Can't wait to see how these guys progress over the summer into the fall camp. Hopefully Kramer does what he always does

Blake Williams
Jordheim
Marcus Collins
Nate Jensen (6-6, 230)
Marlette

Lots of DE's excited about
Stanley Jones.
Sleeper player is Caleb Butler. Super athlete. Awesome wrestler, basketball, track & field.

Thoughts?

I'm interested to see if he makes the #2 spot at QB first. If he does it will confirm he is a special talent.

I'm sure he will start the spring as #3 but could work his way up to #2 by fall camp or mid season. Davis has some skills too

I'm guessing your as wrong as wrong can be about stick being anything but number 2 on the depth chart .... My reasoning is the departure of another qb.... That tells me stick is #2 air apparent if you don't like it move on

For me, it's Collins that has my interest.

Here's a beast, that has multiple beasts actually playing on the field in the classes ahead of him, and projected beasts coming up right behind him (Ellefson and M. Anderson).

Of course, that could also be said about almost all the positions! Pretty sweet situation!

Great potential young talent. Smart kid too. He was 6-4, 205 as a freshman. Curious to see what he's at coming into fall camp. I have to wonder if he's a candidate to play a different position or if TE is his spot? Kids got the frame to play a multitude of spots

Excited about Nate Jensen too. 6-6, 240. With a frame like that I'm sure he could play other spots too.

With Collins my main point of curiosity is his speed. If he has WR type speed and can block decently as a TE, he will be an amazing weapon in an already dangerous offense

You are correct. Stick was the, de facto, #2 last season if Carson had suffered an injury that would have kept him off the field for any significant length of time.

He'll be #2 in 2015.

I've already asked this question, and no one had an answer. Stick was #2 all year long and his shirt would've been pulled IF Carson got significantly hurt. However, at this point, none of this really matters because Carson didn't get hurt, Stick didn't lose his shirt, and now we can just play along with the idea of him having to earn the #2 spot in camps. This entire situation could be looked at from 2 different perspectives. Is it a bad thing that a true freshman came in and moved ahead of 2 guys that were already established in the program? Or is it a good thing that we got this kid who as a true freshman is so good that he came in and moved ahead of 2 guys that were already established in the program? Let me remind you of a kid named RJ Urzendowski and then answer that question.

I believe I questioned you on that statement. After listening to a CK interview and him talking at TM and watching the sideline interaction of Stick and coaches, plus watching sticks sideline behavior etc etc etc I came to the conclusion he wasn't #3 or#4. You were correct. I was wrong.

It's all good PL, I guess I don't remember being questioned about it anyway. I'm definitely not going for a "I told you so" moment towards you or anyone else, because I felt like you did about addressing the obvious presence of Stick on the road and at home this last year, and how it was pretty apparent he was being groomed as the #2 man behind Carson.

I'll Im saying people is if Stick will have to prove he's better than Davis. He won't be the #2 because he was highly touted and recruited or because he played well last year in practice. If you think Davis is going to just sit back and not work his ass off this offseason and compete for the #2 spot and heir apparent to Wentz, your out of your mind. Last years hypothetical depth chart means nothing if Davis performs better.

Davis has been practicing the offense a year longer. He's mobile too. McGinnis didn't have a chance since he wasn't a running threat. QB is a complicated position and it takes time. Year over year improvement can be huge.

Do I think Klieman wants him to be the #2 guy? Yes just based on the fact he would be a 3 year starter instead of a 2 year starter is huge in itself. Do I think Stick is better? Probably but let's see him play first

I get what you're saying gabe. I fully expect Davis to compete for the #2 against both Stick and Hendricks. I think this conversation is a mix of last season vs upcoming season, and we all know of certain players that are a lock to start, Carson, Vraa, etc. I agree that nothing is for certain in various #2 spots and that regardless of what happened last season, players still need to come out and earn (back) a #2 spot.

Competition for all spots is key to the overall success on a yearly basis and to sustain the program. Most kids do want playing time but with most if not all coming to NDSU realize that they will have to sit out a year or two before they step in to the role they are playing. In the meantime they improve their strength, speed and football knowledge so they are ready when it is their time. Outside of the special one or two freshmen a year most will sit.
I look forward to all redshirt freshmen but will keep an eye on Collins, Marlette and Jones.

