I don't think SDSU had a DT much over 285 last year and they did just fine.

Minneapolis, Minn. / Armstrong UND Current Roster - DTs and DEs mixed together. Eckhert and Bell at 295 lbs haven't played a snap. Blegen at 295 has 4 tackles. The St. Thomas kid is listed at 290 and 6'2". The Sac St. guy is 6'3" and 285 lbs and has as many knee injuries in college as tackles. Maybe looking OK on paper but what's the level of JYD?

OK, that would make some sense. We don't have a DT over 300 lbs........potentially going to get pushed around.

Agreed. Same with LB. Seems like they’re both still thin. Guessing a couple of the incoming 7 freshman LBs will need to make immediate impacts on special teams at least. Hope the freshmen get to campus in college ready physical shape.
LBs that won’t be true freshmen:
- McNeal
- Parks
- Butsch
- Boll
- Ahlers
- Devereaux
DTs:
- Blegen
- Bell (moved from OL)
- Olagbaju
- Henry
- Eckheart
- Samuels Parker
Missing anyone?

I think we'll have some bumps in the road and some growing pains with a new coaching staff, new defense and new portal additions on the roster. But I also think we'll get better as the season goes on and might pull off a couple of upsets in the process.
"Some bumps" is just fine, just can't play D like.......

I don't know him personally, but Josh Morton seems like an ideal candidate--UND football guy, has power 4 experience from his time at Michigan State and knows hockey from his time at UND, MSU and now Augie.
Morty folded like a cheap tenant during a thunderstorm at We Fest when it came to being stripped of Fighting Sioux.......but is clever like a fox. I could back this. Bubba is getting up there in age but financially frugal. Either right now over Cesar Chaves.

There is a far greater return to the University with your athletic programs winning titles than $25,000/year of making it more difficult.

No kidding. $25K and the $1,600 a month rent would go a long way toward getting some impact players to UND. Can’t wait to see the canned response from admin on this
On the rent.......is this privately owned? A discount would be nice but it's a lot to ask individuals/partners to give up $19,200/year in revenue when the reality is they are likely operating near break-even given the high cost of construction the past 3-4 years.

Two things regarding the 1883 collective that need to be addressed:
First...It is an absolute administrative embarrassment and disgrace that UND is charging the 1883 Collective 25k a year to basically raise money for UND athletics only because they are doing it in the name of the University.
Armacost, Chaves and whomever else need to be held accountable for this. It's unnecessary overhead that needs to be resolved to be more financially efficient.
If anybody wants to b*tch about something important....this is it. Calls and emails. This is unacceptable.
Second ...rent for the 1883 collective unit in Memorial Village. $1600 a month. Do the math. That's money that could be spent on athletes. Hoping the building owners can help out with that and do better for the cause.
This sucks!! I was told this directly, 1st hand. That could be a starting DL for the football team!!
UND can do better!! If there is a legal issue that needs compensation, $1.00 lifetime use is perfect and they can hang that dollar in a frame on a wall.

IMO a lot of 1883 will be going to hockey (since it can be designated), so this is a good idea. Lots of football alumni out there that hopefully will step up.
1883 has operating costs so the more sports and contributions the better to spread those costs out. An individual can contribute to a general fund or sport specific up to 2 sports.(my understanding at the time) You also get some store credit for some 1883 Swag that is sharp!!

Keep this up and we're going to look like a Top FCS program running onto the field, lots of height besides RB which doesn't matter.

$$$$$$ from $500,000 to $2,000,000 each. The system is broke.
How good are your sources on those amounts? I have some knowledge of NDSU paying $500,000 to keep their WR but I haven't verified that yet.

I thought we were compensating for the time, money, and resources put into a kid? Not the kids NIL value..
Where are the DII and lower players with 6 figure offers? The reality and most relevant to UND is the FCS landscape is a developmental league and programs in FBS have funds to compensate. If you like being gutted without compensation that's your opinion and we just differ. I'd rather get something in return when K-State gives a UND kid $150,000.

Are FCS programs going to compensate d2, d3, and naia programs that they poach players from?
Not sure that's where the system is falling apart.........we certainly didn't pay any lower level players other than a scholarship if that.

I'm fine with kids getting paid but still think the system is broken. The NCAA men's bb had all No. 1 seeds make the final 4 for the second time ever. 15 of final 16 teams were seeded 6th or higher. Any smaller teams that have a good year have their kids gone by the next year. Some HS seniors are taking it in the shorts as a lot of coaches are only interested in transfer kids. I talked to a D1 volleyball commit last week who had her scholarship pulled because the Atlantic 10 school decided to go with all transfer kids.
My opinion - if it is going to be pay for play, needs to be some hooks like pro sports with contracts that include the number of years. Has to go both ways as schools/collectives and players make that commitment.
The Siouxperman8 very preliminary clause - Let's say you sign with UND for $100k/year for 2 years and decide to leave after 1 year for more $$, you have a buyout clause that pays back some portion of the first $100k to the collective. The new school collective can pay that for you if they want you bad enough.
1. The FCS needs to come together and demand compensation for finding and developing players. Players will still leave, but at least the FCS program(s) will receive some benefit, $$ for the transaction.
2. What will/is also happening is say Alabama wants a kid, but doesn't have a roster spot, an FCS and FBS program will essentially partner in placing a kid at FCS knowing that Alabama has a high interest the following year. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of close proximity options in this area to "partner" with but maybe the location of the 2 schools isn't that important. It would be advantageous for an FCS school to just embrace this right away and have FBS schools place some 1 year Blue Chippers on their roster(s). UND could be doing this right now.

A couple of good write ups from Kelly. As was expected, seems like the coaching staff will be targeting some more defensive players from the spring portal with DT and LB being the main focus.
5 DTs probably needs to be 7 with 5 at 300 lbs and higher. The defense reads like the roster in Major League, Who are these......? The D rebuild I'm afraid could be a 2 year process. Hope to finish middle of the road next season and then be in top 3 in League the following season.
Also, could be looking for a RB in the portal unless some of the WRs can provide for a Slash type option to take a few carries. We have Z, Seidl (who missed games with injury), then 2 Freshman. It's thin at RB.

I don't think he has any plans on leaving. When things are rolling there, no better job in college football. Plenty of NIL available. He's already sorta disowned his alma mater. Converted to Catholicism. Dude is 39. He hasn't spent time around the NFL and his style seems to be based around building kids and running a program.
Disgusting Question, Great Answer -
Speaking on the field after the game, McGrath told Freeman: 'You are the first Black head coach to go to a National Championship game in college football. Just hearing that response alone, how much does this mean to you?'
In response, Freeman quickly shut down that line of questioning and said: 'I've said this before, I don't ever want to take attention away from the team.
'It is an honor and I hope all coaches - minorities, Black, Asian, White, it doesn't matter, great people - continue to get opportunities to lead young men like this.

It is my understanding that we are full for roster spots and scholarships for the spring now.
Prolly, like 1000% sure, need some LB funds/spots to free up in or shortly after Spring Ball then find/sign a few more anchors in the middle before fall. I don't think we can effectively stop the run with current makeup of roster.

Unless you are as undersized as Jake Rastas. Quick history lesson, freshman All-American because the whole LB crew got hurt. Next 3 seasons a special teamer and back-up LB at 215 pounds. At 235 probably a 4 - year starter.
