SiouxGreen Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Anyone know any information on the usual or norm of Sioux walkons and do we usually pick any of them up? Are they open to the public? Have any of you tried to get on the team? I'm pretty sure you have to be enrolled in school and I bet they get a good turnout. Let's discuss this Quote

Let'sGoHawks! Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 They actually dropped the rule that you have to be enrolled in school. Because of this, the Sioux expect to contend for the Division II title with many ex-NFlers on their roster. Mike Ditka is said to be coming to the Sioux...to play defense, which is why he will not be running for senator in Illinois. Robert Smith, fresh off his new book is said to be bored and is toying around with playing for the Sioux as well...if he does well in walk on tryouts. Quote

shep Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Enrolled in school, eh? You know, that's just crazy enough to work. Quote
bigmrg74 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Next he'll say some crazy idea that you actually have to pass your classes to play. Quote
PCM Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I'll end all speculation by reporting that -- once again -- I have not made the team as a walk-on. Quote
PCM Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 PCM: UND's starting "left out". Hey, hockey season's coming! Quote
Wilbur Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Have any of you tried to get on the team? I'm pretty sure you have to be enrolled in school and I bet they get a good turnout. I know a couple of guys who walked on, and yes they are enrolled at the college. Quote
bigmrg74 Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 I know a couple of guys who walked on, and yes they are enrolled at the college. Shhhhh.... You wouldn't want the NCAA catch wind of that. The next think you'll know, they'll be taking away scholorships or something. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 College football players who are enrolled students at the school they play for. Brilliant! Quote
UND_Hockey Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 This past weekend I had an opportunity to watch the Missouri East-West All-Star Football Game. This game features the best players in the state going to Division I I-AA and II players. I was very interested to learn that there was a Player from Kansas City, Mo who is going to UND and plans to try out for the Sioux. His name is Thomas Ecklund he played at Park Hill High School a Class 5 school where he played QB and lead his team to there first ever State Championship. The program listed him as 5'-11" 195 lbs. He is a dual threat QB and is very difficult to get to frastrated the heck out of several D-I players and is very fast on his feet, and hits extremely hard for a QB. Threw one TD plass was 4 of 6 for 110 yds and rushed for 40 yds on 6 carries looked to be sacked 3 times and never lost any yards made the east defensive line and linebackers look silly and these are all good players. Looks like UND is getting a good walk-on candidate! Quote
UND Fan Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 UND Hockey - Thanks for the post! He sounds like a potential contributor. Likely wants to go into aviation. We should know within a couple of weeks who else is attempting to walk-on. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Ricky Williams is on is way to UND as we speak Quote
bigmrg74 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Fiendishly clever, if you ask me. Hmmmm.... Maybe some other schools could try this as well. Quote
UND Fan Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Anyone know anything about who is walking on (whether invited or on their own)? If so, any background on them would be appreciated. Is the Ecklund kid from MO trying out? Quote
UND_Hockey Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 I was looking at some spots in Kansas City to see what I could find out about Ecklund and came across a website that shows him on a couple of plays first one is a game early in the year against Grand View High School and the second one is the Quarterfinals against Winnetonka High School were they were down 13-7 and won with no time left on the clock. http://www.kcteamsports.com/videos.htm He rushed for over 103 yds in the State Championship game including a 39 yard run from scrimmage to score the first touchdown in the game and a two point conversion around the outside. From what I've heard he is a pretty good athlete all conference selection, and a 3 year lettermen in both Football & Basball. Don't know if he is up there yet or when the walk-ons report but he is some one who may contribute on either side of the ball. One coach in his conference told me he is glad he graduated and won't have to play against him again. Quote
