COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Bonjour, Sioux - GF Herald

Looks like both players got some FBS attention...nice recruits for Coach Mussman.

[UND Fan]

Does anyone have any insight yet as to who will be UND preferred walk-ons this fall?

Also, any info on Duraney White, the Canadian who had supposedly committed to the Sioux?

I haven't even heard Mussman make reference to preferred walk-ons. Anyone else?

That's been posted there for some time:

Not sure how accurate this is, but this was on www.allcanadagridiron.com today:

I saw him at the UND basketball games last weekend, and he's very tall--about 6'5".

Sorry, that was longer than a week ago. That exceeds my memory duration protocol specifications.

Maybe White is going to play ball at UND but isn't going to be on scholarship

I have noticed that you guys seem to be hitting Canada pretty hard this year. Historically, have players out of Canada been able to make the transition to the American style game or is it difficult for them? Also, are there any Big-Time players that the general public has heard of that have come out of Canada?(i.e. been stars for UND or other colleges, or made it to the league)

Dave Fennell.

Schultz and Fennell are/were near cult status for CFL fans.

[BigGame]

Mike Juhasz and Tim Prinson are a few that come to mind as well.

Also a DE that was drafted into the CFL in the around 96-97, but I can't recall his name.

My theory (with really nothing insider-related to base it on): there is a delay in paperwork, either admissions or NCAA. I know that at least on the admissions side, since he is from Quebec there are some extra requirements, like a TOEFL test and such.

[Bigdog42]

Donovan Dawson?

Dwayne Ell

[UND92,96]

Dwayne Ell

Oops--you're right. I knew his first name started with a "D".

[GeauxSioux]

Milson Jones. Unfortunately, his became a sad story.

I hope you are right and that we see him in a Sioux uniform.

Mike Juhasz: One of UND's most prolific wide receivers, 14th overall selection in CFL Draft

In addition to being one of UND's great football players, Fennell also has been a very successful businessman. He recently sold one of his goldmines for $1.5 billion.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses

[UND92,96]

Also, any info on Duraney White, the Canadian who had supposedly committed to the Sioux?

Allcanadagridiron.com recently took his name off the list of signees and/or commitments, so apparently he's not coming to UND after all.

Seth Wisthoff has been quite impressive in track so far this spring. He's thrown the shot 60'4" already. Jim Kleinsasser's class B record of 62'2" could possibly be within his reach.
