Saw Vigen followed a Gordie Haug as a coach. Was tight ends coach at North Dakota so my guess would be that is one of the coaches.
Wouldn't be surprised if he's the new OC. He coached at NDSU in 2011/2012 and then Wyoming from 2014 through this past season so Vigen has worked with him before. Was hired recently as UND's assistant head coach and TE coach but maybe MSU made him a better offer.

Haug just got hired at North Dakota a few weeks ago, so that would be very Choatish to move to MSU that quickly.

Could be - but I think they worked together at Wyoming, so he could've been following him for a while

True, I was assuming based on the post I responded to that it was a recent follow. But maybe not.

Not a recent follow.

He’s been following Haug for years.

I spend WAY too much time looking at at who Vigen follows. The most recent follow is a Juco DB and a recent Carroll graduate.

Soooo, Vim, or anyone else in the know, any positive news yet? Anyone coming in or are we in a holding pattern until February?
I mean... Vim has no control over when players commit. I'm pretty sure he was saying we are going to start getting good news, not bad. And if its a QB recruit I could understand that you might want to see who the OC is before committing.

I do wonder though, its probably too late to get them enrolled in classes for the spring semester.
I think they have until the 28th but I could be wrong.
Classes started today. Typically a student has 4-5 class days to add in before they've missed too much.

Vim does have control, dammit Vim why won’t you let the school release this information yet?

Maybe an insider at the school would look around for any unfamiliar, athletic looking individuals and question them why they are roaming the hallways.

I know one of the best players has a standing NIL offer with a Big 10 team who will start next season in the Top 5 and play almost every game in prime TV slots. Life-changing money.

Spring portal could be very interesting.

Tampering is not something that exists in college football. What is this tampering you speak of?

Not that many guys left worthy of that kind of offer. Would about have to be one of a couple olinemen or maybe a running back if I were sleuthing.

I'm just going to toss this out there. The new Congress and Senate is going to get college sports under control. The adults are back in charge. The NCAA is about to go the way of the Dodo bird.
