Thank you!  We will always be UND Fans.  Everyone treated Jack very well during his time as a Fighting Hawk! 

We will have great memories from our time in North Dakota.  I have enjoyed participating in the Fan Forum.  G

Jack was one of my favorite players.  I would guess that he was a great locker room guy, too.   I will definitely miss him.  Hope he has success at his next stop.  Psalm 32:8.

5-11 with limited  scrambling skills and arm strength, I would say D2.  He is a great game manager but with limited upscale to his game.  

Possible, but I think another FCS school is more likely. I'm sure there are some schools out there that need an experienced guy to bridge them a year while they develop a younger guys. Or someone to create a QB competition with a current started who isn't very good.

Tommy isn't going power 5 (even that would be super cool!), but there could even be some MAC schools that would give a guy with his experience and numbers a look. I get there are plenty out there who think he was mediocre across the board, but his numbers don't lie either. He may not have all of the measurables that some kids do, but he did a ton for UND. Personally, I think our deficiencies have more to do with poor situational play calling, but that's just me. 

I would think Tommy's landing spot will also heavily depend on school programs and location. Some in Michigan or Illinois?? E Illinois, W Illinois (moving conference)?? E Michigan? I really have no clue what type of QB situations those schools have right now. Or maybe he will go D2 route. I suppose it depends how much does he want to play vs get some more scholly money and schooling.

Anyone know if UND 360 is going to do a season wrap up show?

I was thinking MAC or GLIAC......

I keep checking the site to see if there's a write-up and/or podcast after the Sac St. game.

Thinking about this some more, they are probably going to wait until they believe the transfer portal situation is done or at least close to done.

Kelly said he's waiting for the "dust to settle" before he does one.

I wonder if he's privy to some "dust" that hasn't been "settled" yet...

Could be?!? or he's just waiting for the right time to talk about this miserable football season that just ended.

I hope he is critical of the coaching staff and doesn’t sugar coat things

bubba said he had to look at himself too, if so he has did a poor job of that the past years

If he actually was doing that, he’d retire. It’s just lip service at this point.

You're basing this off of absolutely nothing.

[Kab]

That’s exactly right but I’m sure players talk amongst themselves about the way these coaches called games this year

if you don’t think they do I’m not sure what to say 

[AJS]

Time to take a step back and reevaluate two weeks from now when the dust has settled. This program needs something to happen to stop the bleeding. 

[GoodGood]

Any blue chippers left on defense?

This is the reality of college athletics now. Until a player tweets "I'm entering the transfer portal because I'm sick of this coaching staff", your opinion is based on nothing.

I don’t think that would be good for the players recruitment…

They won’t say that in public or a tweet

would hurt them in finding another place to play

Thanks captain obvious. Just pointing out that your opinion is based on nothing other than your pessimistic feelings.

I think Ben was among the best transfers we brought in. I feel he is a bit undersized for a DE but made up for it often times with motor. That being said progression is required in the trenches and guys that are 25 to 30lbs heavier but just as athletic as he is, is what we are looking for. 275 to 280. I hope Ben lands on his feet.
