Every verbal has their own thread. Add it there.

1. Look at the first post.
2. Click on player's link.
3. There's his thread.
4. Post info about him there.

You can post it here, but it will get moved to the recruiting thread eventually.

[El_Chapo]

4 commits playing in section championships in Minnesota on Halloween good luck!

Bridges grimsley Johnson and ellefson

All 4 win & goto state! They must be bison!

How dare you (and Tony) take a week off for the holidays? What were you thinking? :)

[Herd]

Can anyone tell me where the RB from the 2014 recruiting class ended up. Any chance he would be coming back to NDSU? Ejiya

[westnodak93bison]

If these 21 stick what kind of grade would you give this class?

[BFKasper14]

Didn't he go to UN_? Or was that a different guy that they say they "stole" from us?

He's listed as a redshirt at NDSCS.http://www.ndscswildcats.com/athletics-teams/football/roster/

I think it'a very similar to the 09 and 10 classes thst won 4 Championships. Very similar talent level and tons of midwest kids. Of course on paper means very little but the skill level is really really damn good. We have everything in the last 2 classes.

I like that of the 21 verbals, that there is 9 states represented.

[MAKBison]

I have not done a size/speed comparison, but it seems these kids all fit the typically size/speed for their positions. I dont see a guy that is an inch or two smaller than or lighter than.

[A1pigskin]

What is Dudziks 40?

[westnodak93bison]

What is Dudziks 40?
Its got to be low 4.4s IMHO. Not sure how we would find that out.

[TXBison]

If he's a low 4.4 he will play on Sunday's for sure, I doubt he's that fast.

[TXBison]

Meant to say electronically there arent many guys who will run low 4.4 at the combine, he is fast and has a chance especially if he can run that time.

[admin]

Added Max Haskins... I now count 23 verbals.

[NDSUSR]

I'll tell ya what...... This could be a banner year of recruits.

[THEsocalledfan]

Okay guys, what time do the fax machines start humming?

[Mr Meaty]

24 hours from now

Shoot; thought it was today.

[StL Bison Fan]

If you can get wday, Dom will carry this (I think he said 9am, check on this). He will also carry an afternoon press conference with coach k. And I assume when he talks about 6:30 he means he will be at the signing event.

[BisonNeil]

Seems like the number of PWOs are up this year proportionately and total number.

[KC Bison]

It think it was helpful that we won the championship again this year. I think the rumor was that once that fabulous class (with 4 straight titles) graduated that we were going to fade into being a mediocre team. I know that we won't figure this out for several years, but this appears to be one of the best recruiting classes ever.

It doesn't seem to matter. We win a Natty and we get great kids. We go 3-8 and we get great kids. 2010 class showed they will come for the program, not the accomplishments.

[tony]

LB: Jake Brinkman, Aaron Mercadel


PK: Cam Pedersen

[Bison"FANatic"]

PK: Cam Pedersen

Hopefully he is ready to go and compete because Barney scares me and field goals and kick offs are a huge part of the game.

[DIBISON]

Yes, it is early yet but based on paper....... This group should be an impact class, similar to the group of MW, BT, BJ, GO and so on. We'll know in 4-5 years.

I dunno. A friend of mine sent me the link to the SS.com recruiting class posts as their letters were coming in and those fans were absolutely giddy that Bubba had crushed Klieman with the 2015 class and they could not believe how good their class was compared to the Bison class. It is all about perspective at this point.

No they didn't. Don't lie and keep this off this thread.

I went over there a read a bit, they seemed quite pleased with their class. Didn't see anything saying they out recruited the Bison or Klieman....I could have missed something.

I tend to move all the posts except the first one out of the "Recruiting Summary" thread anyway - usually dump them into the other recruiting thread.

[Bisonwinagn]

Are you planning on breaking out the walkons on the summary page?

Ry'one Winters, former NDSU verbal, to transfer after freshman year

If he's interested and we're interested, it would be a great transfer. Heck he verbaled to us so you know itd a good fit and already knows the Tampa 2. I would consider this to be a home run transfer but I don't want to get my hopes up

http://bisonation.info/cb-ryone-winters-grandview-mo-2014-offer/

I'm sure we would. And obviously he likes our program a lot since he already verbaled here once. And next year we will lose 2 senior corners so the situation would be good.

It says leaving for personal reasons. If this is the reason, he most likely heads closer to home.
Now if he woke up one morning and realized he was in Laramie...

[westnodak93bison]

Not sure I would want a kid who commits then wants to leave just because it's Laramie. I'm sure Fargo is not for everyone. I actually think Fargo and its weather can help make kids mentally tough.

Normally I would agree if it wasn't odd circumstances. I can't blame him given the fact Bohl and his was basically recruiting him first when they were at NDSU and he got an offer to play FBS. Is Fargo for everyone? No. But I would choose it 100 times out of 100 over Laramie.

Now if your talking the running back from Wisconsin who changed his mind like 5 times... I would touch with a 10 foot pole!
