UND-FB-FAN Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The UND football problem is complex/multifactorial, which makes any argument towards a single issue laughable. Need improvement across the board. I can clearly say the NIL and facility recent upgrades are moves toward improvement; but the coaching, recruiting and motivation is still beyond questionable.

Don’t disagree but NIL is the one part of this fans control vs the administration. It’s likely the most important part of player retention and recruitment right now in college sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux>Bison Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I rather take the NIL money to pay our good coaches to stay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 There's lots of great coaches who have seen their players leave for the money. I highly doubt Saban retires if NIL was not the way it is. I thought it was to allow the player to get some money for HIS jersey that got sold and for which he got nothing (except a free college scholarship). It's just paying guys now even before they get a jersey. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I know we don't do optimism here very well but let's try. At the very least, I have questions that I don't know the answers to. Concentrating exclusively on the offense. I would make the argument that things went perfectly this off-season with the QB, RB, WR, TE positional groups. if I was the GM, everything would have happened according to plan. I believe the portal exits of Schuster and Wright were mutual. We'll see if that was the right call on Schuster, but I'm happy they did it. Turnover in general is healthy (there's an ideal amount). Those four positional groups had the ideal amount. Key Covid year returners in Belquist and Vaughn. Offensive-Line. There's a huge difference as well between Graduates / Portal exits in the Fall vs Spring. How did the Coaching staff feel about the O-Line following Spring ball. Starting 5 Two-Deep Was Egunjobi part of the two-deep following Spring ball, or was his exit directly tied with his "rank" within the group Do they feel confident they have a starting 5 as things stand right now. Are the guys they are offering in the portal right now players that they NEED to start? Or are they more key reserves? I really have no idea on any of those O-Line questions. All very important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
