This kid's recruiting got blown waaaayayayay out of proportion because it was UND/NDSU doing the bidding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 In general it looks like we could have a really good class. QB would be nice though. I see Forum guys tweeted he originally had a walk on offer from NDSU and that UND offered scholarship and that he now has committed to NDSU. They don't mention that NDSU now offered scholarship too. They didn't get all the facts included. qb would be nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he said that when Joe still had 2 years left. Not sure why you would make that blanket declaration Because he was a back ally abortion of a qb coach and OC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SooToo Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Congrats to Mr. Graetz. Great opportunity for him or any other young man to play FCS football and get a free education (albeit at the AC) to boot. Sounds like UND staff felt he was a quality candidate but he's not the first and won't be the last to be blinded by their recent success. Time to move the focus to one of several quality QBs still available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is all about what is best for the student athlete, just like any decision to go anywhere. Personally what I see in UND football is an opportunity to play for a solid FCS program. Facilities are nice, the college itself is a solid university, etc etc. It is the coaches job to let these athletes know why they should come to UND. That's why they get paid the big bucks to coach year round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoHawks Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I went back and found the part in the 360 Podcast in early January where they mentioned 6 QB's they thought we might have interest in. Two are now "gone" (Graetz, Riley Kinney) The four that remain: Walker Kinney 6'3" 215# Stilwell, KS - Pretty good runner, has or had offers from WIU and SDSU Jayden Johannsen 6'2" 200# Sioux Falls, SD - Believe NDSU offered PWO Hayden Ekern 6'2" 200# St. Rita HS (Chicago), IL - originally committed to Montana St. this summer, but they rescinded his offer after coaching changes Matt Campbell 6'5" 215# Fort Scott, KS - Good size, has some touch, but probably more of a project, played some TE Freund follows the last 3 on twitter, doesn't follow Kinney.

I believe Riley Kinney is only a PWO with Nebraska. I wouldn't think that would take him out of play. Though I believe he was a legacy, so his commitment to Nebraska may stick.

However, go on any other schools fan message board that has a decent following and you will see the exact same stuff, if not worse. Comparatively speaking, our fan board is not that bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 So Graetz went from PWO at NDSU to PWO at UMn to calling UND to UND offering a scholarship to NDSU offering a scholarship. Seems Graetz got what he wanted from NDSU. (I'll stop short of saying Graetz worked NDSU.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offered the Wisconsin QB a walk on not long ago and by the end they had to give him a full ride to get him.. NDSU apparently didn't get who they really wanted if they went from walk on to full ride in the last week. they must of been feeling a little desperate. Well we at least have something in common with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 That Pierre is a stud. This could we a very special recruiting class.

Already 255, not sure if his body can handle more weight. Either way, great get for our D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
