Watching the game last night, I wish that had been the case—it looks like he'll do well at UND. Makes me wonder if his play has even been a pleasant surprise to Sather. It will be interesting to see how things go for Sather moving forward. UND fans are quick to blame "the Covid year" for some of their recruiting shortcomings as if UND was the only school in the country that had to deal with that reality. For as much as they all bashed Jones on their message board and hailed Sather as a brilliant hire, I'm curious to see if he can turn it around for them in the next few years or if they'll continue to lag behind you guys and the SD schools.
Bruns also has a younger brother who is possibly going to be better than he is. UND recently offered him too. Should be interesting to see if they get him.
