Carson Wentz

Talk about trying to stir up controversy. I can see why players don't want to talk with the media. If you read the article not once does Carson say Sam Bradford isn't elite.

But Carson Wentz is probably talented enough to get drafted as a hockey player...of course, probably would have needed to claim Thunder Bay residency.

Carson Wentz doesn't fit any of the criteria to be a hockey skater, average size with limited athletic ability.

Yeah, would have been cool to see him play 4 years, kind of odd the best QB to ever go thru NDSU and he only played 1.5 years

This only adds to the unique story that is Carson Wentz. How great was it that he stayed and sat behind the QB that holds the all time FCS wins record? He could've transferred, he could've said selfish negative things to the media about having to sit, this all could have played out much differently. Sure, I would've loved to have seen him play for 4 years too, but his sacrifice to buy into the program and support it at all costs is what makes him so special. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

How much longer before NDSU starts having guys poached like other FCS teams have in recent years? If Easton progresses to somewhere between a Brock and Carson level, I almost guarantee he has FBS teams looking.

I may be a bit of a naive homer but I'm not sure the Bison Football recruiting process would ever yield a young man that would elect to leave once in the fold, sitting or no.

That's what I was thinking. With such a strong focus on the culture and brotherhood and all, I think it would be very unlikely an offer would be accepted by a current player who is immersed in the program.....at least compared to other schools....

I must be out of the loop a bit on this issue of guys leaving the FCS for other schools, but I don't see this being a problem at NDSU. Why would anyone want to leave, especially a guy like Easton (QB), after having seen what just happened with Carson?

Edit: I might have worded that wrong. If he falls between a Brock and Carson level, he'll be getting pro looks from somewhere.

Not to mention - where else you gonna go and have even the slightest dream of capturing five rings that you did not have to buy yourself??
