UND-FB-FAN

This is great for the area and, ultimately, UND football. As for UND needing to recruit top QB prospects, this could be the function that officially reveals top QB prospects year in and year out. Another "thumbs up move" for Bubba and his staff. Promotion of UND football is so much better now than when Mussman was at the helm.

Absolutely.

Your predicted score will be incorrect. However, thanks for your interest in the football team of ND's flagship university. Funny, though, that it takes all of the 2011 NDSU graduates to produce a siouxsports.com account and collaborate in order to come up with stuff. Talk about teamwork, I guess.

New coach added to staff. Has connections with current offensive coordinator Paul Rudolph and was an intern for UND last season. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=210168409

Schmidty will throw everything but the kitchen sink at them, and Bubba already has the players thinking they can beat NDSU. I haven't heard of such confidence from a UND team since Lennon was coaching, and that's so refreshing!

That was an eventuality. Easily one of the top high school players in North Dakota for 2016 recruiting.

That "non-DI talent" BS is a main reason why UND basketball is horseshit right now. NDSU has obtained all of its DI accomplishments largely with ND and MN players. You can train and condition players to a higher level of competition. Jones looks all over the country for players not from North Dakota or even Minnesota, and as a result, they don't produce or stick it out. Need players who have a sense of pride to this area and school; otherwise, you won't get 100% effort.

They're still working their a**es off from what I see. Hopefully no "slump".

Although what you are saying is perhaps the most realistic, I think UND fans need to realize optimism is already perfectly okay in Bubba's year #2. Bubba has already established UND as having the best defensive unit/coaching/schemes in the Big Sky Conference. I mean, look what he did with the defense by comparing 2013 to 2014; basically all the same players, as well. Defense wins championships, and I think fans need to rally around the job that Bubba and Schmidty are doing and expect wins this season. Maybe not 8, but certainly 7 or 6. Very excited about UND football's present direction!

RB recruit and Winnipeg native Brady Olivera will be coming with Mason Bennett to GF starting in July. http://mytoba.ca/sports/vincent-massey-star-heading-straight-to-und-after-grad/

The Big 10 back that UND missed on would have been perfect. Now, I just hope UND can grab both Parks and another transfer RB, as UND needs more than just Parks if they want their backfield to be an above average FCS one.

Well, rumor is he cracked the 2-deep at New Mexico after spring ball, and given how Coach Bubba and Coach Schmidt like to rotate players, I think its fair to think that Baker will see time at ILB this season. He will spell ILBs Ratelle and Rich.

He's definitely not the answer, but he will provide depth.

According to SFI, Baker has now committed to UND. Has the potential to be a real good LB over the next 4 years.

Well, you do realize that Faison is next, right? Expect his retirement announced within the next year. New president and AD coming up real soon, and it's a good thing.

Absolutely, RB and corner are the two pressing needs remaining before the 2015 roster is ready for solid FCS competition. The staff appears to believe the same thing because they have been working hard on the recruiting trail looking for transfers at those two spots. I really hope they can snag one of each (CB and RB) before fall camp.

Yes, they are. Coach Knauf and Coach Baukol have done good work with that group in terms of weight. Now let's see how it translates to the field in terms of blocking ability.

Doubtful considering he's coming off an achilies injury.

Yup, I agree. It's Arrington and a bunch of freshmen. If the team doesn't add an FBS transfer, Norberg will certainly be at RB and not LB in the fall.

It has been an unfortunate fallout with the runningback situation. I think they need at least 1 RB transfer, but preferably 2. If you want to run the ball, you need talented ballcarriers. Right now, the backfield might be the weakest position group on the team, and that points to another bad offense in 2015.... Need more talent.

Thanks for that, Nostradamus.

University of New Mexico linebacker Daquan Baker will be visiting UND on Thursday; very likely he will commit to the program sometime Saturday or Sunday. He will be a good, young addition at MLB. http://www.golobos.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=26000&ATCLID=209606616 Highlights from UNM spring practices:
