The rb was good but judt no use for him he can go play elsewhere and get more pt. Sucks to lode the lber he was good special teamer.

This is too bad. I thought both would contribute significantly in the future.

[HandoEX]

Good luck to them. Can't say this was a smart move on their parts though. Why not wait to finish the season?

The rb would have had to beat out both crockett and ojuri and that wasnt going to happen.

How can someone leave or transfer before completing classes? They would have had to withdraw or fail all classes and get no credit.

[Snowgoose]

The one thing I didn't understand was why Dinwiddie didn't get some time on special tea,s for running kicks back. I never saw him do it but I still find it strange with Smiths being injury prone and us being thin at WR that we take that risk.

[westnodak93bison]

If they want out then its ok if they leave. Good luck to them.

That was the Bruhn TD pass, Lee had noticed it when they were watching the previous SDSU game on film that they were leaving a spot/receiver open on a certain route on that play. I believe Dinwiddie may have been the route runner in the previous SDSU game was what was mentioned??

This blows. The running back doesn't concern me since were loaded and the kid on the practice squad obviously is seeing his stock rise. but the linebacker does. He would have provided depth or challenged for a starting role. Losing Jacob Davis sucks too. Who is our future middle linebacker? These Kansas kids are probably just pissed they were getting beat out by North Dakota and Minnesota players.

The 2011 recruiting class has more attrition than the 2009 and 2010 classes combined.

Thats not supporting MN/ND players. You are making disparaging comments about players from another state of which you dont have the facts. If they did in fact leave because of lack of possible playing time it had nothing to do with the state they came from.

:rofl: Sorry for laughing but thats the weirdest compliment Ive ever seen. I also think he would have seen more playing time but dont know how he was working out in the scheme of things. Or was it due to his brothers lack of playing time or vise versa? Or was playing time the real issue? Strange dynamic going on there.

Possibly but one reason I'm such a pimp of ND/MN kids is if they do get beat out, they typically stick with the team and add championship quality depth. The 2011 class is trending downwards in attrition. Lisenby, Horvath, Stafford, Veldman, Grimm, and now Dinwiddie.

Ticked they want to leave. I loved that RB. He had some promise for sure. Idk if he thought he'd feature but he doesn't have the size. He definitely merited more carries in my mind. I'm sure the coaches have a better idea but I'd love to see them stay.

Maybe this explains why a friend of mine was upset, she is pretty good friends with one of them and was pretty bummed today about something but I didn't ask what was wrong.

[stevdock]

I will say that for THIS year's team and this situation, it is too bad that the championship game got moved to the 2nd semester. There's no reason to believe that one or both wouldn't have dressed and helped the team during the playoffs.

The 2011 recruiting class has more attrition than the 2009 and 2010 classes combined. True that. The 2011 class will never be as bad as the 2008 class, but it could be more like the 2007 with attrition rate but the talent that stays is very good.

What really blows is that this leaves the LB situation even more precarious and the RB lacks talent among the underclassmen. I hate that it and it will be noticeable come the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

[Mr. Burgundy]

I like it. I would rather be recruiiting with more money now as a National Champion on another potential title run, than have 3 kids on the roster that for one reason or another don't want to be here. Lets get new kids, balance our our classes and reload. I think we do need a RB in this class, and CLEARLY are focusing on DT and the LB spot.

LB is maybe the one spot that you can JC your way to success, Chad Wilson type guy is a good example. We need to bring in a seasoned replacement for next season, and JC is the way to go.

The spot that I am most conerned for next year it DT. I hope a couple of the freshman stick around this time, and can play a little ball. Also, Hope Levo get's back for K-state.

