2018 MVFC Recruiting

[bruinbison]

Pelini Brothers & Youngstown State active in Nebraska with an offer to
2018 TE Bryce Stai - 6' 3" 230 - Firth NE (Norris)
Also has a Western Michigan offer

[bruinbison]

South Dakota and SDSU had early offers to Bryson Williams
Lincoln, NE (Lincoln Southeast), DT, 6' 2" 255 (2018).

Kansas State has now offered Williams.

Both the Coyotes & Jacks have also offered Phoenix Sproles,
Robbinsdale Cooper HS, WR, 6' 0" 175.
I think Sproles has taken an unofficial (?) visit to NDSU.

[bruinbison]

Brevyn Spann-Ford, St Cloud, MN (Technical Senior) (2018)
WR, TE, 6' 7" 220

Now offered by South Dakota, joining SDSU.
Also has a D1 offer from Iowa State and a basketball offer from NDSU.
With all the offers PJ Fleck has thrown out there in recruiting , 150ish,
am surprised Minnesota has not offered Spann-Ford for football.

[bruinbison]

Both the Coyotes & Jacks have also offered Phoenix Sproles,
Robbinsdale Cooper HS, WR, 6' 0" 175.



Phoenix Sproles with additional offers - Air Force, Princeton and Montana State

Sacramento State QB transfers to Fighting Hawks.
Am assuming he has to sit out a transfer season.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-football/4270226-und-lands-transfer-qb-sacramento-state



Nate Ketteringham, a transfer from Big Sky Conference member Sacramento State, has verbally committed to play with the Fighting Hawks, he confirmed Friday night.

Ketteringham has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound San Diego native started 15 games for the Hornets the past two seasons.
He totaled 3,387 yards, 24 touchdowns, 15 interceptions and had four 300-yard games.
The dual-threat quarterback also ran for 267 yards, scoring four touchdowns and averaging 15.7 yards per carry.



Fighting Hawks also following in on recruiting a dual-threat QB from Illinois
Owen Goldsberry (6' 1" 195) Hersey Arlington Heights, IL.
Goldsberry also has offers from Indiana State, South Dakota, SDSU, Southern Illinois, Western Illinois

[bruinbison]

Fighting Hawks and SDSU battling over OL Ron Audette, 6' 3" 295, Elk River MN.
Now New Mexico and Northern Illinois have stepped in with offers.
Audette is also a 2018 NDSU interest.

Fighting Hawks went into Sioux Falls with the 1st offer to LB Seth Benson, 6' 1" 205 (Washington HS).
SDSU has now also offered.
Benson is also a 2018 NDSU interest. (LB Dan Marlette and OL Austin Kuhnert's high school)
Speaking of SF Washington, both SDSU and USD have offered that school's TE, Zach Heins, 6' 6" 230.

[bruinbison]

Indiana State with recent offers in Minnesota, including Phoenix Sproles..........:)

Sage Booker - DeLaSalle HS - RB 6'0 180

Jevon Brekke - DeLasalle HS - RB/LB 6'2 185





@CoachGrantOlson

[bruinbison]

South Dakota also offers Sioux Falls Washington LB Seth Benson. (SDSU, Fighting Hawks).

@CoachGrantOlson

Indiana State also offers Mitchell Kartes (St Michael-Albertville MN) (2018 NDSU offer)
Interesting move by Coach Olson, can think of at least 4 S/ATH types that NDSU has offered
(Jackson Enz, James Kaczor, Josh Aune and Kartes). Would guess the Bison can't bring in all 4, 2 would be my guess,
so perhaps ISU can pick off 1 or 2 of the 4. Isn't St Michael-Albertville also coached by a former Bison?

SDSU and the Fighting Hawks fighting over another player - OL Nathan Boe of Lakeville North (Greg Menard's high school).

Jevon Brekke - DeLasalle - now offered by Northern Iowa and by Navy

[bruinbison]

Big day for SDSU yesterday. Jacks get 2nd 2018 HS commit, Mason McCormick from Sioux Falls Roosevelt (6' 4" 285 OL).
They are also getting a FBS transfer, Grant Schmidt, who will be eligible in 2018



Another former Rough Rider, former Ohio State recruit Grant Schmidt, is transferring to SDSU. Schmidt spent last year at the University of Cincinnati after leaving the Buckeyes, but has now chosen to come home and reunite with former high school teammates Taryn Christion and Chase Vinatieri, SDSU’s quarterback and kicker, respectively. The 6-6, 300-pound Schmidt was a four-year starter at Roosevelt, a three-star recruit at left tackle and the first player ever from South Dakota to play for Ohio State...........

..........As for Schmidt, Nelson said he's expected to have to sit this season out even though he’s transferring down from the FBS level, because it’s his second transfer. But Nelson also said that due to a coaching change at Cincinnati there’s a good chance Schmidt could eventually get a year back and play three seasons at SDSU.

So the kid has now quite on 2 teams in 2 years???

