Brandon Metz of West Fargo just visited. I would guess an offer for him will come very shortly.

I know Brandon pretty well as I've followed WF wrestling for some time. I LOVE watching that kid wrestle as he basically does what he wants to his opponent, including just shoving them out of the circle when it gets too close to the edge. I'm pretty sure he's the only one that beat this years verbal from Oakes, Michael Kelley, who won state for a 3rd time.

Metz's twitter handle is @brandonbison48...so unless he has a second last name, sounds like a pretty good chance he will be playing at NDSU lulz

Appears to be quite the badass. Here is video from "Rumble on the Red" where he defeats Oakes's Michael Kelley in overtime.

Here he is at a lean 220 (summer after his freshman year) coming from behind (4-3) to some kid from Illinois to slam and pin him with 34 seconds to go to win the national title in Greco-Roman in his class

MAMA LUCIA!!! (Slicky.................YALTO) look at that vastus lateralis (outer quad). He looks mean as hell in this photo.

I am also aware that Zach Willis from WF is getting some interest from NDSU. I have no idea how big the kid is now, but i know he is a beast. With he and Metz on the line next year for the Packers they should be tough.
I know that Willis is also visiting but am unsure of the date.

[BisoninNWMN]

Metz is ranked pretty high in wrestling.

For those in the know, is he going to wrestle in college?

Mohammed Elazazy | 6'5" 320 | OL | Menasha, WI | Offers: Illinois State

Visited NDSU recently. Scout article below.

Packers will be favorite to win the Title this year. Have most of their squad back from last year. Willis is a kid that will probably be around 290-295 this year. Very strong kid that definitely has potential to play at NDSU.


I am guessing Metz is being recruited on defense. He is super quick for his size.

[bajadanny]

I trust the coaches sign these guys up in the very near future

[1998braves64]

I trust the coaches sign these guys up in the very near future

If year is very near future than yes they might get some of these guys signed up then! :biggrin:

[EndZoneQB]

We are getting close to really getting that generation of local kids that grew up with massive NDSU success. Success breeds success.

[Alsen]

What about the kid from Carson Wentz's high school. Super athletic kid from Bismark Century. I forgot his name. I'll look it up............Zach Sweep Wow, what a football name for a running back.

http://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=5397326#/L0 State high hurdles champ at a very nice time.

http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/zach-sweep/Qdos8_TtEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/default.htm Fourth ranked player in the state.

http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1722609/zach-sweep I would project him as a possession receiver in our west coast offense. I would expect dynamite in the RAC stat column. Could be Zach Vraa, only bigger,stronger, better RAC. Nah, nobody makes catches like Zach Vraa.

Why wouldn't he be one of the first guys they go after?

And by the way....they won the state championship. Kid might like find he likes winning. We all know where prospects go to win football games and championships.

Willis had an unofficial on March 4th. He's about 290 right now and is dropping since track started. Metz is an absolute beast on the defensive line. Very quick for his size and his motor doesn't stop.

Also interesting to me, Uhrich has a Coastal Carolina offer (going D1)

Coastal Carolina has an offer to another QB, one with an interesting name.

Griffin Alstott: a 6'2 195lb Dual-threat from St. Petersburg, Florida...
And yes he is the son of former NFL great, Mike Alstott

You guys do realize that some of these kids might be the ones initiating the contact, right? His connection might be him seeing us play CCU, or some other publicity we've received. We might be seeing the results of Wentz's exposure already...

Cashing in on that Wentz success I see.

[BisonNation11]

I like the early recruiting of QB's, especially talented ones and this year specifically. Of course assuming Stick is the man for the next three years, if the QB from this class is head and shoulders above the ones already in the program, he would have the reigns for three years as well. Hope they land a big target and the kid stays true to his verbal. Also, QB recruit is one that can help bring in others, as it should show his true leadership qualities/abilities.

[Professor Chaos]

Yep, makes sense with the draft hype hitting a crescendo over the next 6 weeks. Take a stab and offer some high QB targets and let ESPN and NFL Network do your recruit marketing for you.

Let's see...we are going to have a QB get drafted in the first round. I would think as a QB you would be very interested in NDSU no matter where you live.

Ummm maybe a little....if we had a tradition of putting QBs in the NFL on a consistent basis, then yes I would agree with you completely.

When pocket passing QB's see how much NDSU's offense resembles a NFL offense and how that is helping Carson's stock along with his immense talents, the Bison will be piquing their interest a little more in the near future. With that said, I have a feeling we're set at QB for quite awhile with Stick and Van Dellen.

