    I don't have anything to gain in this situation the young man has moved on. The reason l responded to the post was because l was called out like l was going to take back my thoughts of this kid No! Absolutely not! I am a fan of UND football and l want to see the program successful with out a doubt. I know what l have read in the past. Danny has said it before McKinney wasn't his guy he wanted to use the guys he recruited and he did exactly that. The coach plays who they want to play. Talent doesn't always play. I am also fan of McKinney l have taken the time to find out about his journey and how he arrived at UND. This kid has faced some adversity and has overcome a difficult situation. What's going now is minor.This kid will be sucessful. I will say it again he will play on the next level again keep on mocking and laughing. 

    I don't think anyone wants to see a kid recruited to UND fail or not do well, we want players recruited here to succeed. With that said, I can't really shed a tear he's now playing in D2 or is off the team because a certain someone on this board kept trying to build him up as the greatest player to ever set foot on the field for UND. Yes, he was fast. Yes, he had some good moves. But the fact is he got moved and utilized as a running back because he couldn't catch, simple as that. Coaches didn't play him as a receiver because they didn't think he would succeed in the offense as a receiver. There was no vendetta. Danny was around the entire time McKinney was being recruited and practicing, why would he not want the guy to succeed?

    If he somehow makes it into the NFL, I'll eat my words but I really, really don't see it.

    Randomly ran into his dad at Northern Arizona two seasons ago.  Based on his dad's unhappiness with how he was being used I was anxious that he might leave before last season.  His dad thought he should be getting the ball 25-30 times a game.

    That really doesn't surprise me. He's a good player but not a 25-30/game player. Plus he's shown he doesn't have the durability for that.

  3. So many years there have been questions about the coaching and the team seems to regress as the year goes along. Usually when a team regresses you can point to two major culprits.

    1. Injuries

    2. Coaching

    Other than Leet, there wasn't a host of terrible injuries for this team and I don't think you can really blame last year on injuries either. Therefore, you need to look at the coaching. Is Brew going through the motions? Does he lose the locker room as the year goes along? What's the explanation for it?

     

    As it stands, the women's basketball team is not really in a good place, particularly when compared to the two South Dakota teams. I think a change is necessary sooner rather than later.

    It's only on kick plays.

    Yup, this is for the longsnappers. The current rule is you can't touch them until their head comes up but lots of teams/players like to play real close with that rule and it can result in injuries, particularly to the knees as people try to shoot the gap and come down on the snappers leg.

    This is not the game that I expected tonight.  I expected about 10 goals scored tonight (maybe more). we look like we have trouble working and passing the puck in their zone.  WMU is really good at clogging the middle.

    Both teams are getting a lot of sticks on passes into the middle.
