Tough to rank 5. I think the coaches did a good job addressing needs. Really have to be excited about the OL that were signed. Different looking OL group than years past. Engwall will be a good DL for us and hopefully the staff is able to retain Greer. Looking at WR, Georges, Dulin and Santiago are athletic. Reed looks like he could fill that toughness role that McGill brought the last few years before injury. We got better at DB and LB.
Only concern will be depth at RB. Would still like to see another transfer prior to next season.
It was a small group and the two we know of aren't real active on twitter so it's hard to say. The coaches have not been as active with commitments either. Things are hopefully quiet until Wednesday.
I've flown into Fargo with UND teams/athletes and I know they also fly out of Grand Forks. I believe everything is priced out and the cheaper flight is taken. I don't see it as a big deal.
Agree with this. Coleman was solid last night. Getting him more minutes at the 3 would let Jones get a better rotation with the guards. It would also help with our biggest weakness.
They are getting paid above the cost of tuition. The NCAA is allowing it because they have lost control of the large schools and this is what they want.
I have no sources and won't pretend too. I'm wondering what this has to do recruiting and why you put it here.
If you want to speculate, start a new thread and also put a name to it. Sounds line someone's feelings got hurt and they should probably address it internally instead of running to a message board to whine about it.
My opinion is move it to another thread or delete it out of the recruiting thread.
I assume we have a hand full left assuming everyone who has committed, signs next Wednesday.
I think MLB and DL will be a couple positions we see some late commitments along with possibly the CB from IL (hopefully).
I am happy we got them. They are solid players that could develop into real nice players.
I've never seen a fanbase so set obsessed with another schools recruiting class.
Because there is a chance those meetings didn't go so well and its easier when they sign on with UND to not have to admit they turned down the same offer from FU.
Anyone who knows someone in that school knows that Hedberg has been there very recently to see them.
Have Burgandy ask the coaching staff why Hedberg was in to see them yesterday. If he denies Randy was there, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
If FU wasn't really interested, why make the trip and schedule the meeting with both kids?
We have other women's sports that would gladly use a few more scholarships.
I'm also all for keeping women's hockey, I just question coaching salaries.
Travel budgets and coaches salaries for some of these sports could cover a number of $1500 - $2000 stipends.
I'm not specifying what sports. I would leave that to the administration.
Appreciate the Q&A post. Answered a few questions. You should probably send that to your AD. I'm don't think he fully understands how this works.
I still have the opinion that when you are giving money for things above and beyond tuition, it's not going to be as easy to say we are doing it for football and nothing else.
That's my point, the programs doing it get better by getting a few players who are now going the junior route. The schools that don't, can't compete. It will apply to every sport, widening the gap between the top and the middle.
My opinion- This thing doesn't stand a chance when it's taken to court. Not a chance schools are going to be allowed to pick and choose which sports these are offered in. This will be the death of non revenue sports at schools, including hockey at a lot of colleges.
Hopefully very few play. I don't think the recipe to playoffs is playing a bunch of true freshmen. The guys that played last year need to continue to improve and a JUCO or two need to be ready.
