As near as we can tell, Coach Bubba Schweigert and his staff should be about done with recruiting as far as the official 2015 recruiting calendar goes.

Rumors

By our math they are sitting at 26 scholarship commitments and 6 preferred-walk on commitments.  That means they can sign five more players for the 2015 season, if they are so inclined.  A team can only sign 30 players in one recruiting season.

The one player we are waiting to hear something on is LB Troy Hansen of Canada Prep.  He visited UND in December and was waiting on word from the University of California about a scholarship, but we haven’t heard or read anything concrete on his decision.  Per reports, he was offered a grey shirt or PWO by Cal (not sure which).  While it is probably a coin flip chance, we are hoping he will be signing with UND, but it appears we will have to wait until Wednesday to know for sure.  He would definitely be a nice cherry on top of this solid 2015 signing day class.  Inside linebacker is still a position of need right now when breaking down this class (below).

UND may also still be in the market for a transfer defensive lineman in the next few months – a player that would start with the team come summer time.  If it is an FBS transfer it would be announced in May.

Signing Day is on Wednesday, February 4th.  UND will be holding their annual Signing Day Party at the Alerus Center, Ballroom 5 on Wednesday night at 5:30 pm.
