2019 UND Recruiting

[SkoHawks]

For possibly something else to talk about.  We have lost a couple recruits on/around signing day and you never know what role the coaching situation will play with recruits.  Who are your Top 5 recruits that you definitely hope sign on signing day? 

Link to SS list: 2019 commits

1. Cedric Case QB - probably on everyone's list

2. Chrysten Cochran WR - Speed we need

3. Billy Riviere TE - highly rated, need to replace Fiedler and Cloyd gonna be a SR

4. Elijah Beach DE - always need DL, like his size

5. Josh Navratil LB - good athlete with RB background

Does anyone know what areas Rudy and Knauf recruited? Just worried if they recruited some of these guys should we be worried?

Rudy stuck around ND. So those would be some of the kids that he handled. Knauf didn't do much from what I can see

Offered Yo Pierre big LB who has offers from EWU and MSU. 

Watch his Hudl. He's a horse.

Thanks. I saw Chandon Pierre listed as all Conf and stupidly thought he had a brother. SMH

Hopefully he doesn’t do too good.

He didn't do well at all. Threw off wrong foot into traffic multiple times.   Picked 4 times.  Looked very average. He is still  a very good athlete that I think can play and if not QB at another position but anyone watching him today wouldn't be impressed.  Too bad for him.  The Suggs kid is an outstanding athlete. Announcers said he visited Alabama and Notre Dame but is an NBA talent in BB.  Fun kid to watch.

Looking at who we have offers to I really hope we can lock up Evan Hull and Zander Gray at RB.

I watched most of the game. He definitely wasn’t playing his game. Tried to do too much. Physically he reminds me of Wentz his senior year of high school. Lots of room to fill out on his frame. He did make some good throws but that second half was dreadful. A D2 school I think will be lucky to get him.

Skokna, a 5'9" 175# RB, had offers from Brown, Stetson, USD, SDSU, EKU, EIU, & WIU.

I knew he was on campus recently so thought we might get a flip out of it.  Kid could be a difference maker for us....... Excited about this one.

Just joking? Or do you think someone from WIU is applying?

I was thinking our internal staff.

Very nice to see a flip from a MVFC program to UND. Good for UND football.

Good point. We’ll see. Still hoping an external candidate with a strong quality of ingenuity applies. 

[geaux_sioux]

This is great news. We need more athletes. He fits the bill.

[UND1983]

That's a good recruit.  The who else offered crowd should be elated.

The who else offered crowd has a fair point. Not every player with only 1 offer is simply “under the radar”.

I’m always happy to see a well recognized and recruited player commit to UND, as should everyone else who cheers for UND football.

What a shot in the arm for this '19 recruiting class! Recruit rankings are obviously subjective, but Hero had him as the #15 FCS RB recruit in the country.

So this flip came in before Danny interviewed and was hired right?  Was just curious what impact if any Danny had on this.  Or maybe the kid just saw that we let Rudy go and assumed we'd be getting a better OC.  Would be curious to know what the key factors in him flipping were.  

[Sioux94]

I think Danny being named the OC will give us a better chance to hold on to Cedric Case.  Danny can call him and tell him more about what the offense will look like in the future, not what we've been doing.  Heck after watching the last four games, I honestly didn't even want to watch our offense anymore.....much less play for it and dedicate my whole college career to it.  Plus I think Danny was a shorter QB than the Prototype QB, and I believe Case isn't real tall either.....so Danny may be able to relate well to him on that also, and also give him confidence that he can be successful even though he's not 6'3 +.

Height issue is more of an NFL thing. There are countless examples of 5’10” to 6’0” All-American QBs in college football - just need the right system.

Who knows how everything went down behind closed doors but the timing is curious. Danny very well could have called him up on saturday and told him the job was in the bag and the interview was a formaility.
