Is that just for people to enter the portal? I assume once they are in the portal then commit anytime them want. Correct?

 

Correct

I believe so. I just hope we don’t lose any of our Top RBs. If we have multiple offers out how does the current roster take that? That goes for any position. Do they feel like they are trying to be replaced? It’s a lot to process for these kids I’m sure.

Another possible position of need is running back, where UND is top heavy with Gaven Ziebarth and Sawyer Siedl, who missed spring ball recovering from an injury.

Young running back Colton Brunell missed the second half of spring ball with an injury and the Hawks likely need to add some insurance at the position.

hopefully coaches are communicating, but we have definitely seen RB injuries in the past. You need a full stable! Guys can get hurt quickly at that position **knock on wood**

Bishop was a bit of a disappointment

Good luck to him! He made a lot of contributions to the program. I think he started the Nebraska game before getting hurt which is unfortunate.

That injury looked tough.  I am sure he had to put in alot of work to get back on the field.

Great start! This was needed

[forksandspoons]

Let’s go! Big time need! 3 star recruit out of HS last year. Had an SDSU offer too. They seem to know a good TE when they see one. 

[Sioux94]

Every time we get a really good TE prospect, I always think we are going to start throwing to the TE more and it never happens. Think Schmidt mentioned once about throwing to TE's.....so we'll see what happens.

Tom Miller reports McCloud and Kinser entered the portal late yesterday. McCloud had an INT in the spring game.

I said before the portal opened I was hoping between 5 - 7 would enter. The # was 6. Imo, nobody who would have been on the two-deep. This coaching staff absolutely nailed the portal exits, both in the Fall & Spring. One giant piece left. Getting 6-8 guys from the portal. They will be competitive next year.

Now that spring ball is over, it’s time to get a few immediate impact portal commitments! Excited and confident the staff will land a few. The vibe just seems different right now with the new staff.
 

Not to mention the best facilities and athlete training set up around! Can live in a building connected to the biggest  weight room in the Midwest, indoor practice facility, etc. and don’t even have to go outside.

I know this is considered a selling point, but sounds like they're being babied to me!  I mean, come on, I thought we wanted our guys to be tough.   Even Coach Schmidt told his son to stick his face in the ND wind after they landed at the airport.

It’s massive selling point and it’s already been a recruiting asset. It also ties the new facilities seamlessly into the history of the athletics programs and preexisting stadium.

We could just put them in quonset huts I suppose. With wood burning stoves for winter. 😝

Do the hockey players ever have to go outside (assuming they are taking their classes online)?

I wish they would go outside, maybe they’d actually win some games for a change and make the tournament. Too much time spent in the altitude training room??

Jason Thome commits to SDSU.
