UNDvince97-01

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.

In my opinion, there are 3 big dogs still sitting out there in IL for us... 1. S Cole Reyes 2. OLB Jameer Thurman 3. ILB Kyle Norberg Reyes is the top dog at safety.

Would be huge.

And now a Schleusner chest bump, presumably from Illinois...

Might be on to something there homer. They brought Rogers and Riddle in on the same weekend. Although maybe Rogers already told them no or that he was gonna take another visit? Who knows. I'm guessing they won't turn down Rogers. I know there are differing opinions, but I think I like Rogers better as a QB. His throwing motion is raw, but his size and upside are more I think.

Riddle's film looks decent and if nothing else, he's a high school QB in this class, which we needed. The media and bloggers in the northwest seem to think he's a pretty good get. I'm not gonna do backflips over the kid or anything, but I think it's good to have a high school QB in this class in case "QB Armageddon" happens in the next couple of years where Mollberg and/or Bartels were to get hurt. Who knows, maybe he turns out to be better than any of us think.

Looks like that #hashtag was removed.

Would make sense given Kotelnicki's #hashtag

Highly contested recruit Noah Scarver was on campus this weekend. There were also 2 high school QBs, one of which I think was Tyler Rogers from AZ. The other I'm not 100% sure of.
