I don’t know if this is too early or bad juju and if so mods please delete. I’m curious what our team looks like in the 2019 season. Who do we have at what position and who is/are the next man/men up?

Simple answer... look at the roster!
QB Lance Hotchkiss battle. Lean Lance
WR Watson Williams Sproles
TE Ellefson
RB Clark Wilson Brooks Cofield
FB Robbins
OL Radunz Johnson C Volson Jensen
DL Waege Tuszka Karcz ???
LB Cox ???
CB Bridges Hayes
Safetys Hendicks ???
I have looked at the roster. I’m looking for opinions on who is starting at what position. Where are we depth wise? Who are THE young guys to keep an eye on with their development. I know what we have at RB and a decent idea at QB but the OL and LBs I’m not sure.
Is there a reason why this thread can’t be started during the off season. Are you bored with the playoffs? Are you bored with early signing period in 2 1/2 weeks? Geez Louise! There are three games left. Let’s talk about the 2018 team!
”Looking ahead .......... Who’s After These 2018 Guys Because I’m Tired Of Talking About Them And I’m Bored As Hell.”
How did we not see this one coming?!
Hey I posted what I did because I love talking football. Nobody is forcing you to engage in the thread. But I’m willing to bet that if there is a decent discussion about the 2019 team you would read with some interest. They’re are and will be worse threads so I don’t see the problem.
To be fair (I know Vet LOVES that saying), 23Bison did offer the mods to take down if they thought it was a case of premature threadulation.
(I nominate that as a new entry in the Bisonville Dictionary - “Premature Threadulation”.)
Hey I’m all for deleting it if unfriendly juju was going to be cast upon my beloved team. And yes to be honest I am a little bored. I new the MSU game was going to be like that. Had an inkling that JMU could very well lose to Toothpaste. Poof here we are on the way to playing said Toothpaste. I’m excited where we are in the season and am just waiting for the semi finals. This week won’t be interesting for me and for that I’m sorry. Just want to get to the game because I’m tired of hearing about JMUs coach and MSUs f-ing QBLB thing they had taking the snap. Just want some real football talk is all. Please forgive my Premature Threadulation.
I’m going to allow it, overruled, answer the questions.
I hear ya, buddy. It happens to all of us at one time or another (except me, of course).
In the meantime, I recommend cold showers until January 6th and frequents visits to the “AC/DC to the West Lot” thread. Both do wonders at keeping high expectations in check. [emoji16]
I am fine with this discussion and its no more “premature...” than the post on “who’s after Klieman”
Didn't want to get a unkempt string of quoted rosters with edits so I will just submit mine solo. I personally love talking about the future of our program while still enjoying the current year. I can't practice and watch film like the players but I can think about their upcoming matchup and discuss future rosters at the same time. My mom is very proud of me!
Note: I am only listing players that I think have been talked about or shown the potential to get legit snaps. Whether that be just 1 at a position or 3+ deep.
QB: Trey and Holden battle it out. I too would lean Lance, but we have multiple players capable enough to make it a battle. That's a good thing.
RB: Ty, Cofield, Seth, and Saybein. Might not be Bruce and Lance (yet) but it is pretty damn great. (not sure on Purifoy and Dimitri position switch expectations)
FB: Robbins and Malstrom back and they've been excellent
TE: Ellefson, Gindorff, and Babicz. Jensen was rock solid but we shouldn't miss a beat.
LT: Radunz and Cordell super sub?
LG: Kubas and I think Willis is switching from C to G so a worthy mention here.
C: Schoenning has received plenty of snaps this year so he is the new starter. Think Willis switches to guard because they really like Freshman Schreiber.
RG: Jensen
RT: Johnson back (Can I just say we need to find Cordell a starting spot? We can't let him only start his senior year.)
DT: Karcz and Biegler who has flashed well in very limited time. Shoutout to Lane Tucker backup because he was one of my most exciting players in the class so I hope it bares out.
NT: Darnell and Alo
DE: Tuszka, Waege, McCormick, and Pierce (Haven't heard enough about Sundt, Ogbu, or Cook to assume roles)
SLB: Cox and Super Sub Jaxon Brown
MLB: Hankey
WLB: Mercadel (think he reclaims this spot if healthy) and Jasir Cox or Hofstedt
CB:Bridges, Hayes, Davis, and Talbert
S: Hendricks and Tutsie with Kaczor and Weber backups
I think a good QB will come out of camp because I like both talents. I think our OL question marks will be answered because we have been spoiled with great Ram development. The WR question mark is still very scary but glad Sproles and Watson got a ton of snaps this year. I think Karcz makes plays all the time so I love him for next year but Darnell doesn't splash like Steidl has, or the NTs in the past. I guess this feels like the first time where our interior DL backups felt like actual backups, instead of studs in waiting. I mean no disrespect to them, but just don't have much evidence to go off of yet.
TLDR: QB, Interior OL, and WR are the biggest question marks. Honorable mention to Interior DL and MLB depth.
I think they find a starting spot for Cordell Volson
Mercadel and Cox on the field at the same time is going to be really exciting to watch.
How has Beau Pauly looked this year in fall camp. Would think he would contribute some and don’t for get that Jaxon Brown May be in the mix also if they continue to eye him as a OLB instead of S.
Have we asked 56 if there will even be a team after this one? As far as I'm aware, there is no Bison football team after this one.
We gonna be stacked.
We're talking back to back 5 straight minimum.........damn you JMU for ruining our 8 peat!
Tutsie at safety is going to be very good.
Oh I had forgot about Begley! I think we will be stacked a LB once the young pups get some experience. I believe our defense is going to be absolutely salty once we play Oregon! Hopefully Jabril stays around for his senior season.
Great post by Rixen. I’m really liking this 19 team the more I look at it (and internally laughing at the rest of FCS in the process), and there is no reason why we can’t talk about it. It’s all football. Should be a whale of a season next fall.
Really hope coach Eck looks at our 2 deep next week and gets his hopes up for 2019. xlolx
not to mention we redshirted 3 non freshman this year. This program is doing it right. Loaded.
Thank god then there won’t be a target on the backs of our boys next season. No pressure!
Teams should quit worrying about NDSU “coming” back to the pack. Why don’t the focus on trying to catch NDSU. If I was one of those teams I would rather knock NDSU off the top of the mountain, than beat NDSU when they are ranked 10th in the country.
PS we will not be ranked that low for a long time.
We have been great at QB since day one of becoming FCS in both talent and leadership. I think Izzo and Kolpack said it best a few weeks ago. What happens if and when NDSU misses on a QB? I look at SDSU this year and if they had Easton Stick and we had their QB, who would be the favorite? It would be close either way. From the little I see of Trey Lance I think he is going to be really good. We change our playbook a bit (which is fun and interesting) but the winning ways should continue into the future.
Is Purifoy still recovering from his knee injury from last year? He's still listed on the roster, but he hasn't played in a single game this year.
