Kasl has committed to Wisconsin.

UND has also offered Treyvon Akins from Cleveland OH. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1635392/treyvon-akins

UND offered Billy Bair from Illinois and Kone Bowman Jr. At the Northwestern camp today.

Doesn't he always say he's a chicken hawk? Maybe we should have been the Chicken Hawks.

I don't think it was very normal at UND, but starting last summer it seemed to pick up quite a bit. I remember a couple years ago with Reyes and Kuksa - who were both up in GF early because there was a high probability they could play early - but weren't too many others. Last year it seemed like a lot more were there early. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of the Freshmen and transfers are up there early - this year and going forward.

I believe that Justus Merz and Steve Greer will be up here early and rooming together. Haven't heard much else yet but I think that a lot of them will be.

Yeah, I really thought Veii would have been a good fit and was hoping he would visit. Had heard at one point we had a good shot due to his relationship with Maurice, but you never know with these things.......

I never thought I'd get to this point, as I never really have liked Roughriders (and that is only because of GFRR using it), but I completely agree that it makes the most sense out of what is left.

Can't be Nodaks only for the reason that everyone else can call UND the No D**ks.

We need game experience, in my opinion. Norberg and Arrington are the only two with game experience. Not sure if the staff is planning on more than just Parks or not. One more FBS option I've got my eye on currently and then there is still one JUCO that I'm not sure is a possibility or not. But if the staff is done after the potential addition of Parks, then it is what it is.

Seems when anything came up, I remember Kupchella being the "Out of town and unavailable for comment" type.

Actually depends on the state. Minnesota HS goes by halves and I believe that there are other states that do this or are considering it as well.

I think he's only finished his Freshman year, right? And I don't think he was a qualifier out of HS, so he still has one more year left I think before he would be a potential recruit.

Well, I have been tricked before although I still believe he's likely in. I need to keep my mouth shut until it actually happens I guess

Sounds like Baker is close to a done deal. Reason I heard he is leaving NM is that he made the two deep and wasn't awarded a scholly. Should have 4 years to play for us assuming he does in fact join the squad. As for the RB position - the ones I was hoping for are not in the cards but sounds like we will likely be getting one.

He was all set to visit UND but I believe UND cancelled before the visit. I believe the staff is fairly split on him so we'll see what materializes. There are other RB's that are being looked at

There are a couple that are expected to visit in the next couple of weeks. Not sure on likelihood on any of them landing.

There are more but I hate using my iPad to post them. i will get them on here later.

UND has offered Edina lineman Bennett Helgren. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1740849/bennett-helgren

Offer out to Noah Mortel, a TE from Wisconsin. Highlights are on you tube which I'm having trouble linking here.

Also an offer out to David Engelhaupt out of Nebraska. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1419902/david-engelhaupt

UND has offered Gavin Bassett, Ryan Tobin and TJ Ward. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1634378/terrance-ward-jr-tj http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2732173/gavin-bassett http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2290764/ryan-tobin

Norberg is listed at LB again. And Nevermann - well, I've heard a few as to why but not sure the truth. Think Wyoming blocking him playing this year had something to do with it. Maybe he'll change his mind......

Simmons injury was a career ender. I'm hoping that the FBS well that we're looking at isn't dry. Haven't heard any news on that front about the couple that the staff was after for a while.

I hadn't heard that per se, but I can think of another reason why I don't want that as a nickname. Plenty of other fan bases would love to change it so it means "Missing male anatomy" if you catch my drift.
