UNDvince97-01

Big road win. Look what happens when you hit your free throws. Great job guys. Now go beat the Griz.

Free throws.

Agreed. Have heard Combs, Opara and Akeem Roller all are academic casualties. Look for these guys to end up going the Juco route. I'd say there is a 5% chance of Opara getting everything in order to attend UND by this fall. I hope I'm wrong. Would love to see him there.

It's academics for Opara. Positive. He never even 'officially' visited UND. Really odd.

Rumors out there about Rashadeem Gray flirting with UNI lately. Sounds like UND might be dropping him if they haven't already. I'm guessing Patrick Sharp had something to do with this. The wonderful world of recruiting.

Heard the same thing. The comment I heard was that he's showing why he originally signed in the B1G on signing day. Of course, these are just workouts and it needs to translate onto the football field obviously before we start anointing anyone. Exciting nonetheless. So if he doesn't redshirt, you have: Hardin, McGill, Jackson, Golladay, Townsend and now Robertson? Gonna be a battle to even step on the field there. Romon Bridges, Pat Brown, Anthony Fletcher and Casey Young will have to wait their turn I guess. And this fall we presumably add Aeron Carr.

As I have said all along, I knew that would be a tough one to get. When he didn't commit the following week after his visit, I figured he would be looking closer to home.

Well, if Northern Illinois offered him, we were recruiting the right kid. Gotta give the coaches credit for that. This is the slippery slope that comes along with recruiting "studs" and FCS/FBS "fringe kids".

Saw on SFI Twitter account that Dickinson OL Jesse Kubik is going to ndsu: http://blogs.midcosportsnet.com/2013/01/signing-day-approaching-2/

Besides Mikias Alipate, UND hasn't lost anyone else that they were after hard against SDSU. Plus, we got Aeron Carr. The one I'm not entirely sure about is OL Joe Kucikevicius from Illinois. Not sure if he visited or how hard we were after him. The other remaining battle out there right now against SDSU is QB Tyler Rogers. Although I tend to think he won't end up at either school. As of now, Alipate is the only one UND has truly lost to SDSU on. We got Aeron Carr. Not bad considering how the 2 teams did the last few years.

Holy high school gym, Batman!

I believe Fahning has been heading to Minnesota for a while now. Maybe as a PWO? He would have been a miracle given his offers and options anyways. I've also heard Roller has academic issues, which is why we surprisingly haven't heard hardly anything about him. Would have loved to have him as well. Redmond is realistic and would be a great get. Competition is high on him too though. We shall see.

IMO - Kuksa and Reyes are both no-brainer safeties with Reyes being the best prospect to play right away next year. If we were lucky enough to get Thurman too, which I think is going to be extremely tough, he projects best as a OLB. Disterhaupt could also be a candidate to move around and play another position as well.

He was in on an official visit last weekend.

I don't believe Robertson's clock ever started because he never enrolled, right? Didn't he go directly from high school to a community college? So I believe he could redshirt if UND really wanted him to, correct? But I dont think Robertson came here to redshirt. He might just replace Oliver's "spot" in the 2012 class. Who knows though.

You just realized that now? That's just how they roll over there. Always have. Thought that was just common knowledge? And you are right, it is funny.

And Golladay had no other offers, no rivals page and no stars..... I digress. FWIW, Bobbit apparently signed as a LB at SDSU. I still like Reyes the best of the 3, followed by Kuksa, as I stated a while back. Hopefully we got this year's Golladay again in Kuksa and SDSU got their Elmore with Bobbit.

Schleusner is unconscious right now in Illinois.

The other variable is that our competition was our FCS peers in the Midwest: UNI, USD, WIU, SDSU and SIU Pretty good sign with that competition.

Just watch the film: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/351520/highlights/26265410

Kuper, Dressler, Hardin, Jackson....

Check out his highlights. I think both. Just my opinion.

I think he's definitely a candidate. Obviously have to see if he can handle it physically and mentally first in fall camp, but yes I think so.

Beat me to it. Just saw that on SFI. Unbelievably big get.

Take it for what its worth (not much), but the first time i watched Thurman's highlights I said "zeke" out loud.
