This is all I needed to see. Hope to see this accolade with his name in 5 years.

One of the photos showed a teammate name Goettl. Did Dan Goettl come from Menomonie?

True Dat brother!

[MankatoBison]

If I counted right, he had 80 trillion sacks and 37 trillion TFL's haha. glad hes on OUR team haha

[Professor Chaos]

Hmmm, a talented but relatively unheralded LB from a prep football powerhouse who was a team captain his senior year. Reminds me of someone (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Grant-Olson-88857).....

This class is becoming the Wisconsin All Star team. Kolpack wrote today that 6 players are in the top 25... and all are on defense!

What's the story on the leg injury, Kermit?

Which makes it all the "funnier" that Mussman called Wisconsin "North Dakota East" because of their recruiting success over there. Umm....OK. Their staffs use of twitter is humorous at best. #chestbump. How about try to coach up a kid. That defense was historically bad. Love the Wisconsin pipeline we have. Congrats to coach Goeser on this kid. Keep it up guys. Only 4-5 more verbals to go.....

Believe he broke his ankle early in the season.

What did I miss?

[reformedUNDfan]

What did I miss?

go read the hilter youth board recruiting thread.

[GRAFTONBISON]

go read the hilter youth board recruiting thread.

Sorry, rather go without knowing.

[HooliganBison]

go read the hilter youth board recruiting thread.

I think we should be more concerned about who sdsu and uni are recruiting since we acetually play them.

[td577]

I don't think we should worry about who anyone else is recruiting at all. That just takes time and energy away from doing things the Bison do well. If the Bison take care of their own business, everything else will take care of itself.

Interview with the new Bison.

[tjbison]

He gone too, not earth shattering news but worth a mention

Good luck to him on his future

[VirginiaBison]

Wow! Seems like significant turnover the last couple of days. It this normal, or has the recruiting classes been so good that these younger players are pushing older player out on the depth chart?

[BisonNeil]

The 2013 class has, so far, a fairly low attrition rate, only 24%. Not bad, especially compared to the previous two classes which had abnormally high attrition rates of nearly 60% and 70%.

[Bisonator98]

Probably a combination of a lot of things. New coaching staff, some players progress faster then others, some probably have injuries they don't want to deal with any more, some just want to dedicate more time to school, etc. Life happens and priorities change, if you aren't 100% committed its best to move on.

Good luck to James moving forward.

[A1pigskin]

I wish James Gates the best of luck.

[tjbison]

I would rather see kids leave on their terms than thru a criminal press conference

One decent thing followed by 1000 posts of shit. People don't forget. You can leave anytime. No need to return

Coincidence that Chapo is in the twin cities this weekend and TCB is asking him to never come back? I think not. Everywhere he goes his bullshit is quickly snuffed out.

[rutlandbison]

Good thing the folks of Bisonville came to turn some incredibly amazing news about a former bison being a wonderful person into some cuss filled posts dragging a poster instead of celebrating James. Great to see Bisonville hasn't changed.
