So we had Roush in for a visit a few weeks back. Anyone know if there was an offer there? Would we potentially bring 3 safeties in?

I get what you are trying to say, but it comes across as another excuse because UND happened to get another NDSU recruit. Does UND get an advantage because Otis it there, of course. At the same time, siblings go to different schools all the time! Plenty of UND hockey players who had siblings go to other schools as well. The same thing could be said when a legacy goes somewhere else, but it happens. Everyone has their own reason for why they want to go somewhere .... Maybe they want to play with a sibling, maybe they like the vibe of a different school, maybe they connect well with some coaches over others, maybe they want to be closer to or farther from home .... the list goes on. Given what NDSU has done over the past decade would it really be that surprising if a talented CB wanted to go there over go play with his brother, No! And if UND hadn't picked up their play over the past few seasons and started improving their recruiting a bit, then he very well may have chosen a different route. That's not saying UND is where they want to be yet, or that they will repeat a Valley Championship, but they have certainly shown they have the talent to compete. I would have liked Altepeter and couple others, but thus far, I'm pretty happy with the class we are putting together. Still a few big names I'm hoping to here.

Would like to see a Luna Larson commit here. .... and let’s tack emmet Johnson and Carson Hegerle on as well.

Not sure NDSU should really be listed in this at all. Majority of that online traffic is just Lakes updating a few computers and his phone every few seconds.

Looks like the Wild are buying out Parise and Suter. Could Zach end up in Seattle now, and at what price?

Whatever, lets just have another good season. I care more about where they finish than where they start, but it certainly makes you question the credibility of who it putting this together. That isn't to diminish what SIU did, but #4 sure seems high. I don't care about the head to head matchup with UND, because they were much better as the season went on ... I still think #4 is too high.

Looks like he has a pretty athletic brother as well.

Wow, Beach is huge!

Maybe I do remember seeing that now. Lock up Gilman or Johnson!

Definitely disappointed that we couldn't get Azure, but it's not like one good season is enough to win all recruiting battles with an NDSU team that has dominated for so long. I'm still glad to see the caliber of recruits we are going after, and while I like Azure's size, there are still offers out to some nice looking Defensive Ends. Schweigert, King or Hamann all look good. Schweigert would be great being from ND but he is listed at 6'. Not sure how important the height is at that position, but King certainly has size at 6' 5" and 270. I am still hoping for the following: RB - Edwards but Gilman and Johnson would both be solid; add this to a already nice RB group with Ziebarth coming in. WR - Hegerle! This could be a long shot, but would be so awesome. Love how the players are pushing for him on twitter. Aside from Hegerle we still have offers out to some really nice athletes. We need speed! LB - Really hoping Luna Larson follows his brother. CB - I don't know enough about Dixon, but you would think we would have the inside track with Otis. Would be a bummer to lose this one to NDSU. Don't know enough about the kid's skill level or how he matches up though. Hopefully we start seeing some more commitments rolling in this week.

Are his academics where they need to be?

nice, now he went from being a recruit, to a quality recruit. right?

Ryan Duncan is only a phone call away!

Congrats to Hak! I was always a fan and glad to see he is getting another opportunity. I'll pull for him, as long as it isn't against The Wild!

Bummer, I was really hoping for Altepeter. Hope we get Luna and 1 more.

Love the Teiken commitment! Now what about Altepeter?!?

Still hope we have a decent target at QB. Never know when someone will get injured or when a kid may enter the transfer portal. It is pretty easy to lose your depth quickly these days.

My wish list: RB - Gilman or Johnson WR - Hegerle & Parrish DE - Azure & Teiken LB - Altepeter & Larson Landing even half of these guys would be phenomenal. Glad to see us targeting high end talent. Hopefully these kids see the direction of the program and want to come contribute. It would be nice to see us balance out regional recruiting against some of the Dakota schools.

Did I read correctly that Xavier Trevino is transferring? That seems like quite the blow to our OL depth. Not a ton of experience, but he seemed to have a lot of potential. If I recall, he left Nebraska because he wanted a scholarship opportunity to make life easier on his family. Can't imagine why he would be looking to transfer again. Says in his note he is willing to play anything, primarily OL or DL. Would it be possible this kid just wasn't going to cut it here? Could it be a coaches suggestion that he look for opportunities? It seems strange to my, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else know what is up, or has any thoughts here. Or, is this a kid that just isn't happy anywhere he goes? College is a big adjustment for some kids; maybe that is where the struggle is?

JOPRO! Best FB to ever put on a pair of cleats!

NDSU?? Or it doesn't matter, right??

You would think they would be moving on altogether. As the deadline passed for transferring to FBS, I don't know what program these guys would want to leave UND for at the FCS level, given where UND's program is currently at. Unless someone was transferring to a different FCS level school due to specific educational programs not offered at UND.

Any big fat guys who can clog up the middle?

Does anyone with more knowledge than myself know the likelihood of Nguon getting drafted at some point? Hoping he will have a nice fall, but it will be interesting to see what kind of attention he will get after that.

The Jankes burned us.
