Glad our foreign recruiting connections (Canada, Netherlands) are still in tact.

That Agyekum guy is quick, like it

Keep that Canadian pipeline going. This should be one region where UND should dominate in getting quality players.

Amen.  I've long believed that no NCAA football program should out-recruit UND in Canada.

I understand these guys are better than Howe and Gundy.

So this guy’s not a turd? 

I just hope he shows up.  Canadians are shooting about 50/50 on making it to GF.

We’ve been burned bad by a few good looking ones under Bubba.

This could be a really interesting signing.  He stood out big time the one time I saw him play.  Man against boys type guy.

I heard the same.  Good get and excellent work ethic.

Wonder if he knows DAE

I really like the three guys we signed at the end. All three guys fill needs. Still hoping we get a big body nose to bolster the DL and potentially an experienced drop down qb.

Could be an interesting trend, Power 5 schools over offering.  Hopefully the next few years our coaches can also pluck out some gems when this happens.

“Me and my teammates are very determined to turn this team into a national champion,” Navratil said. “I believe that we can grab a title in my years here. We’re changing the work ethic to get what we deserve.”

Yes, please!!!!

If he can help deliver a Natty I'm going to overlook the grammar and dis on prior team(s) work ethic.

I think Cole Reyes made a similar statement his freshman year.  That didn't turn out too badly.

You have to have a goal!  So let them establish that as a goal and see what happens! 

I think they will be competitive in the Missouri Valley which always gives you an opportunity to be highly ranked for the playoffs.  Also, I think this will help recruiting!  Playing regionally and in the best conference will be huge.
