Hardcore Hawk Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 2 hours ago, The Sicatoka said: May I respectfully disagree? The spring roster shows five: Skokna, Mitchell, Ziebarth, Smith, Pride Admittedly they list the new Romfo as a WR (and not as RB I'd expected). Injuries pile up as the season progresses. One more back isn't a bad thing. PS: UNI lists 7 and NDSU lists 8 at RB on spring rosters. I agree, I think UND absolutely should add him if they can. I would just slot him at 4 right now on the depth chart if he were on campus. You’re right, extra RB bodies are not a bad thing in the MVFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDL Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 one pitfall of transferring is that you then put yourself back in the pool of available players along with incoming freshmen, so you are vying for spots with a larger group of players. . it looks like the NCAA is looking at this issue: https://theathletic.com/news/ncaa-d-i-council-approves-1-year-signing-limits-waiver-to-account-for-transfers/rO2GwQvo6YDt/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benefit for this is change is to the top schools/conferences and not the players or G5 or smaller schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDL Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Agreed. The pool of available talent for the P5's has broadened. The players they take from the G5/FCS/etc. are more proven than the high school players thereby making their recruiting more certain. Meanwhile the G5/FCS... are in the same boat as the JUCO's - audition schools for the P5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 "The NCAA analyzed data for all of the sports under its jurisdiction and found that only 30% (9,101) of Division I athletes who entered the portal across all sports transferred and received athletic aid at their new school, and 47% (14,293) of all entrants remain active." This is a glaring stat. Not sure how student athletes can look at these stats and think the transfer portal is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way guys like Cole Spicer decommit -- they are told how great they are and they should be playing, and that it is most likely the coaches fault they aren't.

Some of them think they should be playing in the NFL but are not even playing non their college team.

Nodak78 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Down south another player entered the portal Andre Carrier @andrecarrier_ I would like to start off by saying thank you to the coaches and staff at NDSU. I would also like to thank my teammates for the memories and friendships. With a lot of thought and consideration I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 4 years of eligibility remaining.

A Cavalier kid, I was a little surprised to see him pick NDSU out of high school. Had a couple DII offers. My guess is he crosses the river and plays for the Dragons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall all, but the secondary took a hit IIRC I am with @forksandspoons, not only a net positive, but probably not that close. Trying to be objective. Looking at some bullet points. It's important to note that the returning roster at each positional group plays into the overall impact as well. Sizable Positive Impact. Offensive Line: 3 in vs 0 out. The O-Line will be considerably better and deeper than they would have been, because of the portal. Safety: 1 in vs 0 out. Buckner seems to be a player. Legitimate 2-Deep guy. Small Positive Impact. OLB: 1 in vs 1 out. For one season, I think you take Cooper as a Grad Transfer over Urwiler as a Sophomore. Small Negative Impact. D-Line: 1 in vs 1 out. I'm taking Seguin over Ogbu. Running Back. 1 In vs 1 Out. Talent wise, you're just not replacing Otis. Other factors at play there as well which downplays the negative impact to that position group. Medium Negative Impact. Tight End: 1 Out vs 0 In. Riviere was the best blocking TE on the team last year. They don't lose a lot at that position, but when you're talking blocking TE, it's tough to gauge. Sizable Negative Impact. Cornerback: 2 Out vs 1 In. You lose your # 2 / # 3 guys. It went from a position of strength to one that you worry about / an unknown. No Impact: Wide Receiver: 3 Out vs 0 In. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