True, but I'm hoping that Easton thinks he's better and that if he ever gets a chance that he can make everybody say, "Carson who?". If he's not built that way, I'll be disappointed. More importantly, he better not be worried about anybody else but the guy currently above him or I would have concerns about the future. A final thought is that I'm not sure we have yet seen the absolute best of Carson and we're more likely to see it if he has real competition.

The program is at a really amazing place right now when they can redshirt almost all the freshman including the top recruits. They should be a top 5 team and competing for championships for the next 5 years based on talent. Success breeds success and it always will.

Agreed! He also should probably only worry about himself and how he can make himself better every day. Frankly, I think we're getting the type of athletes that you're referring to and ARE built that way, and that's why they're recruited in the first place.

I'm not here to play the I know more than you guys card and I am not going to pretend to be his doctor and know all the in and outs of his medical problems. I said what I thought was fair to him and you guys to get some info out without stepping on any toes.
Kid loves NDSU and loves football. He just might not get medically cleared to play again. One thing I do know is never discredit the doctors at NDSU. they have worked miracles before like getting Grant back earlier than any of us thought. Just dont know if what I am being told is fixable to get him on the field again

I am one of the biggest Marcus Collins fans out there. he helped me a lot in last years coverage and helped hold the 2014 class together IMO. I wish him nothing but the best and if football is something he cannot continue to do, I support him in getting back to full strength, getting his degree and becoming a man.

Me too! Time to stop the thinking that if a player is of exceptional size for his position, he clearly needs to be moved "up a weight class". The same thinking would have had Nick Deluca playing defensive end.
In case you haven't noticed, its how you get more speed on the field.

I know he's not a redshirt freshman, but I'm really excited to watch Menard this next year. He had the size and ability to play as a freshman so watching him grow into a beast should be a lot of fun.

I think he will be starting at Strong Safety.

Total guess but I think well see him as a hybrid safety / linebacker. Klieman likes speed. His speed at safety is kind of middle of the road compared to other guys but if he steps in at linebacker he's really fast.

Chris Board to hybrid tight end/punter/Center!


Fixed to add logic.

Come on with the thread drift people. This was a way better thread when we were trying to figure out if Easton is the #2 QB, or what is ailing Mr. Collins, or how none of us are aware of how athletic and amazeballs Stanley Jones is.

I'm just excited for next year, period. All on roster are of mindset that they can be starters--love that. Winter workouts are going great too! Gotta appreciate the dedication of these kids to The NDSU.

Redshirt Freshmen I'm excited to see come SPRING GAME...etc

QB Easton Stick---I've heard great things about him from practice and I'd bet the farm he is #2 on Depth Chart

RB Lance Dunn---love the potential of him taking it to the house if breaks a run---and compete at RB position

WR Khayvon Hawkins---like his size and want to see if he has improved during RS year

TE Nate Jenson--great size and athletic ability---battle for #2 and #3 positions at TE behind Lucas Albers

** Also PRAY that Marcus Collins gets healthy and BONUS would be him playing football

OL---want to see RFR OL battle for b/u spots on OL this year and possible fill the OPEN C position

LB--Dan Marlette--see if his added size gets him in position to win an OLB spot

LB--Levi Jordheim---see how much better he has gotten and bigger during RS year

CB-Jalen Allison---if can be #3 CB position and allow Tre Dempsey to move to FS

S Jaylaan Wimbush--if will be a b/u to Board at SS

S Isaac Cenescar---if can win FS job or be a b/u at either S job

GO BISON

I've had those thoughts at times but we have had one of the best defenses in college football over the past 4 years. If the coaches want to switch a guy to get more speed at a position then go for it. For example, Board at DE seems strange to me but if that idea catches our coaching staff's fancy then do it.

This is Klieman's team, this is not Craig Bohl's team. You can bet it will evolve slightly every year - the teams around us are evolving.

Unless we're in the same room with these coaches, or on the practice field with them, we really have no idea what they're planning with the personnel they have to work with. I understand that we can speculate about a bunch of things all day long, because we're fans and that's our job. But, in the words of one the best ever to be a RB for the Bison, "At the end of the day" the coaches know what is best for the team and I'll support their decisions all day long......unless they call that pass play to Haeg again.

No one, and I don't care if Coach K wins 20 straight championships and has the greatest athlete of all time at tackle, should ever call this play again.

I hope they run it first play of the season against Montana so I can look around and see if anyone's head has exploded.

It motivates the hell out of a person doesn't it.
