2020 roster.

[Project-Badass]

New roster is up on gojacks.com. Not seeing Tylen Small, Andrew Mueller, or Malachi Johnson in addition to the ones we already knew. Interestingly, Grant Schmidt is still listed.

[UWMandSDSU]

Matt Connors also transfer to Augie.
If he would have stayed he would have / could have probably been starting QB.

Well, Zimmer has full authority on what gets posted in those things. A comment gets submitted and he approves it if he wants to show up in the chat. So, if he had some integrity and didn't want to contribute to rumors like that, he definitely has that capability. He could either choose to not post it, or post it and dispel the rumor. He seems to like to let things linger recklessly.

Did Zimmer not pay on a bet he owed you or something? Where's the "...some integrity..." comment coming from?

I've had issue with tenor of some of his content, but maybe he figured we could realize that a guy posting as "Man Man" or whatever the heck the guy's screenname was, and who almost exclusively posted rumors about players, coaches' unpopularity, cultural incongruence etc., was likely a closet Bison fan residing in Manfred, ND.

The bad thing about that type of chat is that anyone can do a drive-by and spread all kinds of made up sh*t and not get called out. If someone posted that here, it wouldn't take long to get corrected. But so few people actually take part live in those chats that stuff slips through without being challenged.

CJ Wilson is working out with the team since school started. Be careful of the trash rumors you’re reading on Zimmers chat.

Re: 2020 roster.

Someone commented on Zimmer's sport chat last week that CJ Wilson has left the program. Probably not surprising given the running back depth we have, but assume he would have continued to be given a lot of touches.
Imagine there will be more to come.

No idea if it’s true but he could never stay healthy.

Re: 2020 roster.

I would hold on before we take what a poster said on Zim's chat for being 100% accurate.

That person sure unloaded some rather uncomplimentary material in the chat.

Re: 2020 roster.

Good breakdown, Mnjackrbt. 9-2 would be a good stretch goal.

UND loses starters and statistical leaders at QB, RB, and WR and a couple of LBs, don't they?

If so, I think the Jacks' chances should be closer to 65-70% assuming they're relatively healthy.

I'm really hoping the odds of defeating the Bison are better than 20%.

Re: 2020 roster.

Here is how I see the three deep at this point...

QB: Gibbs/Heide, Nelson (I'm one of those folks that is really hyped about Gronowski).
RB: Strong, Wilson, Blakley
FB: Morgan, Madison
WR1: Cade Johnson, Bauer, VanderWerf
WR2: Jaxon Janke, Jadon Janke
WR3: Campbell, Dailey Jr, Leighton
TE: Kunz/Heins, Cavanaugh, Kraft
LT: Donald/Titus, Vibert
LG: Lickiss/McCormick, Beerntsen
C: Genant, Strohbeen
RG: Miller, Gruetzmacher, Bloomendrader (moved from TE)
RT: Aron Johnson, Greenfield, Bass


DE1: Winkelman, Terveer, Caden Johnson
DE2: Ogunrinde, Hicks, Elijah Wilson
DT: Ward, Krolikowski, Van Marel
NT: Sanders, Stacker, DePriest
SLB: Levi Brown, Barnett, Williamson
MLB: Backhaus, Tetzlaff, Madison/Spalding/Motzko
WLB: Seven Wilson, Shafer/Bock/Spalding
CB1: Gardner, Davis, Union
CB2: Evans, Gales, Gandy
CB3: Harris, Lofton
S1: Manchigiah, Norblade, Berg
S2: Griffin II, DeMartra, Darnell

That defense is ridiculous. On offense, anytime you replace your LT there is cause for concern. I'm slightly concerned about depth at WR but with Cade and Jaxon there will be plenty of top-end talent (assuming ball security issues will be fixed) and Stig has eluded to Jadon not being far behind his brother. Bauer and Dailey Jr had really good freshmen seasons. Leighton was a star of the 2019 offseason so we'll see what he can bring to the 2020 squad. This depth factors in ZERO of the 2020 recruits and there are a number who will compete for reps.

Caution to those who think the Jackrabbit playoff run is over! This roster is still LOADED.

I was curious about them moving Backhaus to MLB. Do you think there's any chance they'd move one of the backs like Mulholland or Blakley to serve more of a slot WR role?

Re: 2020 roster.

I think we could take a look at transfer OL, especially at LT but I think we are fine at LB. Plenty of young talent and a very good to great starting trio, IMO.

Is the German exchange student transferring from Colorado State strictly an interior lineman, or could he play tackle ? Weren't the Jacks in on him pretty seriously before he went FBS ?