[PaBizon]

Gabe, before you apologize consider the source who's going after you. THere are certain people here that always focus on the negative and like to argue about nothing. NDSU could score 80 and they would still say something negative. I have no problem with what you said and IMO you're right about why they left.

too bad. dinwiddie was a good back and i always thought he should've had a bigger role with our offense. deshawn was good on special teams and could have contributed at LB at some point. Deveon is an FCS caliber starter. I wonder where they will go D2 or another FCS school

Disappointed to hear about all 3 but really disappointed to hear about Davis. I thought he was going to take the torch at MLB from Grant Olson after next year. He seemed like a kid with a ton of talent and the potential to be a fantastic FCS football player. Good luck to all three, you can't blame them for being honest about their intentions no matter how messed up it seems to those of us on the outside who don't know the whole story.

Losing our 4th best LB who is only a sophomore is tough. With how much the coaching staff likes to rotate at other positions its surprising DeShaun didn't get more PT on D this year.

Am I counting right, will this be Deveon's 4th school? Things that make you go hmmm.

Was Esley Thorton ahead of him on the dept chart? Alex Lavoy had a great spring game. MJ Stumpf was a big ND recruit. Riopelle and Sonnenfeld were early signings which is a good indicator. I think Jones is good as is the kid on the practice squad. Crockett is only a sophmore. We will be fine. My biggest concern is middle linebacker. I think the kid from Fargo was doing well but has gotten injured 2 years in a row and will certainly get a medical redshirt

[coloradobison]

I think Esley and Deshawn were at different positions, both running with the #2's. We are very young at the position, that is for sure, and very little experience behind the starters.

We are going to always have some attrition but what I find interesting is that after the 06 and 07 very good years we then had a bad class for attrition and now after success we have the same thing seemingly starting. Maybe it is just my perception lately as I haven't looked at the total percentages of class compared to other years real close but it makes me wonder if we have reached on kids or if with more talented kids they expect to play more. I hope it isn't cutting into the "Family" dynamic that this team has as the chemistry just seems great. I was really impressed with Lund and how he talked about changing the dynamic and treating all players the same from freshman to seniors and backups to starters. That is what we can't lose as it turns into Championships.

There seems to be a ton of talent in the younger guys though and those that stay will be champions!!!!!!!!!!!

[devin45k]

Hopefully, Esley can improve.....He seems to behind on most of his reactions on special team and defensive plays.

He didn't play linebacker until mid camp. He has incredible athleticism (38" vertical jump) and has a 6-3 frame but still looks a little skinny. He played safety in high school so its a new spot. He will benefit more from the off season than anyone plus a full camp at linebacker will be huge. Speaks volumes about him that he saw the field so quickly

About a year ago, I found articles online about the DinWiddie's from their past. After reading the articles and seeing what I saw in this thread, I can see why they did what they did. At a young age they were seperated and vowed to get back together. NDSU was the place where they got back together with a brotherly connection tight enough to have the "you take both of us" mentality. I have read in other threads that they wanted to pursue academics, great for them. I truly believe that is what they want. I also believe they both wanted play a role together, now whether that was a pipedream or reality remained out of their control, thus I believe that is why they left. I wish them the best in their futures.

I think an edge pass rusher is one of the hardest positions to find. In the Tampa 2, the RDE is extremely important because the system relies on the ability to get your pressure with your front 4. A good example would be the Vikings and Bears. Both ran a similar Tampa 2 defense. The Vikes defense was good with Pat and Kevin Williams but teams still success throwing the ball. Jared Allen was the player that put them over the top. (until recently of course) Same with the Bears a few years ago with Julius Peppers.

Middle linebacker is extremely important too but this kid is a freak of an athlete. After a year of training when he's 6-3, 240 with cat like edge speed, we will be glad we put him at DE. I think he will see the field next year with Rickey Hagen graduating. If he's as good as we hope, our D-line will tee off on QB's with the beasts in the middle and Hardie, Jirik, Emmanual, and Amechi just dominating like we've never seen. His sophomore year, he will help replace Jirik and team up with Emmanuel and Hardie for a formidable edge pass rush. Look for off the chart tackles for loss out of this kid.

I can't understand how Dinwiddie could leave right now unless he is not be able to play because of grades.

