darell1976 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 From GF Herald article today : “We still have a couple of roster spots open,” said Schweigert. “And things can happen late these days. We’re always recruiting. We’re always going to try and make our team better by developing guys and bringing in new players.” Anyone know what spots are open??

darell1976 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 LT. Thanks. Hopefully he gets those filled. We need the running game to get going and you can't do that without the hogs up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambone Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Not yet confirmed, but SFI tweeted that this guy may be headed to UND: http://cjonline.com/...e-will-transfer He did tweet he is a member of the UND family, so assuming everything goes through he should be in.

forksandspoons Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This is pretty exciting to me! With this addition, a lot of people may underestimate our defense. An FBS transfer at corner, linebacker and defensive tackle should provide a lot of depth, experience, athleticism, competition, etc. Looks like Jenkins-Moore had offers from Arizona, ASU, Arkansas, KSU, Ole Miss, Oregon State, Purdue, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.

Yes, these guys have a chance to tear up FCS, but it won't happen just because they were FBS. Hopefully they buy in, work hard, study hard, etc. Exciting to see Bubba and staff getting these guys.

Matt Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Generally speaking, with transfers physical ability and athleticism is rarely a problem. As LetsGoSioux alludes to, if there's a problem it is with attitude, work ethic, and ability to pick up a new system. Let's hope it is a smooth road for them and they make the team better.

darell1976 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Anyone know how many FBS transfers Muss had his first year or all the years combined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmksioux Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 As it exciting as it's is to get FBS transfers, I'll reserve judgement until they play on the field. Isn't half the roster for Portland State comprised of FBS transfers? (I may be exaggerating a bit, but they seem to have quite a bit each year, and it hasn't worked out to well for them.)

They have loads of them. It's been working well for them too... I'd rather develop hardworking kids for 5 years and establish culture instead of hoping 2 year FBS transfers with minimal investment can be the backbone like at PSU.

forksandspoons Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This team needed guys that could play right away and I think that's what Bubba is doing. I'm willing to be this year will be the only year we see this many FBS transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 OLB Marcus Jenkins-Moore looks to be a quality addition. All 3 FBS defensive transfers will likely start and be immediate contributors this season. With that, and a defensive-minded coaching staff, the defense should be better in 2014.

Understandably, recruiting is key to success, especially in North Dakota given the lack of area DI schools in Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc. With that said, having a recruiting class with around 20 high school graduates and 3 FBS transfers is a great way to stay competitive immediately without rebuilding years. In the past, many FCS schools have been successful with FBS transfers if mixed correctly with high school recruits. EWU did it in 2010 when they won the NC and others have won playoff games doing it too. As the old adage goes, there's more than one way to skin a cat [win a championship].

homer Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sometimes they don't work out, other times they do. I would take another Braden Hansen in a minute. Everyone has a reason for being here. Either way, welcome to the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get 1-3 high quality transfers a year that would be about right for chemistry and culture purposes. This year is an outlier because of the lack of depth from the mass exodus that occurred. We needed to load up on transfers this year and we did. In the next couple years we'll most likely see fewer and fewer transfers as depth is built through hs recruiting.

Bidago Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 point well taken!! can you imagine what our squad might look like without some of these transfers?? I know that nobody has take a snap yet, but prospectively it could have been a lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas may be a 500 team in the MVFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
