These guys seem like better joe kleasons coming out of high school. Say what you want about how average the line was last year (which they were) but that was because of kleasons missing most of the season. It was amazing to see him step in a become a shut down left tackle after his injury and playing guard the two previous years. We need more of those dancing bears and fewer stagnant mountains like Gilson

Damn. We could use him

They're trying to do their part to show the excitement of recruiting and invoke the fans without NCAA violations. Nothing wrong with either of those

Lets play the damn thing. No pressure on us at all. One bad play and buttholes in Fargo would be tight

Me

That's not a bad one two punch to improve the oline

Lay off the recruiting news, this thread was going somewhere.

Problem is that Und didn't play Texas tech the year before. I wasn't impressed with 'hanging with' a team that was average and vastly underestimated Und.

That's more of a high school thing. One is that the camera is lower in the stands and make the trajectory appear more steep and also the dbs are slower so you can actually lob the ball more and get away with it.

He just wasn't that good when he got here. The rave reviews that are out there for Bartels and Mollberg were not there for Comes and Demler

You left your caps lock on

Lets get Fred Beaugard signed

It's either sign a guy a year or two every other. You just need to find the guys that are confident enough to compete. Also the quality of depth will affect how many and how often you sign qbs. Right now we need another body not another cornerstone so maybe pick up a pow guy again.

alright fine, you wanna be a prick, Michigan Michigan state Ohio state Purdue Texas Oklahoma Oklahoma state Florida Florida state North Carolina wake forest Tennessee. Done being a prick or do you want the list to grow?

Some of you guys have some messed up expectations for the football program. What exactly do you propose they do with recruits? The hockey game is the hottest ticket in town during prime recruiting time so why wouldn't they take them to the event that best shows what this school is capable of. Every school does this whether it be Kentucky with basketball or us with hockey you do what you can to give you an edge in recruiting.

We could use a player like him in the secondary

Remember how much things can change year to year. 2011 had a great run defense and a horrible offense. 2012 saw a high flying offense and the worst defense ever. I'm sure next year the team will look very different in a good way on defense and in the trenches in general.

Yea I forgot to put beaugard on my list. He has that look in his eye and is already an enormous young man

Hardin if he's a monster next year. I dont think Hanson will be drafted but he'll get signed. Brenneman will get a look. There are others with enough talent but it remains to be seen if they'll put up the right kind of numbers.

I was hoping Santa would deliver a commintment this Christmas

Sure it sucked that he bailed, especially since he could have been an oshie type player, but you guys sound like gopher/bison fans with how bitter you guys are that they jumped ship. Move on, they're young kids.

Just watching him as an 8th grader absolutly schooling players that were up to 5 years older than him was special. Hes got awesome hands and vision which always make for a good playmaker. Throw in some speed and hard nosed defensive mentality and he could develope into a special player. Also can't understate how important it is to have grand forks kids (when they're good enough) on the team.

Every scheme is successful with the right guys. It's not like football is so different all of a sudden and the 3-4 only works in d2. It's successful in all levels of football. And yes we know you aren't a fan of und's coaches, I'm not sure that will ever change. What will change is the product on the field will be more talented next year and won't get abused by teams like msu and ewu. I think the best way to look at the coaches is that this was their first year and should be expected to improve every year for the next 4 years where they will then reach relatively even footing with other FCS teams.

I'm not real big on all conference teams since its a lot about a resume and a lot of people don't like to nominate freshman, kinda like the heisman with only one fr winner and one fr runner up in history. I actually think it is a good thing for fr to start. This new crop will have a chip on their shoulder to fix things at und. I look at a guy like Edwards and he was by far the best nt in camp last year and manhandled senior olinemen with ease. Young guys playing will also light a fire under the asses of those underachieving seniors and juniors and make them better by the competition. No ones job is safe and everyone including the coaches will improve because of it. There will be growing pains with some players, but as long as they learn from them and play fast they will be an upgrade. I fully expect to see some shirts pulled next fall.
