Nguon was just called "my dark horse" by Maurice. It sounds like we offered very late, probably as a result of Grady leaving, and ended up with a possible hidden gem. Cool story in that his dad is from Cambodia.
Good. The other two finalists were playing JV compared to SME. I'm still not sure how Phoenix made the final three. It was kind of cool that Summit stopped by here for input but I never felt like they would be selected for some reason. I hope SME proves me right, I liked them from the beginning.
I think Bolinski should be fine at qb. I don't recall any of us doing backflips when Studs signed or even to begin this year. I and many others didn't appreciate him until he was injured.
It's not as if I've joined Team Makers. Wentz has had a spectacular rise to national fame recently and I see it benefiting UND in the future. As much as NDSU? Nope. But it's not as if they can really get much better than they already are.
It would be cool if Wentz being drafted would help boost participation numbers. And of those kids participating maybe more of them will dream big and try and achieve it? Both scenarios are good for both schools.
You think the atmosphere would hurt our chances? When was the last time gopher players have played in front of more than 1000 people? I'd bet there would be a ton of green.
