    Did Steckler put his name on a committmemt letter and post it?  If so, it would be my opinion he should stick with that.

    I don't know. I just know that it went far enough that NDSU listed him as a PWO commit on signing day. I am not sure when he told NDSU he was taking a scholarship at UND,  but I would have thought maybe they wouldn't have listed him if he hadn't at one point committed in writing, but I could be wrong.

    For sure!!

    Nearly all USHL guys have these non paid advisors.  All on a hand shake these advisors will become paid agents, assuming a player makes it.  From the football world to hockey world recruiting, commitments, advisors, way different.  I learned a lot and to be frank, prefer the hockey way of doing things.

    I see no problem with it, just surprised the NCAA would allow it.

    I billited the last 2 years for the Force.  In all reality, hockey commitments are very solid.  When our player this past season verballed I asked him how many times the other schools that he narrowed it down to called or will call.  He said no calls and they won't, that's how hockey is.  Most changes in commitment are unusual or changing circumstances.  Like a change in coaches, style of play, a loaded roster at a position, etc.  These USHL guys all have advisors, which become their paid agents if they make it to that level.  As someone said, some of these guys commit at ages 13-15.....too early.

    Does the NCAA allow that in hockey? Advisors that will become paid agents? I thought that kind of thing has gotten some P5 football players in trouble, Not implying UND or other schools are doing anything wrong. It just doesn't seem that the NCAA would allow an future financial agreement like that.

    Both su and UND are great institutions. North Dakotans should be proud of both - from a life long ND resident and UND graduate 

    I agree as an NDSU grad. It is a chunk of UND fans that like to bash NDSU's quality of education being far inferior to UND's when they can't believe a kid would pick NDSU over UND. The difference in education quality is negligible or non-existent.

    Wrong.  I am anti-flip 1st, above all else.  I don't get FCS to FCS flips, FBS flips to FBS.  If I were the NCAA I would take 10% scholarship $$ off the table for flippers, each flip.  There was a guy I think 2 years ago that committed each visit, flipped 3-4 times with UND and a few MVC teams.

    However, I do understand a kid committing to DII and then taking an FCS offer, or an FCS to FBS flip.  That's a different ball game.

    I would rather nobody flip either. We agree.  So to be clear, you think Steckler should be a Bison?

    As do I - many are great, intelligent people.

    But I still went there because I support UND’s academics before NDSU’s, and, well, because the comparison is considered by many. Only a few dare say their thoughts on the matter, though.  

    Oh screw the political correctness. I said what I said. Enjoy

    And I didn’t slam NDSU’s education; merely stated UND is superior. Always jumping to conclusions around here.

    Damn,  sometimes facts get in the way.

     

    Schools with the Highest 2013 First-Time CPA Exam Pass Rate with an Advanced Degree

    1. North Dakota State University 75.0%

    One school in North Dakota had first-time candidates for the CPA exam who also had an advanced degree. The national pass rate for all first-time candidates was 54.6% (for candidates with a bachelor’s or advanced degree). You may consider the first-time CPA exam pass rate as a helpful metric for comparing the quality of accounting programs in your area. For a full breakdown of CPA exam statistics, see the 2013 NASBA Uniform CPA Examination Candidate Performance report provided by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy.

    Top Master’s in Accounting Programs in North Dakota

     

    North Dakota State University (Fargo, ND)

    North Dakota State University offers a Master of Accountancy program best suited to students with undergraduate degrees in accounting, although students who majored in other subjects may be able to enter the program and supplement their education with further undergraduate study within the master’s program. The non-thesis program is meant to provide students with the skills and knowledge base needed to advance their careers in public, corporate, or government accounting and achieve certification by passing the Uniform CPA exam. An emphasis on interactivity between peers, faculty, and accounting leaders provides learning and networking opportunities. Electives in the 30 credit hour program include Fraud Examination, Management Control Systems, Financial Statement Analysis, and International Management. Graduate assistantships are available on a limited basis to qualified students. The accounting program at North Dakota State is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. US News ranks North Dakota State University #190 in National Universities.

    Right, because NDSU’s law school is so spectacular? Give me a break. One can’t even the compare the two institutions academically as it’s so lopsided.

    Whatever. I work at a company that hires a lot of college graduates. An applicant with a degree from NDSU gets the SAME consideration as an applicant with a degree from UND. The better interviewer will get the job. That is the reality you don’t want to admit to.

    Aahh Stecker.  Go look at how he handled it on Twitter (correctly).  Plus, UND was on him the whole time, its just NDSU gave him a PJ-like deadline and he obviously didn't want to take it but felt pressured.  This situation is completely different.  

     

    Then I guess Bubba is following the PJ recruiting philosophy. You just had a recent recruit say he wanted to accept the UND offer right away while it was still valid. I wonder if Bubba suggested it may not be there if he waited too long. No, not Bubba. He wouldn’t stoop that low.

    This isn’t a hockey forum. Who cares? 

    Appears UND has an eye for talent despite what NDSU trolls think or say. 

