If Feeney is 6’3 the Omaha kid is 6’5

It is too early to tell but no I am not really nervous. The only kid he has lost other than Dixon, who was a unique situation, so far is Teiken. I think the we will know more in a month. I think he had a good class last year but we won’t know for another year or two. I think they missed on not offering Belquist but I don’t fault them for taking the Omaha QB over Feeney. Looking at them both and their physical abilities and athleticism, the Omaha kid is a much better athlete with a much stronger arm, along with being a couple inches bigger and 25 lbs heavier, not saying which of the 2 has the “it” factor. It may turn out to be a bad decision.

I don’t think either kid had an option other than UND. Not saying that was the right decision by the NDSU staff, but I don’t think either kid had an NDSU offer.

Not sure comparing twins that have not stepped in campus yet with a kid whose brother has been on campus for 3 years is the same. Jamal has been around the players and coaches at UND for 3 years. If you can’t build a relationship in that time you are doing something wrong. Just like it would have been a bad look if Bryce Lance has chosen SDSU or another MVFC school over NDSU.

Didn’t say they didn’t want him. They did, but never really had a chance. The worm has turned in one recruit so far this year, Teiken. It is about one a year on average. That is one slow turning worm.

Pretty good thanks for asking.

The family was upset that the NDSU staff didn’t offer Otis. I don’t think there was ever a chance Jamal was going to NDSU.

The kids brother is on the roster. It would have been a really bad look if they had not gotten him.

I think that while UNI was short handed on the D-Line, the were not undersized.

Youngstown should bow out of next weeks game and the MVFC should schedule Missouri Stare to come to Grand Forks.

Don’t think that is going to happen. The big NSU fish is going to a Major CBB program.

Agree, and this game will not be made up as USD already has a game scheduled for April 17th. Have to figure SDSU game is in jeopardy now too.

According to Jack Michael’s the positive test came back Friday AM. And Kelly Burke from the MVFC game of the week broadcast said she has heard it may affect an entire position group. Don’t know how reliable either of those sources are, but if true it doesn’t bode well for next weekend.

I am not sure if Jones was making that kind of money after 7 years was he?

Culhane tweeted UND issue. Rescheduled for April 17th

UND or YSU having the issue?

You are correct. You could tell when Kabellis left 3 years ago, Richman was caught off guard and pissed. He really liked him and the way he played but I think he got homesick for California. Geu and Hunter were both mutually agreed on departures. Both were frequently in and out of Richman's doghouse and it was time to move on. The 3 this year were deep bench players and probably wouldn't have seen the floor next year. That being said, I would not be a bit surprised to see another one or two leave this year who are key contributors. As watching UND MBB from the outside, I think Sather is a huge upgrade over Jones and seems like a good coach and a good person and someone kids would want to play for. I personally think the one time immediate transfer rule is terrible for mid-major basketball and FCS and G5 FB.

NDSU quickly made it a 28-13 game on the next possession (well a 7 minute drive). They kicked a couple of field goals after that because they wouldn't throw because they didn't have to. UND was fortunate Zeb threw a couple of picks in UND territory early in the game or it would have been a 4 score game at halftime. Zeb won't be the QB the next time they play next fall. NDSU may get knocked off their pedestal, but it won't be by UND.

No. It was said NDSU fans would claim it is a legit championship if NDSU won and illegitimate if anyone else won. It will not be the same this year no matter who wins.

Not at all. This year is different and this years championship, if it happens, will not be the same, whether it is NDSU or anybody else. Even if the perennial top 5 or 10 teams are competing, those teams are not playing with the same roster as they had planned on playing with in the fall. Take a quarter of your starting lineup off the field from opt outs or declaring for the draft off any roster and you have a watered down product.

His quote in his column is not exactly clear then.

Zimmee’s column quotes Stig as saying Spack called him last week way before it was announced. Not sure what else last week would mean.

If you read Matt Zimmer’s column that is what he said.

Sounds like Spack called coach Stig last week and told him not to prepare for them and focus on NDSU because they were going to shut’er down after last week.

Enlighten us.
