BigGame Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 By far my favorite thing about him on film is his build. He's nice a lean. We've had a few too many guys with less than desirable body densities on our OL. Aka fat weak and slow. Disagree with the body type thing because I have seen way to many guys that "Look like Tarzan, play like Jane" to buy into the body type argument. I have also watched a lot of fat bodies kick ass on the field. I am more concerned with movement, power (not strength) and attitude or aggressiveness. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Any good news to report to us? Based on a few of his tweets picked up by SFI it seems like Chris Carter likes UND..... Hope we can land him as he looks like a great get. Quote

I have also watched a lot of fat bodies kick ass on the field. I am more concerned with movement, power (not strength) and attitude or aggressiveness. That's why I said fat weak and slow. I had a few teammates that were just plain fat athletes. Looked like garbage but had the feet of a ballerina and were monsters on the field. I'm saying those fat weak and slow guys weren't dedicated. You can't change your body type but it's not like every lineman has to be fat. The bottom line is they are tough smart good players. If you look at Stockwell Miller and Bell they are all lean athletic linemen with a serious mean streak. We need more of that. Quote
UND Fan Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 Offeree LB Zach Hovey is going to Miami (OH). Quote

PrideOfTheNorth Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I've got my no fly zone sign ready. Nice Quote
Got Em Coach Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Based on a few of his tweets picked up by SFI it seems like Chris Carter likes UND..... Hope we can land him as he looks like a great get. not yet . But I got y'all ! Quote
Got Em Coach Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Quoted wrong one but ill have news soon 2 Quote
Risky Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 If we could land Carter, I think it would be huge. Quote
Hambone Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 If we could land Carter, I think it would be huge. Hopefully he and Brandon Walker became close and he's in his ear trying to get him to UND Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Nice Not actually I just want good secondary play. We need sack city to actually exist again before making another sign. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I really hope that we land Chris Carter but I am just curious why all the hype? He has an offer from Butler but no other known offers. Obviously we have had other players with little or no offers that have turned out but I am just wondering. Looks solid on his hudl film though. Edit: Nevermind I see that he has offers from BUTLER, VALPO, KENT STATE, BOWLING GREEN and BUFFALO Quote

sioux24/7 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I don't think your right about those offers. Wrong guy maybe. It was according to this website http://risingstarsrecruiting.com/rsr-top-prospects-2014.html#sthash.Wa4c8h9M.dpbs he is ranked #36. Obviously I don't know how reliable this website is but that is just what I found. Quote

Got Em Coach - does he have all these offers? Quote

sioux24/7 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I would love to land Carter and Alec Kocour to help the defensive backs. Probably more of a stretch to land Kocour though. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Why would Kocour be unreasonable. We have a lot of success in that area. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Why would Kocour be unreasonable. We have a lot of success in that area. He has a lot of offers out there. He just visited Minnesota although I am not sure if there is any offer there. Just my feelings. Quote
UNDColorado Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I know we need to land some of the said names above to truly round out this years class but I have to say how impressed I am with the new staff and the work Freund did through the uncertainty. I am thrilled to see all of this activity and I know it will pay off. Go Sioux! Quote
Sioux68 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Really? Cuz when the news of Bohl leaving leaked that place went bonkers. I do care what Bisonville thinks to a point. They assume they'll get every recruit they want and that we're an afterthought. Actually flipping a committed recruit would be a nice serving of humble pie and would be a big step in swaying the perception of the two schools from a recruiting standpoint. Of course the place went bonkers. There were rumors that he was leaving with the entire staff in the middle of a playoff run. How would we react if Haskol left at the start of the Frozen 4? In reality the coaches stuck around and it didn't phase them. But how did they respond? They won the whole thing again, put together an impressive coaching staff with Bison roots, and are keeping all the same systems in place. I think they lost a few recruits but they have nearly 20 verbals right now with some great players and are closing things out with the few spots they have left. I would love to snag Ezra but lets face it, it's not going to change much at all just like getting Mollberg didn't change the course of either team. There are plenty of players out there. By parading a few victories here and there we just look like idiots. We're not even in the same league as FU right now and until we accept that and win a meaningful game we need to show some class 1 Quote
Sioux68 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Why would Kocour be unreasonable. We have a lot of success in that area. The kid has a dozen FCS offers. From what I've heard he has his mind set on going to a B1G school. Gophers are high on him but I think he really wants to be a Badger. Quote
Westside Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Along with his talent, I would guess that some of the hype for Carter is the position he plays... CB is a dire need for us. After graduation & transfers, I don't even know who we could trot out on the field at CB right now?? Chris Brown is the only CB remaining that I see on the roster, unless Ivery plays CB & the new Juco does. We need a lot of help at this position. As for Carter, kid has great film, is a heck of a talent & looks the part. Saw him at the bball game, while many HS recruits & incoming freshman look like exactly what they are - HS kids, he looks like a college football player already. He's a solid 190 lbs when we've had CBs playing at an overmatched 165 lbs the past few years. I'm no college football coach but it seems most on here & the SFI blog are impressed w/ his film. I have the utmost trust in Bubba & Schmidt to evaluate defensive players. If he signs, he could definitely come in & compete for a starting spot. Quote