    The kid may be on a good football team but he will receive an inferior education; and who knows how this thing plays out when regularly scheduled conference play opens up between UND and NDSU again. We all know how conference play went between the two programs before. 

    Yeah, superior education? When your Law School grads start passing the ND Bar at a rate higher than a third of grads from out of state schools then get back to me about the great education at UND. 

    But this is a recruiting forum. What about the Stecklet kid that was about to sign as a PWO with NDSU and at the last minute UND offered a scholly?

    and by the way, this ain’t the late 90’s or early 2000’s. The playing field has shifted greatly.

    #butnootheroffers

    ..and no we would not say that.  That is what was just stated on BV about this situation.

    The kid obviously wasn't very committed.  Whatevs.

    I don’t like to see flips like this either. I wish a kid would stick with his commitment. But UND hockey just flipped the Randklev kid from Moorhead from ASU to UND. I don’t think there was talk about the entire process going in the tank then.

    ......millennials

    I would like to think 'your word' still means something, and I think it does for most......but it doesn't for a few, and that stains the entire process.

     

    Yet if it were reversed and the Weerts kid flipped to UND you would be praising the kid for seeing the light and praising Bubba for being persistent in his recruitment...

    Why should they? Media covered local issues most of my life. Now I hear about breaking news all over the world ASAP and I can’t find info about our county’s Relay for Life. Let local media support and report local events. Just MHO.

    I agree we need more coverage of local news. And if a GF radio station had the UW radio guy on I would expect that game to be a topic of conversation. But people are complaining that a radio show on a station named BISON1660 titled The Bison Insiders didn't talk about an upcoming UND game. If a GF station had an Iowa guy on I wouldn't expect them to talk about the NDSU game from a couple of years ago. Like it or not, that show will probably not talk about UND sports unless they are playing NDSU.

    Why are you guys so insecure? I listen to the Dan Patrick Show a lot of mornings through 1660 in Fargo and the other day I heard the lineup of guests for The Insiders included the radio guy for Washington Husky football. I was like “great I’ll get to hear some good stuff about the huskys and our matchup.” Nope. They didn’t even sniff a mention of that game existing. So petty. 6/7 last titles and still so fucking petty.

    Why would they talk about the UW game against UND? There is no interest or suspense about that game outside of UND fans. When is the last time a GF radio station had a guest on from or talked about NDSU football?

    Impressive, such high morality and political correctness, can never question anyone or anything, especially Bison Dan. 

    Bison Dan hyped a local player that has averaged around .2 receptions per game. (lives 25 miles from Fargo, how did they land him!!)

    Big local news story 3 years ago!!  Could be a break-out year for the kid in 2018.  Stay tuned!!

    It was a big local story because the kid had a Big 10 offer and chose NDSU.  It is a big local story in GF when a UND commit has one other FCS offer and chooses UND. Some kids are willing to sit a year or two to go to a program that wins and develops players in the long run. Elefson probably had a pretty good idea he would have to wait his turn, He may never be the one go to TE with Jensen this year and Gindorff in the wings and how NDSU spreads it out to all of their receivers, tight ends and backs. That doesn't mean he is a bust or not any good. NDSU has had players that don't see the field in their first 2 or 3 years and end up in the NFL.

    With their success, NDSU has expanded their recruiting footprint, though they obviously still get a good portion of local talent. The South Dakota schools and UNI don't recruit ND and Minnesota outside of the MSP area, so not seeing some of these kids have other offers is not surprising. The majority of them have been to multiple camps and the staff has had plenty of time to see them. 

    UNI and both SD schools found and offered Yohnke this year and Elefson and Gindorff recently, so yes, they do recruit Northern MN.

    Huge day/weekend - hopefully, we will receive some significant commitments in the next few days. 

    Quantity-wise, we are ahead of last year going into the second elite camp.  Four last year compared eight this year.  Last year, we had 11 commitments at the end of July. 

    Quantity doesn't really mean anything, quality is the most important factor.  The kids who have committed thus far (other than Reviere) have not been highly recruited at all.  That doesn't mean they won't be fine players but I would sure like to sign some of the prospects that many are after!

    Nobody really knows how good kids are going to be until they get on campus and get a couple of years into the program. But, does it concern you that all 8 of UND’s commitments are from regions heavily recruited by area MVFC schools (NDSU, SDSU, UNI, USD), and none of them have an offer from any of those schools. I think 7 of the 8 have no other D1 offers.

    NDSU thought the slightly slower, less athletic TE's in Fargo were better.  Or they didn't want to get beat out publically so they didn't offer due to his name.  Or both.  

    I guess I will trust Klieman and his staffs evaluations of talent and potential.

    Did he get offers from other MVC schools?

    I don't know, but I would guess not. Tom Miller would have led with it in his column if they had beat out anybody for him.

    The top

    Must be a bad year for LB's in MN. If you believe Gopherhole, there is exactly one D1 offer for LB's in the State of MN this year, and that is the one from UND to Navratil.
