So UND's coaches feel there is only one (1) DI prospect in all of the Dakotas and Montana? I would hazard a guess that there are full ride offers to kids from those 3 states from other DI schools. UND may not get them all, but it appears they are not even trying.

if, IF, UND were to beat EWU this weekend, the d-backs would be so full of themselves that Sac State would blow them out the following weekend.

OK, that's 5. Out of a recruiting class of how many? And how is UND doing with the 2014 class? All I'm saying is that they need to step up local recruiting - a lot.

if NDSU can have the record they have had with 63 local players, what is the problem with local recruiting for UND? Its not getting talent from Chicago - its getting smash-mouth trench players from the farms, ranches and oil country that have formed the foundation of the NDSU, Montana State, Montana and yes, even SDSU's teams. Wasn't Mussman an offensive line coach? Why can't UND recruit offensive linemen that can give Mollberg or Bartels 3 or 4 seconds in a pocket or consistently open holes like they did for Shaugabay's TD? I'm getting at the fact that NDSU, MSU, UM have proven there are DI caliber players in the remote areas of the northern plains and UND is not recruiting them. The Dave Osbornes, Phil Hansons, Jim Kleinsasserss and Weston Dresslers of the future are in ND high schools and junior high schools now. Why aren't they being heavily recruited by UND?

Why not? He went toe-to-toe and finally came out on top, even if it was Idaho State.

I think if you look at the records, the ND, SD & MN kids UND is missing (UND's out of region vs NDSU's hi local count) are pretty decent quality players.

almostheaven/watchmaker is that you?

If I recall correctly, doesn't SDSU have 1 year contracts? And USD also?

As I read the posts above about UND not recruiting ND schools, while Bohl is, it is a sad commentary when the staff doen't even know who is responsible for recruiting ND/MN.

Really? Election fraud causing a measure to be kept off the ballot is the same as writing an NSF check? I beg to differ.

Idaho State actually seems to have a decent team this year On the other hand, Mussman has managed to keep his teams out of the 'other' news...

FIFY

if you want a measure of Faison's cojones, just check out New Mexico State's outstanding athletic programs. Leadership starts at the top.

Maybe its that the coaches are not making scholarship offers. They may not have confidence that they will still be on the staff to do the coaching when these recruits actually take the field. That may be why someone like Wilkie hasn't been offered yet.

not trolling... welcome opinions from Griz (anti-cat) fans

that guy behind you looks p***ed!

didn't get it? UND vs Delaware St !!!!

well, we can always look forward to UND going toe-to-toe with Northern Colorado for the third year in a row... after all, as FCS rivals, its 1-1

foxsports.com story: no, its not about Mussman and the Sioux, its about Mack Brown at Texas. this is only my uninformed opinion, but the big frustration with the general direction of the UND football program is that UND is in the midst of the prime recruiting territory for FCS football talent - the foundation of NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State, Eastern Washington football teams is the farm boys, ranch hands and roughnecks (please, I intend absolutely NO disrespect with that reference) that are tough as nails in the trenches. Those programs have the same basic territory to recruit and look what they are building. NDSU & SDSU can go up against Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and get some studs that they want in the strength positions. UND? Well, the Sioux may be getting some talent, but, like Mack Brown, you have to know what to do with it when you get it. Heck, even the Bison fullback is a better blocker than the Sioux linemen. They are bigger, but Grothman has more heart. It feels like confused and lifeless does not describe only the Texas Longhorns this season.

this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Southern Illinois 9 - 3 11 - 2 5 -6 4 -7 6 -5 1 -2 so far in 2013 Dale Lennon is NOT the answer

well said!

The balance of the season cannot ride on ONLY the arms of two freshman quarterbacks. The playbook needs to use more than just Miller out of the backfield. There was not one single carry by another UND running back in the whole 60 minute game. Why weren't Shaugabay, Sparks or Garman given the ball once between the 3 of them? That puts too much of the game on the arm of the freshmen quarterbacks. 30 some yards on the ground out of the backfield isn't even an attempt at a balanced attack. Take some pressure off the quarterback and at least try to establish a second dimension of offense. Even the Packers cannot ride Rodgers' arm a whole season, they did get some help from Starks, Kuhn and Jackson the year they won the Super Bowl.

:silly: :lol:
