Popular Post Teeder11 Posted June 22 Popular Post Share Posted June 22 1 hour ago, SiouxBoys said: How come you don't respond with that when somebody claims a commit isn't good because of a lack of offers? Because message board law dictates that it is always easier to be glass half empty, as it is easier to go negative than it is to go out on a limb and be positive -- even to be moderately hopeful. If you are negative and wrong, eating crow still tastes good because your team overachieved. If your positive and your team flops, you've got no similar silver lining. Going ultra negative all the time is really a gutless stance. Not aimed at anyone in particular -- just a general indictment of message board culture all around -- here and elsewhere. 1 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never cared how many other offers a commit gets. Others on here think it is a huge indicator of recruiting success or failure. Ultimately, it's the results on game day that matter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Seems pretty straight forward. Competing offers is what people look at when a player commits and that correlates with the hype that player receives. The more / “better” offers the more hype. Most importantly, other programs are validating that player. Far from a guarantee and walk-ons and UND being the only FCS offers can end up more impactful. If UND ever wants to take that next step, they will have to up their recruiting. Winning recruiting battles. Not sure how that’s controversial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why you've never said that, but you jumped at the chance to downplay the "loaded class" comment. Don't worry though, Teeder answered for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UND-FB-FAN Posted June 22 Popular Post Share Posted June 22 Only time will tell on recruits; there are many variables. History is a fairly good predictor of the future. There are new individuals that provide a little bit of hope; new offensive coordinator, new strength and conditioning coach. The new facilities are outstanding. But our current head coach’s established philosophy and game day demeanor does not provide much hope or optimism, in my opinion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux94 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I'm sure there are opposites of this, but seems like many of the more highly thought of recruits we've gotten.....never turned into true stars. Molberg, Cloud, Sammy Fort, Q....and many others that had an FBS walk on offers or were highly thought of. Not to diminish them as they did contribute but were never all conference type of players. Santiago, Oliveira, Wanzek, Belquist and a whole host of others that were not as highly thought of became big names for UND. Was Turner a big time recruit? Man we could use a guy like him at OLB again! That said, winning recruiting battles for guys with other quality FCS offers is a good thing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Did a bit of a deep dive into the current offers. There are a lot of current offers, varying in competing offers. A pretty even mix between a lot, a few and none. Below is my wish list. The grade is based on competing offers and corelates to my excitement level. As always, a disclaimer of just because the player has a lot of competing offers does not mean they'll pan out at the collegiate level and vice versa. *This is not all of the offers* *Likely I missed a few exciting ones as well* A Devine (OLB) - MN Wagner (OL) - MN Rehberg (DE) - NE McGregor (OL) - IA Kramlich (DB) - ND Bindel (OL) - MO Collins (ATH) - MO B+ Ackerman (DE) - NE McCarty (OL) - MN B Kies (LB) - IA Bates (WR) - IL Arnold (DB) - KS Grace (LB) - MO Broderick (ATH) - ND 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
