Ya, generally minicamp invites are offered after all the UDFA’s are signed.Players don't take much time to weigh multiple free agent contracts. Most evaluate and sign fairly quickly, as the numbers are limited.

Yep, teams will move onto the next guy because it is time sensitive. A you snooze you lose deal.Players don't take much time to weigh multiple free agent contracts. Most evaluate and sign fairly quickly, as the numbers are limited.
Moving to the FBS makes more sense now than ever. With the Portal, there's no reason not to try to tap into the extra players and talent. Yeah, yeah, yeah... we (the fans) all enjoy the JV National Championship, but with the portal, there's no reason at all UM can't transition in like JMU, Appy, Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, and others have done. I think eventually, if UM doesn't, the school is gonna be left in a newly designated type of D2 conference.We'd have 2-3 draft picks and 3-4 UDFAs if we played in a real conference
Gubner is awesome but he is woefully undersized for the NFL for the position he plays. I don't think he's going to make a roster unfortunatelyReally surprised that Gubner isn't signing so far.... Wtf wrong with these scouts.. dudes a baller
I'm surprised nobody would take a chance on converting him to a DE at that level.Gubner is awesome but he is woefully undersized for the NFL for the position he plays. I don't think he's going to make a roster unfortunately
The average weight of NFL nose tackles is 309 lbs. Gubner was listed at 295 (and plays much bigger). DE's are 275. He's fast enough to lose 10 lbs and be a killer DE, IMHO.Gubner is awesome but he is woefully undersized for the NFL for the position he plays. I don't think he's going to make a roster unfortunately
Thank you. I reacted with a eeuh! when I read the "undersized" comment, but we're having work done our place and I couldn't take the time for some research. FWIW: The top two DTs drafted were 297 and 294 ... right in Gubner's range. The top players designated as EDGE players were 259 and 247. I have no idea what the problem is – aside the "lower level" label – but it's not his playing weight.The average weight of NFL nose tackles is 309 lbs.

I think Gub could spend a season or two in Calgary and land in the NFL, similar to Alex Singleton. He just needs a field to to play on. He'll prove out .Really surprised that Gubner isn't signing so far.... Wtf wrong with these scouts.. dudes a baller
He was a good punter, not quite like our previous 2 but he has good control. The biggest upside with him is his baseball background and the ability to be a gadget punter ie. Johnny Hekker.I’m surprised our punter is getting a mini camp invite. I guess I wasn’t that blown away with him throughout the season. Maybe his stats were much better than I realized.
On another note, our coach must be the best coach on the history of the planet to bring his team to the national championship game with zero NFL prospects.
Good point in 2d para. Contrast to SDS. Had they won in Frisco, they wouid have been the greatest (no name) team in Griz history. I said this late in the playiffs.I’m surprised our punter is getting a mini camp invite. I guess I wasn’t that blown away with him throughout the season.

Aaron Donald was 280. I guess it depends on whether the scheme calls for a DT to take up space and engage blockers or make plays. Gubner made a lot of plays.I’m assuming it comes down to his weight at that position in the NFL.
So they want him for his arm.....He was a good punter, not quite like our previous 2 but he has good control. The biggest upside with him is his baseball background and the ability to be a gadget punter ie. Johnny Hekker.
Dude could take up space, too. Still shocked we haven't seen him picked up anywhere. With how great he is in a locker room, I'm not sure I have ever felt NFL teams are missing out by not adding this Griz player.Aaron Donald was 280. I guess it depends on whether the scheme calls for a DT to take up space and engage blockers or make plays. Gubner made a lot of plays.
Donald is a freak athlete, and an anomaly. An exception. Gubner is good, but not even close to comparable to Donald.Aaron Donald was 280. I guess it depends on whether the scheme calls for a DT to take up space and engage blockers or make plays. Gubner made a lot of plays.
I distinctly remember you predicting on more than one occasion that Gubner would be drafted and as of yet he can't get into a camp as a FA...but every scout/coach in the NFL are idiots because they don't agree with you. Maybe none of those NFL guys ever played the game.I truly dont get it with the NFL not taking Gubner. The NFL must all be idiots.
