UND92,96

Judging by today's Herald article, which said there should be 20-23 including the transfers, there should be four to seven more.

Not that it particularly matters at this point, but NDSU reportedly offered Mollberg back in April (per a tweet by Kolpack). I would be very surprised if they had offered McGinnis before then.

UND over Chicago St. 77-68 today.

Back to .500 at 10-10. Random thought--I wonder if UND is one of the only college basketball teams in the country with a .500 or above record despite being winless on the road? By my count, UND is 21-4 at home the past two seasons, and 4-20 on the road.

Does anybody know whether Bungum ever visited UND? FWIW, I believe he's from the same high school as current LB Damon Andrews.

This is kind of a strange recruiting year in the cities. According to the Strib, UNI is the only FCS school with more than two commitments from the metro area: http://www.mnfootballhub.com/page/show/345136-2012-college-commitments

Dean Witkowski--great linebacker and great linebacker name.

O.K., maybe I just have a really, really short memory. Actually, I was thinking Wilmer had played roughly the equivalent of one full season between the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, but I could be wrong. In any event, the redshirt junior class may have some sort of record for most combined games missed due to injuries.

I honestly can't recall another situation where a UND men's basketball player missed essentially two full seasons due to injury. He's really had some bad luck.

LB Brandon Larson from Bemidji has also been confirmed as a UND commit, probably as a preferred walk on.

Per an SFI tweet, TE Luke Mathewson from Libertyville, IL has committed to UND.

Here's confirmation of the Schwarzkopf and Hanson commitments: http://blogs.midcosn.com/2012/01/signing-day-approaching/

I don't want to get too far off-topic, but the fact that RR is doing very well in most sports, and GFC is mostly struggling, is part, albeit a fairly small part, of the reason I hope the Grand Forks school board considers doing away with the north-south delineation for determining the boundary between the GFC and RR districts. It made sense in the 1960's. I don't believe it does now. And I suspect the chasm is only going to grow over time unless something is done to make things more equitable. Sorry for the thread drift.

I would say that high school football in Fargo this year, and really in the entire east region at the AAA level, was really down.

SFI blog on the Cain commitment: http://siouxfb.areavoices.com/ Note also in the comments section regarding a possible fourth WR commit.

If I'm not mistaken, Hanson's uncle is former UND and CFL NG Scott Schultz.

Somebody posted on the ND Preps board that Century's Conrad Schwarzkopf will be a preferred walk-on at UND.

It's unusual, but not unprecedented. In 2003 the top player in the state was a kid named Brian Dykema from Strasburg. He ended up signing with UMary, I believe because his girlfriend was a student there.

It's hard to believe UND only has one commitment from the Twin Cities metro area (Rich). I have to think there will be at least one or two more when all is said and done.

For the old-fashioned astro turf, I believe it's 5 to 10 years. For the newer field turf, I believe it's more like 10 to 15 years.

So I'm assuming at that point the boundary for residences east of Washington must have been 13th Avenue South. I believe it changed to 17th Avenue South fairly shortly thereafter, which is where it still is today. It's interesting to compare what was considered "south end" back then compared to today.

It sounds like school boundaries are once again being discussed: http://www.grandfork...icle/id/227388/ My wife attended this forum, and brought up the idea of shifting the GFC-RR boundary to more east-west rather than north-south, but while many seemed receptive to this, in the end it sounds like "tradition" will prevail, and little will actually change. My question is this: how much different is the boundary now compared to when RR first opened? The reason I ask is that it seems like virtually all of the new homes built in GF in the past 40-plus years have been in the RR district. If true, this is problematic IMO for a variety of reasons. Besides Congressional, which mostly just replaced the homes lost in the Lincoln Park/Central Park/Riverside Park areas, what other development has there really been in the GFC district since the early 1970's, at least within the city limits? I feel like it's in the best interests of the community if the boundary is re-worked so that both districts contain a better cross-section of the city. At present, RR has that. But I don't believe GFC necessarily does.

I just found this on espn: http://espn.go.com/c...3/david-fennell I'm assuming he's related to a certain "other" Dave Fennell?
