    Any idea what Durfee’s story is?  Obviously flew under everybody’s radar. Was he hurt his senior year?  Play a bunch of sports so couldn’t get in team camps?  Anything else?

    Here's the only relevant thing I found on his Twitter.  Judging by his posts, I wonder if he wasn't more interested in basketball and didn't really pursue college football until later.  No other offers posted on his Twitter.

    Quarterback-turned-pass rusher Zach Durfee leads high-powered USF defense

    Durfee was not on USF’s radar while playing at Dawson-Boyd High in Dawson, Minn. But he emailed the Cougar program, expressing his interest in playing football for them, and included a HUDL video of himself playing basketball. Ford and defensive line coach Luke Olson watched the basketball clips. And they loved what they saw......

    He redshirted last year, and used it to put on 20 pounds in the weight room, while Olson taught him the basics in pass rush techniques. After another productive summer, coaches were excited to unleash their project this fall.

    I understand that, but don’t you think at some point it’s possible to overdo it with transfers to the point where the identity of the team and the university it represents don’t fully align? If most of the key players on NDSU’s team were transfers that the coach brought with him or came in from other places, I would feel differently about the team I think. I’ve never viewed any transfer player differently than a player who’s been with the program from the start, but if the scales started tipping the other direction in terms of the ratio of transfers, I think I would feel different about the team.

    They went 1-11 this year, so I'm not sure many people feel positively about the current squad.  If it's a 2-year turnover window with lots of transfers and a normal level of HS recruits, I think that's fine.  If it becomes a 5-year rotating door of transfers with minimum HS recruits, I'd feel differently.

    I observed a UND player make a no look backhand pass behind our own net, ringing it around the boards, ending up right on the tape of the waiting St. Cloud D man at the blue line. Now the play didn’t result in a goal but it’s just one of many examples of careless play in our own zone. 

    And if I'm thinking of the same play, he had plenty of time as well. There was nobody from scsu near him.

    Nice to see you have crawled out of your house after 2.4 years to “flatten the curve.”  Still masking up while you take a tub bath alone at home?

    He's been dealt with.  Don't get into COVID or personal attacks.
