I’m for game-changers at all positions. If they’re good and want to be at UND, then get them to campus, as the rest will sort its self out. 

Yea, chippahs

Should be a fun week or two! It appears the coaching staff is following a lot of recent D1 transfer portal players. Hope they can find some big time, immediate impact guys on the defensive side!

If you're the GM, what's the ideal # of players UND would have enter the Spring portal? Clearly, cannot lose any starters or ideally, anyone on the two-deep. Are we thinking the lower the better? 5 to 7 range seems ideal to me. That mixed with some of the guys that left the program prior to spring ball (ex: Teiken), gives you 10 spots to add. Looking what's happening to USD, seems like an incredibly pivotal time.

At least 10

I agree with this!

Really? I though Langden College was supposed to be a real dude. Is he not developing or just wanting something else?

There was a lot of hype around him but keep in mind this isn’t the staff he committed to. He gave it a shot and maybe it wasn’t what he was looking for. Or the staff said he’s not what they’re looking for.

I think Tom then noted that they took their names out of the portal in what looks like a typo/error situation

I think he was saying they appeared and then disappeared and now they’re back in.

I've said this before......In the past 8-10 years or so, to me guys who ended up being our best players were not the ones we were all exited about. 

And a few examples of guys we were all excited about  never panned out to be what we thought. Someone like Sammy Fort, many were really excited about him. Q had some hype coming in, ended up great for our program but never a starting QB. There was that kid that had a PWO from Oregon I think, lasted one year I believe. There is a whole long list of guys like that. 

Then you've got guys like Wanzek, Santiago, Olivier, Belquist......nobody said Boo about them when they were recruited. So honestly right now, I don't get too worked about any guy we get who is highly thought of. Not saying I don't like to see us get guys like that, I just don't get as excited about it like I use to. Need to see it translate on the field. Maybe this will be more of a thing under Schmidt.  

The hype over Deng was pretty high, that is one I'm hoping really pans out.

me too.  No idea who but I noticed a safety from Washington State entered the portal and some UND followed.  I wonder if Eric recruited him while coaching in WSU.

I think this could be a local victory of a high school kid.

Based on some social media tells, this is the heavy, heavy favorite. Would be, I mean all sign are pointing towards it, a massive commit. Imo, would have ranked him as my #1 in my hope they commit wishlist.
