DE Jaelen Johnson out of Wisconsin has committed. Per Travis Wilson he is a PWO.

Like Johnson.  He had an injury apparently and kind of got lost in the shuffle.  Great athlete.

Weren't there a few commits this weekend? Other than Johnson, does anyone have any ideas on who they may be? Seem like there has not been much reporting for football since the first signing day.

Perhaps they were referencing the already committed guys. Just a guess.

In addition to Johnson, looks like Beau Foix (TE) and Chavildo Van Ommeron (Juco S) committed.

[siouxfan512]

A lot of Safety commits this year. Definitely not a bad thing given the depth issues we have had and the departure of Reyes Anyone know where we can expect to see Jaxon Turner playing next year? If I recall, they were moving him back to safety until there were depth issues at LB. Will they be moving him back to safety again? If he can play the position, I'd rather have a 200lb Safety over another 200 lb linebacker.

I hope the coaches are still pushing for a QB and RB.

"TE Beau Foix committed yesterday and would classify him as a ‘diamond in the rough’. The Iron Ranger from Virginia, MN is a legit 6’6” and can move quite well. He was a force along the defensive line and even lined up at QB in their short yardage situations. Foix has bigtime potential at tight end for UND and could easily be moved to defensive line if a need arises. You can never have too much height/length and Foix has both."

 

chad mustard is the last te that has had any effect on the und offense in the last 20 years and has gotten worse under rudy!!!!!

I honestly can't fathom some of the recruiting. We've recruited some serious athletes at the tight end position but then game day rolls around and they get maybe a handful of plays as a focus. With how we've recruited tight ends, you'd think they'd be the focus of at least a third of the passing attack.

Can't agree more.  Makes no sense. The current TE's are very athletic and not used to there potential. All you hear about is the pro style offense we are using and the TE's are not involved for the most part in the pass offense. Nothing like you see at the next level.

I agree that the TE's on the roster and added this year are very athletic.

My thought is that Studs would lock on to a WR early, and never get back to any other player. Now there were very few times he locked on to a TE, but with a new QB, maybe they get noticed more.

Also, I have watched games in the SEC and the NFL and TE’s are used often. A lot of talent going to waste.

If you are trying to make sense of Rudolph's philosophy and strategy all you will get is a headache.

That's because it takes 21 years to learn the offense.

Good point.  It will be interesting to see if the offense takes a step forward next year with hopefully a more natural passer who doesn't lock in on his first target right away.

Anyone know if UND is doing a signing day show like they did for the first signing day?
