    Depending on what you consider a comparable draft pick(top 5 picks are fair to me), he wouldn’t even be in the top 10 for his own position all time, arguably in the last 20 years even. Calling him an all time bust is laughable in my view.

    The only time to argue he’s an all time busy is when looking to piss off bison fans who take themselves too seriously like most of bisonville.

    Who of the 28 inbound on that list could step in and play this fall? 

    The WVSU DB transfers seem too obvioius. 

    Probably an OLB unless we bring in solid transfers.

    This site is the only place on the planet that thinks the above statement is true.

    There isn’t a single objective statistic you can point to that puts him anywhere near the discussion of “bust”.

    It is strange though how he was almost an MVP lock pre acl to can’t keep a starting job. But the good portion of his career takes him out of the Jamarcus Russel discussion on its own.

    My novice guess Deng Deng is more of a deep threat or simpler route runner. Unless he can develop better footwork and learn how to get separation from d-backs. 
     

     

    Fade, post, corner. That’s all he needs.  Get the db on one shoulder and space on the other and throw to the open side.

    You always start with the false narrative that "football is more popular than hockey". FBS football in the P5 conferences ONLY may be more popular than hockey, but FCS football is not anywhere close to being more popular than D1 hockey. UND is in the black in one sport and that is hockey. UND makes more from hockey than NDSU makes from football, and NDSU has dominated FCS football for over a decade. Keep telling yourself otherwise. 

    Not anywhere close? You sure about that? Membership on its face would indicate that FCS football is infinitely more popular and less of a cold regional niche sport. Subtract all FBS schools from D1 hockey membership and what are you left with? I’d guess not anywhere near the 100+ FCS currently has. 
     

    Its 128 vs 50 in case you were wondering. And that’s including all the D2 and D3 schools that play D1 hockey. Very impressive! Much popularity. Such wow!

    This is someone I’d go after hard. Probably going to get bigger opportunities at this point but we were in on him out of high school. 

    Oh man, I wanted him here so bad. Stud.

    Let's circle back to this. I also was very skeptical of the numbers that were being tossed around. Originally, multiple players were reported to have 6 figure NIL deals. McFeeley reported 250K that one had, Izzo said 1/2 million this week on his show. Those numbers were clearly not accurate. Are we thinking they were reported 2X, 3X, 10X the actual number? I also don't believe as many players that were reported had them. Kudos to the Coaching staff / players. I'm sure the collective is still pretty modest, but boy did they get the ball moving by completely exaggerating what was happening. 

    Kilty got himself paid the way Izzo wishes the NDSU guys would.

  8. Outside of the junkyard dawg Jonah Reiling here are the 5 signees I’m most excited to see.

    Langden College - twitchy and long. Would be perfect for a 4-3. Get him up to 255-265 slowly and I like what I see.

    Alton Williams - great frame and athletic

    Wyatt Bell - quick and mean

    Colton Brunell - tough bigger runner with great vision and a little wiggle 

    Deng Deng - first team all boom or bust team right here

    No reason to get bummed over transfers, guys are transfers for a reason, especially if they started out at a Juco. More worried about high school recruits right now

    Tell that to Aaron Rodgers

    Really?  I think he’s a decent coach, and there is no doubt that position group can run block well.  But to me part of the problems of being able to find receivers further down the field and our line doesn’t typically sustain a lot of time in the pass block game.  I can’t tell you how many how many times I got to 2 Mississippi— and it was already scramble & extend time.  Is it any wonder that we ran quick passing/ WR screen, more often than not. (Which everyone here is sick of).  To me, no one is irreplaceable.  

    Huge discrepancy between our run blocking and pass blocking ability.

    Just a curiosity question, and I know opinions will vary, but if you were wanting to hire a Defensive Coordinator, what defensive position coach(es) (not looking for coaches names, but the position they coach) would you be looking at?  Defensive line?  Linebackers?  Does it matter? 

    I’d bet LB is a position that transfers the most to coordinators and HCs. No data on that, just an off the top of my head feeling.

    NDSU fans haven’t been happy with a single offensive coordinator in the last 25 years. I can’t name one in my adult life that was appreciated while they were at NDSU. 
     

    Vigen recruited, developed and coached three nfl draft draft picks at the QB position(wentz and stick(just recruited)and then Josh Allen at Wyoming) and people still thought he wasn’t good enough. I’m proud to be an NDSU fan, but the expectations of the fanbase are completely out of control.

    Messingham eventually got appreciated
