I don’t remember this being a problem with our Canadian guys back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Some of my favorite players in the past were Canucks. You had Scotty Schultz, Donovan Alexander, The Manitoba Moose, Bamba. Although Bamba didn't last a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No concussion protocol, and 2-a-day practices every day in the fall. And we turned out just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current 6’5” 327 OL for the Calgary Stampeders. Same class as the Grady Train. Those were supposed to be our bookends for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksixpack Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 1 hour ago, FlinFlan80 said: If he lands at a real FBS school (Power 5) I'll be shocked. First of all, you can't tell me him quitting the week of a playoff game wont be red flags for any team thinking about offering him. Second of all, he is good, but its not like he is a future NFL guy. My prediction: He ends up at another FCS or back in canada. I'm guessing he wouldn't be transferring if there wasn't another "better" opportunity for him already lined up. These new transfer rules are really going to hurt FCS teams as well as lower D1 teams in all other sports. If you excel in FCS football or D1 in a non-power 5 conference you will probably have a chance to go to a power five team or, at least a better program, as a transfer. It's going to be tough for UND, NDSU, etc for all sports. Lone exception would be UND hockey as they are top dog at any level of college and have already snatched up 4 studs from the transfer portal for next year. The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer and as a result, the level of play between the big dogs and mid level dogs will increasingly become a lot wider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 As a UND fan I appreciated the way he played. He will be missed as running the ball will be our key to having any sort of playoff run. 30 days in between games gives a lot of opportunities for players to have a lot of conversations. Next man up and let’s see what we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, its bound to become the norm going forward just like free agency in pro sports. Kids are recruited at age 16-18; they develop different and when they become age 19-21 some D1 guys never fulfilled the potential for that level and some D2 guys may have blossomed into a higher level. The new transfer portal rules will be a barometer to balance the talent out again...guys at higher levels that cannot get on the field, court, etc will transfer down a level and guys that are excelling at lower levels will transfer up to a higher level of play. I believe UND football has some D2 guys that transferred that are helping the team this year but a kid that is excelling like Hergel may opt up to a higher level. Like it or not, this will be the norm going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND-fan Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I am not against the transferring rule but now were getting transferring in the middle of season even in professional sports free agency happens after the season. I think there should be penalty for doing this when the season is in play the school that provided scholarship and position for you have invested time and money in exchange for you playing and now you transfer in my mind it totally wrong. If this going to be case then the schools should be able pull players scholarship in mid year too if were going to have open recruiting in midseason which i am totally against. I think if you transfer or quit in season then you should have to sit for a season before you can play at another school or why have any rules for scholarships. This is not teaching young adults any values or that your word means something this is all about me mentality. He's not only letting down the coaches, school, but all of his teammates who have put forth this effort to be able compete for championship how do ever face these people again and look them eye feel good about yourself. that's my feelings on this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya but remember we are playing football in late April this year...this is highly unusual and we are the only level playing right now. I don’t suspect there will be any future April football playoff games that will collide with May transfer deadlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoHawks Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Is there any mention anywhere when or if Bubba and the team knew he was transferring? Since we haven't been playing, he could've let them know awhile ago and is just releasing it. Or maybe it's mutual? Either way, he was fun to watch, but next man up. Let's finally get that monkey off our backs and get a W Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
