A few quick notes as the UND football team is now three practices into fall camp: Much-hyped WR J.J. Robertson is no longer with the team. The former University of Illinois commit participated in spring ball but never returned to the team due to academic issues. While we are talking academics, redshirt freshman WR Anthony…
Thought we would bring you a few updates as we have come across them based on media releases from undsports.com, etc. TE/LS Taylor Grant is no longer on the roster. We heard he has transferred somewhere closer to his hometown of Minneapolis but have not confirmed where. Grant was the team’s starting long snapper. RS…

The recruiting season is here again (as if it ever left). Just wanted to take a look at the areas of need moving forward. Between graduation of seniors and natural attrition for a variety of reasons that occur every year, there will be room for UND to recruit a good-sized class. Priority Needs: DL, OL,…
