I think he is referring to Bohl telling folks (assuming he means random ppl around town by "folks" and not Easton's parents) would be a violation no?? Since coaches aren't allowed to talk about recruits prior to LOI? Or is talking about them only a violation if it is a media person?

Well, perhaps I am wrong, but I have been under the impression for some time that college coaches cannot mention an athlete by name that they are recruiting to anyone, press or otherwise. I heard former coaches discussing this on ESPN a few years ago and the rationale behind the rule was that it gives unfair advantage to the big time programs to mention recruits by name.

But, I may have misunderstood.

I am excited for the future. Time to move on to running back, defensive end, corner back, left tackle, and middle linebacker depth.
Its good for other qb like you said. Must be tough for a kid to have a scholarship on the table waiting to see if we get our #1 target. Big trickle down effect

I think it is very premature for any one of us to assume a yet unsigned recruit will automatically beat out someone already on the team. Lakes annointing Mertens the next coming of Jesus as a star QB when he signed to the Bison comes to my mind as a prime example of such a mistake. Besides, I hear Derek did a wonderful job lighting up the secondary as a scout team QB.

10-21-2013, 01:23 AM
Awesome news for Bison Nation and congrats to Mr Stick!!!

I am not quite ready to pass the torch yet. We will now have 4 quarterbacks on the roster next year, with Wentz as the heir apparent. I have not heard how McGinnis and Davis are progressing, but assume at least one of them is doing well and could play for us once Wentz is gone.

Exciting day, but it could be a long road for Mr Stick to see the field IMO. Kid has sick ability though....

Spot on. Look what happened to the dogs last Sat. Having to bring in a redshirt Fr. He was like a deer in headlights. Depth is important at all positions but IMO the QB is the most important position to have that depth. Even without injuries. We have had QB's change positions or leave the team as they saw the writing on the wall that their chances of playing at QB wasn't going to happen. Happens at a lot of schools.

You have to think Stick was high on the Huskers list. I seems possibly 3rd. The Huskers number one commit Darlington went down earlier in the year with major concussion symptoms. You have to think that he is healing up well though as within the last 24 hours the Huskers #2 (went to a FBS Florida School don't remember the one) and then #3 Stick both committed to different schools. To have both of those QB's go so quick it would seem like it is a good guess that Darlington is doing well and the Huskers then told that to the next people on the list. Lets hope that Darlington continues to improve so the Huskers don't try to swoop in at the last second.

It's good to be pulling players that are on Strong FBS teams recruiting depth lists.

For our style of offense he's a perfect fit. He is pro style qb with good running skills. He got overlooked because hes not a spread qb that Big 10 schools are looking for.

Smart. Reads the defense well. Good in the short passing game. Throws a great deep ball. He's probably the best combo pro style passer / running qb weve recruited in my memory.

He's listed as a top 20 player on most Nebraska sites. What's crazy is some sites have RJ ranked higher the Easton. Bison Nation will GLADLY take both of them! Great start to this recruiting class!

Now the real work starts!

If u are on twitter Easton is now recruiting other of our top targets to NDSU and reaching out to other verbals and welcoming them to ndsu. "excited to throw u the ball" type stuff. That's a very early sign of leadership and can very much help a recruiting class. A lot of great examples of this. Yeah, I like these kids.

I think ndsu gets these guys based on previous years performance matched with who else had offered. Now if they can get McDermott Vai, John Jackson, or the Tampa Robinson kids i think his point would be valid.

Absolutely. That's why I chuckled when his coach said he made up his mind before k state. You were spot on. I think it may have made the decision easier though. We've been doing well in Nebraska for several years

finally watched the video... kid is impressive looks like he is part of a similar offensive scheme that NDSU has (in my limited offensive scheme knowledge!). A lot of QB runs and west coast offense passing, but can air it out for the deep ball.

I would guess he would red shirt next year to give Wentz the chance to prove himself his junior year and he would backup Wentz senior year, if he doesn't steal his job outright?

Whaoooo! Slow down there. Yes, he is good in HS, but a lot has to be proven before he ever takes a snap at the collegiate level. Like Neil said earlier, we have heard the proclamation of the second coming of Christ before. He has to prove it on the field before this Bison fan becomes a true believer.

