homer Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Does Breitbach recruit Minnesota? He recruits Montana and western ND as well doesn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think one of the main positions we should be looking for is a BIG RB! I'm confident that sparks will be a big factor next year. They do need another guy though because Varner will need another year to bulk up. Jake Miller to the slot next year? I wouldn't be opposed.

If Sparks can be a big factor next year, why was he completely ignored by the coaching staff this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If Sparks can be a big factor next year, why was he completely ignored by the coaching staff this season? Resume of a senior and two guys who had their shirts pulled. He'll earn his way into playing time next season after Jake and jer proved they can't be feature backs in the big sky unless they get to the second level untouched which is unrealistic.

geaux_sioux Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 We need to hit some home runs this year. A cornerstone db and lb would be nice. I'm starting to antsy for some commits, we haven't had any reported names in a while just a lot of chest bumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need guys all over the field that can break into the 10s and some guys around 10.5s. I like how dynamic and tenacious this guy plays. Can he tackle? Or maybe the heir to our Sr small wrs roles.

homer Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I've heard some good things about Layne Johs out of Bismarck High and his interest in UND. Out of all the kids from North Dakota he is the one I would really like to get. FU is also very heavily recruiting and has been talking $$$. Hopefully Layne follows the path of other recent BHS grads to Grand Forks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the foundation of the program and understand the history of the program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read an article online (which I can't find anymore) about a 3 star safety out of Illinois who is making a visit this weekend. Another position where playing time is wide open for a young kid going into next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Could be Jameer Thurman..... http://rivals.yahoo....2CDvtAqHfdIPZB4 I believe that is him. It was a rivals article that I somehow got access too. Talked about how his recruiting is really picking up and he's gotten calls from Kansas, Minnesota and Illinois but no offers from them yet. From the sounds of it he really likes our coaching staff and hopefully (if this is the weekend he is visiting) really likes the opportunities he will have here. He may get a Big10 offer before its all said and done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Watching the Broncos game last night and heaing the announcers talk about how Chris Kuper is the key to protecting Peyton Manning.

I would love to see a couple OL like Chris sign in this class who want to come get coached by a former NFL Olineman- Greg Lotysz Haha, I think every team in the country would like to get 2 all-american linemen in One class, not exactly realistic though. I wouldn't mind us going after some smaller and more mobile linemen. It doesn't matter how big you are if you are slow-footed. I would love to see us start pulling more guards in the run game, this is how the Broncos line has been for years in worked well. We have far to many slow-footed linemen at the moment and that is why our run game is struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthy kleason at guard with a developing Anderson with walker in the middle and you've got a supremely athletic interior. Mcgurran was good but slow as molasses same with gilson.

True, although I believe he's projected to play defense in college--either OLB or safety (according to the SFI tweet, anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Fan Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 A very good "get" - although he was first team AP All State RB, I would bet he will be playing defense for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
