40 times are over rated. Jerry Rice ran a 4.7 40 at the NFL Combine and I think he did pretty well getting open, catching the ball and getting yards after catch.

Jerry Rice is an amazing exception. I wouldnt compare him to Jerry Rice.

Of course he is an exception but you know what I mean.

[CivilBison96]

Continuing "obscure" comparisons....He's the same size as Randy Moss!!

He doesn't run a 4.7. His highlight video says 4.5. The last Forum report said 4.6.I swear they just guess on these numbers. The differene between 4.5 and 4.7 is monsterous. Watch him outrun the defense and tell me he runs slower than Matt Anderson. No chance.

40 times dont mean much for WR. if you can run routes effectively and turn dbacks hips, thats what matters

[HerdBot]

They matter but not nearly as much as people talk about. Besides, this kid is tall, has a huge vertical, great hands, leaping ability AND is fast at 4.5. Even if it's 4.6 they can make him faster. No chance it's 4.7.

[roadwarrior]

Andrew plays hoops too:


Okland paces South to win against Central

Andrew Okland lifted Fargo South to a 72-60 win over Grand Forks Central in Eastern Dakota Conference boys basketball on Tuesday.
Okland led the Bruins (4-3, 5-1 EDC) with 17 points and nine rebounds.

[Mr. Burgundy]

Andrew plays hoops too:

I love how everyone is critical about height/weight/speed, etc.....Lets just relax. If Ben Woodside was 6'4, he would start for the Lakers. If Okland ran a 4.38 and played HS football for the past 4 years, he would be at Alabama. Sometimes there is a reason we get him. Remember Joe Mays? Stop looking to much at measurables and look at the football player. How often do you watch a bigtime game and they talk about an undersized kid who plays his balls off? There is a reason some of these kids "fall" to NDSU....which is exactly the reason we WANT them. Thanks for the early morning vent.

I heard he only committed to NDSU because Bohl promised he could Play hoops too, but Saul has yet to contact him and hes already thinking Transfer

Not to mention he trained as a CC runner the last 2 years or whatever. That is completely different training than running for football. I am not worried.

[quote=westnodak93bison;460709]Of course he is an exception but you know what I mean.[/quot

Yes, I know;)

[Kermit]

Andrew plays hoops too:

I watched Okland play several football games this fall, but I was SOLD on his value as a Bison recruit after I had the opportunity to watch him play basketball recently.

He is a good, but not great high school basketball player. When I watched him I wanted to see evidence of toughness and strength. Is this the kind of guy who can make a big catch in traffic and take a hit. First, I was impressed that he is thicker than I thought. Second, he was very aggressive on the boards and he certainly has the athletic ability to "go get the ball."

He will need lots of development, but he has good tools!

[bisonbuddy]

4.7 seems crazy fast to me. :D

[HandoEX]

Who on the list of all time great WRs had great 40 times? Randy Moss and who else???

Jerry Rice, Cris Carter, Steve Largent, Terrell Owens, Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald all ran similar times to Okland.

[GOB1SON]

So in the end we recruited a guy with the size of Randy Moss and the speed of Jerry Rice.

Now if we can just find a kid with Joe Montana's smarts, Steve Young's legs, and Tom Brady's arm.

[HerdBot]

Guys he doesn't run a 4.7. This video says he runs a 4.5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JuPEsw8fko

The Forum reported he ran a 4.6 last month. This most recent article was written by "staff writers" and they clearly did not do their research.

The kid is tall, had a 31'' vertical, great hands, and runs a 4.5. He will get faster with training. Let's stop the Jerry Rice speed discussion because he's faster than him. He's not Moss fast but if he was he would be playing for Oregon.

Watch him outrun defenders. He's fast. Not 4.7. No chance.

Thanks Gabe, but I will wait to see how "fast" he is when compared to players on a college field. Not dissing this guy, but to compare to Jerry Rice and Randy Moss??? I mean seriously!!! If I were a Who fan on this board, I could be linking this talk to the SS board and be laughing my ass off. Ya, he looks good, but let's keep things in just a little perspective and apply some common sense, rather than non-sense.

I beleive 40 times mean too much to some people and are overrated. Darius Heywood-Bey is a great example of a receiver going way higher in the draft than he should have, and ahead of much better players at the position (Jeremy Maclin, Kenny Britt, Hakeem Nicks, Austin Collie, Percy Harvin), based mainly on the fact that he was the fastest of the bunch.

ahem....Troy Williamson

[HandoEX]

ahem....Troy Williamson

The only difference is that the entire draft class in 2005 for WR were mostly busts. Braylon Edwards, Mike Williams, Troy Williamson, Matt Jones, and Mark Clayton all suck. Of the six WRs taken that year in the first round only the last one taken, Roddy White, turned out to be any good...and he needed a lot of coaching up before he blossomed. Vincent Jackson is the only other good WR from that entire draft class.

Yeah, but the only reason Williamson was drafted in the top-10 was because he had 4.3 speed...It's too bad he had 10# stone hands.