True, but Wentz has yet to prove his worth over a full game yet also so... it goes both ways. What we've seen is a pretty small sample size although he has proven to be capable in that small size so he definitely has the advantage. I put the big "if" in there. I was just wondering where he would fall in relation to Wentz, McGinnis, and Davis

Why? Every team has 3-4 qb. They will be given the same opportunity. Wentz could start for 2 years and after they would have as much of a chance as anyone. Heck McGinnis had a chance to start next year. All it takes is an injury. Davis could be a 3 year starter. Too early to know. Besides they are getting a free EDUCATION. Most people are smart enough to take that instead of 40k in debt

I think Tony A.'s point is valid, even though he is being ripped for it. Perhaps a better way of saying it is none of us should be surprised if we see a QB transfer out in the next 1-2 years if they see themselves buried on the depth chart with little hope to play if that is their desire. Think Jose.....he saw the writing on the wall with Jensen, Thorton, Wentz.....he was going to be 3 at best that year will little eligibility left.

The mistake Tony A. made is we have no idea who the "odd man out" will be. OR, if they are willing to stick it out anyway (like Thorton).

WTF?!?!?!? :facepalm::facepalm2:-->repeat!!




Exactly!!!


Why? Every team has 3-4 qb. They will be given the same opportunity. Wentz could start for 2 years and after they would have as much of a chance as anyone. Heck McGinnis had a chance to start next year. All it takes is an injury. Davis could be a 3 year starter. Too early to know. Besides they are getting a free EDUCATION. Most people are smart enough to take that instead of 40k in debt


Well the way everyone has a hard-on for this Stick guy...he must be leap-frogging to the front of the line not?

I got Jose Mohler right (that was 2 easy though) AND I called Ryan Stanford's transfer as well...come to think of it, this isn't such a stretch after all...:)


I hope that never happens of course..

Those who stay will be champions. It's unfortunate that some people on the team never see the field, but that does not take away from the hard work and help that they put into the team. Scout players are HUGE in preparing the team for the next week's opponent. They also push players to develop because if they don't, someone is right behind them to take their place. Everyone is a part of the team, whether we see them on the field or not.

Hey you are preaching to the choir, but if a guy (no you or me) values playing more than staying to be a champion, it will happen as it has in the past. I am just being realistic which I why I was surprised everyone was ripping on Tony A.

I also dont expect all of these kids to be around next year. They want to play and if the are competitors they don want to play behind anyone. So if you are the #3 or #4 QB are you going to work your ass off and never see the field? Remember they will be bringing in another new QB next year and the year after that. .

What you say is true and easy to say from the outside looking in. As far as the player is concerned they may have a different perspective. As in do I stay, we win a championship but I never played a minute of game time. Or move on to where the situation is more favorable for playing time and you get to do what you have always dreamed---to play college football.
What would you do?

Being.second string does not mean you won't play. It means the team is an injury away from you starting. To speculate whether a player will transfer or stay is garbage IMO. Let the situation work itself out. Fueling a fire that hasn't been started yet is destructive. Someone needs to be the starter for iowa in 2016 and it will most likely be Mcginnis, Davis or Stick.

And to speculate on the promise-premise that some one will get hurt so you can start does not serve one well either. Regardless of that reality.

But if one is #3 or #4 on the depth chart you seriously have to look out for your future because some one is going to start getting schollie money pulled.

I actually agree with both Sams and PL. Someone will be starting after Wentz is gone. Much of it has to do with timing. No matter what happens with Wentz, Stick will be in a position to start for 3 years. Davis for 2 years. McGinnis depends. If he beats out Wentz, he could be a 3 year starter. If he doesn't, he may only be a 1 year starter. He could go into the season as the #2 guy but gets the opportunity to play due to an injury and do so well he keeps the spot. So many possibilities.

I wouldn't be shocked if 1 QB leaves in a few years but that's just normal attrition. I just hope everyone competes hard and remains pacient. The time will come

The fact is very few kids have what it takes to play QB at the D1 level. I'd rather have too many QB's then none. I want a kid who is willing to compete and go out and win the job whether it's in practice or a game. Not someone who is afraid of competition or doesn't have the confidence to win the job anyway. Now if a kid who is currently on the team and wants to transfer because he doesn't think he will get a shot then I wish him the best. The bottom line is if you have the talent and the right attitude you will play!

No shit. Jose may not have been one of the all time greats but he is a former Bison that came all the way from California to give D1 football a shot. He started some big wins like Kansas, Youngstown last minute drive, and Montana State and was a great leader even as a backup. His height/weight wasn't ideal but he could scramble.

Brock started and was knocked out with a shoulder injury. That said, Mohler was 3-11 for 33 yards passing and an INT in the game. He did have 48 yards rushing.

