I think people forget that not long ago NDSU had serious issues with attendance and atmosphere at the FargoDome. They won and now they have great attendance and tailgating and atmosphere (they will try and say they had these all along).

And yet we had no problem playing and beating uni. We robbed ourselves of an epic 2007 game

Honestly I don't think mcgurran will be that hard to replace as a player. He was a terrible athlete and not exactly a bull dozer. His experience and leadership will be what needs to be replaced but I'm confident that someone will fill the leadership void. The reason I think Adams could play right away is that his competition is Sean Mehan who I haven't been overly impressed with and Jake Hoerschner who will be a senior and has played sparingly. His stiffest competition would be if Walker didn't play center which I think is unlikely.

So our remaining needs in this recruiting season are cb and lb. Both lines seem locked up as do rb wr te qb s and p. Who are the top targets remaining and how many unknown chest bumps are out their and for which coach? I assume Thurman is still major target.

I think the oline next year will be an improvement. I feel like Adams will contribute immediately and the younger guys will be much more athletic than gilson and mcgurran. Kleason can stay at tackle and the guards can be Anderson and Adams with walker at center and denui at the other tackle. That's at the very leat an instant upgrade in athleticism on the line. Kleason Adams and Denui are all nasty players which should translate to the rest of the team and the running game in particular.

I think yakety sax would be better

Not a bad thought. He's also strong as an Ox. He might be too short though.

His arm doesn't look too bad but his fundamentals are terrible. He'd be a major project as a qb. Probably a way easier transition to db. I also like when qbs transition to defense since they know how qbs think and what they look for.

I count two qbs. Perhaps this guy has the hips and quickness to play db?

Kid looks pretty stiff and heavy footed to me.

Didn't we really cool off on him?

Just looked at oneals highlights. He moves pretty well but isn't very physical. The only time he goes through anyone is when he gets a clean shot at a qb. Every other tackle he catches the player and then either grabs their ankles or twists them to the ground. I'm not sure if we need a finesse lb....

With all due respect to mr McGill, this kid is in another time zone when it comes to speed. Rj is quick and that's it, this kid can burn pretty good and is super quick.

Noooooooo...... Screw that. Even though we have Rittelle and Labat I really really wanted him.

he meant vloggers I'm sure

According to sfi the rb is Patrick Sharp from Wheaton IL. An article from the beginning of the season has him at a 4.53 40. Highlights are hard to come by since his hudl is private. In one short clip of his he looks well built and pretty strong and ripped. Already has well developed legs. Put another 20 or so lbs on this kid and he could be a beast.

Regardless of who signs this year as a running back PJ Sparks should start next year.

doubtful, on sfi they project him as an lb.

I think he's a soft verbal

And/or Disterhaupt

As much as we need at least one good corner I'm worried about getting at least two really good lbs. We really need to find some playmaking olbs.

As far as Carr is concerned freund recruits az so he would get the chest bump if we land Carr.

Finally. It's been a long weekend. Hopefully they're good ones.

Priority it is

As soon as they make that thing a priority it will be near. Who knows when or of they'll even do that.