While I'm looking forward to the future, I'm definitely not forgetting the past. While I see Stick and Van Dellen as our current and future starters, I'm also aware we are stocked well in QB depth with Davis and Hendricks. I'm also aware that we have offered two solid HS recruits (Katrenick and Urich) for 2017. This should help in case the absolute worst scenario happens, 2000. Our coaches are definitely not resting on their laurels, or any other type of shrubbery they have around their offices.

Noticed that the Jacks made Zach Willis an offer during his visit. I know we have some interest in him and hopefully he shows up to NDSU camp and gets an offer. The kid is a beast.

Devante Dunn - 6' 2" 270 - DT from Illinois - listed as having a 2017 NDSU offer



Plainfield (Ill.) Nazareth Academy junior defensive lineman Devonte Dunn picked up his first three offers just weeks after winning the Roadrunners’ second consecutive state football championship.

Dunn’s early offers are from Miami-Ohio, Indiana State, and North Dakota St.

These guys are stupid. It's not a 1 size fits all approach. Proximity is key but Minnesota 900 miles from Laramie. Apparently they didn't learn from the mistakes they made at NDSU trying to recruit 1000 miles away. It doesn't work. Proof is in the attrition. Heck proof is in their first recruiting class loaded with DISTANCE. Kids like to be close to home. Not saying a few from 1000 miles away ain't bad but those who stay will be champions. Nobody will stay or be a champion.

Some truth to that.....Obviously all depends on the kid! It seems to me that if you pluck a kid 1000 miles away the best way to keep him is play him right away.

Problem is EVERY WHERE is 1000 miles away from Laramie so I could be wrong on that.

And absolutely, if you bring a kid in from 1000 miles away he better play right away. Brian Hill is a great example of that. Or Bruce Anderson in our case.

I look at our horrible class from a few years ago and the only remaining guys are 3 North Dakota kids and Zack Johnson

If I were Wyoming I would recruit like Joe Glenn did at Northern Colorado

Bohl has it tough. To the north you have Montana and its rural small and all the kids grow up Griz or Bobcat fans. Thr state of Wyoming is small. You have Idaho which outside of Boise is small and rural. Utah is rural and small oudide of salt lake. Western ND is super far and sparsely populated. Heck 10 hours to Bismarck.

So really you got western South Dakota, Western Nebraska and Colorado . And Utah. Heck Albuquerque is actually closer. Denver is the only major city with in 300 mile radius. Minneapolis is 250 miles from Fargo

Article by Herosports on NDSU recruiting

http://m.herosports.com/news/five-time-fcs-champion-north-dakota-state-begins-quest-to-fill-2017-recruiting-class-with-elite-talent



Mansell is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound signal caller out of Texas who holds FBS and FCS offers. Even though he currently lives in Texas, he told HERO Sports that his mom's side of the family is from Fargo and his grandmother went to grad school at NDSU. Keep an eye on Mansell, who just received an offer from San Diego State and Coastal Carolina in the past 48 hours and also has Ivy League options. Mansell said he plans to be in Fargo later this month.

Jared Brinkman visiting NDSU - OL/DT - Iowa Class 1A 285 wrestling champ



Jared Brinkman, Iowa City Regina
The younger sibling thing might play a factor here, too.
Brinkman’s older brother, Jake, is a linebacker at
North Dakota State. In his four years at Iowa City Regina, the Regals went 55-1 and claimed four state championships.

Brinkman plays center and defensive tackle for the Regals. Cook pictures the 6-1, 255-pound junior as a center in college.
“He’s not the 6-5, 275 guy,” Cook said. “But to me, you’d be hard pressed to find anybody who can play better

Cook said Brinkman has heard from Iowa, Iowa State, Northern Iowa and North Dakota State.
“I think if he gets on (an FBS) campus, he plays,” Cook said. “He’s an incredibly gifted, athletic guy.”

Bingo I had the same thoughts. We should hit them where it hurts. We should do some heavy campaigning in Kansas to weaken UNI presence in that state and Nebraska to reduce Craig Bhol's strangle hold.

If you make your decisions based on worrying about other schools, it's going to backfire. Worry about ourselves first and everything will take care of itself.

Craig Bohl Nebraska stranglehold? They signed like 2 players out of Nebraska last year.

