Doesn't help when they all leave after a year or two. NDSU needs to stay away from being a development school for overlooked athletes who want help to make their move to FBS. If it means focusing on athletes close to Fargo then so be it!

Either that or fully embrace it. Let recruits know that if you come here, you have a very real shot at a few things:
1. Winning a national championship
2. Getting a great education
3. Having a path to the NFL
4. Having a path to an FBS school

We can bitch and whine about the portal, but it's not going away.

So our options are to find kids who aren't good enough to transfer and hope that once we develop them that they don't transfer.
-OR-
Recruit the best of the best players and even higher tier players than we normally do with the promise that they have a real shot at contributing year 1 through 3 without the worry of being perpetually buried on the depth chart and give them a chance to shine. If that added shine they get from our spotlight attracts bigger schools, so be it, but the odds are that not ALL of them will transfer out and some may well see a better path to the NFL at NDSU than they would have had at a G5 school (It's not too uncommon in recent years to see our top player(s) get selected in the draft before ANY G5 schools). I realize this is a change to how things have been but I truly think that by doing this we have a shot at some big time HS recruits AND some very good FBS kids who for whatever reason got buried on their current schools depth chart and just want that moment in the spotlight.
