I watch highlights of UND hockey during the season, watch a few games in GF, watch the playoffs, watch the guys drafted by the NHL, then UND watches them sit on their wallets........that's what I hear. Any truth to that and I am seriously just asking for some insider perspective.

Please share the story.....why wasn't he going to play next year? If we are going to worry about a wide out, it's RJ Whateverdowsky. Besides, just about every team in the Big Sky has better wideouts than SU. It's the players at all the other positions SU has that worries us.

Since Adidas doesn't make helmets I don't think they care too much. Or, maybe Bubba is working with Gerrel's on helmets.

We have issues with Faison if everyone wants to state the obvious. I know he isn't the guy to lead UND. With Bubba and the alumni base we will strive for success in football regardless of the administration. I like how things are progressing and if we do pull this thing together we'll have to get the checkbook out and keep the coaching staff together. So sucking has it challenges, but success brings about it's own set of challenges and we need leadership. We can't F up the AD hire again. Faison will be done in a couple years.

Adidas and UND are in a little pissing match about contract language but the head-to-toe is basically a done deal. Uniforms will be a little different, Kelly green jersey and pants and white jersey and pants. (Kelly green pants??). Helmets are not part of the deal this year as far as I know. Next year, UND gets a third uniform and at that time I think the alums will step up for a throwback helmet. The uniforms are the shock web....the best Adidas makes.

These teams out of the FCS made the SU run possible and is making a mess out of FBS.

Agreed.

Get lost-

Go stroke yourself on a different site.

You said it, a whistle blow and a magic squib kick.......either one sends SU home crying. It is so sickening-

Yes, the Concordia alums are all there.....blowing up my wife's facebook. Not to mention the gals that don't know who SU is playing. It's best to not even look for about a week until the Frisco photos dry up, hopefully with a Red Bird victory. And I hope they get freezing rain during the game.

still finalizing the agreement I guess......info is a little premature

Ya, it's a head-to-toe contract, that's the terminology they used.

That's why I have an Illinois State t-shirt primed and ready for the Sioux Hockey game tomorrow. I know my buddy will be sporting a ISU shirt, too. #real fans-

Home and away 'traditional' look for this year, with an alternate uniform the following year is the deal. From what I know Bubba prefers a throw-back gray look over the black jersey. Glad the info has come out-

Schmitty- Might hear something tonight good......or maybe heartbreak city. A PWO offer at Oregon is impressive, but I bet the student loans and cost of tuition would be 'impressive', too.

Yes, needs some strength, but he plays stronger than his numbers. I assume he gets a workout program this summer and will likely redshirt, so maybe a late bloomer, with 20 months to figure it out. A quick strength story......Phil Hanson and a few others while in college spoke to my high school team. Phil confessed to only benching 185 heading into SU as a freshman.

Ya, Phil was in high 4.3's his junior year....did get a little slower his senior year. We have another coach driving to Michigan right now....I hope whoever is worth the drive.

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.

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.

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........

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.

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.
