Coach Kotelnicki selected to the 2nd annual NFL/NCAA Coaches Academy. Last year they had 60 coaches all together. 30 of them were up and coming coaches in the college ranks and the other 30 were former NFL players looking to get involved with coachng. Every detail of coaching is covered. Sounds lik a great honor. Congrats Coach Kotelnicki. It is well deserved.

Kotelnicki retweeted and added Chicago is becoming south Grand Forks. Hoping for the Thurman and one of the DE's like Beugarard or Greenhow.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to make you feel better mg.

Reading about some of the posters on FUville questioning Dustin's character as a person because he is transferring is comedy. So kids who forge petitions made a mistake but are of good character? A kid changing schools because he wants to pursue a different college major to better prepare for his future potentially has character issues? FUlogic at its finest

Each school has their position/positions of need. UND needs to continue to add quality OL to challenge one another so the best players get on the field. Adams is no shoe in to play immediately at UND. He is a quality, young Olinemen who will be welcomed to UND if he chooses GF. Whatever his decision it is because he feels its the best fit for him.

I wonder if the Fargo PD sent the FU athletic office a meat and cheese tray for the holidays to thank them for all the business in 2012?

Why did FU have 3 guys from the same state leave the team before FU's season was over? It happens everywhere.

Take this for what its worth. I don't like putting 2nd hand info on here but I was flying back home last night and on one of my connections sat next to a guy from Des Moines, IA. I had a UND shirt on and he mentioned Dan Hupke from Des Moines was coming to UND next year for school and will play football as well. He was a 3rd team all state back who according to this gentlemen was dead set on coming to a school with an aero space program from the start which limited his recruiting. He is a very intelligent kid who knows what he wants to do after college. Sounded like academic money, probably not a scholorship but it will be a name to follow. If the kid is as intelligent of a kid with as good of head on his shoulders as I heard, he is a fantastic pick up. Plus it sounds like he is a hell of a football player. Apparently had serious talks with both Iowa and Iowa St. as a walk on. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this.

Apologize if this was posted earlier but an article on the top 10 players that UW couldn't let get away prior to the season. OL Dan Bell made the list and really sounds like a real solid OL prospect. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1088879-wisconsin-football-recruiting-10-in-state-prospects-who-cant-slip-away#/articles/1088879-wisconsin-football-recruiting-10-in-state-prospects-who-cant-slip-away/page/6

The championship should be a very good one to watch. Two deserving teams in the final. I go back and forth when I try and predict the winner. Sam Houston's qb appears to throw the ball better this year than lastbut still is far from reliable and their D is very athletic but got owned by a great offense last week. FU's defense is one of the best around but Woffrd and GSU showed the last couple weeks that an offense can move the ball vs. them. FU's offense isn't great but makes plays when they have too. Winner will be by less than 10 but can't predict the winner. Two weeks to pepare helps FU more than Sam Houston.

My opinion is he has always locked onto his first reciever and got away with it. This year it is just biting him. FU also lacks a WR that can create any seperation and spread the field and that has hurt as well.

If Mannassau got the commitment last night there should be 2 unknown if we have got all of them from early in the year.

One for sure. Two with Manassau tweeting last night another was close. And possibly a few from during the season.

Coach Mannausau tweeted a half hour ago that another recruiting chest bump was near......Stay tuned. Sounds like a big one. I'd like to hear names of this one and the last.

I'm curious who this last commit was. With Kotelnicki tweeting yesterday that the "dominoes are starting to fall" and now Mannausau tweeting today that "the day just got a lot better", must have been someone fairly high up on the board today.

Agreed with the points above. You don't pass on a player who appears to have the talent that Robertson does because you already have talent on the team. Depth and competition amongst position groups will only make the team better.

That kid can flat out fly. He would make a nice compliment to Golloday and Jackson after the upcoming season.

I'm sure he'll be back with a different alias posting from Fargo.

FU has a solid team. After watching both games I would say they are the favorites in the Summit league. They are much more balanced than BU. Our effort today wasn't good. When this team gets down, we seem to fold and take poor shots. We also gave up way to many offensive rebounds today. We need to get healthy and we need to start playing better on the road. Frustrating game today.

Of course you don't.

He's been recruited very hard by UNI as well. It would be nice to get him as an athlete and see where he fits in.

The coaches have a certain area they recruit. They do not recruit by position so it could have been a defensive recruit. Either way, Kotelnicki seemed pretty happy about the commitment.

According to Kotelinicki a lot of our top recruits were on campus this week and he was expecting a "chest bump" by the time the weekend was over. I'm hoping for more than one.

Its funny you bring up Dustin Iverson. I have family out west and one of them officiates and when I asked him about Iverson he had nothing but good things to say about him. Thinks he's going to be a very good ball player. He's a great athlete and a hard working kid from what I have heard. Plus he's really excited to be coming to UND. I didn't know much about him before but am excited to have him aboard.

You could've said the same thing about Schobert last year. You never know about recruits. The kid put up huge numbers and has great size and speed. I've seen some boards of people were talking about him as a candidate for Mr. Football in MN as a Jr. (it only goes to Sr.'s). I've never seen him play so I have no comment further than that. His highlight tape is impressive but every highlight tape should be impressive. I'll say welcome to UND Jake.
