UND1983 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 SFI is doing interviews with some coaches. LINK Schmidt said Ben Henson was moving to center and Shea Walker was going to nose guard. Quote
dcameron Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Schmidt said Ben Henson was moving to center and Shea Walker was going to nose guard. It is going to be very interesting to see the changes the new coaching staff makes. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 Schmidt said Ben Henson was moving to center and Shea Walker was going to nose guard. I had a feeling they would move Shea. We'll see how Hensen does. For me he's just never been a D1 athlete. Very smart and a hard worker but just not enough fast twitch fibers in his body. Also sounded like Schmidt was hinting at Shaugabay possibly getting some time at OLB. If he has the hips that could work. I also loved hearing how they are going to utilize Butler. Bout damn time. 1 Quote
Hambone Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 The Spring prospectus is out - seems that other than the expected guys gone that Kodee Varner is also no longer with the team. Only 4 CB's listed, including one who was a walkon punter last year. Need some help back there! Quote

Can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear a head coach with this type of attitude. Deffinitely lacking from the previous regime. In Bubba we trust!! 1 Quote

jdub27 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 The Spring prospectus is out - seems that other than the expected guys gone that Kodee Varner is also no longer with the team. That's interesting since only two weeks ago Baukol had him listed as having a top 5 40 time. Quote

Hopefully the defensive line/LB can get a lot of pressure on the QB that the CB's will be bored back there. Sack City baby!!!! Quote

Can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear a head coach with this type of attitude. Deffinitely lacking from the previous regime. In Bubba we trust!! Bubba also gave a good reminder for everyone that implementing a new offensive and defensive system will be a big challenge. This team would have its work cut out for them if they were returning to a system with responsibilities they were already familiar with, let alone learning new ones. I'll have to keep that in mind as I watch them this spring and fall camp. Quote

I'll have to keep that in mind as I watch them this spring and fall camp. One at least has to believe it will be a system that works. Offensively its time to run the football and go with boots and nakeds off of that to utilize the athleticism of Mollberg. None of this "throw the football the whole game" crap. Also, it will be nice to see us pressure a bit more because our secondary has been EXPOSED over the past few seasons. Quote

I think most here understand that big scheme changes do not happen overnight but I am very happy to see the ship pointed in the right direction! I am looking forward to seeing where the team is at this spring... 1 Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 Two big winners of the offseason that I can see from the prospectus. Dustin Iverson put on 25 lbs. He's now 6'3" 250 and athletic. Will Ratelle put on 15 lbs and was top 5 in the 40. Quote

Will Ratelle put on 15 lbs and was top 5 in the 40. And I'm sure both will be heavily utilized this upcoming season. Iverson with the 22/21 personnel sets and Ratelle's athleticism in bringing pressure. Quote

I just have a great feeling that the shackles with be stripped off of the LBs and they'll be making plays every game like the good old days Quote
sioux24/7 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Tom Miller @tommillergf 5m Couple quick notes: FR OL A.J. Stockwell won't play spring ball due to injury, FR DL Garrett Cary no longer with team due to injury Not exactly good news. Quote

Stockwell won't play spring ball due to injury, FR DL Garrett Cary no longer with team due to injury Not exactly good news. I don't think the Stockwell thing is a surprise, unless its something new. I thought he had surgery a while back. Hadn't heard anything about Cary though. Quote
homer Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Tough news about Cary. Really thought he could be a good player for us. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 As was hinted Shaugs will see time at LB this spring. He's got the perfect attitude for the position. Hopefully he's got the hips. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 Anyone going to brave the cold and check out practice this week? Quote
108498 Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 yes I plan to continue attending everyday. Last two practices have been real fun and alive. Quote
darell1976 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 How great will it be to not worry about a huge winter storm impacting spring practice once the IPF is built. 1 Quote
108498 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hoping for at least a small practice of some sort today. Quote
