NDSU "developing players" ?? DIfferent talent level
PostPosted:Sun Apr 30, 2023 12:33 am
I think there is something of a farce in this oft-repeated phrase. You see this repeated all the time on AGS. by NDSU fans "we DEVELOP talent better". please
They have FOUR guys - just that I know of (and I don't know much) - that have already signed at least FA (like our own Ryan Miller) with NFL teams. We have ONE.
They (NDSU fans) always say on the AGS board that FCS is about "developing talent" - cmon when you have FOUR people already signed to FA contracts and 2 or 3 more on the board (they may end up with 6 NFL FA guys ! from a daggum FCS team)... they are GETTING a different level of talent up there. They may be doing a good job ALSO developing that talent - I don't deny that... But you have to be at a certain talent level to begin with. We coulda done very little and Jerome Felton woulda made the NFL. As they say in many sectors (like education) "that person will succeed despite his teachers or coaching".
And that doesn't even count the SECOND ROUND SUPER STUD -
Cody Mauch OL North Dakota State 2 (17) 48 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Here is what they have SO FAR as for Free Agent signings-
Noah Gindorff, North Dakota State, TE, 6-6, 263 – Seattle Seahawks FA
Nash Jensen, North Dakota State, OG, 6-4, 328 – Carolina Panthers FA
Hunter Luepke, North Dakota State, FB, 6-1, 230 – Dallas Cowboys FA
Spencer Waege, North Dakota State, DE/DT, 6-4 1/2, 280 – San Francisco 49ers FA
Michael Tutsie, North Dakota State, S, 5-11, 189 – still waiting and listed as highly probable FA
Dawson Webber, North Dakota State, SS, 6-1, 198 – still waiting and listed as highly probable FA