I agree but I do think we should be recruiting heavy in Nebraska every year just by looking back at the success we have had from there...the absence of Nebraska recruits this past year worries me and I'm a little concerned about the Nebraska recruits the South Dakota schools picked up, I guess we will find out if my anxiety was justified in a year or two when we play them....but then again, a lot of it is about player development, something we excel at over other schools.

The south dakota schools are always going to get more Nebraska players just based on proximity. It's their Minnesota.

As far as Nebraska goes, obviously there are good players there. But I don't think we should recruit Nebraska just for the sake of recruiting Nebraska. Get the right players.

Not every player is going to be the next Stick, RJ, and DeLuca . Can't forget about the players who weren't exactly dominating like Sam Hahn, Bo Liekus, and Tyler Wrice.

I think the talent has been down. That's why we're targeting more Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin has been huge in recent years.

If your going to stock up on Nebraska kids or anywhere outside of ND or MN, you better be sure they will be good. With the 3 state tuition reciprocity, it's safer and more bang for the buck to get more partials out of Minnesota. Partials out of Nebraska still pay out of state tuition which is way way higher

Seems like we're seeing a bit more activity in Nebraska this year... maybe it's an up year?

[17>1]

All this discussion about focusing on certain states to recruit guys is an interesting one. The way I understand it is a coach/recruiter on our staff has some ties to a certain area and therefore he's sent there to get an in with the local coaches/athletes. Overall, there are athletes everywhere, and the Bison staff is going to recruit the best guys for positions of need, regardless of where they live. If a kid lives in MO that they want, they'll recruit him. If a kid lives in NE that they want, they'll recruit him. Do our chances of landing a kid go up a bit when we have a coach/recruiter that has ties to said state? Sure, probably a bit. But I don't think we just focus on kids from a state because the state they live in is called Nebraska. For every Dudzik, Emmanuel, Deluca, or Stick, you have a Heagle(WI), Jirik(MN), Beck(ND) or Jensen(WI). If they're out there, we'll find them.

Thanks you just made my point for me...Nebraska should be one of the states we recruit along with the other MIDWEST states you mentioned...if we stick with that footprint and get a few here and there from other places like Florida or Texas or what have you maybe for the skilled positions, I would be totally content with that.

I feel like we are repeating an old argument....but then again, this is Bisonville.

Wasn't really trying to make your point because I don't think we need to "worry about the absence of Nebraska recruits". I think the question was asked to someone on the staff about not getting anyone from that state and they said they filled needs elsewhere. If a kid from NE chooses to go to USD or SDSU there are several reasons why they may have chosen to do so. Earlier playing time, a different major, less depth to compete at in certain positions, close proximity, amount of scholarship offered, etc. I know for sure that there were probably several kids that the staff looked at, talked to, and probably even recruited, but in the end those kids chose to go elsewhere. They may have been the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th option as well. You said it best here "I guess we will find out if my anxiety was justified in a year or two when we play them....but then again, a lot of it is about player development, something we excel at over other schools". Recruiting is a guessing game for the most part, we never know for sure how anyone will pan out with attrition, and who will stay to be champions.

If the mods want to move my posts to a more appropriate thread, go ahead. Don't mean to be mucking up the recruit update thread.

Great photo of he and Tyler Roehl together, with Lincoln wearing a #40 NDSU jersey on his visit.

Langford is NE of Aberdeen, but still not too far from the Tuszka brothers' hometown of Warner (or Watertown - 2017 verbal Spencer Waege's high school).
Lincoln Gibbs also listed as a state qualifier in the sprints for the
SD State meet. Top times (?) of 10.8 in the 100M and 22.5 in the 200M.
Listed at 5' 11" 205 by HUDL, with a 4.52 40, 2352 yards rushing with
41 TD's.

“They have a great coaching staff and unbelievable talent and with the right players and a little luck, I think we can break NDSU’s streak for national titles. I think we could do that. Our expectations are high.”

[HerdBot]

Our future Dline is going to be batshit crazy. We could see Sundt at DE, Chuol at the UT (in a Leevon Perry role) , and then
6-5 Waege or McCormick (speed rusher) at the other end rotating or spelling each other. Dudes have size, speed, and will dominate. Super excited about the future of our DL. Now we get Metz at NT.

Not sure who this young man's father is, but if it is the long time assistant coach at WF, this kid will be tough as nails. A tough, rough, SOB who will remind people of Leevon Perry with his attitude and physicality. Either way, wish him the best in his decision.

How many recruits have we gained by not being FBS? I'm guessing more then a few would rather play for a NC and a ring then to just say they played FBS at Ball State.

