Hoping we can find another gem. Just my 2 cents I guess. I know Omaha, IPFW and USD all hit on some guys so I get the allure of it but I still like a guy spending 4-5 years in the same program.
I disagree, sometimes you need a JUCO To fill some gaps and I think you could argue this is one of those times. I agree that I don't want to build a program on transfers but in moderation they can be a good thing.
We might not ever get another JUCO like Andre, I'm still not sure how he ended up here in the first place. Guy was a legit high major talent and could have helped a lot of teams. Usually guys like that don't fall through the cracks.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