Because he is better than Rice, right? :)

Thanks buddy I was wondering the same thing myself! All I was saying is he's faster than the Forum reported. He's not Randy Moss. He's faster than Rice. Never even mentioned the Fighting Poo. Although they did offer him.

GREAT PICK, It will be wonderful to see some better WR's for Brock. With only having Warren as the deep threat,some BIG bodies in the slots will be HUGE to open up the passing game. Great FIND Coach!!!!

[DORMIE]

A friend of mine, who I run into a couple of times a week, has a son that is a good friend of Andrew's. He said that both UND and NDSU offered him a half. For SS to say that he wasn't offered, it's pure BS. Even though UND picked up a couple of receivers last year and have one coming in from Colorado, their QB situation has to be in question. I really like our future with our young WR's and QB's. I watched that recruiting tape of Wentz. WHAT A BEAST.

UND posters are in their own little world over there. Most of their verbals are players no one has ever heard of and have no offers from other schools (FCS). Their self-esteem is so low over there that they make a lot of shit up be make themselves feel better.

Have you personally had him timed electronically??!!! He may say that he is 4.5, but I doubt seriously that he has been timed electronically. Rice's 40 times, whatever they were, were timed electronically. As for my reference to the Who, I meant that, if I were a Who fan and read your posts self-proclaiming this guy to be "faster than Rice" I would be laughing my ass off, as you have no clue, and yet you are proclaiming he is faster than a NFL HOF receiver. Get and effing clue.

Ummm, sounds pretty much like B-ville when someone commits to UND. :nod:

Also, regarding Okland, I believe the only Sioux fan to say anything rated Okland as the number 3 recruit in the state behind Wentz and McGovern. Later, a Bison fan said he was number three and that "small lineman" was number 4, but they could probably be switched. I'm curious where you're seeing all these Sioux fans saying the small lineman is better.

Ham,

Morale of the story:

Who f'ing cares. At the end of the day, it only matters what happens on the field. This type of arguing is quite silly and the very reason I don't follow the recruiting as close as many.

I am happy things appear to be going well, be every team, every year makes it sound like they hit if out of the park.

[bisonhusker]

Like I have said for years, Mussman would be better off and have more time recruiting players that will only get UND offers if he would simplycall up Craig Bohl and ask him what players he is going to take from the State of ND and the rest of the region. After that, Mussman could be more focused on filling out the rest of his roster, while not wasting resources. Just a waste of time for him to compete with the fastest coach in the region.

Despite what I said above, this would see to be very solid logic. Why would any kid go to UND who could play for NDSU? Simply no logic to it. To prove it, the arguments:

1. But they have a med school.....but the player can do all their pre-med at NDSU just fine and start med school when done with football.

2. But they have a law school.....See above. Many fine lawyers who got their BS or BA from NDSU.

3. But they have whatever program NDSU does not have......well, you can't get a job in that anyway, so who cares unless you plan to pursue a PhD and teach/do research at a University. (Chem engineering may be the exception, but if that smart, pitch PNC to them.)

4. But they are they have crazy speed......show them actual data comparing recent recruits and let them know that Sioux Falls beat them......

5. But they have hockey......yes, I admit this is the hardest one to respond too.......:biggrin:

Not sure why your attacking me for reporting the 40 time his own dad put on his You Tube video. Call him up and be a dick. Call up Bohl and tell him you know more than he does and the kid tricked him.

Jerry Rice was extremely slow running the 40 and its very well documented. Actually about 4 other posters stated that first. Not sure why your attacking me for restating what they said. I thought I was stating the obvious. You clearly just don't get the point and your going off on another insanely idiotic

I don't know whether you were stating the "obvious", but your ability to recognize "it" never ceases to amaze me!! And, you finally got it correct, he/his dad said he runs a 4.5, and maybe he does, but the way you put it makes it look like fact, and that he is therefore faster than Rice. And you then went on to tell us that the Forum or whoever else may have stated differently was flat out incorrect. Don't get me wrong, I hope he is good, but I will wait to see, thank you.

Now, go back to your bisonnation forum or whatever the hell it is!!

Who is Fargo South playing against in the game in that highlight tape?

[bisonhusker]

I just hope we are still looking for a 6 footer weighing in at 250 to play NT and stuff the middle. Who cares how fast the kid ran at South. Damn does it get old watching the back and forth over nothing. I think the kid looks pretty damn good on film and the coaches thought enough of him to offer. He wanted to be a Bison. Good for him! can't wait to see him develop.

