You can't just sell like that and not name a team

Buy or sell this being the most talented team in UND history

And to think at one point I had declared that you weren't a troll. I rescind that statement. Thanks for proving me wrong. Bison06 is officially the only non troll NDSU poster right now.

Thats alot to digest, QB I don't have symbol for infinity on my keyboard but if I did I would use it to describe the QB improvement. Hansen won't run away with the job, he doesn't have to, he already did that in the spring. It's a battle for the backup spot. If play calling doesn't open up then we should look for a new OC. RB Jake Miller proved he's the man last year. I bet he gets 50-60% of the carries. I think Sutton will lower the boom and change it up. Garmen should improve much like Miller did from FR to SO years and he should be the X factor. The other RBs won't see much until an injury occurs (if one does). I'd like to see some PJ Sparks but don't know if it's in the cards this year other than special teams. I'm assuming that Miller will avoid big hits like last year and stay pretty healthy. He's a crafty runner that flows with the hit. FB I wouldn't be surprised if the new freshman FB gets his shirt pulled. WR We should spread it out more to use our athletes at WR. Jackson should be a beast and bring the pain to those poor smaller DBs. I'll put money on 4 WRs with 500+ yards each. Hardin looks razor sharp in the spring and that should carry over with a good QB for once. TE Nichols should add a nice receiving aspect to the position now that he is experienced but I have a felling that Adler will see alot of time and the ball this year. OL The only OL at risk is Gillson, he's the weak link. The interior is good and DEEP. I hope Windfelt can step up and contribute at RT. Anderson looks like a stud but plays OG where we have a bunch of talent and experience. DL Brennemen will be huge this year. Spencer Cummings, EJ Welch, and Seth Stanchick will all make major contributions this year. Devin Benjamin is the MVP of the defense and we don't hear enough about him since he does the dirty work. He and EJ will anchor the defense and probably won't get the publicity. LB Bennett and Andrews should start but there will be alot of rotation with all of the talent at OLB. My bet is that Peters and Goodman start with Goard being the third guy but watch out for Rattell. Leading tackler could be any MLB but ill go with Peters. Bennett is far and away the man at the pass rush, a high ankle sprain killed him last year, he could make some serious noise off the edge if he's healthy. DB Browns at CB. I have no idea on the safeties until I see the new guys and how Butler looks now(he was impressive the little he was playing last fall) Spec Miller and Cameron should be rock solid no worries here. Bridges is my pick on returns. Block Party will live on with new guys stepping up. Welch should be perfect for it.

I'm not sure what happened to this kid in recruiting. It's an inexact science and this is a great example of that fact. When I saw his film I thought he was an awesome player with elite awareness and thought he was getting a scholarship. When I found out he was a walk on I was a bit confused but still very excited that he chose us. I think other coaches know or at least have a sense of how hard schools are going after certain kids. For whatever reason this one fell through the cracks and into our laps.

You're looking at it wrong, the only reason he didn't get a scholarship offer is because of his relative demand. If other schools weren't going to offer him and UND knew it than they can get two good players by using the scholarship on someone else and still get Schobert as a walk on especially since it's FCS and there are lower scholarship amounts

Fall camp is just around the corner. I can't wait to see this team in action. I was excited last year but its ten fold this time around with all of the new players and new things with the football program.

All they need to do to that video to put it over the top is to add in some effects and slow motion and youd have an excellent video

Dwayne looked special last fall so hopefully he's healthy and improved. I'm thinking all Brown CB and Mackey getting nickel reps

Nice to see effort being put into football. One step in the right direction. The hype snowball is rolling down the slope and picking up speed.

I'm not sure why but I get a gut feeling that he'd make an outstanding safety

Buy or sell darryl brown as the only returning starter at DB this year?

That sounds good for team chemistry

More of a classic h back

Buy or sell a surprise starter emerging in fall camp such as Zach adler at TE

Samsrams trumps NDSU official

It was confirmed by teh samsrams which is a level about NDSU official

weird, teh samsrams reported he verbaled. Since he's never wrong I assumed that was as good as a signed NLOI.

How's your prised recruit of 2012 Marcus Horne doing? Do you think he'll be able to replace DJ?

Different situation. One is an imature kid that couldn't make up his mind the other is a diamond in the rough who showed his stuff and is now a hot commodity.

Right... And I'm sure Johnson Hall is just as crazy as the ones at UND. As someone who partied at both school I consider NDSU parties to be like JV compared to what I experienced in Grand Forks. It's not even close. Back to recruiting. You lose.

Nope it was an offer from NDSCS, just another case of NDSU getting confused with a superior school by the media. Still haven't beaten those guys out on a recruit.....

I'm curious to see if they would try him out at safety.

When you're desperate you're desperate

There's a camp this week. Maybe we get one from that