Spot on. I all kids cared about was P5, then G5, then FCS, and if the FBS label is such a draw Easton Stick would be at Rutgers, Ellefson would be at Purdue, Radunz would be at Missouri, and a shitload of current players would be at G5 schools simply so they could be FBS.

Exactly. Playoffs and championships create an excitement and following that recruits mention when asked why they choose NDSU. I think this is an advantage over some G5 schools, but at some point the prestige of the higher level FBS programs takes over.

Let's slow down here. We are the exception to the rule and who knows what happens when this run finally does end. If you guys really think there is no appeal to playing in a bowl game, you do need to think again. NDSU is likely getting noticed more for the Carson Wentz thing than the championships. Kids want to know they will be developed where they go...and we can show anything is possible...even the #2 overall pick in the draft. I know some of you are REALLY out of touch with young kids these days, mostly because I'm not that old and I feel like I am pretty out of touch. Some of you FCS people are as bad or worse than the FBS crowd because you can't possibly see how playing in the FBS would be better than playing in the FCS. Frankly, same goes for kids that go to other programs. Some kids like to be the face of the turnaround while others want a piece of the magic/tradition. It's how recruiting works...you find what the kid is most concerned with and play to that strength. We just happen to have a lot of them right now.

I agree NDSU's current position in the FCS is a unique one. However as it is now, it is putting them above many G5 FBS programs in many recruit's eyes. The playoff system is beneficial to NDSU as the current dominant program as it allows the hype, exposure, and following to grow and gives them a unique and credible claim of championships vs less meaningful bowl games at the G5 level.

Of coarse without their dominant position in the FCS, this advantage would quickly fall apart.

Have to agree with most of your post. Most people cant see why FBS is a greater allure than FCS. Why? Because theyve never had the opportunity to be in a position to make that decsion. All they need to do is ask all of the players who were bypassed by the bigs. If they would have been offered NDSU wouldnt have seen hide nor hair of them.

My only exception to your post is "kids want to know if they are going to be developed". May be half the kids? As many just want to keep playing no matter where they go. There are many kid who play in the P5 and G5 and know they arent going any further. Granted our program is different than most in our division and we recruit a different player. Cant paint them all with the same brush.

Fair enough, that was pretty broad. Maybe I should have stated it as: Kids know they will have a shot at the pros here if they work hard and develop. You won't be overlooked at NDSU.

Basically for any young man, it comes to one thing between NDSU and WYO. We run basically the same system, so do you want to win at a program notorious for it or become a piece of the puzzle that could possibly jump start them into a winning program? Sounds like the WYO kid wants to win because he hates losing. I like our odds.

I believe all QBs we offered early have now committed elsewhere. My guess is next man on the board is Noah Sanders out of Apple Valley, MN. Good prospect that most would regard as the number one QB in Minnesota this year and also a camp kid. Holds an offer from Montana St.

Tore his meniscus after 6 games as a junior but Hedberg has worked him out multiple times. Also a top baseball prospect with big ten interest so has a sport decision to make as well in addition to showing coaches he is recovered from his injury.

Me also- looks like a great addition. Glad he was at camp already so he has been on campus and around the team and coaches feel comfortable with him as well.

[Mr. Burgundy]

Lets not underestimate how important Randy Hedberg is in this situation. Not only is he just dominant in recruiting the local area, having a QB coach on staff and being able to show kids how we develop kids in our program is special...and critical in these kids decisions. We don't get 5 star kids. We must develop kids that have bought into a certain culture. NDSU doesn't hold back in recruiting, up front they are telling kids this is the hardest thing you will ever try. It isn't for everyone. 12 months a year. Kids get about an hour off after Frisco. Then second semester starts. It is crazy how much football has been played. SOme schools end in November. Brock Jensen won 198,983,918,181 games for NDSU. A lot of playoff games in that #!!

So how many of our commitments year after year usually attend camp at NDSU? Like a percentage.

20 out of 26 last year or 76.9%

[natstar1]

20 out of 26 last year or 76.9%

Is that normal?

[EndZoneQB]

Is that normal?

Yes. I've heard numerous times how they prefer to get kids into camp to see them compete before they offer them.

So, you recruiting gurus, is what NDSU is doing in FCS unique? How does the numbers and rankings of verbals compare to other schools? I always struggle with feeling like following recruiting is like living in a hole and never peering out to see what is going on elsewhere.

Great stuff! Glad to hear Mick Garry (USD Coyote beat writer)
believes in the "Joe Glenn Rule".
To paraphrase Garry's take - the Bison get to pick and choose who they
want amongst the borderline Big 10/Big 12/FBS recruits, while
South Dakota and the others wait.

