First Commit

[Hansel]

"Ready or not, here comes the recruiting season. The Bison got a verbal commitment from safety Alex Meier from Anoka High School in the Twin Cities. He appears to be the first of the 2011 recruiting class.

He's 6-foot-2 and about 200 pounds with an aggressive mentality to him. At 6-2 and if he does stay in the defensive backfield in college, you have to like his height, something that is become more important as FCS schools increasingly fall in love with the 6-4 receiver.

He had 98 tackles last season, four forced fumbles and two interceptions

Looks like a beast, only concern for me is it seems like he shoulder tackles a lot..

[lakesbison]

HECK YEA! ANOKA has good Football!!

good competition there.


Had 98 tackles (42 solo, five for loss), three sacks, four forced fumbles, three recoveries and two interceptions as a junior.

Maybe, but he gets his head on the right side of the ball carrier and wraps up too. I thought he looked good.

This kid looks like he can really play. At first I thought the he had a tackling problem but it seamed like we are talking about 5 of the 50 tackles that was on the tape. I liked the angles of pursuit that this kid takes; he always seems to be in the right position to make the play.

Excellent! I like the added depth at safety and this guy seems to have a nose for the ball! Admittedly if you need a safety to make 100 tackles for you you've got some problems elsewhere on a defense but hey, a tackle's a tackle. Welcome to NDSU, Alex!

[SDbison]

Yeah, I like the way this kid plays......good tune for the highlight video.....bodies hit the floor! Welcome to NDSU!

Craig Dahl.....

2004 #2 in tackles (82) 13.6 defensive PPG 285 YPG
2005 #2 in tackles (71) 13.7 defensive PPG 272 YPG
2006 #3 in tackles (61) 13.4 defensive PPG 253 YPG

Nothing wrong with those defenses.

[OBDB]

Nice tackler. Odd that there is no film of playing balls in air downfield. Doesn't look like he has the feet to play safety at FCS level. Bison OLB candidate.

[lakesbison]

OBDB- Old Bison D Back?


funny, hopefully you can say who you are so we can perhaps trust what you say, until then, we reserve judgement.

Kid is solid player, ANOKA has talent.

Does UND piggyback every single recruit we have, or something??

[lakesbison]

OF COURSE, its called

COPY CAT OFFERING or BEING LAZY... ie- he put the SCREWS to them.

Yep, wouldn't be suprised if Meier gets an offer from teh hockey place at some point.

No, they miss one occasionally, but nobody's perfect.

True that! A lot of the Anoka kids i've seen play have that blue collar, don a hard hat, pack a lunch i'm gonna punish you on the field til you hate me mentality. Good start to the 2011 recruiting season

I see it as him being agressive and great at reading the linemen and play. Welcome to the Bison! :)

TWIN CITIES RECRUITING vs UNI, MINN, WISC, IOWA ST...... this is where NDSU shines, NDSU is a known commodity to the kids in the METRO, KEEP PICKING THEM UP!

ISU doesn't belong on that list. ISU takes Texas leftovers at safety and corner and NDSU takes Minn leftovers.

And send them to the NFL :) Considering we have 2 safeties currently under contract.

You might want to try some Minnesota recruits if all you use are Texas leftovers considering you have won 8 games or more 1 time since 1980.

Thanks for the advice, but after your 3-8 season you might want to try some more North Dakota recruits. :)

Ya a 6-5 season and a 3-8 season and we are ready to start up a posse and hunt down some heads. We would have all been in a loony bin if we sucked for 30 years.:D :D :D :D :D :D ;)

You must be 4M's cousin.

[onbison09]

One thing I liked is that he high fived his teammates after a lot of the tackles.
