Not sure if this is 2 separate recruits or if both tweets refer to Pifer.

Just beat me to it - this guy has the potential to be very good as well.  Had offers from UNC and Air Force.

Yeah- when I saw the "offensive weapon" tweet from UND FB recruiting i was hoping it was him so I checked out Griebel's twitter & he had just posted his commitment. He had quite a few other offers too & Montana State was at his house last week (I believe his brother plays or did play there). 

This is a big commitment.

What position?

Just now, F'n Hawks said:

What position?

All of them

[shep]

Whatever position requires someone fast who likes the end zone.

If offense he would be either RB or slot type guy.  Guessing RB.

Will Pifer play QB or WR?

Not unhappy; actually pleased ... however ... 

More for the offensive line, please. 

[AJS]

Griebel's highlights are spectacular, not only is he crazy quick, but his cuts are ridiculous.

Patience, my friend. They're coming.

This team also needs pure [D1] athleticism and they're getting it.

Great recruiting day! A lot of very talented future UND student-athletes!! 

Future is bright! I continue to like what Bubba and his staff are doing more and more! 

Go Fighting Hawks!

This is my favorite time of year. Recruiting season and Christmas. Would like to still be playing though.....

[PATRIOT]

Would appear the need for speed is being addressed this class...don't forget the Big Uglies!

I would say January if UND is playing for a national championship, but that's just me ... 

January 2018 could be a good one!

Patience takes too long.

Offensive linemen are the guys who allow the other players to show what they can do; without a top-tier offensive line you are stymied.

I asked this question earlier, but does anyone know the size of class we are looking at? There were only 14 Seniors on the roster (including Arnell / Georges), so you'd think this class would be on the smaller side. Right now there are 12 players committed, not including the 2 PWO's. How many more scholarships do they have to give?

I can count 6 WRs on the roster and the best they will be in their careers is 'average' at the FCS level, perennial top 10 team.  Why would we add #7?  I say give him a few years at QB and see what happens.  (being average at a top FCS school is really good, but if we are going to compete for natty's need some pretty special players)
