Another OL JC offer:

OG Mitchell Kay, 6'4", 300, Long Beach (Long Beach CC), CA

Unfortunately, this is another kid whose first offer is from us!  Scary!  

I hope it's just because he's been running under the radar and not because we're so desperate that we offer whatever will look at us.

What about RsR Jeremy Jenkins? 6'7" 275 this year. Bigger now? Will be next spring?

I would think all three rfr will be 300 by next season.  Kruse already is.

Wishful thinking, probably the latter.

First Offer U

Average Football U. 

I'd like leadership and us, the supporters, to eventually entertain changing that.

Midco is having a signing day show Dec 20th at 10am.  Really looking forward to this.

Again, you got us-we just want to be an average team.

Allow me to express my thoughts on expectations. I was all in on getting rid of Hakstol before he left. Posters defending him, kept talking about the final fours. I didn't care about final fours, I expected UND hockey to win titles.

I expect UND football to win titles. Hockey fans were willing to wait on Hak because he kept getting them close. I believe Bubba and crew will be getting football close too, but Hak had to follow Gino and Blaise. We are in the Gino phase of UND football. Not gonna happen easily with SU either, but you guys who want to get rid of Bubba after an injury bad year, don't care.

Why are we recruiting  juco OL from California in year 5 of the this staff's tenure?  Juco OL never pan out and they sure don't from CA.

I agree whole heartily with this.     I see no reason we should need juco's or FBS transfers.    I keep hearing how good NDSU is, and they   never seem to go the transfer route.

Kinda have to go with the transfer route right now with how the roster looks

But yes, juco OL from CA shouldn’t be what we are recruiting this far into Bubba’s tenure

I rather go with good long term help.    I not convinced we gain much from transfers.    Recruit high school kids and develop them to fit our needs, it's far better over the long haul.

This class seems to have some nice pieces (Siegel, Maag, Slater, Bruner) but I don’t think it’s complete until there’s a QB!

Once we have program depth like them we will get to be extremely particular about transfers like NDSU is. We need some at DB LB & OL or we will keep wasting players by throwing them in the fire before they’re ready.

I agree.  If the player makes us better, then grab him.  But we have missed a lot on transfers.

Depth will take care of many things!

Likely.  

Fits the mold of Wanzek/TT at WR (if that’s his spot).  One of the top basketball players in Class B and a strong track/field guy.  

[Mama Sue]

I love it when these kids add continuing education or academics to their announcement. Positive culture and I respect these young men!

Exciting future, GO SIOUX!

UND gets commitment #4 to Class of 2018 from Griffin Lickfeldt of Westfield, IN. 6'1.5"-250. Projects as a NG.

The SiouxFootball Twitter account re-tweeted something from these folks (about no Christmas card or something). 

Looking at the picture, I flew on the same flight as Griffin and his dad (a PhD) on a Sunday morning in October.
