NDSU has never had more depth at TE, that's for sure. And there is starter material in the WR list too.

I saw some Oklahoma drills on twitter last year and one guy just totally kicked everyone's ass. It was so dominating I had to check the number and sure enough it was Bryce Messner. Now he's way bigger.

I'm thinking "The Bruce" will have a huge year!!

I split out the true freshmen...

You know, seeing it on paper makes me more excited. The big question is can Easton make a jump in the passing game, and even if he does not, can our OC put together a game plan where his legs are an absolute weapon. (I love to tell big NFL fans that when they say Wentz is a good scrambler, I tell him the current QB is even better.....)

The funny thing about Stick is he really wasn't a scrambler last year. His runs were almost all designed runs. He actually didn't do a good job last year when his first read wasn't there actually scrambling and making something happen either with his legs or his arm (Elway Young). It was almost like he felt he needed to stay in the pocket rather than just create. I am hoping he makes that jump and becomes a QB that is a scrambler that can make things happen with both his arm and legs. This can be done by moving him outside the pocket and giving him those options.

[IzzyFlexion]

As is the case with ALL Bison fans, I'm praying for no major injuries.

But..........it's comforting to know that the depth across the board makes me confident that the "next man up" philosophy will be solid.

All hail ,"The Bruce." Now everyone lift your kilts and scream and yell like madmen!!

[Mr. Burgundy]

I predict zero true freshman play. A couple who could help now but in such small doses. Just loaded.

So you're saying redshirting everyone is better than playing half the freshman class because "they are ready"?
