Parkers Pros

We are starting to see more lineman with size and that’s great. We need to win in the trenches and I feel like we are making strides on both sides. It’s fun to be getting lineman with offers from Iowa State and Yale for instance.

Where is the follow on this guy? Anyone have any info??

Wow, crazy, so many memories, so many laws broken, so many laughs. Grew up a lot in the few years I was there. Some of my best friends 30 years later I had met in that building, wouldn't trade those memories for the world!! RIP Legend!!

I like Kraft. Local kid hard worker. Sneaky good! Would take it happily. Would love an athletic 6’9 (5) to protect the rim though!

Be a big……, Be a big……, Be a big……

Don’t think we are deep enough to lose ILB to the Portal?? Fertel to the portal!

Richard A. also in. So am I wrong to assume the DB room is fairly deep which is why we have seen 2 drop?

Here comes the Portal run.

OK, what in the name of all that is holy is going on with our former D-Coordinator becoming a DB coach for Saint Thomas????

Thanks for posting.

Where is this streaming?

31-35 SDSU at the half. Rebounding, fouls big story why UND trails. SDSU doing a good job keeping Kacie B in check.

Have always been a Berry guy. Still am. But this is the worst defensive execution team we have ever had. They are kids, so I truly hate to single out kids. They don’t wanna play this way. They don’t want to lose. They don’t wanna disappoint us. I really liked our game tonight on offense in many ways to be truthful. A lot of grit was showing on offense tonight. This is the worst defensive team, I’m not just talking defenseman, the worst defensive team we’ve had in the new Ralph era in my opinion. I believe (7), (15), (2) (3) have been accountable and consistent. But not great. Sidorski has been a great find. Too bad we didn’t have him another year. (25) can be great when he chooses to be. Too bad that’s not consistent enough right now. Some of our guys need to realize you can’t take the kinds of penalties we take. Either the severity of the penalty, like last night, or the timing like tonight. The rest have been very up-and-down. And most of them have been down more than up. I don’t envy the task. It’s hard. But we’re a team that very badly needs to find out its identity right now. We’re team without a true goalie. And that’s a scary thought. Back to Basics!!

Must be a busy host weekend? Saw a few recruits in town tonight!

Two points in 2 shifts…

Why the h$ll are they not starting Strinden for gods sake.one of our best players last night and you didn’t see him out there till he scored. Let’s go coaches, get it together!!

Stig’s been there 30, you tell me and they’ve been relevant only 5 yrs….

Hard to be patient with coaches but with time they too get better. Stig at SDSU has been there forever. When he was the coach during the D2 era UND owned them. They stuck with him. When they transitioned I was at a game, family are alums, I am very not, where they lost huge to a Div3 college out of Wisconsin. People were calling for his job. The School didn’t panic. They see he’s a good guy, good for the community, allowed him to learn the game and the recruiting it takes to win at this level in this division cause it’s quite a jump. And now they are challenging yearly for a championship. Bubba and staff are getting better. They have a relevant team in the most difficult division in FCS football. And they are doing it with a room full of kids who are not three stars or even very many two stars for that matter. They have to develop everything. There is room to grow sure, but I think we are slowly seeing them learn. And we are getting closer and closer each year to being able to challenge those last couple teams. As hard as it is in a want it now era, we can’t allow our pride to get in the way of progress.

Oh I agree. I think we may have some opportunity in February or after Spring ball to find a portal guy or two...

Great podcast per usual and felt they were right on with their assessment, which is the same as most of us have felt for a long time. That being said I think they attacked the portal and this signing class pretty well so far. Really like the fact that we hit the lines really hard. And I don't remember having this amount of bigs on both lines coming in. We get a 245lb middle backer that can run and and and a head-hunting strong safety and we will be in business on Defense. Offense did a great job building depth. Like the trajectory...

The portal can be great if it's the right kid, like Hoos. We need to strengthen the middle of the def. Our corners will look a whole lot better if we get more pressure on the QB. They have too much time. We are just not getting home from our OLB position like we are used to seeing. To me, a guy like Mcnabo should be an OLB, not a DE. Those are the types of guys we need on the OLB. I think he is getting bigger for D-line and he's had a very good season, but he could have stayed at 240-250, played OLB and be a beast. Our best defensive players in this type of defense need to be, NG, MLB, OLB, SS.

We are just pretty weak up the middle. I like our linebackers, but they are limited. Devin K has been excellent for his career but he is beat up and is a North/South backer only now. His partner is going to be a good one, but he’s young. our safeties just haven’t developed as well as we had hoped. Communication breakdowns have been evident, and that’s the responsibility of the safety to keep everyone lined up. It’s a really hard defense. But if they can get it figured out, it’s really hard to play against..

Denver is the real deal. Our defense looks horrible. We needed some guys to take a step on defense this year and am not seeing it. Where is our breakout?

Olivia Lane, Grand Canyon University?? What am I missing here..

I think Senden lost a year because of some transcript issue didn’t he?
