I thought SDSU was only doing FCOA for BB, or am I wrong? Whatever it was it mustn't have been enough. Distance plus base scholly were most likely key.

geaux_sioux Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Kinda sucks but that was kind of the point of his soft verbal. He's a good player but has nowhere near the potential of our other TE commit who is also a ND native. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've read/heard is that SDSU will be offering fcoa for football starting in '17. I have no idea what was offered by either school, but perhaps SDSU sold him on that he would be getting fcoa in years 2 - 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkster Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Kinda sucks to keep losing kids, but I've got a feeling we've probably got a few sleepers that aren't being talked about, hoping they slide under the radar until signing day. And signing day can't get here soon enough. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't lose any more, this had been shaping up to be a good class.

Didn't even realize about the ND one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll put up some nice numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did really like that Cloyd is a stud wrestler though.... oh well, have fun in Brookings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're correct, I really don't know much a out Pinke, I just remember I saw quite a bit of Cloyd's Hudl tape. Hopefully Bubba has another recruit in place to take this guys spot. It would be nice to keep some of this offensive tools though. However, I think we'll still be find. Getting the "right" players, who can buy into Bubba's system is just as important as finding elite talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, you never know what Pinke can turn into with 30 lbs. of muscle on that frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Pinke won't be able to do that; just that I was impressed with Cloyd. Also, not sure what the difference was in the competition they were playing on their highlight videos. Anyway, lets go Pinke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurts because the offensive line, corner, and TE positions need depth, bad. A pig with lipstick on is still a pig. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a soft verbal from the beginning, can't be suprised if he changes his mind after being non committal. Losing Grady is huge because of his awesome potential and because he actually was on the team. We can't get too caught up in kids who don't want to come here because they don't matter. We need 90+ guys who are 100% committed to UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbals mean absolute squat! My 'soft' opinion is that for most their word and verbal commitment still matters and means something, but again, that's a 'soft' opinion. My hard opinion is that you shouldn't use the word 'soft' with commitment, that is an oxymoron. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
