I don't blame him for accepting a scholarship, but if UNI is recruiting a signed player isn't that tampering? No, in this case the player was a walk-on... Walk-ons do not sign and are not subject to an NLI (National Letter of Intent)... For signed players: The NLI includes a recruiting ban, meaning other schools cannot recruit a player that is signed. That player would need to get released from the NLI..

Coaches have a good scenario with 2 solid QBs... Football is subjective and coaches will make choices that they feel are helpful towards their future employment. Cream rises to the top; these issues have a way of working themselves out. Important thing is to have and maintain competition at every position to ensure they get the best out of every player.

There is no signing for a walk-on. I recall the Big12 had a Conference rule that a walkon couldn't move to another school in the conference without being released. However in this case it's a moot point because he never attended full time and wasn't on the team in Fall. College cost is not cheap so it's logical to take the scholly money... Most walk-ons don't get scholly money until JR or SR year if then... Usually the rule is the walkon has to be at least be a 2 on depth chart to get money...

The corner scheme is conservative anyhow...4-3 zone, not gonna see a lot of press, man, cover 0, and definetly not in the Spring Game. With the starting corners returning I expect that group to be fine. The spotlight will be on the DL...
Not uncommon to give QBs/WRs/offense room to work being defense is usually ahead of the offense; not gonna see many blitz packages or man coverage.

Crazy how early teams start the recruiting process...I know of a 2020 with multiple offers.
If a kid doesn't have an offer by the start of his senior year might have to drop down a level or might not happen... Either way players have to be part of the process early because recruiting has started...
FBS - Frosh/Soph/Juniors; plus a few Senior offers mostly line FCS- Juniors/Seniors D2,NAIA,JUCO- Seniors and post signing day

Early aggressive recruiting payed off; OL/DL seem to have been the 2017 focus. Hopefully 1 or 2 can make an early impact...

Wednesday will be interesting... Klug is from Kansas, but his offer came Jan 13th with no indications of switching to Kansas... 247's crystal ball has Chuol 100% to Missouri, keep your fingers crossed.

I'm hearing through the grapevine, our commits are getting offers from other MVFC and P5 schools. They're trying to poach our players lol. Centennial's Chuol is rumored to have been offered by An SEC school and a MAC school hope we don't lose him late. Peter Klug also one of the players. Along with One of our TE's. I've also been told that the players are turning them down! Wow these players really are special!!!!

Is UNI recruiting him as a RB? I know he was recruited at USD for CB. I figured he would switch if he got a FBS offer. I'm a little surprised he flipped to another FCS unless the position preference came into play. Measurables are closer to a RB than an CB... On 247 his measurable's state the following: Ht 5-8 Wt 178 40 4.69. I do think the recruited position makes a difference and as always distance from home makes a difference. Recruiting has a lot of moving parts, anyhow best of luck, hope he has success in the classroom and football field.

This scenario is not all that uncommon. I recall Washington state pulled an offer last sec from a kid where my older played and resulted in the HC no longer allowing WSU to recruit their kids. Recruiting has changed though, there are numerous recruiting agents in our area that make a living landing kids plus all the online available tools. Hopefully the losers aren't the kids....

1) 30 is the scholly limit per year 2) Usually 85 kids will be on scholly, but FCS only has 63 *FULL* schollys so they are divided into 85, however the coaches deem best. 3) Roster size is 95, meaning the limit to attend fall camp. So 10 non-scholly kids can participate in fall camp. 4) Any player not on the 95 man roster can join the team when school starts, which limits the possibility for a non-scholly kid to break into the lineup. Now- looking at the last 2 recruiting seasons 1) Last year hit the 30max and this year will hit max so 30+30-95, which means the majority of the 60 will be RS Frosh and Frosh. 2) Kids that scholly is not renewed likely transfer, expect around 20 to leave the program *Keep seeing PWO, however alot of those kids are likely just walkons 1)Preferred walkon is a kid not on scholly, but is on the 95 man roster 2)This could change at anytime, there is no guarantee I understand a few guys becoming scholarship casualties, but 20 seems really high.... I played during the FCS era and I only remember a few rare instances of guys getting their scholarships pulled. I would actually be shocked if we had 20 guys leave before fall camp next year. My guess is there are a lot fewer full scholarship players on the roster than anyone realizes. One of the biggest challenges of playing in the FCS is the scholarship limit, and I am guessing Bob and his staff have carefully divided the 63 that we have. If we had 20 players leave in one off-season (without a coaching change), we could really put the program in a bad spot long term with regards to recruiting. You know every kid that is looking to transfer is talking about it with their high school coach, and it only takes 1 poor experience to get on that coach's bad side. As a staff, you need high school coaches to be comfortable sending players to you. If you don't think high school coaches have a huge part in recruiting, look at Brandon Valley. That coach won't let USD anywhere near his kids for some reason and they end up funneling all the talent to SDSU. Ah true kinda misleading... I meant kids in the program today scholly + no scholly and departures for various reasons... There are a lot of factors why kids leave, some grades, homesick, loss of love for the game, no path to play, loss or reduced scholly, etc.... So this is what I based my numbers on: 1)The program will usually have anywhere from 110 - 125 players so using the low number, just on walkon's the player count is 25... My guess this is an area where most kids are lost. 2)In a two year period you have to account for 60 accepted offers... Being the the majority of kids from the previous class are redshirted and the incoming class take up 30 schollys you end up with the majority of schollys assigned to freshman. Here is where decision time comes for the coaches because you brought in 60 and there were already 85 players on a partial or full scholly -minus the grads on scholly -soph,juniors, seniors will only have the 25 + openings from grads -usually walkon's that are at least a 2 (backup) will get a partial scholly, counting against the 85

CB: Improved: This may be my dark horse for most improved next year. We return major contributors in Harris, Judge, Rambo, and others. I have also heard impressive comments about **Mark Collins Jr, who redshirted. -agree

So...when you harp on finishing with 4 loses, you mean the 1 point loss to #15 WIU, a 3 point road loss to SIU, and 7 point loses (one on the road) to the #1 and #8 seeds in the FCS tournament? Right...OK...I get it... Like I said there is potential, however the playoff teams found a way to win the close ones and finish the season strong... This is how the MVFC playoff teams finished the last 4 games of the season: NDSU 4-0 Illinois State 3-1 Youngstown State 3-1 South Dakota State 3-1

Agree with Coyote Fan, I watched all games (half SDSU) minus the NDSU... Next year I can see more output from the frosh WRs and contribution from one or two redshirts at corner/safety/LB, however I'm not sure that will be enough to make the playoffs. The team displayed potential, however losing 4 in a row halted forward momentum. Ideally I'd like to see a swarming defense that starts with the front 4 and on offense the priority has to be establishing the run game (not via Streveler). Again, well stated Coyote Fan next season is a range projection 3-8 -> 7-4. The conference has parity and is tough, with that said I could see several wins/losses flip flopping next year.
