It didn't look like Entz was leveraging these things. Polasek as come and said we need to do a better job using the transfer portal and NIL. College football has changed and, from what Polasek has said, he sees it and is ready to utilize that change to make NDSU football better.Quote:

Yeah we'll see. If we're going to all of a sudden start taking a bunch of portal players every year watch our HS recruiting take a crap. A few kids to fill gaps and fit our culture is one thing but a bunch of mercenaries will destroy what we've built.Quote:

Not sure it's going to be that drastic of a change but having a collective at his back and a good network of coaches, players, and recruits around the Midwest should help him.Quote:

Never know what might pay off down the road...
We get it, you aren’t a fan of Coach P.Quote:

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Entz, but it was after a few years. People can disagree, and that’s fine. I could have been completely wrong.
Can you at least give him a chance and see what he does? He said it yesterday, he’s not bring in anyone that would not fit the culture or in the locker room.
Just to clarify. Are you saying that Wyoming lost 15 kids and gained 3 from the portal and saying that’s a reflection on Polasek? I’m genuinely curious since my brain isn’t working today.Quote:
