Thinking it is a likely possibility. Very interested in who the OL coach is going to be. Have like the hires so far, hoping that one is another good one.

So with the press release stating the the defensive staff is set, is it safe to assume Bubba will be helping with the secondary and Schmidt will coach ILB's? Open positions are still QB/WR/OL. Two more coaches likely (WR/OL) and Rudolph takes the QB's? HC - Bubba OC - Rudolph RB/Recruiting - Maurice DC - Schmidt DL - Gigli OLB - Schwenzfeier DB - Rodgers ST - Kostich (rumored)

From someone who mentions who he knows and is "friends" with in Grand Forks more than anyone outside of gfhockey, that is pretty funny.

Offers from USC, Nebraska, Utah, CSU, UNI, Drake and UND just a year ago. Tim Miles recruited him at both CSU and NU. Some big names that thought there was something worth pursuing with him. There was a little more to the UofM thing than how simple you are making it from what I have heard, but a scholarship was never on the table for him there right away anyway. They very much wanted him to walk-on this year and earn a scholarship though. Do not know exactly what he is getting from UND, but quite certain they are full on scholarships for this year. Time will tell how he will turn out, but more than happy to have him at UND. Can't teach height and not alot of it to go around, particularly at the low/mid-major level. Not really going out on a limb, but Hooker picking UND last year can be tied to Shanks picking UND to transfer to, though not the only reason of course.

Nice try. Never once said where I thought Kristo would play but I disagreed that he would be stuck in the ECHL. You were quite certain of it:

You also claimed that Kristo would be spending 80%+ of his time in the ECHL and is a long shot to ever play in the NHL. Not a great track record as an elite hockey mind.

These were my exact thoughts.

From his UM profile page:

You never did give a summary on what Bubba said other than what was readily available from a couple twitter accounts.

I'll let gfhockey sum it up since he can provide us some insider insight to some of what Bubba said.

Sounds like St. Clair will be centering Murphy and Chyzyk on the third line tonight. Mitch Mac and Panz not in the lineup tonight but may be tomorrow.

There will be at least one recruit in this weekend per Bubba at the luncheon today. Sounded like whoever it is will be the only one though.

Looks like he was out there at the end, though with how our free throw shooting was in the last few minutes, him at 50% is probably one of the better options. Thanks!

Your cluelessness knows no bounds. Stay classy Mr. Schmidt.

Stefan fouled with under 3 seconds to go. UND up by 2.

Webb takes the CHARGE!

Can't do anything the easy way... Free throw shooting

Haven't been able to watch the whole game, looks like Anderson has limited minutes and impact tonight?

Anderson going to run the 2nd unit with Hooker playing the two?

Bamba?

Former NDSU player Kevin Feeney was his head coach at Moorhead with I believe one or two other NDSU football alums as assistant coaces. I think SDSU was his only other offer. Don't think UND had much of a chance on him regardless.

I can assure you it is true. It was printed in a story done about his recruiting story. Note that the "soft verbal" was because Mussman told him he completely understands if Iowa was to come in with an offer that Joe would take it.

A few of their games? How many Ferris St games did you realistically watch outside of the NDSU one? My guess is zero. Massey's (and other's) ratings are especially flawed for inter-division comparisons when there isn't enough games between the divisions to correctly and fully make the connections.

Off the top of my head in the last two years: -Mollberg committed to UND and Bohl called him from TCF Bank stadium right before the UM game shortly after anyway. -Joe Schobert was committed to UND and NDSU came after him hard after a summer all-star game even though there was no prior offer. He turned NDSU down. UW also came after him and ultimately got him. Not going to hold the UW thing against him, any kid who is committed at the FCS and gets a local B1G offer is going to take it. Don't know if there was more. Not all that concerned about it. It happens and will continue to happen.

A little green but he coached under Bubba and with Schmidt as a Grad Asst in 2012 and at Minot with Rudolph last year. Both ran the 3-4 so he is familar with it. As I previously said, wouldn't be surprised if Bubba helped out with the secondary as well.
