Better than a USD rise. I don’t think they’ll have the staying power that UND eventually will. 

Football Alumni for USD are stepping up.  If that continues, USD will be staying longer than many think.

Behind two large donations, USD athletics has raised nearly $14 million since July

I just brought this up with my wife.  Based on the response from her and my kids, I hope other football alums can come through cuz I won't make a big dent if $14 million is the target.

Biggest thing I’m hearing we can all do, other than showing love to recruits on X, is signing up for the collective. Getting a flood of new people signing up would be huge.  Have heard there’s interest from FBS level kids, we just need the $$ to get them here.

Entry level is $25 a month. We all have higher priorities, but imagine being part of a program that moves UND football to the next level for about $1 a day.

I joined…hope I made it in time for the match!!! Nice to be supporting a public and positive process for UND. Can this 1883 do the t-shirts?

I’m starting to believe that UND’s starting QB and leading WR are not currently on the roster or known commits.

Interesting. The WR not as much, since that seemed fairly obvious the portal would be utilized for that position. Along with no clear cut #1 returning. QB much more interesting. Not sure what to make of that positional group or the route I hope they go.

Still hoping for no more than 10-12 guys entering.

Now to clarify, I don’t know this but I judge a lot by who the coaches follow on twitter. Can read a lot into those and I may read too much into it.

Got ya.

WR - lose Bo, I believe both Schaffner and Kupfer are graduating and won't be returning. Two as part of the incoming class. That positional group really does have to improve. Wouldn't mind seeing 1 enter the portal (anyone but Deng Deng and Korey Tai) and try bringing in 2 from the portal. 

QB - also has to improve. You have Feeney's spot that is unaccounted for. 

[Devils]

Wouldn't the Higgins kid be taking Feeney's scholly?  

Aside from Erkmann, Rucker, McNeal, and maybe Sutton I don't think there's many departures from the defense that would be harmful.  Hopefully don't lose any more OL.

[forksandspoons]

WR room needs to be completely revamped. Having 1 stud WR isn’t enough. Hope they go get 3-4 game changers that have shown they can play at this level.

Good point. Not graduating anyone, Higgins would cancel out Feeney. 
 

Re-defense. With a new system, new coaches, interested what a lot of these guys can do. Hope we see limited turnover outside of #’s game to fit new system. Retain & develop.

I agree we need better athletes at that position.

But our WR’s probably wouldn’t have looked as bad if we had a QB that knew how to throw a football.

Seems it's been several years since I've seen a 'wow' play from a WR, outside of Bo.

It’s been 11 years since we had a lethal WR group.

Any chance Hardin makes his way back here at some point?

I’m sure there’s a chance. Not sure about now at all. I think Greg would be a decent recruiter too.
