UND-FB-FAN Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 16 minutes ago, Bison Dan said: How do you explain SDSU? They’ve made a concentrated effort to improve their FOOTBALL program, with facility upgrades specifically. They are arguably top 5 FCS for stadium, indoor practice facility, and coaches offices. They certainly can effectively recruit in FCS with it. They also have a nice young corps of coaches, including Luke Schleusner, UND ‘01. Alerus Center and UND indoor practice facility are more than good enough, but the locker room, coaches offices, and meeting spaces are !@#$. Weight room needs upgrades too. Just not good enough to sway young men. UND HPC phase II desperately needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So UND is down to their 3rd, possibly 4th or 5th, option at QB. Not good, certainly not great. But “it’ll be fine” and “the sun will still come up”. Blah, blah, blah. I’ve heard it before. The mediocrity continues. Perhaps. Damn. !@#$ NDSU. My gawd Debbie. Step back from the ledge. It was our Plan B....do you really think Plan C is that far off. It's a crap shoot. They are 18 year old kids. Who knows how they will develop. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The silver lining is NDSU ended up using a full scholarship on a kid they didn't even want a month ago. I seem to remember one of their recruiting experts schooling us about how "NDSU evaluates a kid and offers them accordingly, they don't raise their offer and play games-their evaluation is final". PWO to a FULL....lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's facts are he wasn't even committed to us anymore, and in order to get a QB in this class they need to offer him a scholarship. Losing Lewis to K-State opened it up. Noland, transfer from Iowa St., fills Van Dellen's scholarship after he transferred last year and brings in competition. We brought a kid in from Florida last weekend for a visit that had an offer from D2 Voldosta St, but decided to go after Graetz. Spin it how you want to spin it, with only 4 weekends of visits coming out of the dead period after the national title game you have to move fast. Probably the easiest thing to do is recruit someone, who was once committed and has familiarity with your program then start new. It's called recruiting. There's a heck of a lot worse that goes on in the world of college football in recruiting than a money war between two schools 70 miles apart.

First chink in the armor for Entz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 What's really interesting is the timeline. They knew Lewis was gone since early-mid December but didn't offer Graetz until mid January, shortly after UND did. Huh. Plus, Minnesota only offered a PWO so they easily could have come back on Graetz in mid-December, offered him a scholarship, and had him in the early class...but they didn't. Huh. Interesting scenario that played out. Personally, I think UND needs to find someone who wants to be at UND so whatevs. Gotta go to next on list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kleiman took the K-State job a week before early signing period. Entz didn't even have a staff in place to make offers to anyone. Also after early signing period it's a dead period until after the national title. Guessing after his staff was put together, they evaluated what more they needed in this class and a scholarship QB was one. Most schools take a scholarship QB every year. It's the most important position in sports. Why do you think we're having this argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem for UND is they had little relationship with Graetz NDSU already had him committed as a PWO at one point so they had a relationship. He wanted to go there but they valued him as little as the could have so he chose UM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I saw you pontificating without telling the real story. Not really a nit pick when your future stud qb gets kicked off the team for repeated failed drug tests, I mean transfers out.
