jodcon Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Hopefully this is legit - and it sounds like it may be. He had another tweet asking Kotelnicki to call him (which I thought it was a dead period, but once you receive the LOI that is probably null). This made this class that much better!! EDIT: Oskie / Fritz - get on it If true it would be the 3rd last-minute decommit for UNI...something going on there? Quote
UND-1 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 If true it would be the 3rd last-minute decommit for UNI...something going on there? Yes. Their head coach is a tool. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Looking at his twitter, it appears Opara is a done deal. With that being said, the reasoning behind no announcement is strange to say the least. Perhaps there was simply a paperwork issue of some kind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ9f2Gg0Yg Whatever the details may be, he is a good football player and he could really help out our secondary.

choyt3 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Still no mention of Opara. http://m.undsports.com/mobile/ViewArticle.dbml?atclid=206199971&DB_MENU_ID=&SPSID=&SPID=6399&DB_OEM_ID=13500 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 congrats to all the coaches (especially coach luke by the looks of it) for putting in a lot of miles and hours to get this class put together....hopefully there a more than a few gamechangers in this recruiting class... congrats to southern university for being the only fcs school to grab an espn 300 player... anyone know what the crowd was like at the alerus?? from what i've heard it was pretty low....suggestion? how about actually having it on CAMPUS? ? the gorecki alumni center would be perfect for it...heck even have it at the union upstairs in the ballroom??

Gorecki would be the only place they could serve alcohol on campus. That is usually a consideration when planning any type event like this. Quote
GeauxSioux Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 From SFI this morning.... .RT @OSCAR_ISLAND21: Glad to say that I will be playing for the University of North Dakota next fall for football! Thanks all who've supported me! #FightinSioux Quote
Hambone Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 From SFI this morning.... Yeah, I saw that tweet from him this morning. Because of how strange it seems that his name hasn't been added to our recruiting class, I'm going to temper my enthusiasm until there is more difinitve word from UND. Very excited if true. Quote
Hambone Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 I see Ryan Stendler is now a two-star recruit on rivals. Didn't they have him as a "no-star" prospect before NIU came into the picture? It seems pretty lame to change a kid's grade this late. Also, regarding Stendler, I see NIU is bringing him in as a TE, along with two other TEs. But their site has him listed at 6-4, 250. I thought the last I heard was 6-2, 220. Would have fit the mold perfectly for what we're bringing in for DEs. Quote
Risky Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Did UND put out the schedule of radio spots Muss was going to do to talk about the team? UND mentioned it yesterday that they would let everyone know. Quote
choyt3 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Did UND put out the schedule of radio spots Muss was going to do to talk about the team? UND mentioned it yesterday that they would let everyone know. Speaking of radio, can he and his brother make a new Subway commercial? It's time to move on from the "Great West Conference Champions" angle. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Yesterday was signing *day* so fax early, fax late, no matter. Actually, this is a signing period. (I won't speculate for how long because I'll surely be corrected if I do.) If they got another DB (specifically CB) all the better. Quote

It's time to move on from the "Great West Conference Champions" angle. Uh, Muss and brother Muss commercials are stale no matter who they are for. Time to cut some new material. Seems they've called Zach Parise and he's cut a UND radio spot. Why not call Chris Kuper and ask him if he's willing to do the same. <-- See how I looped my diversion back to football. Quote

(I won't speculate for how long because I'll surely be corrected if I do.) If they got another DB (specifically CB) all the better. In the press conference yesterday, Mussman said they will be bringing in another LB "in the next week" as well. Quote
Hambone Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 In the press conference yesterday, Mussman said they will be bringing in another LB "in the next week" as well. Probably similar to how they brought in JD Allen a little late last year. Or the Brown's (Dwayne and Chris) the year before. Quote
darell1976 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I know ESPN has ranked their top 25 for recruiting class.....but does the FCS do this? I would like to know how our class stacks up to other FCS teams more importantly how we stack up against the Big Sky. Quote
homer Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Congrats to all the guys who signed their letters yesterday. Welcome to UND. Great article in the Herald. http://www.grandfork...icle/id/255890/ I like the part of Mussman talking about Dustin Iverson and that 9 kids out of the 12 that visited the same weekend as him committed and the role he played. “He stayed in touch with those guys on Twitter and Facebook. He’s got inner-city Chicago kids wanting to go out to western North Dakota and shoot coyotes.” Quote
Hambone Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 SFI has their doubts on the Opara signing - still nothing concrete. Quote
jodcon Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 SFI has their doubts on the Opara signing - still nothing concrete. Strange deal, he's been talking it on Twitter but nothing from the school...? Quote
Dagger Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Does that mean UND is hesitating? Maybe an academic situation. Quote
MoSiouxFan Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Last year or the year before I found a website that had a combined ranking of all Div. I recruiting classes (both FBS and FCS), but I don't remember the website. Anyone come across it this year yet? Quote
UNDBIZ Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 SFI has their doubts on the Opara signing - still nothing concrete. So is Opara pulling a Te'O on somebody or what is going on here? Quote
geaux_sioux Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 So is Opara pulling a Te'O on somebody or what is going on here? To me his tweet to kotelnicki to call him was a bit of a red flag.... Quote
UNDBIZ Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 To me his tweet to kotelnicki to call him was a bit of a red flag.... As in he's doing it for show?? Trying to get someone else to offer or what? I don't know much/anything about the kid..... is the problem academics or why are we thinking he's not actually coming to UND? Quote
