I did some research concerning the stable of stallions- Word on the UAB kid is he's an angry runner....I like the sound of that.
Simmons has applied for a hardship, and the NCAA looks at these on a case by case basis. I think he has a good case. That said, his shoulder isn't healing as well as the Dr's would like and it's up in the air as to his status going forward. With that, we hope to bring in another 2015 football ready running back from JUCO or FBS ranks, much to the dismay of queenranch.

I agree with unproven but I think collectively the unit will be better than last year simply because they are the kind of runners that fit the system we are trying to instill here. It take a few games to get into and I think Simmons starts simply because he was in the system last year. But with Simmons Arrington and either one of the freshman or another JUCO it has potential to be a solid group with more potential than last year.
Agreed, I will take what we have going compared to last year. With all the wisdom floating around here, Simmons played 6-7 quarters of ball last year before his injury.......and chance of a hardship, meaning 2 years eligibility left? -
Well, there it is on twitter. Arrington has virtually no stats from last year, very limited carries........
-
I don't think there's enough solid info public to know who it is 100% but I know for sure Arrington was suppose to be on campus with Rabb. That is why I'm leaning towards Arrington.
I also think Daniels is going to be a good player and if we get him I think that would be the extent of RBs for us. With Simmons, potentially Arrington, Olivera, Santiago, Sharp (who I think has the potential to leave) and Daniels gives us a lot more options than we're had before. Though I could see one of the potentially 3 Freshman red shirting and bringing in one more JUCO.
With all those RBs listed 1 word comes to mind......unproven. That's not saying a guy can't have a break-out year, but this position will be a big question mark until game day. I hope to see one more JUCO or FBS option at RB, and that is with the assumption Arrignton is on board. Unless Sharp is packing on the muscle and increasing agility and toughness, he's not an option.

Very few teams in the FCS have the scholarship money that UND has this year.
I made that point before that with limited scholarships things even out. SU has an established roster taking up money, without infinite scholarships, you run out of money trying to keep upper classmen happy while having enough to get all the recruits you want. I am surprised Ellefson is the #8 player in MN, I think that is too high given the competition. As always, just an opinion and recruiting is part speculation with projection, hope, and wishful thinking.

Momoh will be an OLB coming off the edge......a lot.
The inexact science of recruiting. In the 90's UND had a highly touted Mask kid and a guy that was second fiddle, Riendeau. Just one of so many examples of how all teams miss on big recruits and hit on lesser recruits. It seems like the Thielen kid from DL was missed although UND and NDSU were told the kid is a late bloomer. UND probably had to take a few 'flyers' last year considering the time table. I expect this recruiting class to be more of a foundation for years to come.

We should be able to discuss FU on a UND fan site without having hordes of FU fans responding, defending and deflecting every comment. I would be very willing to take on moderating. However know that my philosophy would be that this is a UND fan site, created for UND fans to discuss UND sports. Guests are welcome as guests not as trolls living in the basement. You can PM if you want my assistance.
I have only been following Sioux Sports Forum for around a year, posting less than a year. But I do have good connections and would prefer to converse with fellow supporters and not hear from the SU 1% club, which consists of the most arrogant and annoying. I am in favor of some monitoring. And with that I will await the responses from the idiots on how UND fans are more arrogant and annoying........

Orange jacket and white hat at middle of the field celebration, that's me.
Big fist fight the night before the game in bar parking lot against Grand Valley Alum, me too.
Good times-

I thought it was the old guy who took you and your Mom to Perkins and pointed out the clear choice.
Everything said that day was so ever true. Thanks for that-

Did I argue that neutral site games were the same as road games? NDSU is undefeated in road playoff games in their D1 FCS Championship seasons. That is a fact. What was the point you were trying to make with your original quote, which could be misleading to those who were not aware that NDSU had EARNED home field advantage throughout the playoffs each of their FCS Championship seasons? Your quote has as much meaning as saying UND is undefeated against NFL teams.
Yep, no doubt you earned it and should be proud. NDSU has reached the status of Montana in which every benefit will be given to these 2 teams to ensure either a bye or first round home game. I have no problem with this, it's earned on the field and with ticket sales.
But, UND hasn't played an NFL team and never will. NDSU has played 2 road play-off games, 1-1, and will eventually play another road play-off game. That's the difference. To point out it's hard to play on the road vs. 12 or so home play-off games is just a fact. I don't know why some SU guys monitoring this site are so insecure about this. I am done pointing out the facts. Time to go pheasant hunting with the Cogswell Cannon. Roll Bearkats!!
-
Hate to tell you this, but from a players stand point if you arent playing at home---its a road game. Plain and simple. All you are doing is splitting hairs for the sake of a BS argument.
Plus FYI I have never known anyone who has voiced an opinion on this subject such as yours. EVER. The reasons are obvious which just makes you look foolish.
Mr. Thin Skin, want to put some money on it. We could have it fact checked. Sports analysts, coaches, and players talk every week about home field advantage. I don't need a lecture on what players think.

Bison Championship seasons, zero road victories and counting!! No one with a brain considers neutral site games road games. We are beating a dead horse on this point.
The last Big Sky road playoff win, was in 2008- they have lost 8 home playoff games during that stretch.
During the same time frame the MVFC has 6 road playoff wins and 2 home playoff losses.
Left turn Clyde-

Since you're saying NDSU has won zero road playoff games "in this stretch", I'm assuming you mean during the run of 3 consecutive national championships. If that is what you are referring to, then to stay away from the neutral/road game debate, I would say that NDSU is undefeated in road playoff games during this stretch. Whether you say a neutral site game is a road game or not, there is no arguing that NDSU has not lost a road playoff game during the stretch that you appear to be referring to.

