RT @JUCOFFrenzy (College of Siskiyous)JUCO DB Michael Everett was offered by North Dakota and Bethune Cookman yesterday

New offer per SFI....

I know it is a highlight film, but I really like how he squares up and takes on running backs, looks like he has no issues tackling.  Also seems to be good at going up and getting the ball rather than letting it come down.  Someone with a little more technical knowledge can probably offer a better assessment on his coverage skills.

[Hambone]

Javon Tillman committed to SE Louisiana. Also sounds like Bryson McCabe is likely heading to Montana State.

[UND Fan]

Offeree S Afolabi Laguda is headed to CO.

[Westside]

Based on twitter, Juco S Zach Arnell did sign his NLI to UND today.

[UND92,96]

McCabe is signing with Montana St.

[BigGame]

McCabe is signing with Montana St.

That sucks, but they do need a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball.

I think we are at 3 signings today, 2 are public.....was hoping for more but let's look at where we are compared to last year.......we didn't even have a coach yet.

I am torn on JUCO transfers, I know we need a couple but they never really pan out.

[Feff]

So what's the word on these supposed FBS transfers we're supposed to be getting? When do we find out more? 

[gfhockey]

Only two more in the works I know of

Ones iffy tho

Transfers don't excite me at all.   I'd rather get them out of high school and besides, it certainly hasn't been working out for the basketball team.   Bubba has free reign on rebuilding over a couple years, do it right.

[gfhockey]

How's tillman and Hanson work out?

Simmons was starting to produce ti he got hurt

I think we need to bring in a couple transfers for a number of reasons-

1. if the opportunity for immediate help is there, you go after it.  The previous staff did a poor job recruiting at the safety and OL positions and we don't have the depth we need to compete there next season.  I have no problem bringing in a 20 year old instead of a 18 year old to attempt to help fill those positions.
2. We need to space out scholorships.  We can't make a habbit of bringing in the max of 30 new bodies every year and can't have two classes in a row that have 30 freshmen in them.
3. I know this staff will not make a habbit out of this and are doing what they feel they need to do now to stay competitive next season.  This staff knows that player development needs to be the number one improvement from the prior staff.

Hinojosa is no slouch either.  I've been quite happy with most of the FBS transfers, JUCOs seem to have been more misses than hits though.  (EDIT: I guess technically Hinojosa was kind of both an FBS and a JUCO transfer, regardless, he's been a welcome addition to the team)

This is exactly right. In fact I think we need atleast one more Juco/transfer OL and I'd welcome two more. We need depth there. To right this ship unconventional things need to be done. I'm glad our coaching staff recognizes that.

[UNDBIZ]

We have a verbal from FBS WR Clive Georges (U of Arizona), when do FBS transfers sign?  Or do they even sign?

Agreed.  We were lucky to avoid multiple major injuries on the OL, as there wasn't much depth there yet.

we need a RB to come in this next semester desperately IMO. maybe another WR too..

And I did verify that 2 of these signings count against last years numbers.  So, we still have spots open for 29 more players......might help a little.

I imagine this staff will have to fill each one of them.  I was wondering about that and thanks for the update.

That could be big help.
