    Payne in portal (UPDATED: Payne commits to Texas A&M)

    I don't know how I feel about hanging this at Coach's feet. JOJ - sure, clearly fell out of favor/rotation - so makes sense to have him leave. Payne - from the outside he's playing heavy rotation minutes, tangible improvement from year one to the end of year 2. So to me, the staff is doing...

    Mason Carrier all in on MN: We would rather MAKE a better team than FIND a better team.

    People have called it out in the thread but yeah - Carrier has serious Cashman/Coughlin/Barber vibes about him. Seen him plenty up here throughout the years in hoops and football. He looked like a Division 1 linebacker.... as a sophomore - just different. Having my boys' HS FB team play...

    DL Riley Sunram Commits!

    Good Kid, REALLY good family - and yes - he's a load - my 18 year old son played him in basketball last year when he was a Sophomore - good feet, with a lot of sandpaper in his game. Should be fun!

    Karter Menz Commits!!

    Getting a chance to see the kid regularily up here in NW MN/Fargo - there's a lot to like about his game, and more off-field. Good kid, Good family, and maybe as good as a program to develop players for the next level in West Fargo Sheyenne. What you see in the highlight tapes is pretty much...

    Class of 2023 Elinneus Davis, Moorehead HS Defensive Lineman

    This rings pretty true - I'm next door to Moorhead, and while he's noticeable, he doesn't really blow you off the page every single down. Richter played my high school (same conference, granted, we are AAA, not AAAAA like Mhd), but Richter was a force both OL and DL, every, single, snap. Did...

    Ky Thomas enters portal

    I suppose this is the way of the college football world now..... that's not to say I like this world, but a kid that highly recruited wants to be 'the guy'. Have to assume this means that Potts is coming back and Ky knows it first.

    MN HS Basketball will add shot clocks in 2023-24 season

    100% agree with this - if that clock is in place, it'll be used for JV games as well. I'm in NW Minnesota (Fargo-Moorhead Area) and have seen the Shot Clock used for middle school games and tournaments on the North Dakota side of the river - I haven't talked to any coaches or AD's up here that...

    BATEMAN IS BACK!!!

    So good to have a guy with the 'right stuff' on the roster..... but can we get away from Agent 0? Reminds me of Gilbert Arenas - and Bate has next to nothing in common with that guy.

    No HS Football in MN this fall

    Going to be interesting to watch the border towns - I'm up here in the Fargo/Moorhead area, and there are at least 6 players from our small district that are considering 'living' with relatives in Fargo/West Fargo in order to play football this spring. Sounds like the MSHSL is at least...

    Bateman opting out of 2020 Football Season

    I can't fault the kid - every kid goes to college with the hope of providing for themselves and potentially their family. He has a chance to do exactly that - who am I to rip that decision? He didn't bail on us when UGA came calling, or the other SEC schools, and put a RTB tat on his body...

    Rashod Bateman’s Social Media Savvy

    When we look at #13 - we're looking at an all time great both on, and off the field. Great kid - we're fortunate to have him.

    STrib: What if the Gophers played North Dakota State?

    yeah - no. I'm across the river from Fargo, and there's just no point to it. Kolpack, referencing Pat..... wow - what a combo of awful.