But I agree, he had a role on that team. He was serviceable enough to win a playoff game and did just enough to beat Kansas. The Kansas win got us into the playoffs and was the start of the run we are on.

We have a history of solid scat-RBs who were fast as lightning, but never really reached their potential or had early exits at NDSU.

Shamen Washington (good player, nagging injuries)
Pete Blinco (gone)
Mike Sigers (gone . . . the best of the group IMO)
Darius Anderson (waiting . . . )

So, is Anderson the next good Scat-Back to be under-utilized and leave the program. IMO, get him some misdirection carries, not an every down back, but great speed. Let the WRs catch the ball. Sigers was a beast, and would have had a big impact in the 2011 Championship if he could have stuck around. I'd also like to see what Anderson can do as a PR or KR too.

Hopefully we see a lot of Anderson w/ Crockett and Morlock next year. I'm betting on a two headed monster of Crockett/Morlock, but there is room for Anderson too.

The announcer's voice sounds like Dan Cole's fake announcer bits about Brad Radke "Mister Three Up, Three Down." Now I need to track that down. Edit: Here's the link: third MP3 down: http://www.kfan.com/pages/common/audio.html His Brad Radke Spanish and "Johnson Takes Radke Deep" are pretty good too, and remind me of the announcer's voice, but I probably digress.

Don't forget about DeShawn Perkins...he was my favorite of the scat-type backs. He never reached his full potential because he played behind Lamar Gordon. He would've started for any NCC team.

Sorry I know it's a little old school but I couldn't let the above list pass without mentioning his name.

With that said, I do wish they would give Darius more carries, not only am I partial to these types of backs but with all the hype from last year (about him being so elusive and the hardest to tackle in practice) I thought I would've seen more of him by now.

Pulling Morlock's redshirt is still a mystery to me considering all the talented backs we have.

We don't run that type of offense. We run a smash mouth style of run game and guys his size can't keep taking that kind of beating, nor can they usually dish that out. I think he'd be great towards the end of a game after we've worn a team down and they're a little slower to the holes or shutting down the edges. I too want to see him get some touches, but he just may be the best scout back for guys like Bell (I know we don't need to worry any more), Flanders, and that type of runner, that NDSU has ever had.

FYI, the Dinwiddie's are both playing at Emporia State. They are 7-0 on the season. Daveon is being used primarily as a punt and kick returner and defensive back. He has 2 interceptions!

First of all I don't care if Shamen Benched a car, I'm never putting a 150 lb running back behind my quarterback and obviously I wasn't the only one to think this. They used him the right way.

And low center of gravity is a definition of a scat back, that is what makes them so hard to tackle, that mixed in with some elusiveness and you got Barry Sanders or a Shakir Bell...usually this is a term given to smaller backs because they are usually quicker and more agile and this is what Barry Sanders, Shakir Bell, and Darius Anderson are...(don't get your BVD's in a bunch now because I put those two guys next to Barry Sanders.

I think our definition of a scat back differs. I googled scat back and it says...

Sporting Charts explains Scatback
A "scatback" is a halfback or tailback and is more of a utility back than a traditional running back. Whereas a traditional tailback or fullback tends to run vertically through offensive tackles, relying on power to shrug off and shed tacklers, scatbacks are more versatile, and are often used in rushing plays to the outside parts of the field. Since scatbacks possess more speed, they can reach the outside and "turn the corner" faster than traditional backs, beating defenders and gaining yardage away from the largest mass of players on the field.

Quick running backs like the scatback also tend to be the target of more receptions from the quarterback, receiving screen passes and passes in the flat. They are more of a threat in the open field, as their size and speed can cause defenders to miss tackles, creating a larger potential for big plays. Since scatbacks also tend to be smaller than many players, they can use their size to their advantage by hiding behind the offensive line, making it harder for defenses to locate them during a play. Some scatbacks will also often play a role on special teams as kickoff and punt returners, using their speed and maneuverability to provide their team with good field position.

I thought of a guy like Shamen or Dinwiddie as a scat back. Same with Sigers. Quick versitile but not an every down player. There's a reason Shamen was hurt alot. They are too small. I think we agree on that.

Bell and Anderson are almost the same size. (5'8, 186) I haven't seen Anderson much but if Bohl comares Shakir Bell that's my only point of reference. IMO, Bell is a power runner but has moves. He's an amazing talent. I would call him a feature back. That's why his career stats are sick. Scat backs are situational

Shaman had one of the highest bench presses on the team. Strong little bastard.
And Bell is nothing like a scat back. He's a power back with moves. Low center of gravity and powerful


Shamen was strong...for his size.

