    The following were listed as signees:
    • Aiden Knapke
    • Kyle Peterson
    • Jamarey Smith
    • Gaylon McNeal, Jr.
    One wonders what team chemistry will be like leading up to Spring Ball. You'd have to think at least 3-4 safeties will be in portal by summer.
    You have to think that Wazzu returning players sharing positions with any of our guys are going to be skeptical about getting a fair shake.

    Yep. This is college athletics and so in the big picture it shouldn't matter. But on the same token, being petty about it shouldn't matter either. I hope there isn't a day where we're inviting Jimmy and Co back on campus for some kind of commemoration. Same for the players. Let them go "home" to Pullman ten years from now to commemorate their first win in the new PAC, a hard fought win over Fresno or some trash like that.
    It'd be interesting to see if they'd ever try to add Jacks to their schedule, assuming Jimmy stays there long enough

    in the system we have been running, he pretty easily is utilizing 4 safeties

    disappointed is a very strong word for Stig. he is the guy who took a chance on TL as a walk on. tough to see him turn his back on that

    that said, I see at least Tilford and Stanard staying. that does not feel like a terrible start. i would think DJ will have a very good feeling regarding making the right choices about what DBs to take out of the portal
    Tilford entered the portal right away and I haven't seen any reports about where he is going. Ridley would be the other one.

    Tilford is in the portal and Trey Ridley is unknown, according to JI.

    Good for Bryce. I don't like the portal rules but they are what they are and I have no issue with kids like Hawthorne getting a chance to play somewhere like Iowa. But Wazzu isn't Iowa. It's an FBS backwater. There's a reason why the xDSUs are successful in getting 3* with offers from G6 schools and even P4 schools to come to Brookings, etc. The guys going to Wazzu are making at best a lateral move IMHO with the big exception being that they have played their last meaningful game.

    I thought that Angel would be moved down the depth chart or moved to a 3rd down specialist. I thought he might not be able to take that many hits and not be as effective in short yardage situations because of his size.
    He is a high risk/high reward player.. He gets long runs but he has had some fumbles. He missed played a kickoff or two, also.

    I would still like him at SDSU because he could help out. But if you want to run the ball down NDSU's throat, it would be nice to have more size and power.
    New OC's (maybe) this year could make a difference in all this, too.

    As of Monday he was still heading west (source, trust me, I have an insider on Woods). Have not reconfirmed since as it seemed locked in.

    However, with both Angel and Vorhees going he may have changed his tune.
    I wonder how much the players in each "room" (e.g., RBs, OL, etc.) talk.

    Hopefully Fleck still has mayo in his synapses that prevents him for "rowing in" to disrupt things even more

    Woods has been "unknown" ever since I've been checking. I just hope he doesn't revisit the commitment he flipped to go to Jacks

    Dang it, McFeely; could you please just go bowling and rant to Izzo about how you're going to crotch chop Zim & Gaskins when Bison go FBS?

    Seriously though, if true, I was surprised it took Large that long to transfer. Given mutual appreciation between Jimmy and Large, I thought Large's transfer would be nearly immediate once Jimmy was hired
