You still have to fill gaps that we were not able to fill in recruiting. And even with some of the good recruits we do have, it is better to let some of them redshirt rather than burn a year of eligibility. With Neverman ineligible, it would be great to get a RB to fill in, and you can always use depth at corner and on the line. I don't think FBS dropdowns always mean immediate success, but they have generally played against tough competition and we have certainly seen success from some of them. Tillman, Hinojosa, Braden Hanson. Also a big part of what Illinois State did this past season. I don't think it should be what your program depends on, but looking at some of those player and giving them a fresh start is certainly beneficial from a depth perspective. So ....Does anyone know who they may be looking at, or when we may hear more.

Fighting Green? WTH? Thats not even a thing....

Anyone know when we might get a look at these new uniforms?

Probably good that it never occured to you

Personally hate the name Force. I'm all for University of North Dakota, NoDaks, Nokota. I would just rather see Flickertails than , the cyclones, blizzard, force, big green, spirit, etc.

I haven't seen that, but how can a kid make any sort of decision without even making visits.

We can only hope he had a good visit to GF. Our facilities have to be a factor for almost any kid. Playing in the Ralph, in from of 13k every night. Annual contenders. We can only hope.

Any idea when we can expect to hear more on potential FBS transfers?

I'll take flickertails over being referred to as a color or some sort of weather pattern. With flickertails, I think they could actually come up with a pretty cool logo.

I am a big fan of staying University of North Dakota, BUT if they want a new nickname that is unique and relative to the state. Nokota should be high on the list. Very unique name, state horse, you could come up with a pretty awesome logo. Go Nokes?!?!?

spray paint?

THIS!!

University of North Dakota Fighting Cornholios!?!?!? We can all through TP on the ice during games.

makes sense. I don't know how many rounds are in this draft, but I assume round 9 is about the end. Probably a low risk high reward kind of pick.

Since you have Stallions on your list, any idea why Nokota was on the "Not under consideration" list?

Pretty sure Tomek is coming to UND regardless of what Zane does. At least that is what I have read.

Strange I saw Nokota/Nokes on the "not considered" list

No New Nickname. Just North Dakota, that is all I ask.

North Dakota!

Why would The Nokota be eliminated from contention? Alot of submissions, and what is offensive a out a horse?

Wasn't Troy Hansen one of those late commits we got? I want to say he was waiting on a potential FBS offer; or am I thinking of a different guy. Either way, thats a shame. Pretty tacky to back out on a commitment like that.

How competive should we expect this group to be next season?

You are correct, I know for a fact the band is not allowed to wear anything with a sioux logo on it.

I think for me, this whole frustration extends way beyond just the sioux nickname. It is the entire politically correct initiative that is sweeping across this country. Some people don't like the Sioux name, we have to get rid of it. Some people still want to refer to the name, or no name leaves the door too wide open on the issue ... adopt a new name. You adopted a new name ... there are still too many people wearing old apparely and saying the name ... do something about it. Always giving into this type of whining and complaining is incredibly frustrating to watch, because it will only continue. People will continue to find something to whine and complain about, and they will continue to get their way. This extends far beyond UND and the Sioux name, but it is just another perfect example. Even when these people get their way (name dropped), they push for more.

Just giving you a hard time. I would definitely buy UND gear. Buying a new name and logo would solely depend on what it is, but I would more likely try to make what I have last, or buy what I can find online. When I went to UND we were the Fighting Sioux, its what I would prefer to wear. Always of fan of the University though, wouldn't cheer for anyone else.
