We will have a lot to offer but for us it will always be about player development. It's what has been key for FU and was our key in the past. If Minnesota wants to beat Michigan and Ohio St it's focus needs to be on keeping the top 7-8 in Minnesota and filling the rest of the class nationwide. We need to continue to get a few they offer preferred walk on.

Need some speed at the WR spot to move the ball in them. They are very talented up front and with our OL this year running would have been tough. Offensively they have a lot of athletes and running back is a dude. They are a very good and well coached football team that will continue to reload with FBS transfers and I'm sure very good recruits.

I'll sum up your post- "there is no grey area but the only grey area is. They seem lax on it but it's not clearly defined. ".

It sucks but if we really want to compete we need to keep signing these caliber kids and keep them. I trust our staff and the excitement they bring to recruiting as we continue to build. The kid is a very good talent and will likely have decisions to make. We need to work to keep his commitment.

There is a lot of grey area. It's not as cut and dry as you make it out to be either. I had a conversation with one of NDSUs coaches after DeLuca got granted And they were fairly certain it was going to happen but couldn't 100% guarantee it would be granted. There was a lot of work that went into making the decision to end his season after he wasn't needed anymore.

One of the dirtiest blocks I have ever seen.

Scholarship reduction hurt them for a long time.

Only way you get a raise at WMU is by showing there is serious interest in your services right now. The guy can't lose with this as it is likely WMU is calling all boosters to prepare a counter offer.

Cutting sports would have been a step in the right direction as well

It's all about $$$. Although i don't know how much UofM will offer a new coach with all the buyouts they are paying right now.

My guess is there will be no active recruiting but we have a former player now on our roster along with a former coach.

The largest ROI for our athletic dept is men's basketball. More people would see them in a first round tourney game than any other sport/broadcast. It needs to be treated as such if a new higher should be made. Jones has done nothing to warrant a raise. Very good recruiter (even in the tundra) so far an average coach and player developer.

You and a lot of others. I get he was our best running back two years ago but man he could be a weapon in the slot. His speed won't do us a lot of good when he is on the sidelines because JJ and #5 need to get their carries as well.

Where? Who? I read the whole thread and only saw people comment on blowing a huge lead. Not winning

Well I'm done watching for the night. Probably take more effort to get to bed than some of our players put forth tonight.

Make a fhawking free throw.

You mean run the offense through the post which we are clearly better than they are.

I don't think they have an inbounds play. They just throw it to half court.

Hey Coach Jones, they are switching every screen. Any adjustments? !@#$ it. Just let them play.

Team looks lost and has no hustle. Seales gets the ball stripped and jogs back up the court. Find a coach these guys will play for. Sure isn't the one we have.

Getting out hustled and out coached right now.

Drick will be a double/double guy vs. Big Sky competition. Again, it is my opinion the league is down this season.

UND has a better back court than nearly every team in the Big Sky and will get points in the paint vs Big Sky competition. Drick will be a double/double guy and Avants will be able to continue his recent play due to level of competition. We have better balance than every team in the league plus the conference player of the year.

Yep, it's my opinion based on my observations up to this point in the season.

I don't think they would beat Duke but I've watched enough of the Big Sky teams this season to have the opinion it will be embarrassing if we don't win the conference. I don't care what RPI or anyone else says. There are not many good teams in the Big Sky this season. Even you could take a quick look at the standings and schedules to realize this if you don't want to watch any games. Currently a total of two teams over .500. Lots of bad schedules. Never remotely said they would beat Duke but i fully expect out talented team to win our conference. If they don't, it's on the coaches. No excuses.
