6?! Dang. Who are you thinking? Seems like Grant Noland may be a lock. Chuck Langama right there too. Beyond that, Tylutki, Thielges, Thornton? Those seem to be some I recall hearing Wilkerson talk about. Pierre Allen and Gabe Anderson maybe too? Maybe I’m missing some idk.

I’m just talking QB. Idk about everything else. Simply a prediction. Would line up well with a week out timeline.

My prediction is that we hear something post the 1883 practice on Saturday. Either an announcement that day or on Sunday. No sooner.

So to talk about something besides the QB battle, who are some players that we think will breakout this year? By that I mean players that were on the roster last year. Which transfers will make the biggest impact?

I get being frustrated but in what world would it make sense for it to be UND? We haven’t done anything in the D1 Era and I don’t know if we really have the fan base to travel for that in football right now.

I have been thinking this too. They do have the QB and RB though.

I guess when I say give him a shot I don’t mean just hand it to him. If Simon is our best option, move forward with him. Everyone is in agreement that it was a colossal failure not giving Jerry some more run last year.

I want Jerry to get his shot too. We have had too many QBs we all get so excited about come in here and then just either suck or never even get the opportunity to prove themselves. Mollberg, Palandech, Feeney just to name a few. Could Jerry be next?

Very random offseason thought, where do John Santiago and Brady Oliveira rank among the all-time great UND running backs? Both are in the top 10 in career rushing yards and touchdowns. In my time following UND football, the only RB I’d put ahead of them is Ryan Chappell, man, what could have been. Otis had some flashes (on the field), and I’ve always loved Ziebarth’s game, but I don’t think he’s gotten the workload he deserves, maybe in part due to durability. Like I said… just a random topic to chew on while we wait for the season to start!

I mean I love getting kids with tons of offers but I don’t love seeing my kids that are “committed” still touting new offers. I get it though, it’s the way it is.

Don’t love seeing this.

IALTO

Which leads me to think JTJ would be the betting favorite. Schmidt intentionally targeted him.

I would say 99% chance it’s JTJ or Jerry. Simon will get some plays but one of those two will be the starter.

Me too.

I’ve heard there’s multiple players making north of that this upcoming season.

Not true.

Deng got $30k? Lmao

lol he came in that game for 2 attempts.

I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if we are lower in comparison but yeah I don’t think that can be our crutch. We should just drop down to D2 or heck even D3 if we shouldn’t be expected to compete because we don’t have the NIL.

I know some of you are Tom Miller haters and thought he pushed the Romfo agenda last fall but so far in his camp updates seems like either JTJ or Kaminski are leading the race. Now it’s been 4 days, plenty of time.

Are we that far behind NIL for our like schools? The Summit League schools?

Thaden - Becher - Buxa - Olson - Anderson This is my guess. I guess not sure if it makes more sense to slide Anderson to guard and keep Becher at tackle. I’m no OL guru.

DuuuuuuPont!

Was there actually practice today or were they just reporting and tomorrow is first practice?