The Forum showed they do not always pay attention to detail when they are that far off. 4.7 is dirt slow for a deep threat receiver but ok for a posession receiver. Considering most of his catches were deep and he only played 1 yearI doubt we would sign him unless he's closer to a 4.5

I see what you did there, but I am not going to bite other than to say we don't use a NT in our 4-3 defense

[Kermit]

I see what you did there, but I am not going to bite other than to say we don't use a NT in our 4-3 defense

CAS, you know this better than I do, but that statement may only confuse people. The Bison obviously line up in a 4-3, but the two defensive tackles line up in different gaps. Gratzek played what is commonly referred to as a "3-technique." Our other DT often plays a "1-technique"--commonly referred to as a nose tackle even though he doesn't line up directly over the center. See below:

Please correct me if I am wrong.

http://chi.scout.com/2/651881.html


Defensive tackles are normally referred to as 1-technique or 3-technique linemen. The term “technique” is misleading though, as it refers not to a player’s actual technique but where they line up at the start of a play. The defensive side of the line of scrimmage is divided into numbers. Each number corresponds with the placement of the offensive linemen. Directly in front of the center is the ‘0’ position, or 0-technique. Between the center and guard is the 1-technique, across from the guard is the 2-technique, and between the guard and tackle is the 3-technique. These numbers continue numerically along the line of scrimmage, but for our purposes we will discuss only the 0-3 techniques.

A 1-technique tackle is normally referred to as a nose tackle. He lines up in front of the center, often “shading” or sliding his hips to one of the center’s shoulders. Because they are double teamed by the guard and center on nearly every play, nose tackles are normally big, strong, and stout but less athletic. Alternatively, a 3-technique lineman, who lines up between the guard and tackle, is usually lighter and quicker at the point of attack. They are asked to shoot their gap and pierce the middle of the offensive line.

[westnodak93bison]

At some point we need to trust the staff and apparently they see potential in the kid and he wants to be here. I'm ok with that. I'm confused as hell. We go from discussing a WR recruit to discussing which gap a NT and DT line up in?

http://chi.scout.com/2/651881.html

No, you are correct. Perhaps the confusion comes by way of using the term "nose tackle" as opposed to "nose guard". In a 3-4, the middle defensive lineman is can be referred as a either a nose guard, or nosetackle. So when using a tackle in a 1-technique, they can be referred to as a nose tackle. BTW, the "shading" referenced is normally called an "eye" technique, or "1-eye" or "3-eye" if you will.

It's supposed to be 'i' meaning inside shade. Head up alignments are even numbered techniques while outside shades are odd numbers. Then any inside shade is an even number with an 'i' connected to it. Sometimes a 2i technique Nose is called a 'G' Technique.

I think this is what you are talking about.

Don't be silly. They're in the Big Fluffy.

or a ceo over several business units that mandated that nobody could have below average sales.

Average sales = one week sales conference in Fargo.
Below average sales = two week sales conference in Fargo.

Not sure if it's standard practice or just that candy company.:D

Really??!!! I heard they had a difficult time giving away more than 30 to students at the last home game--better check my source again. Meanwhile, may I recomend the Red Carpet Hotel. There is no pool, no vending machines, poor parking, ingress and egress, but they normally change the bedding once a month.

That's not a very nice thing to call a woman, even if she is a true redhead.

You heard? Better come and check for yourself. I'll try to save you a seat!

Which one is the Red Carpet, and why are you staying there a month at a time?

I doubt you would have to "save" me a seat, unless its the Sioux Falls game--http://www.indianmotorcyclecommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/babyhaha.gif
http://www.indianmotorcyclecommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/babyhaha.gif The "Red Carpet" is the one with the "Red Carpet" sign. I don't stay there a month at a time, or at all for that matter, as it is normally booked fully year-round by the entire UND ticket sales staff and athletic administrators.http://www.indianmotorcyclecommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/babyhaha.gif I think the FB coaches stay there after the recruiting season too!!http://www.indianmotorcyclecommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/babyhaha.gif

Despite what I said above, this would see to be very solid logic. Why would any kid go to UND who could play for NDSU? Simply no logic to it. To prove it, the arguments:

1. But they have a med school.....but the player can do all their pre-med at NDSU just fine and start med school when done with football.

2. But they have a law school.....See above. Many fine lawyers who got their BS or BA from NDSU.

3. But they have whatever program NDSU does not have......well, you can't get a job in that anyway, so who cares unless you plan to pursue a PhD and teach/do research at a University. (Chem engineering may be the exception, but if that smart, pitch PNC to them.)

4. But they are they have crazy speed......show them actual data comparing recent recruits and let them know that Sioux Falls beat them......

5. But they have hockey......yes, I admit this is the hardest one to respond too.......:biggrin:

I would just like to say I had nothing to do with the drifting of this thread, or CAS not getting his ball in a hole, or Answer Guy dying before BlueBisonRock, but not before 56Bison73 (Where is 56???? Uh oh), or whether it is a nose guard or nose tackle, what "technique" is preferred, or the westriverbison got all brave and posted in the football forum, or Tatanka's defense of beavers and/or other rodents despite their color, or that picture of pie. I like pie.

Andrew was on the Kolpack/Izzo program this morning. He still hasn't visited. All it took was a visit to the Music Department, which is outstanding at NDSU. Michael Fairburn is a music major. I was talking to a music student a few months ago from GF in the Alumni Center. He felt that there were about 25 music majors from the Grand Forks area at NDSU. Guess thay don't need it for hockey players.

The music instructing staff here at NDSU is second to none. Glad to see Andrew is going to be apart of it, he'll enjoy it tremendously.
