Dustin Posted January 9 Posted January 9 1 hour ago, fightingsioux4life said: This spring will be a one-time harvest of FBS players because of the 105 player roster cap being put into place. Will the roster cap of 105 be the norm going forward (at least until rules change again)? If so, the 2025 "FBS players" you speak of (on FBS rosters, but probably not playing much) will be FCS players in 2026 and beyond. they're the same players, whichever way you slice it. The key will be recruiting that "in-betweener" to UND instead of him going to our rivals. 1 Quote

The key will be recruiting that "in-betweener" to UND instead of him going to our rivals. I imagine it will remain in place going forward. An average FBS player could project to being an above average player in FCS. So even if other FBS programs snatch up the best in the portal this spring, UND could noticeably improve itself by being aggressive in the spring portal period. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Has the deadline passed on transfer in players to enroll at UND for the Spring semester? Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Is it safe to assume that all these transfers are starters for next year - or at least two deep? Three deep? Quote

Prolly, like 1000% sure, need some LB funds/spots to free up in or shortly after Spring Ball then find/sign a few more anchors in the middle before fall. I don't think we can effectively stop the run with current makeup of roster. 4 Quote
Sioux94 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 12 hours ago, Dustin said: I think you just came up with the name of UND's new recruiting strategy. Is Orlando coming back next year? If so does he drop a couple pounds so he can be a bit more agile? Was listed at 285 on the 2024 roster. 285 isnt that big though so they'dprobablywant him to stay at that weight if he came back? . I counted 13 on 2024 roster not including Beach or Orlando. Then 2 DL incoming through portal so far. Although not 100 percent sure if any of the 13 i counted have entered the portal and left. Quote

Would expect departures after spring ball and then the subsequent recruiting and arrival of defensive anchors (DL, edge, LBs). Big opportunity this spring with the large amount of pending available FBS transfer players… 1 Quote

forksandspoons Posted April 8 Author Posted April 8 8 days away from the spring portal opening. I feel like the staff crushed it during the winter portal, so I’m very excited to see if they can bring in some FBS DL, LBs, and Edge. Need those positions to be very disruptive players. A couple monsters on the interior DL would be like Christmas in April. Maybe Schmidt will reach out to Deboer and ask him if he’s got some guys that are buried on the depth chart?! Quote