Let's not get carried away. He had NOWHERE NEAR the highest bench press on the team.

Dont forget Dinwiddie too. Not all of these guys left due to playing time. Sigers became academically ineligible and became a rapper or something. Blincoe didn't have a chance with Roehl and Paschal. He had some injuries too. The scat back doesn't really fit into our style of offense. That's why they put Shaman Washington as a slot receiver like Smith.

Darius Anderson isn't really a scat back though. He's a mix

Watch some 2010 highlights and try to tell me that Sigers didn't fit into the offensive scheme. It was DJ and Voit between the tackles in a scrum, then Sigers would pop it outside and blow by people for 40 yards. He was explosive and a great change of pace.

Sigers got his touches. The problem is when your that small if you get a ton of carries, you will likely get injured. These speedy players entire game is based on speed and if you take it away, they have no value. Plus it's going to lose it's effectiveness if it's seen too much. It's the change of pace that throws defenses off. Think K State QB Daniel Sams when he came into the game for 1 play. (TD untouched)
(Sigers played the first 3 games in 2009 - and got hurt was lost for the season. Shamen was seemingly always hurt.)

That's why they put guys like Shamen Washington and Ryan Smith at slot receiver. Their skills are better utilized, their speed is a factor, and they don't get beat up as much.

There is a reason we go with big backs like Ojuri, Crockett, and Lang. They don't get hurt and they deliver the blows, not take them. Heck Ojuri outweighs Sigers by 45 pounds and he's fast! He outweighed Shamen by 60 pounds!! No arm tackling those guys! (Now think Tyler Roehl who outweighed Ojuri by 20 lbs)

I remember reading Roehl had more bench reps than every running back in the NFL combine and was better than most linebackers. Incredible strength. Must have hurt like a bitch to tackle him.

Shamen I remember reading something about his bench press. It was several years ago but for his weight of a measly 150 lbs, he benched well more than twice his weight which was pound for pound the best on the team. It was quite ridiculous actually. Can't remember how much but it was a surprising number something like. 350 or more. So pound for pound would have been a better way for me to word it.

We've gotten scholarship guys who turned down Big Ten walk on offers but that's kind of different. Obvioously we've regularly beaten FBS teams (Boston College, Pitt, Colorado St, Mountain West, Sunbelt, and most MAC schools come to mind) many times but not Big Ten that I know of. Seems like they lock up most of their guys early. Either way I am very happy he remains committed. He will be a star here and fits our offense like a glove

And I really hate all of the passive-aggressive posts/tweets about "hoping the recruits stay true to their word". These are 17-18 year old kids making huge decisions about their futures. I never fault a verbal commit for flipping (either direction mind you) and I sure don't fault a verbal who flips after a coaching change. He signed up for the entire program and Bohl was a big part of the package the recruit signed up for. The thing that he verballed to is different now. No fault at all if he re-evaluates once things change.

With that said, if a "verbal" is taking visits and accepting phone calls he isn't really a commit anyway. I expect the Bison coaches to recruit the best class, and that includes soft commits to our rivals who are open to hearing our message.

Good question. Don't know if he is but you can bet he will be watching Sat. morning along with all the other high school players that know of NDSU one way or another. Being on national tv is a huge deal for NDSU not only for this year but think of the juniors who finished their season a month or two ago and will be in the recruiting mix next year.

I think they are plenty motivated. I spoke with a captain Saturday night and his biggest concern was recruiting. He hoped the recruits could see through the smoke and understand that this is about a program and not one man. Talk about a guy who can see the big picture!

I hear you but with an attitude like that, why even follow recruiting? You could say that about any player on any team across the nation. We got ourselves a great qb from the midwest which is a tough to find. As far as he knew, we were changing offenses and philosophies and offers were no more. He found out thats not true and reaffirmed. He has an offer from Rutgers and he is still committed. That shows what kind of character he has.

This recruiting class was already great looking before any changes happened. We probability only have 10-11 more scholarship guys left and we have offers out on some really talented guys. Even with an average finish to recruiting this class is looking good

We had so many viewers on Saturday that we were trending nationally on Twitter. The Klieman hire was a page 1 story on ESPN.com too and our next 2 games will be on ESPN. Internal hire for a coach that will reload. Future is great! Recruits want to be here

Can you blame him? Those tweets were made on Saturday night when "the sky is falling" sentiment was all over Bisonville and most of us should be more mature than a 17-18 year old kid. I'm pretty sure every commit had the same reservations but not all of them tweeted about it, just like not all fans were on this board Saturday night venting and lamenting.

