    Yeah, he was talking about the 5-year master's program for architecture. UNI doesn't offer architecture.

    I think it's a typo. I couldn't find any info on Vraa commiting to UNI on Panther Nation and I'd think their fan base would know if a kid of Vraa's caliber committed.

    Vraa has stated he was coming to NDSU for architecture. Does UNI even have architecture?

    Zach's propensity for planning even carried-over to the recruiting process for college football.

    "The NDSU program has an architecture major and you can get a masters there in 5-years and I'm hoping to do that", Zach says.

    A member of the National Honor Society with a 3.7 GPA, Zach knows that like it or not, he's become something of a role model in Rosemount. And as such, Zach says having athletic ability is great, but without a similar effort in classroom it can be wasted.

    Yeah, I found nothing over there as well. They would gloat if they got him, but I am sure they referred to him as their "leftovers" when they didn't get him.

    Doesn't look like UNI has an architecture major. I am cautiously hopeful that this is some kind of a mistake.

    Well, it isn't April 1st, but I am seriously wondering if this is a mistake. It could be. Some random reporter getting his MVFC schools mixed up.

    But, we did get another receiver. 3 in one class isn't a ton. We aren't deep at receiver. But, his good buddy did verbal to UNI, but they don't even have an architecture program. He was loving our 5 year master's program, and this kid is smart. He knows the value of an education.

    Hope this is a simple mistake. I was told that Vraa was a "difference maker" at this level. I would say that I would be VERY disappointed to lose him.

    I do like 6'4 WR's too.

    Yeah, it's not like Bison fans would ever praise Vraa as the jewel to their great recruiting class, and than the instant a typo comes out saying he is going to UNI turnaround and say "We didn't really need him" "I like the Wisconsin receiver better because he's an inch taller" etc, etc...

    I agree. NDSU needs to realize how good Vraa really is. We focused our WR recruiting on him and Gebhart from Sioux Falls. They are big and athletic kids who could really make a difference. He is a top 5 kid in this class for sure. I really hope/think this may be a typo.
