Chief, well no responses so far.  But some of us really appreciate the information that you provide about the football program.  Thanks and keep the info coming.

[Dmorton]

Coach did say he wanted another WR for Christmas!  And two more offensive linemen!

[Double ET]

Chief, I echo wick’s appreciation for providing us with the information to all of us outside the football program.
Do you know the class rank of these two players?

Not sure what you mean..

I think Chief he meant how much eligibility do the transfers have.

[ytownchief22]

They each have 4 years left.

Joe Groeber - OL - 6'3 330lbs from University of Cincinnati. I believe he has 1 year left of eligibility.

Hopefully we see some more pipeline from UC to YSU in the future!

I think Chief he meant how much eligibility do the transfers have.

Thanks, that was what I meant to ask. I was hoping that they are not the graduate transfer with only one year eligibility left.

According to a friend who is a big UC fan, Groeber has the weight room squat record at UC. He’s an excellent pickup for the guins

[goodnews]

What is your definition of excellent? He may hold a squat record but he's NEVER played a D1 snap in his life.  More like smoke n mirrors to me. Read his UC Bio and your enthusiasm will quickly diminish.  I'd say the coaching staff is reaching for straws but what choice do they have?

I don't see much hear to get excited about:(. Nothing  here compares to the size and pedigree that NDSU is getting once again.  An improved W-L record next season can help but, it is a tough cycle to break.  "You gotta win games to get better players.  To win games, you gotta get better players."

DL and OL recruiting has struggled since Wolf left.  Until its fixed we are likely a .500 club.  The recruiting is atrocious especially on the OL.  I would go as far to say non-existent.  I don't see anyone on the current staff fixing it either.

Gillison the TE from MSU has a nice resume.  Throwing out for some positivity.