Your right.... those tweets are more mature that half the shit spewed here Saturday night, myself included! Goes back to the rule "beware of any communications when your emotional."

Nothing is a guarantee, but it is a positive step. After they sign the line, it doesn't mean they will be around 2 years down the road. Everyone was thrown a curve when Bohl took the job at Wyoming. I know if I was in the shoes of these recruits, I would have looked at other options too.

You have to realize his tweet was likely in response to his phone lighting up like a Christmas tree by other schools reaching out to him and others. He made the commitment to NDSU when he did because he wanted to be done with the stress of recruiting. He was thrown back into the stress of recruiting due to things out of his control.

Odd that things changed so quickly for him. I thought he had this Rutgers offer for a while.

In any case, can't really blame him for choosing a Big Ten school over NDSU, even if it's a crappy Big Ten school.

Like getting cheated on by a hot chick. Took her out for a nice dinner last night. Then whammy, next day "I've been cheating on you this whole time!"

Good luck to the kid. Can't fault a kid for trying to go FBS. Big 10 and NYC area.

Also, Bisonation... leave the kid alone on Twitter please.

That's sucks but don't matter....THREEPEAT!

Losing Easton Stick doesn't matter? What planet are you on? This is how teams get as good as we are. We build for the future. You need the future. Easton was the biggest recruit in years. His offer list is very impressive. Named the #5 recruit in Nebraska today. Top 4 are going high major. He is said to be the best QB recruit in NE for years. This is a BIG...BIG LOSS. This kid was the leader of the recruiting class, the signal caller and was ALL IN, to say the staff is shocked would be an understatment.

Not sure why it was necessary for him to be so pro-NDSU and talk about his time in Fargo with "future teammates" and all that unless he actually felt confident about his decision. His tweet was very Lebron-ish (obviously)

So this is confirmed by the staff as actually happening, not a twitter hack.

Guessing Rutgers went all in on him last night after the visit. Easton said he would sleep on it. Man, I'm crushed.

Well we didn't get our #1 guy back in 2008 either but the #2 guy (Brock) was pretty damn special! Things happen for a reason. I'll take the guys that commit and see it thru over a flip flopper any day!

I have to wonder who Rutgers lost to turn on the charm for Stick.

I can confirm...this is news to EVERYONE right now. He never seemed like a "I'm taking my talents to the worst town in America, New Jersey" type kid to me. This is nuts. This kid is legit good and the future of the program down the road.

It's not a "fold up the tent" moment either. We are set at QB for a couple years, another will come along. Success breeds success. We can't expect to have the coaching turnover and not lose recruits over it. Let's just take a deep breath this year and not worry too much about a single recruit no matter who he is.

Not going to get too upset about losing a kid that has taken 0 snaps for us and had yet to spend 1 day on campus as a student. This recruiting class isn't going to crumble with the loss of one kid, nor will it be deemed the greatest ever with just one kid. Plus, I'm really trying to get this "don't matter, THREEPEAT!" phrase of the ground.

At least we lost him to a Big 10 school, not Wyoming!

You realize that alot of that is LUCK......That is like Sid Hartman every year saying....Yeah, we don't have as many 3,4,5 star kids as the other schools, but we had Greg Eslinger and he was a zero star kid who won the Rimington award.

My answer to that......I will take a kid with a TON of offers anyday over someone who doesn't. That means a ton of people evaluated and wanted someone. Recruiting isn't an exact science and Brock Jensen is a PERFECT example, but you don't win the percentage game very often doing that. UND takes kids yearly because they were the only offer a kid received. Free school...sure, I will go to UND. You have to win huge battles. Alot of digging to see if this is legit or not. Rutgers....enjoy the visits. Very safe community!

Depth wise, the QB spot is the deepest spot on the team. We could potentially have starters there for 4 years. Cole is the real deal by the way. Making every throw, showing leadership. There is a battle after Wentz. You just had to love this kid. This isn't a positive way to start the day, considering he verballed in Fargo 24 hours ago...for the 4th time.

Well this just ruined my day :( he was all about NDSU all over his twitter!! He never said ANYTHING about Rutgers. I don't get it. And it's sort of immature. But then again, he's 18 and we all made bad decisions when we were 18. Any other decent QB recruits for this season? Wentz is good for two years so we sort of need a recruit this year I would assume.... Whatever have fun mulling around in the bottom of the FBS and playing at the BBQ chicken wing bowl.
