Hopefully moving Iwarri from RB to WR can pay the same dividends as moving Santiago from WR to RB.... thats not asking for too much, is it?

siouxfan512 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 As we approach the start of spring practices, and as much as I hope to see some big strides for players (especially the young ones), I really just have one wish for spring ball ...... STAY HEALTHY GUYS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Teeder11 Posted March 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2016 OK... here we go! Let me just start off with a hearty "Hallelujah!" for the HPC! The hair on the back of my neck still stands up when I walk into that beast of a building. 1. Bubba preached more urgency and crispness during drills. Tried to get the boys attention that this stuff if for real now and they can't just hear what the coaches are saying, they need to really listen and execute. 2. After practice huddle: Bubble told the team to go to the Betty this afternoon at 2 p.m. to support WBB against MSU. He said Mia Loyd is tough and her play is worth the price of admission alone. Coach Freund, quickly piped in "But don't skip class!!!" What Bubba didn't say was that there will be an NBA Hall of Famer in the building this afternoon, as former Jazz great John Stockton is an assistant with MSU. 3. This just in: Cole Reyes is one tough mutha F@##$%. He is out there practicing with the team in the same gear as the rest of the team with a big old cast on his left forearm. He doesn't sit out any drills and goes as hard as you'd expect. He is truly UND football tough int the traditional sense. 4. Clive was running wild today. Nobody could cover him(and that's not a knock on the secondary)and he was sucking in every ball like a vacuum. He hauled in one that would have been good for a TD from 60+ out, and he pulled in another tough grab that would have went for long yardage. He looked like he was having fun out there. 5. Heidelbaugh started out fine in drills but was a bit unsettled with his footwork once things went uptempo in skelly work, causing several balls to sail on him. Studs and Bartels looked fine. 6. If you can believe this --- Santiago looks to have even sharper cuts through the line and more burst once hes' in the open than last year. Stay tuned. If the line can gel, who knows how far he'll go. 7. I liked what I saw from Stetson Carr at WR... he's a bigger version of Seibel and was featured a lot today with intermediate over the middle pass plays. He hauled in all but one that was broken up by a good play by an ILB. If I remember correctly, he had a really good spring two years ago but eventually left the the team. Glad he's back! 8. A newbie that showed flashes today was DB Torrey Hunt, wearing #16. The kid had a really nice break on one pass play where he picked it off just before it hit the receivers hands and he took it for what would have been a sure 6 points. He looks very fast albeit a bit thin at this point. I was impressed with his showing given is lack of familiarity with the defensive schemes. That's it for today. I will try to get out there again tomorrow morning. Enjoy! 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeder11 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Crap, I forgot a big one. Joe Francis at TE looks like the real deal. In fact, he looked down right impressive out there this morning. He hauled in every pass that came his way and had nice quickness after the catch. His size and relative speed looked really good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambone Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hunt is going to be a wild card in my opinion. Doesn't really seem like a true freshman with his year at Navy Prep. I'm hoping that he has a good spring and is someone we can count on sucking up some minutes next year. Agree on Carr - everyone thought he was going to be a good one while he was sitting out due to the transfer rules. Glad he's looking good. The kids I'm most curious about for the Spring are Hunt, Heidlebaugh, Vashon Tucker, Grant Alpin, Mason Bennett, Donnell Rodgers, Tim Dulin, Jacob Meeks. Also interested in the position changes for Mollberg and I. Smith. Can't wait for the daily updates Teeder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the ones you mentioned specifically, I thought Hunt, Tucker, Smith and Dulin stood out the most. That is not to detract from the others.... they just didn't stand out. But sometimes it is easier for WR and DBs to stand out more early in spring and fall because of the no contact situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the write up! Not when I was there. I didn't spot him on the field as far as the number he's listed as on the roster. Taubs and MacGregor were in the house. They did not kick.
