Another recent offer - most everyone in the conference is after this kid:
CB Stefan Black, 6'1“, 165, 4.5, Blue Springs (Blue Springs), MO Has offers from NDSU, SDSU, Army, Air Force, UNI, USD, EIU, WIU Mo St & SIU
We have been busy in IL:
LB Quinn Urwiler, 6', 180, 4.6, Batavia (Batavia), IL
Pretty small for an FCS LB but a lot of schools are looking at him. I think we are his first offer.
This is very surprising and very concerning! Grabowski was the one who got him to UND. I am quite sure that Grabowski is being retained. I had hoped that would help solidify Eikens staying in GF!!
Eikens broke an ankle 2-3 months but it was hoped he would be ready to go by fall.
Again, Chaves wasn’t talking to them about individual candidates (although I am sure he talked to Glas about Randall). He talked to them because they both had accomplished careers at UND and were well respected on and off the court. Getting their thoughts on various topics certainly can’t hurt and will likely give Chaves a better feel as to the attributes a coach should have to be successful at UND.
I agree - I wonder if it was more than grades. If the staff knew that grades might cause him to be dismissed, I wouldn't have thought he would have gotten so much playing time in spring ball.
GRAND FORKS - University of North Dakota freshman running back Otis Weah is off of the football team and his return to the roster is unknown.
The former Moorhead Spud has been ruled academically ineligible according to two sources with direct knowledge of the situation. Weah's status at the university is in doubt because of his academic standing.
Weah had a tremendous spring for the Fighting Hawks and was being looked at as a potential feature back for UND for this upcoming season.. He played in four games in 2018, carrying the ball five times for 28 yards and scoring one touchdown. The four games was the maximum for a player to play in to maintain a redshirt and have four years of eligibility.
