I was being sarcastic. That's why I included the signature win part.

Why do we have votes? Apparently ISU was a pretty big dare I say signature win?

He does play the most important position on the defense though. Stanchek improved the DL when he came back. Now Cummings either needs to do something or step aside.

It took a lot for ndsu to realize they needed to bring in at least 1 qb every year. Maybe we will now too.

Both looked legit coming in. Demler had health issues his first year and left. Comes seemed like he'd be the guy but it obviously didn't work out. Neither left because of the coaches or because they sucked or were bad people.

The edge Hensen holds is that he's really smart and knows the system really well. Snacks is just better though.

Chyzyk better stay in the lineup. He's so much better than Mitch and Odonnel it's not even funny. He's probably a lot more hungry too after last year. Rodwell Gaarder and Pattyn would be a gritty line. Tough as hell to play against too.

The stats speak for themselves. http://www.undsports.com//fls/13500/stats/football/2013/TEAMCUME.HTM?DB_OEM_ID=13500 Ben is in there way more and has 1 more tackle. He only has 3 solo while Big Snacks has 8..... need I say more. Coaches please. Look at what happened when Kuksa started.

It's more of a meta trap game and we are the ones who should be worried.

They currently have two big ND boys committed.

It's time for UND to win a game as a massive underdog. Why not now? Please. We've been waiting for 7 years.

Just curious was said coach a d1 coach and did said players receive d1 scholarships?

cretin derham hall. My spelling must be off today.

Crap who was the stud from SD? Wolf?

Jackson was a good get as was Rich. We've also had decent success with Ceighton. But the cities aren't exactly our bread and butter. Montana even goes in there.

Now you're just talking crazy. You mean IL has more D1 caliber players than ND SD and MN combined?

We've always gone to WI. We've also always gone to MN. Depends on the year for which state we offer more players in. Alot depends on how big of a class UW has because that could mean alot more really good players getting scooped up by us instead of UW. WI MN and IL are the top 3 states for our recruiting right now. ND can't be in the top 3 because of population but we should try and get a few kids at least every year. IL is a new area for us but Schleusner has great connections there so why not tap into that huge talent pool? I'd rather go there for skill players than CA or FL or TX.

Where did you get your numbers? They're a bit off from the wiki

Looking at the breakdown of recruiting there is alot to like and some that needs improvement. I love how hard we hit WI and IL. They each are loaded with hard nosed players each year that know how to play the game the right way. I'd like to see more offers (if the quality of player is there) in ND, nobody will work harder for the program than an ND kid. If I had to choose between an ND kid and a kid from anywhere else and they were comparable talent wise I'd go ND every time because you can bank on the ND kid reaching closer to his full potential more often. I'd also like to see more recruitment of SD, Digger Anderson anyone? They are alot like ND kids only there are more of them. Out of all the non midwest states we have offers in, the only one I'm comfortable with is AZ. All the other states haven't given us much more than headaches. I'd just as soon never recruit FL and CA because we can find great athletes in the midwest as evidence by the fastest guys on the team being from the midwest. Overall our recruiting footprint is better than people think but I'd like a few more Dakota kids thrown in there.

Offers Midwest: ND: 1 MN: 8 WI: 12 IL: 16 NE: 3 IA: 1 Total: 41 Not Midwest: AZ: 4 CA: 3 FL: 1 WA: 1 TX: 4 NV: 1 Total: 14

What about scratch Mattson? He was awful again. He's been in a funk for most a full year.

I was a big fan of fhe green numbers also.

I really like Ausmus. He's a strapping young dude. He moves really well also. Odonnel played tonight? He might as well have been in the stands. Stetcher looked pretty good on the puck. Johnson looked really good. Tambellini had bright spots but wasn't anything special. Ladue was solid. I'm still waiting for Rocco to explode, there isn't a player that can skate with him.

Chyzyk needs to stay in the lineup this year.

Johnson looks pretty slick. The team as a whole doesn't look like #7 in the nation. They are young though...