Here's the press release announcing the three juco transfers: http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=209815090
And I did verify that 2 of these signings count against last years numbers. So, we still have spots open for 29 more players......might help a little.

Billy Turner was a Big 10 player straight out of high school, the guy started as a true freshman. The coaches were amazed they got him, any Bison fans that try to convince themselves otherwise are fooling themselves. No chance Kill lets him leave the state, Billy was a classic example of Brewster not being able to evaluate talent that doesn't have four or five stars next to his name. If he lived in Wisconsin or Iowa, those coaches don't let him leave the state.
Kill has been doing a solid job at keeping these players, Ben Lauer would be one example.
Gasp for air!!!
You mean the Bison didn't mold Turner from a lump of crap into an NFL player!!
Current players all said he was the best athlete on the team....could throw the ball 70 yards was one interesting tidbit.
Thanks for your honest and very reliable post.

Don't be naive, I was a 2005 recruit and chose UND over NDSU, SDSU, Indiana, and multiple walk on offers from other Big Ten schools. I was offered a half scholarship to UND and a full to NDSU, SDSU, and Indiana and chose UND because of the staff and the opportunity to play defense. NDSU hasn't won every recruiting battle since either. If you don't know what you're talking about, stay away because you reflect poorly on the institution you associate yourself with......
My folks wouldn't even let me talk to NDSU......Rocky was crashing and burning at that time.

Let's face it, for a school in eastern ND, your primary area for recruiting (outside of ND) will be MN, WI, IA, SD, IL, NE. I'm not sure how you expect to have major recruiting success vs. SDSU, USD, UNI and other teams that sit and play in that recruiting area. A result of playing in the BSC will be having some struggles with recruiting those states vs. teams playing closer than you play. Of course, recruiting CO, UT, CA, WA, OR ect. . . is no picnic for a team sitting in eastern ND either.
Something to think about.
So you are leaving us a triangle between Grand Forks, International Falls, and Walhalla. Then throw in Canada, Alaska, the north pole, and maybe Iceland and that's the only places NDSU will allow us to recruit? Thanks Turd, I mean Herd. The broad moronic brush of NDSU fans is nauseating.
Al Gore and the Wright Brothers..........something to think about. (Al Gore invented the internet)
In spite of the MVFC being the strongest conference this year there is still something about the Big Sky that kids connect with.
-
UND has gone away. SDSU and UNI out recruit you in addition to NDSU.
In addition, the fact that UND plays in the big sky will continue to hurt them in recruiting.
Please tell us more. I guess we should drop football cause the king of idiots said UND has gone away. You don't honestly wonder why people chuckle when you post?

Dear Bison Faithful-
You speculate on recruiting classes their freshman year, the measurement of a recruiting class will always be right after the final game of a recruiting classes senior year. If NDSU had 100 full rides to give your fairy tale of eternal dominance of FCS could be augured. But, you don't. Limited scholarships limits the talent level.....you can't expect a kid to take a walk-on or half ride compared to a better offer at SDSU, UND, or UNI because 2 years prior SU smoked Delaware St. after College Gameday in Fargo. And some students may actually care about a college degree.......or does SU dominate with that, too. With limited scholarships, limited playing field opportunities, injuries, a kid simply not panning out, coaching changes, etc. on the variables it isn't possible to avoid adversity in a program. I don't care about the one recruit that took this over that and that means whatever.......NDSU has had an amazing run, maybe a little grace and humility could balance out the arrogance once in a while. Is that too much to ask?

I think we are at 3 signings today, 2 are public.....was hoping for more but let's look at where we are compared to last year.......we didn't even have a coach yet.
-
How do you even not discuss it? Even going by stats the 2 are virtually uncomparable. On an honest truth,. your defense has come along way this year and hopes to continue to get better, but its comparing palles to oranges on where the 2 programs are at right now defensively, whether you want to discuss just this year, or as a program identity altogether.
Cause I am clearly a Doctorate of football and you are in Pop Warner if you don't understand what I have already said about it......... So throw your stat sheets away and continue sipping on your soy based latte at Starbucks.
-
DO you think your defensive is comparable to NDSU's in effectiveness?
silly to even discuss- so many variables.......like SU had a ball control offense and UND was down to a 3rd string red shirt pulled freshman at QB with only 1 healthy RB.
-
I did not go into a "tizzy" about anything. I simple pointed out that we have 3 PO wins on the road, which is completely accurate. You guys are the ones who went into a "tizzy" over that statement and then moved the goalpost by saying it wasn't a "road game" because either we have more fans there and or it was a neutral site. Regardless of those two things, they are still "road wins"!! The fact that you guys can't except and understand that just demonstrates the envy and jealousness that exists here over NDSU football success.
IALTO: Shouldn't you guys be focusing on getting an FBS win instead of down playing ours?!?! LMAO!!
You know what's funny about the last two FBS wins we have had?! At each one (which were "road games" btw) there were more fans at each individual game then combined fans at the Alerus for each of your regular seasons the last two years.
So, don't be spouting off about or dissing our "road wins" when you can barely win at home!!
Jussayin'!!
Hilarious, just having a little fun with that one- knowing you couldn't handle it.
-
For as bad as NDSU's defense has looked (terrible), there still isn't a UND defensive player who would start for them.
Different schemes, different philosophies, different conference style of opponents dipsmack- I don't know how you would compare so it's a pretty silly comment.

Maybe a player or two not mentioned, also. If I were an RB and had the chance at 20+ carries a game......I'd be interested.
