This really was a big win over a good BB team. Keeping our cool down the stretch when they made their run was important and impressive! It may be a fun season!

I understand that Casey Young may also contribute at WR. It appears that position may be a strength over the next couple of years!

Agree - a great season. Congrats and thanks to the seniors!

Carson has made a commitment to Utah State.

Ouch - he appears to be a good one! As happens too often, I would guess proximity to home for mom & dad, girlfriend to see his games may have made a difference!

That is great to hear!

It may be posted here somewhere but.... who is officially being red-shirted this year?

UND picked up its first 2013 recruit with Hopkins junior, Erin O'Toole, recently committing to the Sioux. She is a 6'3" post player. It would be great to continue to get kids out of that school. They are very good year after year. I would think that we will only have one other scholarship available next year but with the kids we just signed and O'Toole, we should be in good shape.

Updates?

I am quite sure we won't be signing anyone during the early signing period. We will somehow have a scholarship or two available for next year. I understand we are looking for a JC power forward or center. Hopefully, we will get some good news in April. We definitely need help down low!

We lost tonight 3-1! Didn't win the conference, hopefully, we can win the conference tourney (at UND).

Once again, I hope I am wrong: UCD 27 UND 23

Two new offers: LB Drake Michaelson, Eden Prairie, 6'1", 205 Has offers from SDSU & Wyoming DE Ross Dzuris, Plattsmouth, NE 6'3", 230 No other known offers

Ira - had Labat received an offer from SU or were they just talking?

UND 37 USF 16

Ira - great write-up. I didn't know Murph well but fully agree that he was a class act, a true Fighing Sioux, cared about his players as well as all UND alums & fans. I had always hoped that he would come back to UND in some capacity. He will be missed!

I appreciate the updates!

It was good to see Edwards on the list of top senior OLs - even though it appears he will play defense for us. We have offers out to at least two other WI players who are in the top 5-6 in their positions: S Holcomb from Germantown and LB Goff from Middletown. I know we have interest in some of the others but do not know if they have offers. Wisconsin Rapids' Brady Goska is listed as one of the top DBs. He must be Brent's brother. I don't know if we are recruiting him or not. He is 6'1", 185 and wants to go into business - would appear to be a good fit!

Go for it.....

It kind of sounds like he doesn't want people thinking that he is "following" Mollberg to UND. Apparently he is also talking to SU.
