No, once again that's Dom "who else offered" & "breaking academic failures" Izzo.
No, every time UND gets a commit Miller will put any other offers the kid may have had in his story.

This must be fake news. There is no way a kid would pick UND over NDSU, I'll give it about an hour or so before we get an NDSU poster to post how they didn't really want him or only offered half a scholarship etc..
Go Hawks!
Trust me, if NDSU even had interest in him Miller would have put "he chose UND over interest from NDSU" in his story.

Tom likes to have the facts in order before jumping out with a story, otherwise he would have written a bomb of a piece about your FB and Clean Victory.
Yep, everybody at NDSU is roided up, just like Bakken claimed in the 80's. I guess when you can't beat them you just cry "cheaters". One positive test for a substance in a supplement in hundreds if not thousands of tests in the championship run and they are all cheaters.

I don't understand the criticism of Bubba and staff for not setting Weah and others up for success when you have no idea what was done for them.
I don't know all the details but I do know they provide a lot of academic support for the players and have for many years. I don't think playing in 2-4 games really took him away from his studies. As was stated on here earlier - having something to strive for athletically motivates a lot of kids to do their school work. At some point students have to do the work - nobody can do it for them. Unless it is the Gopher basketball team of the Clem Haskins era.
No, playing 2-4 games wouldn't have made a difference if he was also practicing all year. But with his issues coming in, and they were issue the staff was aware of, It may have been best to keep him away from all football activities and concentrate only on getting his studies and study habit in order for the first year, It may have saved him a year of eligibility by being able to be academically this year. He may have been a little behind football wise, but he could have made that up in the spring and this fall.

They aren’t pussy whipped by the coaches like Dom and Jeff.
When is the last time they criticized a UND team or coach? Especially Nelson. And why did Izzo have to "break" the Weah story? Where were Nelson and Miller? I can guarantee you somebody called Izzo and tipped him off. My guess is Miller and Nelson had heard from someone also.

He will probably get an award from someone or some group for his top notch reporting....
Not everybody can be as hard on the hometown program as Tom Miller and Wayne Nelson... They are truly pit bulls...

If only Izzo was consistent in his reporting with “all athletes with Fargo ties” the publicity would not have been an issue you would have to be so concerned about.
UND’s staff has done a great job supplying the kid with resources to succeed. It’s up to him this summer to figure it all out.
So if the Satter kid is academically ineligible Izzo will not report it? OK

You seem genuinely excited about it. A flurry of posts suddenly out of nowhere. Congrats on celebrating a kids misfortune you ^%$' loser.
Not celebrating anybody failing. I hope the UND360 guys are right and he comes back and gets is academics in order and succeeds. I just think in the long run it would have been better for the kid if the staff had told him he needed to concentrate strictly on academics his first year to get him on the correct path to getting an education and a degree. It would have saved the kid the publicity and a year of eligibility. And I know in this case all of the warning signs were very evident.

I wonder how this can be a surprise to our coaches.
I assume grades are being monitored and steps taken to prevent this. Knowing coaches can only do so much - the athletic has to perform on and off the field
the athlete needs to keep their act together
It is partially on the coaches in the recruiting process. I live in Moorhead and heard that the NDSU staff thought he may be one of the kids like Marcus Williams and Crockett that come to college and focus ONLY on academics for a year (like WIlliams) or even two years (like Crockett). It may have been in both the program and Weah's best interest to redshirt him last year, not even practice, and get his grades in line and him used to college life. Easier to do when the kid agrees to it, and maybe Weah wouldn't agree to it.

GRAND FORKS - University of North Dakota freshman running back Otis Weah is off of the football team and his return to the roster is unknown.
The former Moorhead Spud has been ruled academically ineligible according to two sources with direct knowledge of the situation. Weah's status at the university is in doubt because of his academic standing.
Weah had a tremendous spring for the Fighting Hawks and was being looked at as a potential feature back for UND for this upcoming season.. He played in four games in 2018, carrying the ball five times for 28 yards and scoring one touchdown. The four games was the maximum for a player to play in to maintain a redshirt and have four years of eligibility.
This is from Izzo's story. I haven't seen anyone confirm it other than him.

