When I 1st heard safety I rewatched his hudl. It makes sense to me at 6'2", 202 lbs., 4.49 forty, 37" vert., pretty good bench and squat, this kid could be in the 2 deep at safety this year. Most of his highlights are at WR and RB in the wildcat.

I am not hating. There is some emotion involved in having Studsrud go down last year and then take a skid that derailed our season from the play-offs. Our QB position is a sensitive topic......... I have taken plenty of fire in the past, I should know. This season with Keaton starting as a Jr. Heidlebaugh as a RFr., and experience with Bartles if needed we're in a better position this year and that gives us the luxury of redshirting Bolinski. Opinions differ, but I think most are on board and willing to see what the kid has running the scout team this year. Good Luck to the kid!!

Show and recruiting class - If the 2016 class holds together it has way more potential than previous classes. From last year's class Hanson the LB and the OL guy, both from Canada, both studs, flaked before signing day. Then Merz was lost and the Grady Train derailed. And the RB from UAB was a bust. Still got a lot of production and potential going forward from last years class, but some heavy disappointments early.

I am not writing him off at QB before he steps on campus, though.

I heard we turned our chair 1st for Wentz, but he decided to go with Blake.

In the NFL, for the most part talent is even. Carson just had 2-5 years in which his O-line and D-line dominated games, most every game. An undeniable factor exists of what SU provided Carson vrs the NFL, which has a lack of one team dominating week in-and-out. All QBs in the NFL have games where they'll get knocked around or where their defense doesn't dominate the field position game. I am really indifferent as to his future success, but I am interested to see how it turns out. Good luck to the young man.

They do!! I read Harris dished out so many pancake blocks in High School they asked him to be a spokesman for IHOP. Cieslak has the size, too.

The Eagan kid looks most ready to play for incoming guys, followed by Edina and Muskego kid close 2nds, as possible shirts pulled, all others to redshirt. Anyway you slice it, O-Line is definitely TBD for next season.

Seems to me missing a burner in this class on offense. I see the depth issue on the O-line, too. I wonder if T. Harris or A. Ceislack could be potential O-line candidates as we are about 15 deep on the D-line.

I am thinking 1 of 2 things about QB - 1) Heildlebaugh is looking really good 2) We have our eye on someone, may or may not be Blount, that we are confident about. Randolph could do some major damage at the QB position running the ball, passing would have to improve. Bringing him in at Safety leads me to believe point 1 or 2 above.

And how is this situation similar to a recruit that knew he had 2 visits in back-to-back weekends and committed both times....??? For comparison purposes UND and SDSU are comparable, how does Army compare, well it is a different world. Army football in my opinion plays football for moral victories, their purpose is much greater and more noble than football.

You are right, looking like guard.

NG - one of the most important positions in a 3 - 4 defense, cause nose has 2 gaps responsibility, I recall T2 saying. Even if 6'7" doesn't get to the QB, good luck throwing over his big paw. I hope we land him.

Starting in the fall, 2016, full FCOA, for football and I believe all sports. One thing SDSU strategically needs to do is protect their 'turf' and Nebraska is in that footprint. This recruiting battle was going to be tough. Think about SDSU driving through Grand Forks to get a kid from Canada. That would be an up hill battle for them. I hope we just don't lie down and take it again........that's a bad strategy.

My 'soft' opinion is that for most their word and verbal commitment still matters and means something, but again, that's a 'soft' opinion. My hard opinion is that you shouldn't use the word 'soft' with commitment, that is an oxymoron.

For sure- Pinke will redshirt. Hopefully in 18 months from now he is about 250 with a little more boost.

Time to get the pajamas dusted off!!

Hard to say if we knew about this for a while or not, and were fortunate enough to land Hunt to solidify the corner position already. I hope to see either 1 more safety or corner for depth and competition.

Apparently you need to hijack another's teams 'saying' and hand signal, NDSU. Talons Down!! Well, at least it's original!!

How does home ice really affect the on the ice play anyway?? Home field in football, in the Fargo Dome is a huge deal. The offense can barely or not even audible, can't make line checks and most importantly the competitive advantage of knowing the snap count and getting off the ball is gone for the O lineman. UND needs to start earning home field in football, and we need the crowds to be big and loud.

I don't think it's a hockey basher, just questioning the moral compass of a person(s). To be 100% truthful.....I have a NDSU Club Hockey T-shirt that I wear sometimes. (sounds pretty stupid, huh?) I seriously have one, just for the irony of being a UND Football Fan.

I know, it is so pathetic!! The UND grads wearing SU stuff in Frisco......cutting the tags off their Bison gear on the drive down, that is a deal breaker for me, I don't associate with turncoats. The Concordia folks make me sick, too, I try to avoid them at all costs. (The die hard Concordia grad Bison band wagoners)

You left a bunch out, point 1- the players are prepared for big games, they seem bigger, faster, stronger. And I pointed out NDSU is ahead of the game, and I said it is not necessarily illegal. I said it crossed my mind as an objective view of any team doing something unprecedented. Thanks for your interest........leave your insecurities at Bisonville.

That was perspective on someone saying NDSU is a lot better than the rest and it's not even close..........it appears it was close in the regular season. Then, the playoffs were pretty much a joke, like just about every playoff run, so what's the reason?

On one hand, NDSU was a few plays away from being undefeated, on the other hand their regular season was a few plays away from being 7-4 (UNI and Youngstown regular season games). The more time they have to prepare and the bigger the game it seems like either 1) they have things down to a science on players peaking for the game or 2) they are doing something different with their players than the rest of college football, and I am not necessarily saying it's illegal, but the thought has crossed my mind. Another aspect is schematics.......doesn't seem earth shattering but they are very sound on O and especially D.
