Four major positions of need (in no particular order); that is, need FBS/JUCO transfers:

RB, WR, OL, DB

RB - lose Jer Garman and Adam Shauabay. Left with Cedric Simmons (coming off injury but has potential) and converted LB Kyle Norberg. Patrick Sharp also in the mix. UND NEEDS a couple talented, physical backs; necessity givin how the defense is capable of playing solid.

WR- lose RJ McGill and have very few returning big contributors. Both Josh Seibel and Brandon Walker have potential, but NEED a couple big, fast FBS-type talents to throw the ball up to.

OL- considering the intention to win the line of scrimmage, need depth and skill at this position. FBS transfer would again be nice. Lose 2 starters from last year's line: LT Barton and RG Henson.

DB - lose 2 senior starters in S Carr and CB Tilman, who happens to be the perfect example of how FBS talent can make immediate contributions. Tilman came in and immediately upgraded not only the covering ability of the secondary, but also the tackling ability of the secondary and the return game. What a move his addition was. Look for at least 3 transfers to this position group.

QB, FB/TE, DL and LB are all less immediate of needs due to returners. With that said, still need to develop these positions with high school recruits. Looks like these positions are already being addressed as I look at the list of 2015 verbal commits.

 

 

Not sure how alot of the Juco Transfer process works, or who they have a shot at getting, but the running back from Eden Prairie last year went to Iowa Western and that kid has some size. (Anthony Anderson). Again, not sure if that is a kid that has a shot at FCS or FBS, but I remember watching him tear it up for EP.

Sioux football insider only lists 11 recruits.  Missing Merz.  Is he still committed?

 

Based on the replies to the tweet, it appears SFI just missed him.  We're at 12.

do we know if we have any guys defecting?

 

We don't know of any as of yet, but I would strongly suspect that there will be some--particularly among Mussman recruits who didn't play much this past season.

It appears NG Leonard Wright from Ellsworth (IA) CC will be visiting UND this weekend.

 

SFI is estimating 12-14 recruits will be on campus. Looks like the weather will cooperate, with no snow predicted and highs in the mid to upper 20's--better than it's been lately.

UND offered Moorhead RB Jade Lawrence.

I saw him play a couple games this season. He is a heck of a football player. Tough to pick a position but I would think safety. Tough kid who does not avoid contact.

Jade Lawrence is a player, and the type of kid Bubba needs more of. Tough hard nose football player. Get him in the program and worry about position later. RB, FB, S, or LB.

Heck ya. How big is he......I didn't see a height and weight or 40 time or anything.

Grady Higgins just picked up another offer this one from Montana State.  Looks like he would be a good get.

 

Higgins was offered by Idaho today.
