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.
-
Bingo!!!! We have a winner!!
So 2 Bison faithful agreeing makes a statement true......good one.
Shouldn't you guys be focusing on scheduling SMU next year for another premium FBS win? (SMU finished ranked 128 out of 128 teams, has to be an attractive option) (Iowa St. finished 116)

That video of him breaking his leg was crazy! It still makes me shudder just thinking about it.
He was definitely a good one.
That was a tough 'break' losing him for the playoffs that year-
-
Thanks for the clarification, makes me wonder why we haven't been able to find better CB's then. Also Kuksa was a true freshman, such a sad loss.
You are right, they started working Kuksa in real early and his ability was worth the risk, and usually 1 safety can 'carry' the other somewhat in making the calls and checks. We totally blanked for 2-3 years of recruiting in safety and corner talent and we are still trying to recover from that. If Cam didn't get hurt.........ugh. The corners have been bad for a while now and Tillman helped bridge a gap for Harris and Carter, and maybe another guy steps up next year, too. We had recent corners at 155 - 170 lbs that were not overly fast, and that doesn't work. We should be OK without a JUCO or FBS corner for next year but we will bring one in if he is good enough to start. Coaches are big on Harris at corner for next year, and obviously Reyes at safety.
-
Yet two of our most impressive young players in the last few years were both playing safety, still wonder how it could be if Cam could have played this year. I understand your point on coverages, but Tillman is a poor example as he was playing a good amount at an established FBS program and was a 5th year senior. We have had terrible CB play for years and this year was average at best. Linebackers can call out coverage just as well as safeties could if needed to.
Both of those safeties were in the program and redshirted I believe. The defense was brand new to Tillman, but he knew how to play football. Tillman simply checked with the safeties and did what he was suppose to do. Cornerback isn't complicated. The linebackers call the front 7, and have no part in calling what the secondary runs. That said, if the backers and safeties are not on the same page things can get ugly.
-
Thanks Gundy
You bet, sorry for the short version. Maybe I can get Howe from SFI to go into detail after a few safety signings on Wednesday. I am sure most know this but Howe was one of the best we have had at safety, late 90's.
-
I would argue the exact opposite, especially at the FCS level.
Safeties call the coverages and make the checks, it isn't even debatable. The defense we run can be tough to learn. Tillman played day 1 and it took Blackmon, I think, until game 7 to get considerable playing time......that is the difference.
-
When do recruits sign? Is it February?
JUCOs can sign Wednesday I believe.
-
Is there a chance the other safety is McCabe?
I didn't dig too deep on names. The safety position is just crucial to get into the system early. As opposed to corners.....we could bring in a corner 2 weeks before the season and be OK with schematics.
-
You should--I agree completely, but you also should expect a retort occasionally, if not more, and be able to handle it.
Thanks for your concern- I will check in with my anger management sponsor on how to handle Bison fans on a UND forum. (in color for sarcasm)
-
No weiner syndrome here like you apparently have with NDSU. Each of your posts that I quoted contain backhanded compliments. I was simply pointing them out. If you can't handle that, then I would suggest not doing it.
And how is it that you are "still trying to figure out who the best conference is this year" when the MVFC has two teams (of 4 btw) in the Semi's and every computer model you look at has the MVFC waaaay ahead of any other FCS conference. And, if you don't like computer models, then look at the NCAA selection commitee choosing 5 MVFC teams, all of whom won at least one game and 2 of which were eliminated by another MVFC team.
And on a UND forum I put in my time to say whatever the frick I want-

wow- I have said the MVFC is the best conference all year. It's when you guys say it 500 times on a UND form that the sarcasm breaks out. Get it??

Hey, D8ckhead, try losing only 1 or no regular season games (see NDSU the last 3 regular seasons) and see what kind of seed you get in the FCS playoffs.
Hey tough guy, I said it was a compliment to your program and I've acknowledged the MVFC all year. So what's up with the little weiner syndrome?

Thankful for home games? Christ they earned them. And you ask me the shape of the earth? Yes Illinois St has been very impressive. If both make it to the ship I would favor them.
Did I say they didn't earn it? They just really benefit from the reality of FCS football, home play-off games, oodles of them. And if the NCAA has a close decision to make the fan base and ticket sales will surely sway them the Turd's way. It's a compliment to your program, but still trying to figure what's the best conference this year.......
-
That's the matchup everyone wants to see and proof that the Valley is the toughest conference in the FCS and it isn't even close.
What a great observation - How about the shape of the earth, what's the latest on that?
I am far more impressed with Illinois St. than the 'turd'. The 'turd' should be thankful for all the home games......just how many road playoff games have the Bison won in this stretch? I believe it's zero.
-
I expect about 5 signings on Wednesday with a couple safeties from the JUCO ranks.........just guessing. So far so good is the word on this recruiting class thus far.
-
And another Safety gets an offer... Looks like Baker is from the now defunct UAB program...

I think that means we only have 1 top level safety on our roster right now, and that doesn't work very well over an entire season.

My folks wouldn't even let me talk to NDSU......Rocky was crashing and burning at that time.
