I've seen Tate Christopherson play, a couple weeks ago against Coon Rapids. It was hard to get a gage on him because he had to scramble a lot because his line didn't give him much time and his receivers both got leveled sometime in the first half and were both a little timid after that. He did throw a really nice ball and he's fairly fast (4.65 40 I believe I heard). I think a couple years in your system he might be a pretty good quarterback. Based what I saw in the star tribune a couple weeks ago NDSU is number 1 on his list. They play Champlin Park tomorrow, which is only a couple blocks from my house, so I'm going to try to get to that one as well.

Tate is someone that could play at NDSU.

the warroad kid is a project.

Spencer Harris is boyz with Cyrus Lemon.... should be a slamdunk.


Engle & Nelson would be AMAZING GETS for NDSU.... cmon coaches!!

BTW, Kevin Vaadeland, the sole verbal the Bison have at this point that we know of, finished his HS career at Park Rapids on Tues night with a loss in the playoffs. His team was terrible this year, but from his LB position he ended up with approx 150 tackles for the season. Not too shabby.

I know for a fact that recruits read the boards of college’s that are recruiting them. Not to tick anyone off but I have a question to ask the NDSU Bison fans that are so angry about how this season has gone. If you were a recruit would what you read on this board, the trashing of this team, draw you to NDSU or send you away?

Considering that many have talked about the short coming of the team it might show a recruit that there is an opportuniy to play here.
Also considering all the trash talk that goes on now a days I doubt the bad mouthing of the players would have any negative effect. PL

I know this isn't exactly on topic since this is about a ND kid, but I don't feel like starting another thread. Here is a nice article in today's Forum about Fargo South's Brandon Jemison. He is both a RB and a LB, I believe NDSU has offered him as a LB. According to the article his choices are down to NDSU and the Sue. Hope we get him, if Feeney says he is a stud, that's good enough for me.

having watched him play last week against north, he is a strong runner and has moments where he's blazing fast. watching him run a sweep to the open side of the field is a thing of beauty. i didnt get a good look at him on the other side of the ball though. from the sounds of it he's a very good open field tackler. hopefully he goes the same route as horner did and decides to wear green and gold next year.

coach bohl and the gang could also take a look at jd mcdougall from north. theres a kid that isnt afraid to put his head down and hit some people. same running style as a current bison running back we all know and love. a little on the smaller side though (5'10-11" 200 lbs).

This team needs North Dakota 9-Man guys like it needs a collective hole in the head. Start hitting up the TC, Chicago, Omaha, etc.

(On edit: I don't care if this post offended anyone. if we want to be a national champ contender, we need physical, talented guys, and ND isn't where you'll find them. BTW, I could round up a bunch of special ed Mpls. suburban high schoolers and they could beat an ND 9-man team. ND 9-man is the lowest of the low.)

Didn't Belquist play 9-man in ND?

Boyer 9-man in SD?

Gratzek 9-man in MN?

Sczepanski also played 9-man, was a walk on and beat out Hazley-Freeman, a scholarship player from Houston, TX, a city which probably has more DI football players in that city than all of MN.

Not sure I agree with your statement.

but people... this is BIG TIME ATHLETICS HERE.


we need 90% baller's from Twin Cities, Chicago, Texas, Cali, Florida..

I mean... we want a top caliber FCS team.... not a NCC team.

This year should be painfully obvious that we need MORE TALENT.. MORE SPEED. PERIOD.

eat one... Belquist was a nine man player... Didn't Lee Vandal play 9 man as well? Keith Buckman played nine man... they seem to be doing alright... keep drinking the kool-aid, although I do agree with needing to recruit in more football talent-rich areas than just ND.

hmmmm???? Tyler Roehl isn't talented isn't physical???? guessing you were just talking about 9-man, but there are some big physical guys from small town 9 man schools, due to the farm and most have great motivation, not saying just get 9man, but don't overlook one because they play 9man or are from ND.

some of those small town kids are or can be just as good and athletic as the kids from the twin cities/chicago/omaha/etc. but, i think the big difference is that those small town kids dont have some of the skills and knowledge that the city kids do. the big city kids get to play against a higher level of competition and training methods and facilities. the small town kids just dont come as shiny and polished as the city kids and they need to learn those skills and adjust to the higher level of play. unfortunately for them, more often than not, this turns off coaches and scouts.

