Edina_Sioux Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Who are the 5 players we can actually get and NEED the most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreNorthDakota Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Way too early to pick out realistic possibilities. At this level there's too much reliance on whether or not the big boys come calling. Hopefully we're in touch early and often with a lot of guys so we're top of mind if the big offers don't come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 tough to say who can 'can get' at this point since the summer is long and filled with camps and potential offers and none of these guys have played their senior seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edina_Sioux Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Agree on that. What do people think are the most key (1,2,3)positions that need to be filled in the 2014 class, OL, DL, LB, WR, RB, DB or QB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edina_Sioux Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Does anyone happen to know the scholarship matrix for the current roster? I guess it would be nice to know where the current scholarships sit. Do we know who the walk-ons are and who has a scholarship? I found this on the gopherhole: http://robb.dominodeveloper.net/members/robb/gopherroster.nsf/rosterFB That would help know what is going to be available at the end of this season so we can focus on the depth of this class. I agree that there needs to be more depth added on defense. I am also pretty sure they can't recruit just one side of the ball for two years.

I agree that there needs to be more depth added on defense. I am also pretty sure they can't recruit just one side of the ball for two years. I think this would be a lot tougher to decipher for FCS teams due to how scholarships are allowed to be split. FBS teams have 85 scholarships and are allowed to give partial's, but it will still count as a whole scholarship towards their total of 85 (so no real point in giving partials). FCS teams are allowed 63 scholarships and are allowed to give partials, with a max of 85 student-athletes receiving scholarships. The overall limit is that no more than 95 players can participate in practice prior to the school's first day of classes or first game, whichever comes first. After that date, the participation limitation is removed. So if your 63 scholarships are spread among the max of 85 players, you can have no more than 10 walk-ons at the beginning of fall camp, though the number could be more if scholarships are spread among the max of 85.

Edina_Sioux Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 It would be great if someone had a depth chart they could post and I bet we could figure out who's got $ and the walk-ons, etc. I'm guessing it would also "out" some dead weight on the roster too. The Jr and Sr that don't see the field but are holding $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those players will have been cut but it'll give you what you need if you add the recruiting class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jr and Sr that don't see the field but are holding $. I think you'd be able to have a pretty good idea of who is getting some scholarship money and who isn't but the tough part would be knowing who has partials and how much of a partial they are getting (1/4, 1/2, 3/4's, etc).

What makes this whole endeavor impossible is that some in state players won't require a full scholarship and neither will kids who have also earned academic scholarships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreNorthDakota Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think this one is taken care of for sure. Can't have that mentality no matter how good or deep a position group is. We'll lose Hardin and Townsend after next year and who knows if we lose someone due to unforeseen circumstances. Ignoring a position group is an easy way to go from a position of strength to a weakness in a hurry. I'd be worried if there isn't at least one receiver in the next class.

Teeder11 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 McGill's been moved to DB. Interesting. That surprises me given the big learning curve that tends to come with learning technique, footwork and other mechanics that are unique to secondary positions. Being this is his last year, he'll have to be a really quick study or be content with a special teams and/or reserve role. It made more sense to me when they moved Ivery to the secondary as he had more time ahead of him to learn the position. He's talented and quick, I will give McGill that.

FSSD Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 McGill's been moved to DB. Are thinking Ivery? McGill is coming back from knee injury and missed about half the season last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 McGill's been moved to DB. You're thinking Ivery. Unless it literally just happened. He's not the DB type and is too valuable at WR for him to switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreNorthDakota Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 You're thinking Ivery. Unless it literally just happened. He's not the DB type and is too valuable at WR for him to switch. Yup, my bad. Meant Ivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yup, my bad. Meant Ivery. I think Ivery can actually make a nice CB. He has great length and hands which are helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreNorthDakota Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think Ivery can actually make a nice CB. He has great length and hands which are helpful. I agree. He's a talented kid and hopefully the move gives him a chance to make an impact as opposed to being buried on the WR depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
