Probably not a popular take but remember Bubba and staff also offered a lot of guys with good offer lists but didn't land them.  Granted, it's nice to see these offers go out but time will tell if the new staff can land any of them.

I agree, with all due respect to Bubba, in my mind I like having Schmidt sitting in their living room.

Would be nice to see on the offer posts where these players are from

seeing an offer post doesn’t mean much to me without knowing where they are from

at least I could look up the school

Hopefully that will be a strength of Eric and his entire staff. Gene Murphy was arguably the best recruiter in the history of UND football. He recruited the players mothers as much, if not sometimes more, than the players.

Having those new facilities almost finished will help. So will Schmidt's passion for building something special.

Good point. But I wonder how much influence moms (and dads for that matter) really have these days. Social Media seems to be the god for this generation and the role of parent has dissipated as a result. Except for the parent who monitors their children's Social Media.

Right on, imo, the background still doesn’t look good. Hopefully something that improves the next Junior days. What they have had the last few years for official visits is great (including this past transfer cycle w/ current staff).

A lot for most kids, however your point is well taken. The outside influences including social media, advisors, and agents for some kids can be significant.

Agreed. I’m confident Schmidty can relate to 17 yo kids 100x better than Bubba could. Schmidty will be - and perhaps based on transfers already is - a better recruiter than Bubba. Only time will tell.

Big change now is the transfer portal. Build some of the relationships early and they could pay off down the road if a kid is in a situation where they are looking at a full depth chart in front of them.
