    In 2022 he was a 200lb freshman so he’s getting there it seems. Hope the new S&C coach can really help take him to another level! 

    He is the perfect size for OLB if he stays there size wise and can run.

    How about Michigan is very talented and Skilled and played with a desire to win?

    Not sugarcoating the UND play but...

    Michigan is good.

    They are good. They clogged the middle and obviously watched the Omaha games a few times cause that 3rd period gave me Omaha flashbacks. No open ice, clogging up the middle, beat us to every puck, played our game back at us and we can’t / didn’t handle it well.

  3. Feel like we are too soft. Nobody on offense showed up but Johannes,  Gabe’s, 1.5 periods, Blake, wish we had Johannes another year. Kunz a little at the end. Nothing from Anyone else.  We are not hungry enough. 
     

    In general, I thought most of our d-men played ok. Person unfortunately will be hating himself for his skate own goal but thought that was his best game of the year. Our young D held up pretty well considering. We need to find somebody who can win a face off.

    Is Berry on the hot seat?

    I am worried about her. She was not making a very good impression at the Summit game from a spectator perspective. She really needs to figure her world out fast cause this kind of dramatic fall can be detrimental to a program for years..

    Good point - if he has a crazy year next year, he could really set himself up well. Jumping ship too early could limit how much $ he gets in the portal. 

    I think BJ is a great talent. But he got worked hard by Fidler. I think another year of development would be great for him...

    That's my first thought...

    One of my biggest frustrations with this defense has been trying to plug poor-fitting body types into it.  If we are going to recruit 250-260 lb DEs and 275 lb DTs...we probably should be playing a 4-3 base.  I know a lot of what we do is nickel now due to spread offenses and what not...but the 3-4 in my opinion is highly dependent on your 3 guys up front being able to eat blockers, command double teams and get penetration into the backfield.  We've lacked that the last few years...and it really hurts us in my opinion...

    100% correct.  Nose Tackle is the tip of the spear. The more offensive lineman the 3 down lineman occupy, the more plays the linebackers make!

    James is gonna be a top 6 NHLer

    This might date me but I remember well when Matt Frattin was a younger player like DJ and I see some parallels between their trajectories.  Obviously this was prior to Frattin getting kicked off the team. Frattin was creating a ton of opportunities for himself, he was faster to the puck than most and the more his confidence grew the more opportunities there were. He just couldn’t put the puck in the net consistently. He missed more open nets, and hit more posts than anyone. In our little Monday morning quarterback, discussion group back then, we talked about how close he was and if he could just start hitting some of those corners and slowed the game down one more millisecond and started potting some of those misses, oh boy what would he become. I’m very excited about DJ. Because I think he could be better. He has intangibles that could make him very special. Maybe not today, but fingers crossed.

    were 2 hrs away from a major metro area.....should we be selling our proximity to winnipeg to recruits

    drinking age is 18 iirc

    Worked for me...

    Not an important argument, I'm genuinely curious why having Sioux Falls being 58 miles away from campus has any benefit to SDSU for recruiting student athletes. 

    Stuff to do cause there isn't much to do in Brookings besides SDSU stuff and Nicks burgers, maybe hunting and fishing.  Families being able to fly into somewhere easily so they can see their kids and no direct flights into Brookings, this is a huge deal for families.  SF is over 200,000 people. Brookings about 20,000. Both SDSU and USD use SF as a recruiting tool...

    That's a wild statement. Everything up to the geography of the matter, I do agree. 

    Meant Sioux Falls is less than an hr away from Brookings and they are a metro compared to GF...

     

  12. SDSU is the playbook for FCS teams where football isn’t king. SDSU is, until the last 10 years or so, been a basketball centric university like UND is hockey.  They did all the right moves. Left D2 when SU left. Secured funds from donors and fund raised for probably the nicest overall facilities in the Missouri Valley. They slowly and methodically got better, and better, continuing to add resources in strength and conditioning, nutrition, better position coaches.  We didn’t move. Our facilities are getting better to be sure and like where they are going, but we are 10-15 years behind.  Geographically they are in a better place for families to come and watch their kids. Recruiting wise it’s close enough to a big town for kids to get on board with wanting to go to Brookings. You got a really want to want to play in Grand Forks. For us to win the way everyone wants us to win, we have to hands-down have the best of everything. And I don’t think the university, nor even the people on this board are willing to pony up and invest to do what it would take IMO. I think UND football will always have one hand behind its back unless the university and fan base/donors truly commit. And I think that’s why Danny left. He might be the only one truly playing chess.

  13. You can tell by the tone of Bubbas response to the news he is pi$$&d about it. No thanking Danny or wishing him well. Why am I feeling like this isn’t necessarily the worst thing I mean our offense wasn’t exactly lighting it up for much of the season. And I couldn’t tell if that was the quarterback or the OC. But we didn’t push the ball  downfield. If we make a good hire, this could be alright for us, again, if we get the right guy.

    I’m sure there’s been shorter commitments but this one has to be up there. Just don’t get why they commit other than for leverage? 

    No silver linings here, with exception to the fact that at least he didn’t dump us for another FCS program…
