Perhaps you should look at the depth chart again.

You did look at it, right???

So Coach Entz had a small recruiting class for his 1st class as Head Coach, due to a small senior class.
Have you looked at that depth chart yet?
So, 6 true freshman are on the two-deep. Plus 2 more on special teams.
6.

Grey Zabel is starting at RG. A true freshman on the OLine!
Shades of Billy Turner/Joe Haeg......
But Zabel is the poster guy for everything you dislike about the Bison.
Zero stars (247) and only 2 competing FCS offers.
You’d better start a Fire Grey Zabel thread.

And what about Mason Miller? Why is he on there?
Chapo better run him off. Only 2 stars, 2 offers. Not good enough for Lakes!

Have you looked at the depth chart yet?
So there are 10 RFr on it......

As far as backfill with transfers goes, that is for many reasons.
But Especially roster attrition.
Two RB’s leave, well, get a FBS transfer to fill a need for size & depth at RB.
Backfilling also helps balance out class size.
And, as Coach Entz has stated, you can’t keep replacing veteran players who go to the transfer portal with freshman.
It’s the new normal. If NDSU averaged 2 recruited transfers a year in the past 10 years, expect 3-4-5 going forward with the new rules. It will still be less than most FCS teams......

iirc you gave Coach Entz’ 1st recruiting class a C-
I’ll go with a solid B.
One thing I always look at is - How many recruits did NDSU lose to other FCS teams, especially MVFC teams? Can’t think of any off the top of my head although I’m sure there may be some.
Solid B, It was, after all, a small scholarship class.
Good thing the walk on program is so solid!
I know, I know, Chapo really dislikes the walk on program......

GoBizon!

Well Zabel isn't from Minneapolis, and wasn't recruited to Podunk Iowa State or Rutgers.

Obviously he can't play.

Scottie, what does uncle Rico have to do with this?

[MankatoBison]

Your glass is always half empty. You've got stars in your eyes again. Recruiting down???? Look what the Bison have lost and they're still at the top of the pile. That pile might be a shitpile, but all of FCS is a shitpile. 3 seniors starting and the Bison can still win the conference.

The most accurate thing ever written on Bisonville, and its not even close.

Have to admit, kinda got mixed feelings about this:

(1/2)

Important note for #FCS bracketology: Just like the normal 24-team fall bracket, I'm told the committee will avoid conference matchups in the 1st round of this spring bracket if the 2 teams played each other in the regular season.

2/2)

However, if 2 conference teams did not play each other during the regular season, they may be paired against each other in the 1st round.

ending the Fighting Hawks season would be a extra small bit of 1st round bonus, but, they still may trip over teh hockies stick at the Ice Pond this weekend

Bunny turds will win as your guy will throw a couple picks and Entz will keep sending him out there because he is awesome in practice.......................
