Coaches polls shows a lot of diversity of thought in 1st place votes... UND wins out with 6 first place votes.

Wayne Nelson reports UND picked to win conference by both coaches and media polls. Now let's prove them right!

Then there's Austin "Flash" Gordon for quality depth.

UND tends not to wait for buildings to fall down before dealing with them.

And how!!!! ( :

No one is questioning anyone's integrity or commitment... It was simply an amusing walk down Yesteryear Lane to a time when we had the interest of another talented Wisco HS player going into the all star game. It was all steeped in jest, hence my little attempts at "winky" marks (my phone is no good with emojis on this site). Furthermore, it has been doubly established that the alleged parallels between the two scenarios were not actually that similar in that one was a walk-on candidate and the other is a committed recruit. Anyone reading anything more into this offseason musing, IMHO, might want to lighten up.

Shoulda paid for Joe's books, then!

The plot thickens. ( :

So remind me ....Noah Larson plays today in the Wisco HS all star game.... Was this the game where Joe Schobert a few years back blew up in, and the Badgers got him to walk on ? Here's to Noah having a very mediocre game today! ( ;

11 Potential pieces available this year that were absent all or much of last year: 1. Cam McKinney -- elite speedster that could see return duties and open up the field at WR (i'm including Cam as returning player b/c he had spring ball). 2. Tyus Carter -- a CB with experience and skill who did not see the field after Game 3 after he opted to repair shoulder through surgery. 3. Andrew Zimmerman -- JUCO transfer at QB, with some early experience at EWU, has looked to be mobile and fairly accurate...certainly a step up at back up to push Studs. 4. Tamas Stewart -- JUCO transfer at safety. Tape shows that he could be complement to Reyes at other safety spot if injuries don't keep him off field. 5. James Johanneson -- Homegrown FBS transfer from Gopherland who was Gatorade N.D. POY 2 years in H.S., with a big frame and speed to go with it. 6. Dijon Murry -- JUCO transfer in 2016, has been plagued by injury but I have heard nothing to suggest he is not good to go in 2017. Reported 4.4 speed with size at MLB. 7. Oscar Nevermann -- former RB inured early in 2016 after sitting out 2015... switched to MLB for 2017. Has decent size and quicks. Smaller version of fellow Euro Dylan Bakker. 8. Mat Cox -- Experienced and versatile OL who was plagued by injury in 2016. 9. Grady Train -- Need I say more? 10. Colton Hessenflow -- Technically on the roster in 2016, is a bit of an enigma at DL. I haven't seen him practice but his name stays on the roster. Hudl tape intrigues me. 11. Demun Mercer -- FBS transfer, Ok, I'm stretching here...but Demun was only starting to come on late in 2016 and it seemed he and Studs were developing good chemistry.

We don't have to accept it (and can always demand more) but I think we need to expect a bit of a rebuilding type season next year.... but I really do think that 2018-19 will be a special year, barring unforeseen changes. A nice way to start off the Summit era. All that said, I am not writing off 2017, it's just the pragmatist in me talking.

I believe Deion Harris had 3 pick sixes in 2016.... against Bowing Green and NAU as you mentioned, but also against South Dakota.

My hope for the home opener this year is that in the week leading up to game day that Bubba and Schmitty make sure every player watch every miserable second of the Slaughter in Springfield from 2014. Next, I also hope that Keaton, Cole, Deion,O'Brien, Greely, Disterhaupt, Aplin, Norberg, Demon, Cox, Stockwell, Stanley, Tank and Dranka (and all of the other players still affiliated with the team that were here in 2014 -- their are 27) impress upon their younger peers how anything less than a return-stomping will be unacceptable.

"A stacked running game and elite secondary should carry them [UND] this year." Wasn't too long ago you'd get laughed out of the room with a statement like that. My how things change.

Those last two offers must be the two that Coach Agnew has been hinting were coming up to GF the last few days from "The Lou" (St. Louis).

I've been told that Izzy Adeoti will be one to watch from the get-go and could be one to stretch the field for us. I see McKinney as more of a jet sweep option and slot receiver ala a faster version of RJ McGill (when he was healthy).

The last several years our first verbals didn't roll in until late July. We are fine. Just hard to live in the shadow of the AC right now. Grass is always greener around the septic tank, I always say.

Correction:. Ahelegbe should get the gift basket. He was instrumental in recruiting Q.

Still love it

Leif Bungum? Jack Pifer? Anyone have news on them?

Your troll game is weak today, Simple.

Didn't know that Marler was headed back to Minot but back on June 8, noticed he was no longer on the roster. Teeder11 Members 3,415 posts Posted June 8 It was mentioned in another thread (2-deep defensive starters) that Flowers was no longer listed on the roster. FWIW, he is listed on what seems to be an updated 2017 roster. The same roster omits Poole, Tim Ryan (who we already knew bolted), WR Carter Blackwell, and walk ons: OL Devan Hunt, LB Matt Marler and Punter Jacob Meeks. It also doesn't include Walk-on Grafton product Zak Hernandez at WR. It should be noted that there are usually add ons at the start of fall camp and more add ons once school starts again. 3

That's ok... I don't think 12 listeners will affect the vote... plus Packer Lady and Farmer Ray aren't eligible to vote in GF anyway.

We can't get out of our own way.
