Transfer Portal 2023

[UND-FB-FAN]

UND has regressed in the recruiting of high level athletes. This needs to change. So many positions on this team need to be more athletic, including safety, linebacker, receiver, and, dare I say it … quarterback. 
 

hopefully the portal is utilized really well this year 

I’m still skeptical the current staff will know how to position and use the student-athletes … but oh well

I thought there was general consensus that UND’s recruiting has trended upwards recently. Maybe I am not remembering correctly?  Or maybe there was but seeing them on campus has proved otherwise?

I think it can be argued that the overall talent has actually improved, but it’s not by enough. A few positions may get better over a 4 year period, but then others fall back. Just not enough overall improvement. 
 

also, though, remember that UND hasn’t won more than 7 games in a season since 2016 …

When is the last time we threw a quick slant inside. Not a full straight across crossing pattern but a quick slant. We see teams do those all of the time against us with success. We have probably done some I'm sure, but it just seems like our passing scheme could be improved quite a bit. Maybe it will with Trey or Jerry. 

Because Tommy can't see over the OL

Thank you to Tommy for all his years of hard work!

[sioux24/7]

Well I guess people get what they want. I really hope Tommy goes and tears it up. Guys super likable and a damn good QB no matter what everyone says. It was probably time to see something new but I think we may find ourselves missing what we had.

Good luck to Tommy wherever he goes and thank you for your contributions to UND!

I agree i hope excels where he goes. Maybe it was Danny who hampered his progress or was scared for him to throw it deap

 

we will see

Where's the meme @SIOUXFAN97?

Hoping this was a mutual decision reached with good will on both sides - have no reason to believe it wasn't.

I'm excited to see what Feeney can bring next season.

[Dustin]

Congrats on a record-breaking career at UND, Tommy.  

[Dustin]

Now, if we can get some coaches in the transfer portal....

[AJS]

Best of luck, Tommy! This was a really important off-season step. I feel better about the direction of the program heading into next year than I did yesterday.

[sioux24/7]

I wonder if he may end up back at his original commitment, Ashland University. Grand Valley State always comes to mind too just because I’m familiar with them from the D2 days, no longer know anything haha. 

[F'n Hawks]

If we see the same !@#$ from Danny this doesn’t matter. 
 

I think this had to be done to get to the level we want. There is chance we will miss what we had but we have to take this risk.

There is a good chance a UND QB enters the portal.  Who that will be, we shall see.  Will be very telling of where this coaching staff is leaning towards who decides to make that decision. 

Well....I guess that answers my question!!!

That’s my guess. Wants to play close to home and will play at a lower level.

If it gets worse, we can then blame coaching

[gfhockey]

Or does Bubba and Danny have their excuse for next season that they have a young quarterback

If it gets worse, Bubba and Danny will be gone.

Well if Feeney ends up getting the nod, I guess we still have our blindside tackle.

Not a current UND transfer portal item but I see Chrysten Cochran has entered the portal again and has wrangled up an offer from Wyoming.  I thought he had a lot of potential that we didn't use.....

I’m thinking red flag when a player hits the portal more than once.