If it’s not one thing it’s
I have no idea if it is true. Just wondering if anyone with inside info knew? It seems odd that Izzo would break this story and since it has been several hours Ihought Tom Miller or the 360 guys would have confirmed by now. I don't think Izzo would have gone public with it if it wasn't true, but you never know.

What?
I had heard when he was being recruited that there were too many red flags with him academically and NDSU wasn't interested because of it.

Dom Izzo tweeted about it. Surprised I haven't seen anything from Miller or UNDFOOTBALL360 yet. Academics. Future with the team in unknown.

Anybody know there is truth the the Weah off the team news?

Best OL in the state apparently
Funny that the UNDFOOTBALL360 guys would say the son of a former UND football player that UND will obviously sign would say he is the best OL in the state...

GB only had spots to sign two players so Harris will likely head to Redskins camp.
They only signed one rookie (Shepherd) from their mini camp. The CB they signed after mini camp is a second year player the Eagles let go.

No, it’s just what bison fans do every year, they prove how ill informed they are. They would have told you Stick was going on day two.
Wasn't it you that claimed UND's backs "crushed" NDSU's at Pro Day. I guess the scouts didn't think so. At least one team decided to give an NDSU back a contract, some money and a spot on the 90 man roster, and another got a camp invite. UND had 2 at Pro Day and one got a camp invite and nothing for the other. I guess we all can't be as informed as you... And your 1st or 2nd round CB is relegated to a camp invite while an NDSU CB got a UDFA contract.

3 of 5 getting NFL opportunities thus far.
RB Oliveira and DL Cieslak still not accounted for. As said earlier, Oliveira may be settling in for CFL.
Getting an opportunity but very much a long shot. It is much better to be an un-drafted free agent than a training camp invitee. All an invitee gets is his expenses paid and a day or two to impress enough to get an UDFA contract. Less than 10% of rookie mini-camp invitees get a contract after the two days.

Looks like you got your guy.
I think I may have been a little over-optimistic here. He has the potential to by another TrayVonn Wright, but he isn't there yet.

We could use a starting 4/5. Unlikely but just sayin.
Luckily for UND he would be eligible anywhere except another Summit school. I don't think you would have wanted him as a starting 4/5. He has some talent but is a turnover or bad shot waiting to happen.

Brady has 20 lbs on him and was MUCH quicker in the agility drills. He also benched him under the table and ran barely slower.
Anderson has the best shot at getting drafted and making an NFL team of all the RB's at pro day, but think what you want.

Dude, they were dogsh-t most of the year and then started hitting tons of 3s out of nowhere and suddenly became a great team. What? Let's all slow our roll a bit, he didn't instantly become a better coach in early March.
Those pieces he recruited didn't fit worth a damn until the Summit League tourney.
You can think that if you want, but the second half of the conference season on they were as good as anybody in the conference. They lost a couple of close games that could have gone either way. They had a lot of first year players and injuries and it took awhile to get used to playing together. Eady and Greisel were freshmen that are going to be very good and much better next year. They will be the team to beat, And as long as Stewart is your starting point guard, UND will not win the tourney.

Really, what’s the downside in being on the national stage with Duke for a couple hours. There isn’t one!!!
And if they can get by NC Central and play Duke Friday in prime time, they will be on CBS with Jim Nantz, Bill Rafferty and Grant Hill. That is a pretty big deal. And there is a small chance they can keep it interesting for half of a half or so. Everybody they put on the floor can make a three, so if they are on they may be able to stay close for a little while.

Have to agree. He may have been extremely athletic but had no obvious basketball skills. He also needed to add at least 30 to 40 pounds to be a D1 BB player. Wouldn't be surprised if Sather didn't try very hard to retain him,
