Two Seagulls picking off the trash in the secondary. You could market something there.

Sign him up...   can't be hard to paint the green to a prettier shade,  the piss yellow may not cover as easy...  but not like you are trying to make an 'SU gal learn how to use indoor plumbing.

Could be another NIL opportunity for SU

He was a bit of disappointment

I wouldn't say disappointment, he got injured in the spring and just couldn't crack the lineup.

if it isn't disappointing to you that he never contributed at all during his time here then OK, he was really good.

It's one thing after another with this program.

What are you talking about?

Came back from an injury I heard, I wonder why he thought transferring was a good idea.

Oliphant would in my mind be the ideal candidate for the transfer portal. He’s not currently part of the 2-Deep, only has one year left. If nobody leaves early, they’ll need to replace only two Seniors on the 2-Deep. One starter. I’m guessing he wants to play.

His HUDL was a pancake every time.

Of course, that's HUDL.

Good at NSU doesn't necessarily translate good at UND.

I think we've lost 2 freshmen PWOs and 1 upper class transfer student who couldn't crack the lineup.

Do donors back the playoff bids? If so, could an NIL collective be started with the money not spent on hosting a playoff game in order to get some FBS transfers in? 

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

 

This feels identical to the Cochran exit last year

Your friendly reminder that the grass is not always greener. 

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

Next season should show additional improvements.
Hopefully getting the W on that friendly conference game at home.
Getting a seed, turning it into a W.
And more ....

Stick around men, it'll be hard work - with rewards in return.
You have many many proud supporters !

Given the support and compliments from teammates, including those at the same position as him, looks like a situation where he's headed somewhere else to get more playing time.  Best of luck to him.

Reminder that these are 18-22 year old kids doing what they think is best for THEIR future. Be respectful

Not only this new portal era, but everything is heightened by the extra covid year. It's very important when players enter the portal to look at quality along with quantity. Last year, 6 of the 8 players that entered were either starters or guys that were on the 2-Deep (or in Urwiler's case a young up and comer). 

I went back and looked to see if there's any kind of pattern with this year.

• Before season ended: 1
• First week after season ended: 3
• Second week: 3
• Later: 1

Was Marcus Preston a tough loss?

[AJS]

8 last year hit the portal, so far this year there have been 4. I'm crossing my fingers that the max we see this year is 6. 

I'm really interested to see what happens in the Secondary. We have not heard definite answers regarding Siegel / Buckner / Kauppinen as if they will be using their Covid year. My thought would be for each who returns, you'll see one in the same position group enter the portal. That's built into my max hope #. 

Another really important factor is 5 members of the Junior class Thorsness / Keech / Kimball / Neustel / Zavalney are graduating and won't be playing football further. That alone opens up Scholarship $ for 5th year / Incoming class. 

[forksandspoons]

Good luck to Marcus wherever he ends up! I hope to hear about him tearing it up for the next few years.

Seems like a great kid. Lots of potential too. Coaches were always high on him. Sometimes things just don’t work out for whatever reason. See Hoos at UNI.