Obviously nobody will ever know so any talk is speculation but I'm curious why you would leave your team hanging in the middle of a playoff run. I don't think it's for grades considering everything has read has talked about him wanting to focus on education, and not football. (good for him) On the positive side like CAS said, at least it gives us more scholarships. I guess this is an opportunity for the other players to step up. Guys like Thornton, Lavoy, or Sonnenfeld

[Grizzled]

Even if it was grades, they would be elgible until the end of the semester. So they gained nothing academically by leaving in November and if it was football related are missing out on valuable practices against the best competition around that they aren't going to get elsewhere. Seems real odd that 3 guys all from the same state would leave at the same time.

[MarkyMark]

DeShawn Dinwiddie accomplished alot by playing as a true freshman and making 2nd string LB his Sophmore year. As a fan of the team his future with the Bison appeared to be very bright. I wish him the best but hope that he is making a move that is truelly in his best interest.

[Mr. Burgundy]

From what I understand, this is a playing time issue, with a depth chart that is staring them in the face. The other kid was homesick. Tough deal. I "think" that the National Title game is in the second semester and you have to be eligible after your first semester grades come out to play in that game. I am not positive on that.

Your right on that Burgandy. With the nat'l title game in the 2nd semester team could lose a starter or contributor due to grades from the spring semester. However, they could regain a starter or contributor who got their elgibility back. We could have got Pierre back last year if we would have had an injury or played someone where the coaches felt we needed another corner.

He was back for the Natty. I don't know if he played, but he did dress.

This is a real head scratcher. Leaving during the playoffs just doesnt make any sense.

From Media Blog -- D. Dinwiddie


“I’m transferring because me and the new linebacker coach (Steve Stanard) didn’t click and I’m homesick,” he wrote. “I want to make it easier for my family to make it to my games."

[KSBisonFan]

Wish them both the best. Closest DII schools to their hometown would be Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Washburn. I hope things work out for them.

Well, from what I heard, they told Coach they were transferring after the semester and he told them to take a hike basically.

[NDSU1980]

I've got it figured out. All three were from Kansas, so they were obviously sent here as spies by Kansas State, taking scouting to the extreme for our game with them next year.

What ?? A LB playing right now, or a redshirt guy? I don't like falling into the rumor trap, but after the 3 left earlier, who the hell knows

If that is the case they are too mentally immature to play in the spotlight of Division 1 Football if they can't handle it. Besides, this is probably Davis hes talking about.

You misunderstood.

[BisonNation11]

The way I see it, Bison football isn't for everyone. A lot is demanded of you on the field, in practice and study sessions, as well as in the classroom. Our program holds these kids to some very high standards, and for some, being away from home doesn't help.

Sorry I thought you meant a linebacker left the team because of a post on a message board! :)

Not Davis, not a new guy. Only have one source, very reliable but haven't confirmed it with a second source. Anyone able to go to practice and do an inventory?

spit it out then... i know a guy who knows a guy who said it

[HerdBot]

Are you going to neg rep yourself then? Seriously though, this serves no legitimate purpose, nor does the original post you're referring to.

I believe the original poster. Has been spot on before. Were just more annoyed hes hinting when he can just spit it out or not post. I would be glad if its not a starter.

You're right though no more discussion needed ill delete my post. It was a dumb post

Edit your reply with my response (thanks)
Edit: pl can you delete ?

Why fuel the fire? It was stupid post to start with, now you make a second stupid post...:facepalm:

My source tells me we wont have enough players to field a team by Saturday...

Hopefully, Esley can improve.....He seems to behind on most of his reactions on special team and defensive plays.

How do you know it's not by design that he is in a certain position? And besides, when he is on D, all I'm looking for right now is that he doesn't get lit up by a block. After a full off season I think he will be up to par and ready to play on a more regular basis.

Meh, I will hope it improves. I am sure a year under his belt will help.

Bohl raved about his development a couple of weeks ago on Bison Feedback. He said we haven't had a chance to see it on the field yet, but we will.
