Popular Post UNDBIZ Posted January 29, 2014 Popular Post Posted January 29, 2014 Please don't come here and respond to every comment made about FU (Fargo Univeristy in case you don't know) we have enough trolls here doing that. Please don't come here with the purpose of reminding us how good the FU football team is - that's covered too. I can't believe you have so little to talk about over on Bizon - Swille that you need to come over here for intellectual conversation - well the intellectual part I can see. It gets tiring that every thread becomes a pissing match started by FU trolls. This is a UND fan thread we are going to post about UND, we are going to poke fun at FU - it's what we do here because we are UND fans. Huh, I thought his post was quite reasonable for a bison fan. 5 Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Anyone know anything more about late offeree Luke Elsner, DE from Wisc? Coming for a visit? Still in the mix? He came in for a visit a couple weeks ago. I saw I think Harmston tweeting at him wanting to talk football with him. Quote
Realguy21 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Hope you're right on this one. Given lack of offers, recruiters obviously see something I don't (speed?), but hard to imagine a down side to a 6'3", 235-pound running back who was good enough to put up big rushing numbers in the top class of Minnesota HS football. If he didn't work out at RB, seems there would be a lot of options on defense for this guy. Anyone know anything more about late offeree Luke Elsner, DE from Wisc? Coming for a visit? Still in the mix? i don't think the kids has good enough grades to get into school here unfortunately (Anthony Anderson) Quote
Hambone Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 He came in for a visit a couple weeks ago. I saw I think Harmston tweeting at him wanting to talk football with him. I was just going to post about Elsner. He's got some decent offers, but still hasn't committed so I wonder if UND has a decent shot at him. I know he was at Air Force last weekend, but I don't recall the other trips he's made. Quote
Hambone Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Huh, I thought his post was quite reasonable for a bison fan. Timmay has always been a good Bison poster. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 This is a UND fan thread we are going to post about UND, we are going to poke fun at FU - it's what we do here because we are UND fans. With all due respect, FU's back-to-back-to-back national championships speak louder than our poking fun at anything Bison-related. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 i don't think the kids has good enough grades to get into school here unfortunately (Anthony Anderson) If true, it doesn't hurt to stay in touch and hopefully he remembers when it's time to leave the JUCO. Quote
UND-1 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I was just going to post about Elsner. He's got some decent offers, but still hasn't committed so I wonder if UND has a decent shot at him. I know he was at Air Force last weekend, but I don't recall the other trips he's made. My sources are telling me he is visiting UTEP this weekend (no idea why) and then will be making his decision. We are in his final 3-4 and have a shot. How good of one, no idea. Kid is good. Also, about Ezra. UNI has had Bryce Paup (DL Coach - NFL player) recruiting him hard. At this point I feel like UNI is a bigger threat to us than NDSU. That may sound crazy but it is formulated from very good information. If UND can somehow, someway, get Ezra and Elsner. Wow! The defensive line just started to look the part. Quote

The defensive line just started to look the part. I'm assuming in the event we were to get both of them that at least one would not redshirt, as there would be 4 DEs in this class. And you do sound crazy about Ezra being a battle between UND and UNI But you never know..... Quote
CMSioux Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 It was a respectful and we'll thought out post, sometimes the truth hurts. Ezra has money on the line hear, good for him to make an educated decision on this. I am sure it can't be easy. Really - like we need to hear this over and over - even if it's true? ... from my perspective NDSU has won most of the recruiting battles with UND in the last few years ...Getting Ezra, even if it's a full ride offer compared to maybe a partial from the Bison, would be a great get for UND. 1. Personally even if it's true recently - do we really need FU fans posting this? Bring something constructive to the discussion 2. So FU fans need to comfort themselves by saying the only way UND could get a player that FU wants is that we offer a full-ride and they are only offering a partial (something they can't prove but need to feel is true). What gets me is the masquarade as a "just stopping by to chat" when the reality is they are here to say "Oh and by the way if you haven't heard lately FU is better than UND." Quote

Yah but do we really need them commenting on and refuting everything that is posted? I realize we can't stop it. But FU isn't on our schedule, they have moved on and "left us behind", they get every recruit they want, our conference is weak, we are a hockey school, we'll never catch up to them - we hear it all just about everyday from one of them - so what's the point of trolling here?

I agree most of them are awful, but Timmay didn't really refute anything that was being stated here. Things have got to turn around eventually in that department (recruiting battles) and I think your new staff will surely help. This guy is obviously the smartest bison fan there is and we should encourage that. Quote
Sioux68 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I imagine Ezra is still a long shot to come to UND. I am sure the last thing Bison fans thought they would have to be worrying about would be the possibility of losing a recruit to UND that had already committed to NDSU . Even though he probably will still go to SU, it is fun watching the Bison fans squirm. I don't think Bison fans are worried at all if you read Bisonville.. We've beaten them before but after losing battle after battle it would be nice to win one. Our biggest advantage besides more scholarships available is playing time. NDSU is stacked at D tackle and Ezra may not be the best at his positon in the current class. I don't think Ezra is a great fit in a 3-4 defense though. Either way I hope we get him. Quote

They are no more proven on the d line than we are. He'd actually be a great fit as a DE in the 3-4. Quote
Sioux68 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 They are no more proven on the d line than we are. He'd actually be a great fit as a DE in the 3-4. As a DE maybe. As a DT in a 3-4 no. He isn't the type of guy who absorbs blocks. UNI runs a 4-3 now too so don't count them out Quote
Risky Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 What is it with all the Bison fans on here trying to protect NDSU? You would think they would be on BV talking about their recruiting. 2 Quote
UND-1 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 As a DE maybe. As a DT in a 3-4 no. He isn't the type of guy who absorbs blocks. UNI runs a 4-3 now too so don't count them out DT and DE are the same thing in a 3-4. There are only two of them on the field. Quote

CMSioux Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 All are welcome, we come here to talk about UND. Usually when someone has to say "I'm not trolling" it's followed by something that could be taken as trolling. And cut the "gosh you sure are sensitive here" crap - glad to talk UND recruiting with anyone, not so interested in hearing "we win every recruiting battle" from another school ad nasium. 119 posts in 8 years not really that engaged in talking about UND.

CMSioux Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Back on topic - don't you love watching a big tight end catch one over the middle and turn it into something big. Name: LUKE FIEDLER School: Freedom High School – Orlando, FL (Coach Jeffrey Higgins) Vitals: Tight End (#34). 6’5″ – 215. - See more at: http://siouxfb.areav...h.7NnvZPQb.dpuf Quote
jdub27 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Back on topic - don't you love watching a big tight end catch one over the middle and turn it into something big. Like this? 1 Quote
darell1976 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Like this? That's what came to my mind. I am surprised Jim was never (or as far as I know) offered a position coaches job at UND. Quote
SIOUX29 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Fiedler's dad is from Minot. I believe his dad played golf for UND in his day. Quote
Hambone Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Not sure who he is exactly, but a gentleman by the name of Tank Harris out of Chicago looks like he may be going to UND. Has UND football as his twitter background. All Hail Tank @AllHailTank 54 mins Well I guess I got watt I wonted I will take my talents and higher my education at the University of North Dakota Quote
Hambone Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Real name Jonathan Harris. He is a center/defensive tackle. http://recruiting.sc...c=1&nid=7336847 http://www.hudl.com/...jonathan-harris Quote
