Washington has a 5* QB who's was a top 15 player in national rankings that is the same age as Payton. I don't think it was competition he was afraid of. But go with that theory I guess?

It wasn't a shot at you, I previously saw that same thing you did. More of a jab at NDSU/Fargo media (same thing, amirite?). There was nothing anywhere official outside of them being in his top 4, which is pretty impressive given his offer sheet. Will be fun to watch a UND commit block for him all season, hoping we get him signed as he'll definitely have a lot more eyes on him this year playing with Kienholz.

I get it, final score wasn't what anyone here wanted and it escalated quickly in the 4th quarter. Just pointed out that their fans were very frustrated with their team for the majority of the game and complimentary of UND giving them a better game than they anticipated before they pulled away. The comments were during the game while it was still competitive. I didn't make it to Laramie. Would have loved to see Bohl walking off the field that day though.

"Sources"

He's just curious about how much of the stuff he threw against the was even in the neighborhood of being correct.

That game was not nearly as bad as the score indicated. UND managed to shut down Gaskins outside of one run. Just wore out towards the end of the 3rd quarter. If UND could have scored on the drive early in the second quarter instead of stalling at midfield, which Washington turned around and had an 87 yard drive, it could have been different. Fun game to be at and their fans were very complimentary of UND.

What's a #Jack23Allers? Literally? Is it supposed to represent #JackBallers?

An absolutely huge deal that these were all kids that were at the camp and they were able to see firsthand and watch them compete against other guys they have their eye on.

Definitely one of the good ones and gone too soon. RIP.

He was playing closer to Laramie than either of the SD schools and it looks like he's had some contact with both of the XDSU's. Based on this article, it also appears he's moving to Pierre to play his senior season: https://www.argusleader.com/story/sports/high-school-sports/2022/05/09/douglas-star-offensive-lineman-jason-maciejczak-join-pierre-football/9709660002/ That means he'll be blocking for big-time QB recruit Lincoln Kienholz, who holds offers from Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Arkansas St, Colorado St, Illinois, Kansas State, Minnesota, Pitt, Washington State, NDSU and SDSU.

LMAO A whole lot of guessing, unfounded accusations and assumptions in that "news story". Impressive they got a lawyer who literally knows how little info on these investigations gets formally released and then literally said that people probably should have leaked or tipped others off. All while (I assume) making assumptions on who would know what. I hope he has higher standards and expectations when he's representing someone. Wow...

Talking both. Pointing out that USD doesn't yet have their football roster updated, which starts months before basketball.

Because they likely haven't registered for classes or finished all of their entrance paperwork? Maybe not on campus yet? Guessing there are plenty of reasons for it. USD only has their spring 2022 football roster up. Where's their fall 2022 football roster? Why one sport and not the other? The good news is, with the recently announced changes in the athletic department, there will soon be someone specific to raise your concerns to.

He said they expected to. That doesn't mean they were going to or required to. Almost like its a big deal and there are additional negotiations going on or something. Not to mention some turnover in key roles and some additional people at the table with those changes. But thank you so much for your concern.

Quoting for some posterity.

Only the players who are returning. Bruns and Mihai Carcoana who are transferring to USD aren't listed. NDSU and SDSU still show their 2021-22 roster, including players who have transferred. Seems like we're really reaching for things to be upset about. Let's wait until people are actually on campus and they have started practice and set the roster before we start getting all up in arms.

It's the 2021-2022 roster, which he was on. Why wouldn't he be listed? The new recruits aren't going to be on there before they even set foot on campus.

You might be giving him too much credit (both of them for that matter). I know a few guys who are in at BEK and they are good people, continuing to push what they can do and offer. However, they would have to put out a hell of an offer to match and/or exceed what Midco currently does. I really don't think they have the distribution or the fire power to even get close. Particularly since the larger focus on what UND is looking for isn't money.

What does that have to do with hypothetical renovations at the city-owned Alerus Center?

Whether the stipulations you're brining up are accurate or not, the Alerus Center does not fall under any of those guidelines. UND is a tenant who rents out the building on a handful of Saturdays each year. I'll be happy to offer a correction if I'm wrong. And that's not to say he'll play, but my guess is if he doesn't, it won't be for the reasons you mentioned but more academic related.

I'm not sure anything in that idea would actually fall under the direction of the athletic director. Alerus Center is a city owned property. The athletic department isn't in the bar/restaurant business. They definitely wouldn't be negotiating the naming rights deal.

If I'm interpreting that and a few other sites correctly, I don't think his contract is guaranteed unless he makes the roster as he was signed to a reserve/futures contract. I think only $3,500 of it is guaranteed at this point. That being said, he's sure seems to be doing all the right things to get there.

No one is going to invite a school that takes more from the pie than they would bring. And even then, it would need to be enough to move the needle. Math isn't that hard. And that's not happening in the MWC at this point.

I know he came in as an interior lineman that could play LG/C/RG, but I think the expectation was that he was going to play guard and not center like he ended up doing all season. That was where he played the majority of his snaps at Portland State. Lotysz being hurt all season adjusted those plans.

How many used a dining surplus to pay the bills for football though?
