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.

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?

I understand the sentiment with these ND kids but I’m actually kind of excited about the two for 2026.

They’re here.

My guess is Sulik. Just not wearing his # and could potentially be from the spring when they weren’t given their new numbers yet.

I do wonder if one of the other three wins the job that Simon will have a package. One similar to 2023.

Big time disagree. I like those ones a lot. Without featuring the Hawk, not sure where else they could really go.

I don’t think the jerseys need to be “special”. I just want clean jerseys that don’t look silly when you buy them without a number. Nashville jerseys, Nodak jerseys and you’re good. Color variations of both, of course.