Redshirt year at Ohio State. Then he transferred to Cincinnati last year and had to sit out the year. In December, 2016, Cincinnati hired Luke Fickell as its new head coach -- Fickell had been the Ohio State Defensive Coordinator/Associate Head Coach. I'm not sure of the impact of the Cincinnati head coach hire but Schmidt decided to leave that program. Looks like he will be sitting out this season at SDSU unless the rules permit him to play because of the change in head coach at Cincinnati. It remains to be seen whether he can play college football -- he has the physical attributes but time will tell if he has the desire.

So he did quit on two different teams. Thanks for confirming. ;) But seriously why would he have to sit out for dropping down a level?

C. J. Rutherford - ATH - Chicago Lindblom (NDSU offer)
Giavion Mason - FS - Kankakee IL (Bishop McNamara)
Tierre Turner - DT - Chicago Simeon

So far none of the recruits who have verballed are from either Minnesota or Wisconsin.

New Indiana State Head Coach Mallory & Co are off to a fast start. Will be interesting to see if they pattern themselves after Coach Bohl and Wyoming's system and style of play.

[bruinbison]

Yea! Fighting Hawks get their 2nd verbal, S Kadon Kauppinen, Sun Prairie WI

There is a lot of really good football talent in Indiana and they are also close to Louisville, Chicago and St. Louis and not terribly far from Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Memphis, and Nashville. There are a lot of D1 schools in that footprint, but it also means there are plenty of kids that fall through the cracks if you are good at finding them. And even better if you are good at developing them. It's surprising IU and Purdue haven't done better with the improvement of Indiana high school football.

There are some legitimate programs on the commit list from Indiana. One kid to watch this Fall is Titus McCoy. He doesn't look like he should be a tough back, but he is strong and quick and made several good defensive teams (including the one Michael Tutsie played for) look bad. He was injured most of last year and his back up earned a scholarship to Louisville.

He is a good basketball player, currently a WR but the FH's are projecting him as a CB - 6' tall.

Not on the same field but saw him on TV. We had his school a couple times after he graduated. He was a beast in high school playing both ways. I hope he's able to get healthy and have a long career in the NFL.

Interesting to hear USD verbals that far behind SDSU. Yotes keep improving but it must be hard to keep pace with the Jacks. They desperately need to do something to improve or replace the DakotaDome. I think they made a smart hire with their head coach last year.

Well, if you compare the programs they really aren't even close. USeD is in the same situation SDSU was in before replacing CAS when we would recruit against you guys, except even worse. At least SDSU had recent playoff success and winning records, and a handful of recent wins against our rivals. USeD hasn't had a winning conference record since the Great West, hasn't beaten the Jacks since the turn of the century, plays in a dump that's adjoined to a very nice basketball facility (which likely just puts a spotlight on how crappy the DakotaDump is), and overall the campus at SDSU has had an explosion of new buildings and renovations that I'm fairly sure USeD can't match. SDSU has totally dominated the SD recruiting this year. Maybe they are trying to reach for some high profile guys to snag them when they fall through the cracks after the early signing period, but that seems counter to what the successful programs in the region are doing. I just think that the longer they struggle to put up wins and make the playoffs the harder it's going to be to turn their program around (obvious point is obvious).

Kennedy is also a 2018 NDSU football interest. He also is a basketball player and has a teammate, Ethan Youso, who is a 2018 NDSU interest in basketball. The 6' 8" 215 Youso has an offer from Duluth and Sioux Falls. Don't know if he plays football too, but lots of height for a town of about 5000 (Virginia).

Wow. So much wrong with this post. First, USD's campus has undergone a transformation over the last 15 years or so. Dang near every building is brand new or newly renovated. It's not even the same campus as when I was in school there 25 years ago. Not even close. If anything it is SDSU that is playing catch-up there. Second, the DakotaDome has undergone tweaks but is up for a major renovation and expansion project, so that is coming. As far as a recruit is concerned, it doesn't matter what the concourse looks like, or the concession stand, all that matters is that when you are on the field you are surrounded by a place that is jumping, and when the DakotaDome is full it is an awesome place to play for the home team, that place gets loud and is electric. But as far as facilities go, USD football has one of the best weight training and athletic performance facilities in the Midwest, period, it rivals FBS schools. Finally, USD has never had the same recruiting strategy as SDSU. The Jacks have always scooped up more in-state players while USD, given its location, is heavier on recruits from Iowa and Nebraska, plus USD has a history of pulling players out of Florida, Texas, California, and all points in between going as far back as the 1970's. Some of the best players in USD history have come out of places as far away as Florida. SDSU can pull whatever local players they want, that's nothing new. We're in on plenty of good players right now. I'm not worried about this staff's recruiting ability.

I understand that North Dakota and South Dakota have different approaches to pay for buildings and renovations for campuses. But if you say is true (I have no reason to doubt you), how does the school gets this paid for. North Dakota has to have more state wide income with oil (even after falling off a bit) and the rest we have going. Still we are facing budget cuts and have buildings on "all" campuses with deferred maintenance issues. Are your Politicians or School Administrations that much smarter than the ones in North Dakota. Now take is easy on the cheap shots this is a serious question.

