What exactly has danny done at the qb position in terms of either recruiting, developing, or retaining qb's in his time at und that should make people think he's a qb whisperer?

Asking for a friend in Fargo that talks about 3 qb's in the NFL in the same time period Danny's has been at UND?

And what have you done that's warranted your opinion to be better than his, have you been at every practice this year also? Have you been to one? What's the highest level you played QB at? 

Danny was WR coach I believe while Rudy was here. Look at the QB room now. We had a good commit that left last minute for FBS, picked up Schuster. Quincy was supposed to be good recruit, had FBS offer. Feeney highly thought of, now Kaminski. And Schuster is better than you give him credit for. 

Danny just recruited a guy who as a true freshman, you think is better than a watchlist finalist. I think Danny must be doing something right.

Honest question that I probably won’t get any serious answers to: what has anyone on this board done to warrant a better opinion than the coaches on what plays to call? I’m guessing very few???? Any???

UND-FB-FAN.......the thing is most of us doing mind constructive criticism because it has taken much longer to get where we are an still quite a ways to go. I'm ok with some things being questioned and what not. But the volume of negative stuff over and over gets so old, it's multiple times on the daily. You position yourself perfectly to be the I told you so guy if we lose or something goes wrong. And your comment the other days about...."how about we try and win them all". I mean really, you don't think the rest of us want to try and win them all, c'mon. I would probably say more negative stuff from time to time, but I don't have too because you've probably already said it ten times that day. 

 

I mean the season is about to start and it's a great time of the year, but the board is a sh*t show right now....it's barely even enjoyable. 

He is really starting to sounds like a UND version of lakes (El Chapo) over on Bisonville. Not all takes are bad, but the repetitive bashing of the whole program gets really old.

I do check out practices from time to time when walking by or biking by.  The last time i saw a guy at a position that didn't look like the others was Matt Waletzko.  He just looked massive...moved well out there.  I assumed he would start in week one by what i saw but it took a few weeks or an injury to get in the staring lineup around week five or six iirc.  Jerry reminds me of him.  If you didn't know anything about UND's qb's and you checked out a practice or scrimmage you would think he's qb1.  He stands out from the other three that much to me.

so....

had a good commit but left for FBS....cedric case is currently playing qb  at central missouri (d2)

picked up schuster....no one else at the d1 level wanted him so pretty easy to pickup

quincy had hype....but i guess couldn't throw or run?

fenney...jury is stil out but looks promising...

 

So since 2013 our qb's were are...

2013

joe mollberg-highly sought after...sucked...moved to TE

ryan bartels-played a bit than lost spot to keaton---had fbs offer but ending up sucking

jake hanson-local kid

kurt palendach-left after one year after seeing that mollberg was the future....currently a pro quarterback....in Japan.

2014

keaton-best qb bubba's had...gutty fast smart qb

2015

brad heidelberg-horrible

2016

eric prater-?

2017

brock boltman-moved to wr and renamed the brockstar

nate "axel" ketteringham-second best qb bubba's had....should never have another down for the sioux after cussing out fans on the catwalk

andrew zimmerman-played a bit...got hurt...not good.

2018

noah grover?

2019

tommy schuster-current starter-1 playoff win (covid season)

2020 spring

quincy vaughn-moved to te...can't throw or run

reid neal-?

ethan postler-?

2021

trey feeney-current qb2

simon romfo-current qb3

2022

colton hackel?

2023

jerry kaminski-soon to be qb1

Your vendetta against Tommy is so pathetic. Also, this two gloves nickname isn't catching on. Maybe give it a rest.

Tommy is a Jerry Rice finalist.  He will go down as one of the Best QB's at UND.

I’m just reminiscing with what could have beens. Remember Cam Kuksa? Him and Reyes came in together and Kuksa played as a true freshman, I believe Reyes had an injury. Then Kuksa had I believe a back or spinal injury? Kid could hit. 

That is how I remember it.

jerry kaminski-soon to be qb1

 

FWIW, I do think Kaminski will be a stud, or I definitely hope he will be, but it is pretty simple to make the statements you made in your own context.

 

picked up schuster....no one else at the d1 level wanted him so pretty easy to pickup

Could also be .... picked up schuster .... diamond in the rough, and owns the bulk of UND's D1 QB records.... Doesn't make what you said false, but you're also only giving a portion of the story.

 

Quincy Vaughn - moved to TE .... can't throw or run

Could also be ... not a great passer, but dominant, essential and reliable in short yardage situations. Could play a significant role this year.

 

Jerry Kaminski-soon to be qb1

Could also be .... Unproven at the college level, but possesses everything UND would like to see out of their future QB. While inexperienced he shows the making of a starter and will only get better with a year of seasoning. (Even if he had to sit 2 years; 1 as a RS and 1 as a backup, he would step in at about the same time Carson Wentz did. I'm sure the kid wants to play but lets not pretend he turned down playing for Alabama to come to UND either).

 

Point is .... anyone can tell a one sided story. Give full context to what you are trying to say and people might take your view a little more seriously.

[UND-FB-FAN]

All you gentle, fragile souls will be okay. May I perhaps suggest competitive ballroom dance as an alternative sport for ya’ll? @90siouxfan @Teeder11 @UND1983 - Best wishes to you all.

Now, back to football. Go Hawks!

His current starter owns about every UND QB record (or will) and is on the Walter Payton Award watch list. Recruited. Developed. Retained. 

Oh, and you pointed out Feeney is here and could play now (but maybe not as a freshman). Recruited. Developed. Retained.

You answered your own question yiu asked yesterday regarding “what has Danny done”? - he’s turned a QB that no D1s wanted into a top QB in the most challenging conference in FCS.

Also managed to keep his back-up on campus the last few years (who flipped from his Old Dominion commitment), find a role for him and has created a pretty impressive QB room both on and off the field.

[UND-FB-FAN]

Danny Freund is good coach. He’s the coach of the future (and present) as of now. 
 

Just my opinion at this point …

[YAWNSON]

Will the catwalks at Alerus be open this year?

I agree with you on this one as well. Glad he was named Associate HC and can start playing a bigger role now and can be seen as the next head coach....hopefully not in the too distant future.

I understand you have an agenda, but think I just read a story in the GF Herald that tickets sales have gone up consistently since UND returned to the MVFC.

No agenda here...but 54-45 since 2014 isn't good enough for me.  I believe that we are doing the right things to right the ship...and 8-3 is the expectation this year.  It's not a bad thing to have expectations.  If they aren't met...there will be empty seats in the Alerus for non-SU games...that's a fact!

 

Also...you don't think having 3-4 conference opponents within driving distance has led to increased ticket sales?  That and having NDSU/SDSU on the schedule every year?  I'm not so sure that ticket sales have gone up because there are more diehard UND fans.  It's more so that opponent interest is higher.

Show me that it is?  The good of it is if we take care of business in our big games at home this fall that growth will happen!

I’d hope they are! Got them somewhat re-opened at the end of last year. Hope Martinson and Chaves didn’t Shane their minds!

Set up a meeting with Chaves and he'll give you the numbers

I don't think it takes a detailed presentation to figure out that replacing Portland State on your schedule with SDSU will help attendance.

That said that wasn't the focus of my original point.  My point remains that if UND is staring down 6-5 the bandwagon will have a lot of room.  We've seen that happen before...it'll happen again.  I'm cautiously optimistic that that won't be an issue this year, but others aren't...and an argument can be made to justify why that is the case.
