UNDBIZ Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 On 12/20/2016 at 11:28 AM, UNDBIZ said: Just looking at prior year recruiting class OLs: 2013 - 5 recruits - Bell, Stockwell, Cox, Adams, Williams, Miller 2014 - 5 recruits - Francis, Stiner, Taylor, Aplin, Beck 2015 - 5 recruits - Grady, Rooney, Merz, Camy, Blair 2016 - 7 recruits - Mortel (RS), Helgren (RS), Hunt(RS), Tobin(RS), Nguon(RS), Russo(RS), Coe 2017 - 12 recruits so far - Kruse and now Prine Lots of turnover. Need to start hitting the mark more often here. Unless the 2016 class is an anomaly, we can expect to lose around half of them in the next year or 2. 40 minutes ago, Ozzie82 said: I see a lot of folks disappointed that we have so few commitments from OLs. I'm not sure they are as big of a priority as others do because of the numbers we already have in the program. As it currently stands UND has the following players for next season: Senior: Miller, Cox, Bell, Stockwell Junior: Aplin, Stiner, Taylor Sophomore: Rooney, Blair Redshirt Freshmen: Tobin, Hunt, Nguon, Russo, Helgren, Mortel Freshmen: Prine, Kruse That's a total of 17 players. I randomly looked at some other top FCS programs. This is how many OLs they have on the roster: YSU: 15 NDSU: 20 Eastern Washington: 14 SDSU: 15 James Madison: 17 We certainly don't want to turn down someone who Coach Knopf really wants, but as it stands we have healthy OL numbers compared to the other programs I looked at.

Agreed, that's likely to be the case. It's not now, though. Because of limited scholarships you can't load up at one position because of what MIGHT happen. That said I hope UND gets the Rossmiller (sp) kid from Lakeville South. Quote

He turned them both down. Gotta hold on for a couple more days. Not true we already have 2 good DE. Have no scholarships for anymore. But believe what you want. He was at our camp in July, if we were going to offer it would have been then. Quote

Of course, you can believe the "alternative facts" if you'd like and continue to live in your own world like many NDSU fans. Quote

Like a good agent, he has said this absolutely was true and Ott did not give NDSU consideration because of fact that UND was on him early and the relationship they have. Quote
ND1 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Just heard one of our LB recruits has been offered by Oregon but is still committed to UND. Not sure how many LB we have commuted, but I suspect it might be the kid from Wisconsin. Quote

There is no question UND's staff recruited some high character kids with very good talent in this year's class. Man, I hope we can hang on to all of them. Bubba and his staff have UND in position to do big time things in the future. Quote

Now take a lap. EDIT: Because Zeke said no to ndsu, it appears that the "next man up" for ndsu could be USD TE commit Jensen from Wayzata. 9 Quote

Like every school, both FBS and FCS, NDSU offers scholarships long after camp season is over. I have multiple first hand accounts of NDSU offering scholarships later in the process. Quote
Popular Post FlinFlan80 Posted January 26, 2017 Popular Post Posted January 26, 2017 First of all, I don't quite understand why NDSU fans are on this site, but to each their own. I think Ott turning down NDSU really shows the gap closing between UND and NDSU football. That being said, I think Bubba and his staff are a huge reason why the gap has closed. 8 Quote
siouxfan512 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Looks like we offered Jo Jo Henderson. I'd assume as a safety. Anyone think we will see some FBS drop downs this season? Quote

The telling sign is he hasn't been over here "double-checking" the recruiting information that is posted. Or lying about it on BV. Quote

Oh, the gap is certainly closing. By the time UND is playing NDSU regularly, the gap will be closed. Bubba and his staff have done wonders. Go UND! 5 Quote

Absolutely, you put this gap closing on a graph, NDSU line is dropping down and UND's is going up, by or before MVFC time, the lines collide. 1 Quote
Hardcore Hawk Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Looks like we lost a recruit, Thomas Gibson headed to Winona State. Quote

UNDBIZ Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 2 minutes ago, sioux24/7 said: Was he a PWO? Based on how his commitment was originally reported, it seemed he was going to get a partial (no idea how much). A fair explanation is we were pushing him to play defense and it looks like Winona will keep him at WR. Good luck to him, though decommitting in the last week before signing day is unfortunate. More money available for someone else. Quote
MadScout03 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 No, he wasn't listed as one. Pure speculation here, but UND pegged him as a safety while Winona St tweeted about him at WR. Maybe defense wasn't really where he wanted to play. Who knows. Quote

They got a commitment from the stud TE for Crosy-Ironton Quote
