Anything new on Jamernik?

Francois has picked up an offer from Iowa State.

That is true of the commitments we got. I can't find the Wiki page but my memory is that we offered a lot of kids that committed elsewhere and we eventually ended up with a bunch of players with D2 offers.

I disagree a little. My take is that we did offer a lot of higher end recruits but didn’t get many of them. Hopefully that changes with the new regime.

Excellent news

I have watched him play a lot of football and basketball. He is a great athlete and would be a very good addition. He was really good as a dual threat qb last fall and took them to the state finals but heard he might play a few different positions next fall. Would also be nice to build a recruiting connection to Minnetonka.

Looks like he followed to WSU

how do you ignore the cross checks to the head/neck behind other net right before rush for goal? as others said - he was being held down also.

for a few seconds had a nice overhead shot of 1/2 the ice with only the goalie in the frame.

I spent a year at St John's playing (sitting on bench) for Gagliardi way back in the day. You are correct in that they find a way to get their top athletes other scholarships since athletic scholarships are not allowed.

Gronowski to Iowa.

I agree although it’s just one more step beyond walk-on's vs. scholarship players. The scholarship athletes always got/get first look.

I think in that is right. He was a Minnetonka kid.

Heard (2nd or 3rd hand) that the NIL money for our new QB was $50k. It's impressive that we have kind of NIL money to offer if true.

I'm pretty much a 'don't let the door hit you in the arse' guy but I'd welcome him back. Local guy, great player and the landscape of college fb has changed so much lately that I think we need to get with the times and get better any way we can. And............I randomly connected with his family at tailgating 2 years ago and they always had a big party going and offered up great food and drinks to me.

I thought I heard - ‘Refs you suck’

Guessing some of them are with teams that are still playing.

My take is that he now has experience at the highest level of college football. Hoping that he can parlay what he has learned and the connections he has made to put together a top staff and roster. Others had head coaching experience but not at the FCS level or above. It is a tradeoff and a bit of a crap shoot either way.

Honest question. Why were you hesitant on the Schmidt hire?

The student who ran the sack city sign for us the three years before this one was good friends with Q. Made his own Q shirt by drawing on a white tank top T. He even came back for senior day this year just for Q. I asked how he knew him and he said they lived next to each other and Q came over and introduced himself and is a helluva guy. They've been friends ever since.

1883 Collective posted these guys are back: Liam Becher Lance Rucker

I'm old and he's the only one I could think of. I remember watching him when I was in hs and he was a beast at the QB position.

Tom Biolo? Not sure if he would be considered a dual threat in today's era but I remember him as a pretty good running QB.

In 2023, about 45% of student-athletes who entered the transfer portal were able to move to a new school. Most, if not all, of our guys that I am aware of that entered the portal found new teams. There must be a bunch of guys that are at lower end of rosters across the country that are taking one last shot and don't catch on anywhere.
