Herein lies the problem; the overall culture of UND athletics remains a major concern despite the fact the (necessary) football coaching change happened. Hopefully the culture and philosophy of UND athletics will positively change soon, also …

I think a book could be written about it. It’s been a crazy last 5-10 years for UND athletics.

We will see. I think with same OC and experience he stays and gets the 2nd nod. Scholarship or not there really is no where for anyone on the bubble to go. A few players have left the team the past few weeks that were on scholarship so it does make room for transfers. Someone on here or somewhere did the scholarship math a while  ago.

we will probably find out if the "project 9 man qb" was bubba's idea or fruetche's......if simon starts game one (good lawd) we know freuchte is destined for d3 defensive back coaching spot somewhere at a hyphen school in wisconsin...if simon is cut or 4th string we know it was bubba and look what happended to him.

Johnson is coming in for one reason and  one spot at QB1. Last year sure was odd to watch. I think Simon is two or 3 at the lowest if healthy. I can see Higgins being in the mix if he stays at QB.

@MinnDak anyone leave the last few weeks that would have been an impact player this year?

I think Tieken would have been a better fit in this 4-2 scheme than the 3-4

I know it’s taboo to talk badly about Moorhead but those guys have been busts for most part.  Certainly no high enders of the bunch

Seth Anderson? Will basically end up being an almost 3 year starter on the OL.

you found ONE.  How many have there been?

[AJS]

Didn’t notice at the time, but Teiken wasn’t mentioned in the 360 preview either. I will say, better before Spring ball. 
 

Any other big names? Teiken going to portal out? Done with football? 
 

@MinnDak you did say before that you didn’t expect any other starters / close to starters to leave. Clearly, you meant from the spring roster (which a guy like Teiken wouldn’t be on)?

Possible he still won't be healed up until the fall?

Teiken was the main one and couple others left. He was the only close to starter I believe. There isn’t much being said after them. Just with the current landscape in football it would be unlikely any of the 1-2 deep finding a new home unless more transfers are brought in on D and scholarships are cut and a player doesn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. The roster is plenty big but most spots aren’t super deep and anyone that’s a backup is only one injury away.
