That's where the work is done!!

I will be interested in seeing (hearing) how the 2014 recruiting class on the defensive side of the ball will come into Spring program. Especially with the dawn of a new era of Sioux Football. The current inventory of RS players are looking to prove themselves and have continued to work hard in the gym. The handful of players that I get to hear about like Norberg, Reyes, and Wharton have all put on some quality lbs., eating right (quality and quantity), and excited about preparing for what the coaches are asking from them. I hope that has been the case with the entire roster. That should be a positive indicator as to the "buy-in" of the system and team philosophy that Coach Bubba is expecting.

Nice; liked!!

You want to start the paperwork?? (haha) Here it is: The Economic Sciences Prize Committee The Economic Sciences Prize Committee at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is responsible for the selection of candidates for the Prize in Economic Sciences from the names submitted for consideration by qualified nominators, who have been invited through formal letters.

Haha geaux......no question!!! Or maybe an ESPY for the way it changed American sports recruiting. It has completely transformed athletic recruiting. Talent that would've never been discovered now have a legitimate chance to find a home. My first son was still relying on sending DVDs and paying for an expensive webpage. Now kids of all socioeconomic strata have the same benefits.

Absolutely!

I think with explosive DEs with 250-type size along with a larger/quicker Sam/Will LBs can wreak havoc for any offensive backfield. There is no doubt that we are getting bigger with the 2013/2014 recruiting classes on Defense. Our LB core and secondary are filling up with many 6'+ players weighing closer to 220-230+ with long arms and quick feet. Don't discount football acumen. I can attest that many of the players we are talking about are smart players. Being in the right place at the right time is as important as size!!

Formerly recruited the West Coast (California/Arizona).

Excellent!

Nice!

BTW. I understand that Coach Bubba has the entire team at the Betty!!

The impression I am getting appear very good. Motivated!

Being from California, Coach Nurse did a fantastic job of getting these young men to understand the value and advantage of coming to UND. After several recruiting visits (University of San Diego, San Diego State, NAU, etc), none left the same impression the staff did last year. As a father, which many of you understand, I felt I can entrust my son to this program and staff. So kudos to the previous staff!! As far as change, I learned from following the forum for the past year that things did need to change. A program like UND must win more than 3 games. I saw some talented individuals this past season; operative word individuals. If Bubba can get this engine running on all cylinders with aggressive, disciplined approach, with all three phases of the game, we're gonna see a winning program.

Great to hear! As much as "things" needed to change with the coaching staff, I have to say the coaching staff did a great job last year putting this class together. I have no doubts that Bubba and the new staff will take it to the next level with recruiting (just give them time).

Just passing on some inside perspective that I get from some a few of these kids. Can't wait to see the whole thing come together this next season.
