I'm thinking we'd be pretty excited if we had transfers like this coming in.

Just noticed that Youngstown is bringing in 14 new transfers mid-semester. I followed this pretty closely this off-season, up to this point, it's been a disaster for UND. It's worth noting. If the defense is not fixed next year (3rd year in a row), through youth / development / portal, it's 100% on the Coaching staff. It's so frustrating watching programs you hope are peer programs (NDSU / SDSU / Montana) all riding this incredible momentum. On the flip side, it feels like this program is about to fall off a cliff. Everyone is seeing it coming, but my perception is this coaching staff cannot fix this. Over their heads. 

Let it play out, but if it plays out how it seems it will, it won't be a surprise.

Normally they outkicked their coverage at FBS.  FBS schools miss on players, too, doesn't mean they are going to be a contributor at FCS.  I would guess it's 50/50 on what you are getting with FBS drop downs.  Obviously a Power 5 is more likely to just be buried behinds tons of talent and is more attractive.

It takes more than scholarship to attract players and right now we don’t have NIL program in place and second we just don’t have national ability to get media presence out nationally to attract players here. Not a lot of players want to come live here with the weather we have and just another FCS program with little national press so we are program fighting to just to get the even come and visit. Most of our transfers have either come from the area or have played in the conference all of the Dakota schools I believe have had this problem and we had least of media exposure.

It sure feels that way right now.  What a hard crash down this has been from the feeling after October 14th.

Honestly he still needs to gain 20+ lbs unless he's strong as an ox...when was the last time we had a DT that commanded a double team every down???

That's my first thought...

One of my biggest frustrations with this defense has been trying to plug poor-fitting body types into it.  If we are going to recruit 250-260 lb DEs and 275 lb DTs...we probably should be playing a 4-3 base.  I know a lot of what we do is nickel now due to spread offenses and what not...but the 3-4 in my opinion is highly dependent on your 3 guys up front being able to eat blockers, command double teams and get penetration into the backfield.  We've lacked that the last few years...and it really hurts us in my opinion...

100% correct.  Nose Tackle is the tip of the spear. The more offensive lineman the 3 down lineman occupy, the more plays the linebackers make!

I really enjoyed watching Tank play.  But, I think that Griffin really played well this year also.  I really hope that he has another year on the roster.

Said this before but we need to get rid of this horrible 3-4 defense. It just does not work in the FCS because you can't get the type of DL. Plus nobody runs the veer or option offense anymore that the 3-4 is designed to stop. Might work for Bama, Georgia, Notre Dame, ect. but not at UND. It's not the 80's or 90's anymore when that type of defense was more popular. 

[UND-FB-FAN]

Simple alignment is not the issue. Teams rarely are in base defense nowadays anyways; almost always in what you’d call sub packages (nickel). The issues on defense are recruiting, development, and, probably the biggest, the brainpower (or lack thereof) behind the defense.