Sadly, most of the great athletes of these small schools (and getting smaller every year) will always be lost in obscurity for a number of reasons including those that coldspot accurately pointed out above. I can tell you from personal experience that the most glaring deficiency is the number of coaches and staff (usually one or two guys). Clearly, there's nothing anyone can do do fix that since enrollments continue to decline. These coaches are jacks of all football trades: offense, defense, special teams, scheduling, field maintenence, trainer, etc. There simply aren't enough teachers, mentors, and hours in the day to develop the talent in order to prepare these underserved athletes for the next level.

So Caleb Nelson who plays 9-man football for Sargent Central shouldn't be getting recruited by NDSU because he plays 9-man? I mean he's only 6'3" 260 lbs and runs a 4.7 forty. But your right we can go to Texas and find a guy who's 6'31/2" 265 lbs and runs a 4.65 forty.

Qvale from Williston (signed with Nebraska) is playing against Fargo North this week. NDSU has done a great job getting the ND kids that can play at this level. Qvale is better than this level, and most kids aren't good enough to play at this level. Is there a kid that NDSU has overlooked that has went on to be great someplace else??? I think they are doing a great job.

There is a coaching staff located in the Fargodome that doesnt buy into the big city recruiting philosophy, so we will continue to see the best North Dakota kids playing for the Bison.

I don't know, call me crazy but I don't care if a kid is from Cavalier, Houston, Chicago, Edina or Beaver Dam as long as he can play the game at this level. I'll leave the judgement up to the coaches and if he happened to play 9 man football in ND all the better, always good to see a small town player do well in the program. Who was the WR from Antler, ND? Doesn't get much smaller than that.

Everybody's so harsh here. There's 2 obvious things about this thread.
1. The title is about Minnesota recruits because that's where most of our players come from.
2. The reason people are hating on ND 9-man football is because it is what it is. There's a much smaller talent pool to pick from and most of the potential that there actually is happens to be very raw due to the lower access to good facilities and coaches.

Can we just get passed the obvious here?

Anders is a stud. Single handedly tore up South at the start of the season for something like 5 TDs rushing from the QB spot. Not too sure how sure he is with that Harvard commitment, as he's a great football and hockey prospect. I know the Gophers have shown a lot of interest in him for hockey.

I'm sorry, but unless you're guaranteed a pro contract after playing football somewhere or playing Hockey for the U, take the Harvard education.

It all depends on your definition of major. It's hard to know with hockey, and if he pursues that route I'm sure he'll end up drafted. Only seen him play football once but he's a pretty good talent, he'd be great for the Bison but I just can't see it happening.

Exactly right. And I'm sure that's what he'll end up doing. Maybe I'm biased but I'd play hockey for the U in a second if that opportunity arose compared to going to Harvard to do the same. Pro football is highly unlikely for so many, the odds are much worse than hockey in regards to top tier colleges.

hey lakes........ i believe there is one starter at least from stephen argyle on your defense..... lets give it up ........ this is not big time athletics.... the big ten is big time the pac 10 is big time.....the sec and acc now they are BIG TIME! the summit and the Missouri Valley...... they do not exactly pop into your head when thinking big time college athletics.... sorry to burst your bubble


The major conferences are the big-time...obviously.

Still...the mystique of complete supremacy has been burst...especially without some of the lower to middle level programs within those conferences.

On the average...Minnesota fights for a spot in the upper half of the Big Eleven. I'd call them a mid-level FBS program. The upper level FCS teams are very capable of playing with teams at the mid-FBS level.

As it always will be...the games are always at the FBS home stadium...which kind of skews the superiority. It's called home field advantage.

It would be fun to see some of these teams travel to places like NDSU, App. State, James Madison, Montana, etc.

The very elite teams in the FBS (10-15 each year) are a LOT better than anyone else.

The lower teams in the FCS could not play with FBS teams. They can't play with the better FCS teams either.

Sure was fun to beat up on an FBS programs two years in a row. Too bad the score didn't show just how bad the pounding was.

With the QB Gray passing his test and enrolling at MN in Jan., that takes up Anders spot so he won't be going to MN. The more teams find out he wants to play football and not hockey, the more offers he will get. I would say NDSU has as good a chance as anybody with MN out of the picture.

Here is a recent interview with him. He mentions NDSU recruiting him as a QB. But it sounds like he wants to play something\somewhere at the U.

I think the most informative Q & A was the second to last:

GH: If you had to guess which sport, hockey or football, you might be leaning toward right now, do you have any ideas?
AL: I’m completely up in the air. I know they’re figuring out their [quarterback] situation fairly soon now, figuring out if MarQueis Gray is eligible, if he got into school. [They might say] ‘we’re gonna take him,’ and hey, that’s great, but I’ll probably end up playing hockey then.

So I would say no chance he is interested in playing QB at NDSU.
