    Craig McDonald ...come on down ....

    That's certainly a glass-half-empty spin on the situation. We've done pretty well with DB's transferring in from quality programs like Chris Williamson from Florida, or Benjamin St Juste from Michigan. Not sure why people aren't a little more excited about another DB transfer, this time from...

    Craig McDonald ...come on down ....

    Correct. That's the worst case scenario. The best case scenario, is that we got a guy who played well in the Big-12, got run in the SEC before injury, is now fully healed & becomes a solid starter for us for the next three years.

    Craig McDonald ...come on down ....

    The way we use the nickel position is more like a hybrid linebacker, because we play a 4-2-5 base defense, with only 2 LB's. So our 'nickel' needs to act as a de facto 3rd LB, and thus be able to stand up against the run first, but also be a cover guy. Cedric Thompson, Chris Williamson, Justus...

    Visit with Montana St. transfer G Darius Brown II

    The bigger challenge is actually selling the other one, on minutes when we've just signed two veteran guards, have a sophomore returning who played a lot as a Freshman, and a 4* Freshman guard coming in who wants to play minutes at the 1. Hard to find a quality guy who wants to transfer into...

    Koi Perich Commits to Gophers!!!!!!!!!

    Antoine Winfield Jr being around the practice, and talking with Perich was great. In addition to that Perich also had a chance to chat with Dom Barber, another former Gopher safety with NFL cred, plus Tyler Nubin is projected as a 1st or 2nd rounder next year, and Jordan Howden may have moved...

    Zahir Rainer Commits

    I like that Dad had an 8 year NFL career. Dad understands standards, discipline & what it takes to be a pro. He sees that for his son here at the U.

    Jack Wilson commits

    This thread should be in the basketball forum, although Wilson has tried his hand at football. He will be a back-up Center with good size to give us some minutes behind Payne next season. The signing may not 'pop', but finding a mature, big body who's cool with a limited role has value. Solid...

    Knuth No Longer with Team

    Some posters are acting like Kramer is a linebacker gets reps at QB. Kramer obviously doesn't have the arm AK does (not many do), but he's serviceable. Tanner Morgan would be my comparison in terms of arm strength. Practice reports so far this season have Kramer looking really good, and making...

    Says who? How do you know?

    Bishop in the transfer portal

    Makes sense. Close to home.

    Current 2023 Scholarship outlook

    My guess: 2 CB's, 1 LB, 1 OL & 1 ????

    Knuth No Longer with Team

    One of the Dakota schools would make sense for Knuth.

    Knuth No Longer with Team

    - AK is the undisputed starter - Kramer is the undisputed back-up. - Viotto was getting as many, or more reps than Knuth was.

    Knuth No Longer with Team

    Yes. I remember trying to explain this over the winter here, and some struggling to understand. PJ'S motto is "the ball is the program", and PJ has been very conservative. Those who had Knuth ahead of the 5th year Sr weren't seeing the big picture. I feel VERY comfortable with Kramer as our #2...

    Official 2023 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    If the season started this Saturday, Shaw would probably be backing up Boe at Center, and Tyler Cooper at LG. The staff wants to upgrade the OL via the portal before Fall camp. Either a G or a T would be a take if they're a starting level guy like Filiaga was. It's all about getting the best...

    Official 2023 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    OL as well. The staff had a transfer LB on campus last week, will add at least one CB, if not two & will look for a Chuck Filiaga level starter to come in on the OL.
