[Mr Meaty]

The Herd will run wild for years to come. Welcome all recruits damn glad to have you.

[SamsRams]

Really hope this is true. I trust everyone on BV who says this is legit but I have not been able to confirm with Demaris, his coach or his family. no one has told me whether this is true or not and remembering the last Milwaukee RB who gave a "verbal" I am not inclined to report this as fact quite yet.

Fun to take it to Wyoming though, that is for sure

[SamsRams]

Nice got a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter to get confirmation

This kid's nickname should be "One Time". Not too many 2nd downs with this kid . . . although it is a highlight reel.

[westnodak93bison]

Anyone know if he participates in other sport?

[SamsRams]

Wondering about Mr. DeMarris Purifoy,

And what is it you are wondering I wonder

[A1pigskin]

Impact player. Welcome to NDSU.

[GOBISON123]

And what is it you are wondering I wonder

Never heard anything about him in a long time, but it doesn't matter now, he will be a great addition to our Bison Nation

[natstar1]

How do Purifoy and Anderson compare to Frazier as prospects?

[BisonNation11]

How do Purifoy and Anderson compare to Frazier as prospects?

To me based off of what I've heard from coaches and general talk, Purifoy has a TON of upside but is very raw. A couple solid years with Kramer and a beast should be created. Runs like Ojuri. Might not have the shake and bake like Crockett but he can run through tackles. Anderson looks ready to go right now. Scary good after coaches get ahold of him. Comes from a military family and has lived around the world (Japan was a main point of discussion) so attrition shouldn't be a problem. I'd say Frazier is built to be a little more physical and these two have the top end to take any run to the house. Will be fun to watch these two grow.

[SamsRams]

Sending off a Q&A for Purifoy tonight. Any questions you want asked?

same questions as the other....I want to get into their mindset. At this point are they just happy to be signed and will figure it out once they get here or are they already thinking about the shoes they have to fill and expectations placed upon them. IS there a leader in the group.

[StL Bison Fan]

For all: other than something sports related, what else did you like about NDSU and fargo?

[NDSU1980]

What size rings does he wear??

Projection as a middle or outside lb?

[SamsRams]

Projection as a middle or outside lb?

wrong thread and yes I asked that of Mercadel

[17>1]

Could be asked of any of these skill guys, but if they had a choice, what jersey # would they pick? I'd be curious about some of their responses and which current Bison player may already have that number.

[westnodak93bison]

What other sports does he play in HS?

I'm always fascinated with military kids.
They have to deal with a lot of adversity (being uprooted often, changing schools, cultures, etc)
However, with one or more parents being military they most often seem tougher, are respectful, and more easily adapt to change.
To my point.........I'd like to hear what he has to say in terms of leadership, dealing with adversity, and the importance of overall discipline in his athletic life.

Form a question for me

[westnodak93bison]

OK so Purifoy is a military kid?

[SamsRams]

Yeah I knew anderson was didnt know purifoy was or should I say if he was

[StL Bison Fan]

Let us know when these are up. I really enjoy reading what the guys have to say.

[IzzyFlexion]

Form a question for me

"How has being raised as an athlete in a military environment molded your athletic career and personal philosophies?"

[natstar1]

"How has being raised as an athlete in a military environment molded your athletic career and personal philosophies?"

yes, make it sound like an essay question.

[unbison]

[IzzyFlexion]

[SamsRams]

eat shit.

Is that the question or do you want to suggest the seasoning you use? :hungry::duel::hungry:

Working on Purifoy now so get you questions off soon people

[IzzyFlexion]

that was for that natstar fella who apparently thinks he can be a dickhead without being called on it.

[ndsubison1]

Love the Q&As!

Maybe try and find out if hes played against any current Bison or FCS players?

[natstar1]

Not even sure what that means.

You don't think that sounded like an essay question? No 17-18 yo wants to answer that.

[QUOTE=natstar1;982807] Not even sure what that means. You don't think that sounded like an essay question? No 17-18 yo wants to answer that.

I'll go ahead and address your first sentence (in large font).
I'm certain that a 17-18 year old could easily interpret what you bolded above.

Another great interview---I noticed that like Sikes he mentioned the fan support.

[IzzyFlexion]

Good interview.
Looks a lot like Ojuri when in his stance.

Got to meet Damaris at an AAU junior track meet in Brooklyn Park last Sunday. I was there to see my nephew run and he was there to see his cousin run. I was standing along the fence near the finish line and his dad was standing next to me (I was wearing my Bison cap) his dad says my sons going there to play football and I said who's that ? Demaris came by a while later. Nice family, nice young man, seemed very humble.

Not only is the athletic side important but the character side is probably more important. Cant wait to see him play along with the rest of the team. WE are under 60 days until the Griz. I can bearly (haha) take it.

[2011BisonAlumni]

So....is this guy going to be the one to solve our running back woes or will it just become a 5 man rotation instead of 4?

[HerdBot]

I think he's a year away. He needs to bulk up. When he does, he will likely be our feature back.

[jcdcubs]

I'm sure Bruce Anderson, Dunn, and Purifoy will get more playing time after Morlock and Frazier gone couple years later.

[Bison"FANatic"]

I disagree, it is what it is, It is public record and the day we as fans and supporters start hiding run ins with the police that are not speculation is the day the program will start to go down a very slippery slope.

A open transparent post and discussion is the best way to handle it. It may suck sometimes but the truth is the truth and we shouldn't be hiding things.

If we don't talk about a MIP, do we not talk about a DUI or is that not the line and that is ignored and we don't talk about drug charges, well what drug charges possession, delivery. You break the law, it gets reported, keeps it nice and clean.

Kind of taking a holier than though stance are you not Herdbot. I seem to remember you being all over the Coprich info. Or is it just Bison run ins with the law should not be talked about????????

Transparency is the best route to take.

Indeed. Tough break with injuries, but happy to see he was able to get his degree.

[GreenfieldBison]

Congrats fellow NDSU alums!!! I am at once thrilled and at the same time heartbroken to see you move on. Best of luck in all of your future endeavors.
