I just think it was unwise to have one rb recruit in a class be a guy with a known academic risk. Especially with the impending graduation of two great backs.
I wasn't intending to comment on that and I agree with you. I just don't believe that the staff neglected their duties in helping him remain eligible as another has stated.

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.
As I said - it could go the other way too. Being eligible to play football can be a motivator for getting your school work done too. As a college freshman - a year out is a long ways away. Having a short term goal can be more motivating.

They aren’t pussy whipped by the coaches like Dom and Jeff.
One of those two told me personally during the Bohl era that they had to refrain from reporting some things or they wouldn't be allowed near the locker room or team anymore.

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.

I thought the same thing. Show some leadership. As much as we would love to still be the Fighting Sioux - it ain't coming back.
It does show how much the sports world differs from corporate America. Corporations make painful decisions all the time that aren't necessarily popular with the employees but leaders are expected to find a way to support them. You wouldn't last long in a leadership position in many corporations while openly subverting decisions the organization has made.

To think practicing with Shanks makes anybody a better player than they would have been otherwise is absurd...Maybe practicing with Lebron will make the lakers great again...Maybe Shanks will be a good coach maybe not. Not Big on a guy who dumps Utah st for UND Then Dumps UND and verbals to Utah st. and a week later dumps Utah St. second time for Loyola...Questionable loyalty and stability .
e
The article stated that he really helped Krutwig develop at Loyola. This was in their student newspaper I believe. Not sure if the guy's opinion is accurate or not.
I was not a big fan of Shanks play either. That being said, being a great player is not a prerequisite for being an effective or good coach.

I think at Loyola people had mentioned he basically served as an assistant while playing.
This is the that article talks about how he helped a younger player at Loyola (Krutwig).
http://loyolaphoenix.com/2019/03/column-who-should-replace-bryan-mullins/
Krutwig’s seeing success because he can shoot and rebound, but he can also pass like a guard. He benefited under the tutelage of 7-foot center Carson Shanks, a graduate transfer during the 2017-18 Final Four season who was held back by miscellaneous minor injuries throughout the season.
Hang on a second. Shanks took Krutwig under his wing and helped transform him into the MVC Freshman of the Year, has a great basketball mind and is getting a bit of coaching experience as a volunteer video coordinator at his alma mater, University of North Dakota.
I think we’ve found a match.
Think about it. Krutwig, who was already great coming into college, managed to get even better with Shanks’ help.

Just throwing this out there for discussion...Heidi Heitkamp's name has been tossed around as a possible candidate for the UND president's job. Heitkamp is also very popular with the native tribes in ND. Is it possible that she might be the just person we need to have a serious discussion with the tribal leaders at Standing Rock to convince them to reconsider their opposition to the Sioux nickname?
No

If she gave a damn about the state she would still be a senator
Please elaborate while leaving her politics out of it - since you believe that wasn't a deciding factor. Only that she didn't care about the state.

What will we do without updates on the Red Sox?

So the complaint with Kennedy was a "tone deaf politico with a penchant for angering segments of the constituency" ... and you want to replace with a tone deaf politico with a penchant for angering segments of the constituency.
I won't defend Kennedy, but at least he had proven fiscal (CFO) and academic (GWU) chops before his arrival.
Two big things HH would bring over MK are:
- Tact - to quote Oxbow6
- She has ties to ND and gives a damn about the university and the state in the past and in the future. This it true whether she is the president or not. MK has no particular affinity for anything ND other than his job as president of UND.

If he doesn't get the job because of political detractors, is that petty?
They voted 9-0 for him to be the Presidential candidate.
Long ways to go but - same for Heidi?

DU fans will be stewing all summer long over the no call elbow late in the 3rd period that UMass got away with. The refs didn’t even bother to review it!
Did they ever explain why they didn't review it? I had the sound down.
wonder if it was 'game misconduct fatigue' on the part of the refs.

Don’t hold your breath. Most programs have a Spring Game. We have had a Spring Scrimmage. This year it’s a Spring Wrap Up. Next year - Spring Get Together? Anyone up for a Spring Picnic? At least at a picnic there’d be games for the kids and maybe a three-legged race.
The looks of pure boredom on the faces of the recruits after the first 20 minutes of the event are hard to watch.
Worse - can anyone tell me why I’m about to take a day off of work and drive 5 hours to get to a Spring Wrap Up? Who’s the fool in this story?
One small bright spot with the snow - it is making me change my plans to do what you mentioned above.

Wow. I missed this one.
I have interacted with him through the engineering school and he is a very impressive leader. UND will miss him.

Serious question, not questioning anything about the program, but is there that much hockey talent in the area to make UND a real contender? Just seems like a lot of guys from the area, when I am guessing with our recruiting budget we could get players from anywhere. Again, just a question, want to hear thoughts..
I was thinking the same thing but there were a bunch of local kids on the 2016 Nat'l Championship team.
Poolman, Thompson, Ladue, Simonson, Ausmus, Johnson
