    2014 Recruiting

    in Football

    Posted

    I thought the freshmen we brought in last year are talented. so Im behind them 100%, but the simple fact is that recruit better than what you have, recruit better than what is in your 2 deep, and recruit for and where you are playing against. I just hope the guys we are getting understand who we are playing. Our conference recruits the most populated state in the country and we shy away from it!? We are in the midwest and I understand, but after the steady decline in the last few years, you have to change the mood. NDSU I give them credit, but if they were in our league I doubt they would make it through very easily. Plus they would be in the same boat as us as far as location. They benefit from being in a conference that in their geographic area and thats it. WE just have to not just harder but smarter. the only thing i know is that you cant be small, slow, and not physical. The players and coaches have pride and I think they will do a GREAT job in represent UND. I just think we need to step and look at it from a broad point a view with no bias. The simple fact is only 1 full time coach know the league better than coach freund and the big sky is a different beast that the missouri valley. Remember WE lost to SDSU last year only playing 2 quarters of football with a bunch of kids who were undersize and not very fast by 7. They finished 2nd in the MVC............

    Wow. After the first sentence it was just typing.

    I line what we are recruiting. We aren't getting a roster full of west or east coast kids for that matter coming to UND. Midwest kids will do fine in this conference if the coaches develop them and get them to play fundamentally sound.

    One other thing - some pretty good kids coming for a visit this weekend it seems. If we can land a handful of them, it will be a very good weekend :)

    Got em coach - any word on whether UND has any additional interest in Brian Walker or Damaris Woods?

    Hambone, any other names you have heard on who is coming in this weekend? I believe Josh Parks and Cedric Simmons have been mentioned.

    In the future, I would encourage you to think long and hard before attempting to blast someone over a topic you obviously do not comprehend.

    Sincerely,

    A UND Graduate that is obviously far more intelligent than you.

    Take your own advice and think long and hard next time before tweeting something negative about someone you have never met before.

    I don't think Bison fans are worried at all if you read Bisonville.. We've beaten them before but after losing battle after battle it would be nice to win one. Our biggest advantage besides more scholarships available is playing time. NDSU is stacked at D tackle and Ezra may not be the best at his positon in the current class. I don't think Ezra is a great fit in a 3-4 defense though. Either way I hope we get him.

    They are no more proven on the d line than we are.

    He'd actually be a great fit as a DE in the 3-4.

    back on topic this carter guy looks to have pretty good skills, but I'm not sure if I got the best feel for his overall athleticism from the tape. Anyone know if they are looking at him to play right away?

    If he earns playing time he'll play

    when was the last time a NDSU guy pretended to be a UND fan and started badmouthing UND recruits on siouxsports like they allege chigins did?

    also you can skip the "you're an NDSU troll' crap. I disagree with the majority of the fan/alumni base on many of the decisions (both in athletics and academics) the school has made over the last several years, and I don't give a damn about the 'rivalry'. Get over it.

    I don't think he was talking about you. Or was he?

    Anyway back on topic. Welcome Chris.

    I don't believe that is correct. I am almost certain that summer workouts are "optional" meaning that you don't need to be enrolled. I very well could be wrong on that. But they would need to live off campus.

    This.

    How does the housing situation work for guys who get to town early? I feel like the NCAA would not be thrilled if guys were living in campus housing without attending classes. Am I way off here?

    They can stay with current players.

    who is 'laying the groundwork' here, homer or the other guy? Is there any reason to doubt the 1/2 ride offer? Of course not, but it will feel alot better if siouxsports can pretend it was a full, right?

    So you know exactly what each offer is?

    I think Fleming was expecting to be OLB. Ezra still a long shot.

    I wonder if the Flemming offer could be based on Blake Weber's visit. I could see both those guys playing outside.

    A poster on B'ville had a tweet from one of Szczyrbak's parents basically saying they are proud of him for deciding to step back and take another look at all his options. Hashtaged UND, UNI and FU.

    Excellent job by the coaches to get him on campus and show him what UND has to offer.

    Chris Carter definitely looks the part, saw him at the bball game. Kid is a dude on film as well. Hope to see him sign & pencil him in as a starting CB the next 4 years.

    Also, nice to see Ezra Szczyrbak wearing a Sioux hat at the game. ;)

    Wonder how both of these guys enjoyed their weekend?

    According to a comment from the most recent SFI blog entry, Blake Weber is visiting UND this weekend, also. Not sure if that's been reported earlier in this thread or not.

    I believe he holds a PWO from Minnesota.

    Just looked at Fleming's twitter... Said Schmidt was gonna call him this morning & let him know if UND can offer or not. With Dranka recently committing not sure if that offer came or will come. Just my observation from looking at his twitter. Also, we do have 2 DE commits now w/ Greeley & Dranka, as well as Dylan Harmston & possibly Hudson Walton at OLB.

    I wonder if Walton will play inside. We have had solid players there the last few years but we need to have physical guys who are a little more athletic.

    It will be interesting to see if Flemming gets an offer.
