If I were in charge, and I probably should be, I'd count each Canadian commit at half of face value.  Since you can't count on a half commit, another Canadian commit at O-line would of made 1 full commit.  That's the rule, going forward. 

Exactly. Finally someone gets it. A recruiting exchange rate.

You're looking at the wrong variable.

True.  Smart vs. dumb would be my choice for heavily weighted  variable.

Maybe Kennedy got it done?

[UNDBIZ]

Better late than never

[Teeder11]

Coaches, working with AD financial analysts (and alumni) got 'er done. Got rolling under BF, completed under Chaves. 

[Siouxperman8]

Great news.  

[UNDColorado]

Very nice to see!

[Hawkster]

So did Champions Club pay for the rings?

After all this time. Never thought this would happen. Wow what good news!  Congratulations Team 2016.

Glad they got that done. Was not a good look for UND. The team earned it.

[Milford torgerson]

It’s no small feat to win a major conference.  Well deserved

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

This is a good move for the program.

As some kind of an affiliate of the Big Sky for two more seasons, let's remind them we are capable of winning the Big Sky again, even if we agreed to not take home the trophy.

Exchange rate?
Can I get a left tackle for three linebackers and a tight end?

Throw in a power forward and you've got a deal!

Rats, was thinking hoops.  Bigger need there.

You want an LT and a BB4? 
Um, that's four LBs, two TEs, and a reserve QB, and you probably have to toss in a soccer striker. 
You want the extended warranty option with that too?

This just confirms all the conjecture on this topic previously.

UND football is grossly underfunded and I will continue to maintain my stance on this despite what others (mainly hockey goons) have to bitch about. When HPC phase II is funded and construction started maybe I'll step back a bit.

Happy about Chaves. Great AD and better man.

As one of the Sharks would say, I"m out.

I thought it was a real class act for UND to ensure all of the local USPS workers got rings to match their outfits.

It's not just one deflection.   To loose at least 3 high quality Ol ...Grady Merz and now Rain.  If retained...UND could run their simplistic offense and occasionally succeed in the big sky....maybe nationally.  They cannot afford to lose any quality in the trenches.  If Rudolph was gone my mind set wouldn't be so gloom but it is what it is. 

I know this is pure fantasy, but do we really have to mention Grady ever again? If the dude wanted to be playing football, he'd be playing. From what I've been told by guys on the team that knew him: 

• He didn't take his final exams after the season was over his freshman year. That's the move of someone who doesn't plan to be back or to go somewhere else.
• He doesn't need the scholarship $.
• He had a child at home and wanted to be more present. 
• He had a second chance and didn't even show up.
• He stiffed some of his teammates on paying rent and just left his stuff in the apartment (XBox, etc.). Didn't reply to voicemails, texts, etc. from the guys that thought of him as a friend.

He was a great talent. But to blame the coaching staff for not retaining him seems unreasonable. He DIDN'T want to be here. End of story.
