Sure, bring in both in such a scenario. Let’s actually see one first.

I completely agree with your assessment.
-
Who said a HS QB shouldn’t be the focus? If referring to me, I simply said the focus should be either HS or drop down depending on who is more talented. Why not take the best player? QB position desperately needs a boost. Also, Zimmerman has no shot? Favorites are Ketteringham and Boltmann. Zimmerman will be in the mix but I’m afraid Grover’s ceiling is 2nd string. Very high on Grover? Just like Heidlebaugh and Bolinske?

Relative to most on here, yes; therefore, I'll take that as a compliment. Despite my track record of predictions on here, most would rather blindly dispute all forms of criticism. To each their own I guess.
-
Exactly. This idea that everyone not only knows how UND is going to perform next year but ALSO how every team on their schedule is going to perform is hysterical. Let’s actually allow the new UND offensive playbook to be completed, the winter/spring/summer workouts to be concluded, and the new players to have arrived on campus before we start predicting. My goodness for premature limitations ... TRUST THE PROCESS

I’ve watched his film and have seen him practice. Next QB up. It hurts not getting Cedric Case but that ship has sailed. Now on to the next recruit.
-
I predicted the same thing with QB Ben Bolinske from Minot and got chastised on this board. Guess what, he left for Division II. Same went for Heidlebaugh but thankfully he found a spot at receiver. Grover will never start. If he does, UND won't win. A lot on here refuse to listen to realistic criticism.
-
Freund doesn't want to hear from you, or probably most on this board, regarding football recruiting and strategy. If UND's coaching staff starts regularly taking suggestions from people on this board then UND football is worse off than I thought.
-
Projected depth signees: They aren't needed at this time for the QB position. Plenty of examples of UND QBs over the years who have had little to no chance to ever start and win football games (Heidlebaugh, Grover, Bolinske, etc.).
-
Nah Give me the more talented player, whether drop down or HS. A high school kid with no shot to ever play and win does very little for program’s future. If the HS QB is good, then great - sign him. We’ll see what materializes.
-
EWU vs NDSU will be determined by NDSU running all over EWU’s soft defense. NDSU by multiple scores ...
-
Losing kids to Texas is one thing, but Texas State? UND just recently had a kid transfer FROM Texas State to play football at UND (De’Mun Mercer). Can’t lose high quality recruits to non-P5 programs ... damn. Well, next QB recruit up. Freund needs to get a lot more out of that position than what UND has been getting recently. This recruiting hiccup may all be a moot point if Freund gets a lot out of one of the current 3 on roster. [enter critical comments of unfounded optimism here].
-
Until they actually play who knows. All I know is that Case had a tremendous summer camp in front of the UND coaches and he had a prep career every bit as good as Boltman if not better
-
So UND will suck as long as NDSU is good? There’s something to that, but it’s not all bad. Why can’t UND pick out recruits that the other top teams in the region (SDSU, UNI) are vying for?? Point is, I agree that UND is in a tough spot grabbing players that NDSU offers a scholarship to, but UND needs to get players that SDSU and UNI offers scholarships to and Minnesota offers PWO opportunities to. As for Cedric Case, the situation is different in that this is a long commited kid lost “last second”. If not to a P5 team, UND should never lose recruits like that.
-
All FBS schools are not clearly better than all FCS schools - I sure hope that this fallacy is not all it came down to. I don't know the whole story here, but obviously it hurts for UND to lose a highly regarded player who plays the most important position.
-
There will always be competing teams. You have to win and keep commits. UND lost here. Again not end of the world but yeah.
-
Damn. Not good. Obviously not the end of the world for the UND football program but certainly not ideal. Not something a team that just came off a poor offensive season needs.
-
Last time Bubba blatantly ignored a position of need, the Rugby Rifle Heidlebaugh ended up starting a game for UND at QB. Not good (actually horrible)...
-
Rudolph’s offense was always bad, extending from ‘14 - ‘18. End of ‘18 was just when enough was enough. Offensive system was horseshit and not player friendly at all. Too much “square peg through a round hole”. I think the players, namely the QB, were also getting sick of the crap by the end of the season also. It just got worse from there. It’s pretty clear Ketteringham was beyond frustrated the last few games of the year.
-
I honestly think any QB would’ve struggled given the overall offensive dysfunction at the end of last season. No receivers to make plays hurts a lot (many were injured). No tempo or easy throws implemented regularly. The offense really was DISGUSTING to watch, no other way to put it. Thank God Bubba went a different direction offensively with Freund - there was no other option but cleaning house including Bubba.

This NDSU team is too damn good. Maybe best one yet. It is so sickening
