Opportunity to pick up some Gopher transfers?

[Bisonator98]

If we are being honest, Antoine Winfield, Jr. and Blake Cashman would interest me as transfers.

No thanks.

We won't get any Gopher transfers. We didn't even have enough scholarships to get James Johanneson who wanted to be here. We have 10 seniors and like 17 verbals, most who have FBS or multiple FCS offers

He didn't wanna be here

Heard him on the radio saying something dumb about how great the atmosphere was at UND when he took a visit there. I'm guessing NDSU said they were pretty set at RB.

IMO this makes Coyle look like an idiot, Kaler like an ass, and confirms that nobody involved knew what the hell they were doing.

There is such a thing as people wanting to go to other places. Und seems to be set at RB as well.

There's also such a thing as people wanting other people to go other places...

I don't understand these players at all. They screwed up. They more or less acknowledge that they screwed up. He admits that the coach told them that if they boycotted it would cost him his job. They didn't listen to their leader. Exactly what he told them would happen did in fact happen, but somehow one of their complaints is a lack of leadership? I have no trouble locating where leadership is lacking. It's not the President or the AD or the coaching staff. It's in the locker room.

They insist there isn't a culture problem on the team but the group text thing was terrible they have to clean it up and those things can't happen? How is that not a culture problem? How is a gangbang respectful to women?

Agree with everything you're saying, but if the way Coyle addressed the team, the timing around the school releasing the players are refusing to talk statement, and the way Kaler worked with the team are portrayed accurately in that story, those two shouldn't be off the hook either.

There's a lot of fail to go around, but when a person says, "We didn’t know what type of backlash because we don’t have insight into how sexual assault victims feel. We don’t know their thought processes, we have no connection," then that person looks clueless (at best.). For one, you don't have to be a victim to know something is wrong; you just have to be a human being. And, sadly, "the we have no connection" part is false because, based on the report, a large number of Gopher players had a connection to the victim.

"Well, yeah, 10 guys shot this guy in the head, but he was dead after the first person shot him so I don't see what the big deal is for the other 9. Plus, you know, none of us has ever been murdered, so we didn't really have insight into how murder victims feel. I was shocked to find out that they get pretty upset about it."

Of course, the player was talking to a reporter and it didn't sound like he had really thought things through. Hopefully, in retrospect, he'd formulate different answers and express his concerns in a way that doesn't make him sound like a sociopath.

That is the one thing that struck me in this story....It made the players look even more stupid if thats even possible.

The other thing that struck me as odd was...."“We were 108 young adult, adolescent teen males trying to do this, and we had no outside voices in the room,So, obviously, we slipped up along the way.” You're asking to be treated fairly, and like adults, but then claim ignorance because youre just kids.