The Coyotes have yet to get their first verbal for 2017.

On the other hand, SDSU has been busy, having at least 8 commits.
They also have a verbal from a 6' 4" high school QB from Florida.
Will be interesting to compare the 2 careers of Ethan Bullock (SDSU) and Holden Hotchkiss (NDSU) (if they both make it to campus).

I don't believe any of the Jackrabbit verbals had a NDSU offer, so no
head-to-head victories yet for the bunnies. IMO it appears, with the
new stadium, the Jacks felt frisky and have gone up against the Bison
(and others) more than they had in the past. It's still early, but NDSU
has definitely held their own in this battle (IMHO).
South Dakota also, IMO, has also seemed more aggressive going
head-to-head with NDSU. New Head Coach Bob Nielsen is in his first full recruiting season with the 'Yotes, was previously with Western Illinois (Minnesota-Duluth before that).

I don't know if it's unique or not. I do know that by getting kids into camp over 3 days, they can get the feel if the player is a good fit and has good character and is committed. I think the days of picking up players at the last minute are going away. We typically don't see a team of idiots, thugs, or criminals anymore like we did in the past.

We are killing it in recruiting. We win upwards of 95% of the battles when we go head to head with SDSU, UND, USD, UNI, and even Wyoming. I think SDSU is focusing more on Nebraska now which is smart but they are more in competition with other Missouri Valley teams. But SDSU is beating out the other MVFC teams more regularly and their new facilities in probably helping a little.

Cant wait until we are able to get an indoor practice facility completed.

They were talking about the Sioux Falls Storm......

Dominance fatigue is when you are so good, people actually stop paying attention. It's sort of happened to my group...we are generally less enthusiastic about getting up super early for tailgating, the whole day(or weekend by the time everything is removed from the dome the next day) being "wasted" on NDSU football, especially against someone like WIU. I actually look forward to the winter because I get to do nothing on the weekends. All summer I rush to the lake on Fridays...all fall I rush to tailgating on Fridays. It's exhausting.

I knew who they were talking about; just didn't think it was important enough to use purple to show my sarcasm.

In regards to your group being bored with NDSU's dominance and success, maybe the "wasted" part is negatively affecting your guys' dopamine cells too much and that prevents the enjoying of the finer things in life.

you serious or trolling on this? if serious only in America does having fun get boring...lol

[EndZoneQB]

Serious. It's not that having fun is boring, it's just become so repetitive ya know? I love NDSU football and have been a season ticket holder for over 2/3rds of my life. What is the saying...variety is the spice of life? We always seem reinvigorated in the playoffs because it's new teams and more suspense. I think this year we were actually more connected after the USD loss because our season wasn't predetermined anymore...every game mattered even more.

I didn't really mean it in that sense, I just didn't feel like actually saying we were wasting a day on NDSU football, so I thought the quotes would help. It's just a lot of work and like I said, it kind of kills our entire fall. I didn't pull my docks and lift until basically November last year because I was busy every weekend in September and October...not going to do that again. Not only that, but if we have rig or setup issues, it takes more of our(my) time to fix it which eats up my week nights. I don't have kids or a wife, so I get to basically do what I want when I want to do it...so myself and one other from our group is usually stuck working until late hours or doing early morning stuff. MN does a great job being involved for having a wife and kid, so he gets credit there for sure.

With that said, we usually try to pick out a game or two a year that we don't bring the bus to, just to try to give us a break. The schedule seems to be set up far better for breaks than previous years where we have a bunch of home games and a couple of road trips all right within the first month or so of the season.

I realize this forum is not filled with the average fan, so this is probably falling on mostly deaf ears. I believe Alabama has lost season ticket holders since their dominant run began, it might have changed now but I remember reading an article about it.

I don't think we had a ton of blowout recently. Last year we lost twice, needed a miracle finish to beat Youngstown, needed a miracle to beat UNI, trailed UNI at half time in the playoffs, and there was probably another close game in there. Southern Illinois was only a 6 point win.

Right. The last couple of years its been a minimum of 9 home games and then 1-2 road trips and/or Frisco. I agree tho, I am excited for this season....just not to fix the bus.

Well, we beat FBS Wyoming and Craig Bohl for a great kid in Bohl's back yard. Now that's recruiting.

That's gotta sting a little bit in Laramie (as long as the info that Wyo offered Tucker is accurate).
