Was waiting for that

More ridiculous than a 1C/5A scenario? CC this year with 3C/0A. 

Would they go 1C/2A (Senden, Hain, Frisch) and would that be some sort of tell to 2023-24 season?

Would they go 1C/3A (above plus Jamernik) and would that be a different tell? 

Would they go 1C/5A like 2016? (And which five? Hain and Frisch are the gimmes.)

 

Oh the many questions of the off season ...

GOT EM! 

Hahaha that was solid. Yeah, 6 would be A LOT, but I didn't have a problem with 5, IMO.

So will Sidorski be required to take classes? Sounds like he’s graduating with a double major from Union so curious to know what the academic rules are for 5th year seniors?

I assume he will enroll in grad school.

Do they have a helmet big enough for that brain of his????

[The Sicatoka]

Neuroscience and Economics ... talk about peas and lug nuts. Not sure how those go together. 

Is he coming for grad classes at Med School, or MBA, ... or both.

We'll find one if it keeps PK minutes off key guys (meaning offensively on the back end).

Would guess MBA based on his summer internship plans.

Anybody played at UND while attending med school?

I’m not sure it’s possible. My roommate my last year at UND was a first year med student and the schedule she had was insane.

Defensemen (8)
Fifth-year Chris Jandric
Fifth-year Ty Farmer
Fifth-year Ryan Sidorski
Senior Ethan Frisch
Junior Tyler Kleven
Junior Cooper Moore
Sophomore Brent Johnson
Sophomore Luke Bast

I'm guessing we'll be going back to the portal next season for some dmen.
My bet would be that we'll lose Jandric, Farmer, Sidorski, Frisch, and Kleven from this list next year....leaving just Moore, Johnson, and Bast as our remaining d-corps. 
Depending on how many of our current dman recruits are ready to join the NCAA ranks.

[siouxfaninseattle]

So the last time UND had a C and five As, they won a national championship. And I don't recall having a C and five As since. Logic then tells me go with a C and five As. It's obviously the path the #9.

C - Senden,  A Hain, Frisch, Gaber, Klevin and a player to be named later.

Hopefully most of them are since zero were ready this year, which is absurd.

I can argue both ways.

One year rental: Bring in a one year top four guy and take a run at a green banner. The younger portion of the corps gets more time to ripen. Farmer (plus Hain and Senden) tells me what I need to know: this is the plan. Farmer is the right fit: right shot, and can cover if Jandric or Moore "make him like clothesline". 

- or - 

Guy with eligibility: A year from now Jandric is done. Frisch will be entertaining FA offers; OTT will be pressuring Kleven. And if Moore were to progress, who knows. Yes, there's a real scenario where the defense could be down to Johnson, Bast, (Sanderson's replacement), and (Ferner's replacement). In this scenario bringing in a guy with more than year (instead of Farmer) would make sense. But, now with Farmer here you're going to only get a fourth-pair guy because there's no minutes.  

What do I believe we'll be talking about in 12 months?
Expected case: A year from now it'll be Moore, Johnson, Bast, (Ferner's replacement), and four well-rounded ready incoming freshmen. 
Best case: See Expected case but Frisch spends his Covid year at UND (I expect Kleven to go), which also means three freshmen (because one isn't ready).
Worst case: Johnson, Bast, (Ferner's replacement), and four well-rounded ready incoming freshmen, and an upperclassman portal. 

 

We're off my notions completely with two "rentals". I still believe Kleven is gone after 2022-23.

The best case becomes Johnson, Bast, Frisch plays a Covid season, and Moore stays and four unknowns (freshmen and portals). 

My worst case becomes ... Johnson, Bast, and six unknowns (freshmen and portals).

The history speaks for itself. Who will step up? The toxic cage culture at UND does not produce green banners.

Ty Farmer: A New Hope (for @geaux_sioux and his fish bowl dream).

I've lost track of who's left to tweet on ...

And with the Jackson Kunz tweet we're down to Kaleb Johnson (who has no in-game highlights) and the assumed four incoming freshmen.

This goal was Bast doing his best Sanderson impression...and doing a pretty good job of it, too.
