Would love to get the CB that they said was coming. Looks like he has offers from SDSU and NDSU, among others. We need to start winning some recruits from those schools. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2019/samuel-fort-143659#school-interests

I used to be a huge fire Jones guy, but now it's kinda mehhh. This team isn't as frustrating to watch as the Troy Huff years.

We don't have a decent point guard. This team needs someone who can drive to the net with ball skills.

Interesting that OL minimum salary starts at 60K, and the WR minimum salary starts at 40k.

I think this is partly why SiouxVolley gets so much hate. The elaborate transition through the WAC has too many moving parts, and it's more than likely going to be unnecessary. You're spot on. There is a decent chance that the top FCS conferences just merge with the G5, and the rules will be completely re-written. I could also see them eliminating the meaningless 15k attendance rule. Even if the rules didn't change, the NCAA could give waivers to schools that want to move up after a split, for a period of like ten years or something. Liberty received a waiver, for example.

A quality P5 Grad Transfer like Braden Hansen. One can dream...

The EWU plan will be implemented in phases, which means that there isn't enough support to fundraise 20-25m for a terribly outdated stadium, at a winning program. Spokane doesn't care about EWU. They will be lucky if they end up with a stadium on par with Kent State, which also isn't an FBS quality stadium. None of these western FCS schools are going to invest in FBS until the G5 and P5 split, and then it won't really be FBS anymore, it will be something different, and an elaborate WAC FBS plan will not be necessary, because the rules will change. I think you're too focused on the current FBS requirements, and need to be more open minded to the likelihood of rules changing, in regard to programs moving up to join the G5.

They have been working on plans for this stadium for years. Chaves failed epically, because the school can't fundraise for !@#$. They aren't going FBS even if the wanted to.

They should melt it into a new trophy so at least its the same material. Boy that would piss people off! But it would at least make the new trophy more meaningful.

I feel like Freund would be naturally attracted to a guy like King, assuming Schleusner, Landry, and Dressler say no. I'd add King to Geaux_Sioux's list, and I would be happy with any of them. I think there are some great candidates here. For OL, what do you guys think of Tim Prinsen (Edmonton Eskimos)? Surprised to see a guy like that on the list. What do the position coaches in the CFL make? There is some decent size in Canada - maybe he would appeal to some of the Canadian recruits, and help to keep them from de-committing.

Good thing our coaches don't relay on this for recruiting players, and they actually go out and find them instead of waiting for them to apply.

No kidding. In addition, people are worried that the public records requests in ND limits the quality of the candidate pool for jobs like this. Does anyone really think that anyone worth their salt won't have a job like this on their radar if they are interested in this type of position? I'm sure Freund or Bubba would take their call, and if they can't figure out how to get in contact with them, I'd have to wonder how well they would do at recruiting student athletes. I think it's highly unlikely that Freund and Bubba will have their best candidate just apply for a job and make themselves subject to an open records request, without reaching out to Freund and Bubba first. The public job posting is a formality.

Ha, why? I just don't see how it's an issue that the job isn't posted yet. They are probably talking to people they have in mind, and then they will post it. Aren't most of these jobs found through networking anyway? Maybe people will be upset that this isn't posted on Monster or Careerbuilder.com, as well.

Jeesh guys. I know we're not in the playoffs right now but come on! Their jobs are on the line, and they will do their best to find the right people for the jobs.

thanks

Are these games publicly released anywhere?

Summit League recruiting rankings so far for the early signing period. Good little article. https://www.prephoops.com/2018/11/the-summit-league-team-recruiting-rankings/

Freund said that he was going to call him during the last minute or so of his interview with Jack Michaels. (not necessarily about coaching, but he didn't say it wasn't) https://740thefan.com/podcasts/jack-michaels-show/962/freund-explains-how-hell-put-his-stamp-on-unds-offense-after-being-named-oc/

Season tickets are gonna be nuts the first year ndsu comes

No. I'm saying at the time I didnt know students paid for the building. I remember being affected by it, and it was still annoying. The University shouldnt do it based on principle. What actually pissed me off though was Northland students working out at the wellness. Place was already packed enough as it was.

Uh, have you ever heard of madden? They must play together online. #chuckthepigskin

Huh. Never thought of that then, but yeah, exactly! That screwed up my pre-workout basketball warm up more than once.

That's what I'm thinking. I just edited my post - I think the black things are part of the stairs, and people sit in the middle like bleachers. That, along with people being able to watch along the railing, would make this a pretty fun place to watch a big game.

Yeah! I think the black things are cushions. Nobody is sitting on them in this screen shot, but probably only because the silhouettes are black. Actually, the black things are part of the stairs, and people sit in the middle like bleachers.
