Early Signing Day GDT

[Nodak78]

I agreed he has to be good.  Why else would we sign him.  They do need to develop 

2 or 3 years everyone was ticked off because we didn't sign HS recruit every year.

Projected depth signees: They aren't needed at this time for the QB position. 

Plenty of examples of UND QBs over the years who have had little to no chance to ever start and win football games (Heidlebaugh, Grover, Bolinske, etc.). 

 

[Nodak78]

We'll send your suggestion in to Danny.  Maybe save them a bunch of research.

Most of us still would be. A constant rotation of transfers at the "most important position in sports" isn't healthy for the team. Boltman is the only HS commit at the QB position since 2014 perceived as legitimate..... not good. 

[UNDBIZ]

After next season we'll have a senior (Grover), who UND-FB-FAN says has no chance to ever start and win, and a junior (Boltman). Need to keep the pipeline full.

Freund doesn't want to hear from you, or probably most on this board, regarding football recruiting and strategy. 

If UND's coaching staff starts regularly taking suggestions from people on this board then UND football is worse off than I thought.

I predicted the same thing with QB Ben Bolinske from Minot and got chastised on this board. Guess what, he left for Division II. Same went for Heidlebaugh but thankfully he found a spot at receiver. Grover will never start. If he does, UND won't win. 

A lot on here refuse to listen to realistic criticism.

You may be right, I've never seen Grover play or even practice. I just don't believe you have any actual knowledge of Grover's potential either. 

If you're correct, it reinforces my point about the mostly empty qb pipeline.

I’ve watched his film and have seen him practice.

Next QB up. It hurts not getting Cedric Case but that ship has sailed. Now on to the next recruit.

So why waste a scholly on Grover at QB?     Find some other place to fit him in.   The same goes for any potential HS QB recruit.    Get someone who has great potential, no use getting someone just to say we got a QB in this class.   We don't need another Grover just marking time.   I'd rather see no QB in this class than another marginal one is what I'm getting at.

I don’t think Grover is on a scholarship. Right? 

[UNDBIZ]

Ok, we need an actual QB recruit in this HS class. That work?

Obviously we don't want to recruit a bad player, but we absolutely need a QB. Get one.

But a Grover or Heidelbaugh type QB is almost worse than nothing, and I remember how hyped people were about H when we first signed him.

One athlete and one walk on. I said an actual QB recruit. UND needs to get one in this class.

I understand where your coming from, but this process has it's margin of error.

Might be dreaming cause apparently, Michigan State is showing interest and his brother plays there. This kid would be great.

Yea, and maybe his Uncle Vince could come here and coach.  Win/win for us.

[sioux24/7]

Well the article the GFHerald had had a quote I believe saying they still want a HS QB or a QB with 4 years eligibility.

Seeing as we didn't get a HS QB last year, let's do both. 

[sioux24/7]

So with this early signing period how long are players able to sign before it closes again until February?

Early signing period is only 3 days, ends on the 21st.

I'm not the one suggesting anything to the staff.  However, you seems to always have the answers.

Relative to most on here, yes; therefore, I'll take that as a compliment. 

Despite my track record of predictions on here, most would rather blindly dispute all forms of criticism.

To each their own I guess.
