  1. Close. Africa, yes, by way of Canada. Raw, athletic and plays a lot above the rim. Patience, grasshoppers. :D

    EDIT: I am not positive about nationality... just that last country he played in in Africa is different than Nigeria.

    logosystem-athleticsecondary-2023-600x150.jpg

    I wonder what the response to the logo would have been had this been what they came out with first.  Also makes me wonder if this logo was an option and Ed chose the official logo we have been using.   There hasn't been any write up or stories about it....yet.  Just seems odd that UND just sort of slipped it on its website and then played the promo video with a shirt on it for the reveal.  Off way to roll out a secondary logo.

    It was rolled out during Armacost’s State of the University address on Thursday. Both the Herald and KNOX covered the address and KVRR did, as well, from Fargo. There were more than 250 people actually in person at the address. Another 400 tuned in on Zoom. All the media chose to focus only on the enrollment increase projection. Nothing on the new secondary mark. UND didn’t really try to keep it under the radar.

    From the article - "No. 3 quarterback Simon Romfo" - Does that Feeney No. 2 and Kaminski No. 4, or vice versa?

    Jer keeps red shirt intact  He’s 4 or 5 if you count Q.

    From Miller's article the other day. Would be nice if Klein can stay healthy and become a red zone weapon on those lob passes.  Sounds like it's been pretty successful so far in camp.  

     

    • Redshirt freshman corner Antonio Bluiett broke up a Tommy Schuster lob pass to 6-foot-6 Elijah Klein — one of the rare times the Schuster lob to Klein has been unsuccessful at camp.

     

    I think the transfer at NG who goes 315 is really going to help on short yardage situations.  He brings 25 more lbs of beef than the other NG's.  Even on non short yardage plays if he can bull rush and take up two OL guys at times....that will be huge.   The other DL transfer being bigger also will help.  

    Griff didn’t do much to write home about at NIU but I’m hoping we see a similar dynamic with Griff as we did with Hoos on the other side of the ball. A transfer who finds a home and a sweet  spot and an opportunity to shine that he’s wasn’t getting at his former school. 

    On another note, if you see Tom Miller’s write up today about the Tommy to Jack Wright TD… nothing about it is an exaggeration. I saw it with mine own eyes. Tommy bombed it from midfield and put it out in front of Jack, where only he could dive and slide to make the TD catch in tight double coverage.

    Hoping Navratil becomes a consistent playmaker for us at OLB this year. 

    Me too… if you watch last year’s recap of the UNI game at the Alerus, you will see the Navratil we all know is there at OLB. But strangely after that game, his noticeable presence kind of tapered off.

    I'm sad to report that I took this to mean the OL isn't as good as it should be. :)

    Also, with Hembry getting one it must have been a CB sack. Can't recall the last time I saw that.

    You’re right, what was I thinking…. :wink:

    The encouraging part is we have a ton returning on offense so the defense coming out of the gate faster should a bit tougher to do.   Hopefully a sign of good things to come

    Indeed, the real test will happen next week when full pads and more contact starts to be allowed. But then my anxiety also rises due to risk of stupid practice injuries. I’m never settled.

  8. Tucked casually into Tom Miller’s Fall Camp Day 4 recap was this observation. FWIW, I’ve observed good defensive trends, as well, in my limited early looks at this year’s Hawks:

    • The defense disrupted more plays than usual Saturday with pressure at the quarterback. Jaelen Johnson, Josh Navratil and Devin Hembry all had quarterback "sacks" in the non-contact team drills.

    Still a lot to be determined if these are sustained trends or flashes in the pan. Whether it’s  a simplified playbook or chip on their collective shoulders or both, it’s encouraging. All that said, the defensive side of the ball usually comes out of the gates faster in fall camp and the O plays catch up. And Depth at linebacker is still a concern. However a few young LBs have come in with the right body types and are vying to play sooner than later. 

    Buckle up!

    Really hoping he sees the field this year, have to hope he can beat the injury bug and we get "one of the greatest wide receivers in North Dakota prep history" out on the field 

    For sure. When you watch him walk and run it looks like he’s patched together with spare parts. But my can he catch!

    There’s always a player or two that surprises in fall camp, who does everyone think that will be? I’m going to go with Nick Kupfer, although maybe some could argue that occurred last year. I think he could really transform more into a Noah Wanzek this year. Otherwise, I think we will see Sawyer Seidl make some flashy plays.

    Weird to think i live a couple blocks away from UND's Mount Rushmore's Jerome Beasley...i biked by him at 110 Cherry Street last night and he was with his 5'2" baby momma and who knows how many kids and he was pounding a bud light.

    Just please stop.

    Rather play them when they’re good (as usual). UND needs to step up, not down. No need to baby the expectations anymore than they already have been. Just win, baby. Will this be a renaissance year for Bubba? I f*cking hope so. 

    Exactly.
