I would assume he would be here for spring ball.
Yeah, that's a good point but I think it's tough to find guys with Cole's mentality in those kind of situations. QB is a tough position to get depth at because you can't really rotate players so it's tough to retain a guy when you're basically saying "we think you're good just not good enough to start/play unless this other guy gets hurt". With Hotchkiss and Sanders both being a year older than Lance if they get beat out by him they know their chance of playing meaningful snaps at NDSU for the rest of the careers just took a massive hit.