Donations. USD Foundation has raised a butt-ton of money to make all these upgrades. You also need to understand that back when I was in school there, in the early 90's, absolutely nothing had been done to that campus for well over a decade, so I think they were sitting on a bunch of money. The Dome was built in 1979, around that same time the new Law School was built. The next new thing that happened was a library expansion in about 1993. So there was a ton of upgrading to do. The issue was we had some pretty crappy University presidents. I was there when Betty Turner Asher was president and she was universally hated by all students on campus. She did nothing. President Abbott was the one who came in and has made that place what it is today. He'll probably go down as the greatest president this University has ever had, and deservedly so. Thank God he didn't win the election for Governor.

Ok, you were sitting on cash, that I get. What is the size of the foundation now? I am not sure what NDSU is. Some on this board can answer that question.

Bonding that's how. The schools in ND cannot go the bonding route they must have the money up front.

[HerdBot]

Wow. So much wrong with this post. First, USD's campus has undergone a transformation over the last 15 years or so. Dang near every building is brand new or newly renovated. It's not even the same campus as when I was in school there 25 years ago. Not even close. If anything it is SDSU that is playing catch-up there. Second, the DakotaDome has undergone tweaks but is up for a major renovation and expansion project, so that is coming. As far as a recruit is concerned, it doesn't matter what the concourse looks like, or the concession stand, all that matters is that when you are on the field you are surrounded by a place that is jumping, and when the DakotaDome is full it is an awesome place to play for the home team, that place gets loud and is electric. But as far as facilities go, USD football has one of the best weight training and athletic performance facilities in the Midwest, period, it rivals FBS schools. Finally, USD has never had the same recruiting strategy as SDSU. The Jacks have always scooped up more in-state players while USD, given its location, is heavier on recruits from Iowa and Nebraska, plus USD has a history of pulling players out of Florida, Texas, California, and all points in between going as far back as the 1970's. Some of the best players in USD history have come out of places as far away as Florida. SDSU can pull whatever local players they want, that's nothing new. We're in on plenty of good players right now. I'm not worried about this staff's recruiting ability.

I agree with you. The Dakota dome isn't that bad and the atmosphere is actually pretty decent when it's full. With a renovation it will only be better.

You're right recruits don't care about crappy restrooms and concessions because they don't use them.

The overall campus is actually pretty nice.

Bonding that's how. The schools in ND cannot go the bonding route they must have the money up front.

This is correct. South Dakota has Constitutional/statutory authority to fund campus building projects using bonds sold by the South Dakota Building Authority. The bonds are typically repaid using the income stream from the building constructed through the bond proceeds. E.g. a new dormitory's rental income would be used to repay bonds sold to finance the construction of the dorm. When using bonding to fund construction of a sports facility, one has to keep in mind the repayment of the bonds consumes some or all of the income stream from the building. Case in point was the original construction of the Dakota Dome. The Dome didn't do much for improving cash flow at USD because the gate receipts were used to repay bonds. Going forward, the size of the Dakota Dome (seating just under 10,000) will always limit the amount of gate receipts for football. When SDSU constructed its new stadium, an approx. $65 million facility, around one-half of the cost came from bonding. The sooner those bonds are repaid, the better the stadium will contribute to the financial well-being of the athletic dept. While filling the new stadium for every home game is the goal, the steadily-improving attendance figures cover the bonds well and add revenue to the athletic dept. Compare: SDSU's "SJAC" indoor track and practice facility, an approx. $35 million facility used no bonding -- it was constructed with donated funds. (Makes sense: the SJAC will produce some income but not much.)

The size of a school's endowment (I assume that's what Mr. Meaty referred to as the "size of the foundation") may not be particularly relevant if the endowment, in whole or in part, cannot be used to construct athletic facilities. E.g. while I am a Jackrabbit fan, I have donated to USD's Law School. The portion of the overall endowment attributed to Law School donations are not used for athletic facilities.

They did a hell of a job
http://www.argusleader.com/story/news/2015/04/23/usd-law-school-trying-clear-stench/26230721/

Whether you can admit it or not in your fantasy land SDSU's football program is light years ahead of the yotes right now. And I'll buy into the Dump getting renovated when there is an actual timeline for it starting within a year or two, and it's approved by the BOR. SDSU talked about renovating CAS for at least ten years, if not longer, before it actually happened.

Obviously that different recruiting strategy has payed off for the Yotes as well, with their numerous playoff appearances, wins, and rivalry wins since the turn of the century.

Yep, I don't get it. It is one thing to pursue a dream, it is another forgetting a full ride with FCOA is a great deal. Worst is when we lost the Lloyd kid to PWO at Wisconsin, even if a great program.

[bruinbison]

Just glad it doesn’t happen to NDSU very often - tradition, winning, academics, gameday, facilities, you name it, I think it is less likely to happen to the Bison than most other FCS teams.

As far as Kuchel choosing a PWO to Iowa State over South Dakota’s offer.....
Who knows? Could be his dream school, or his family’s dream school, or his family has money, who knows?
Nice to see Kuchel getting the opportunity he wants.
There is hope at ISU. Matt Campbell is in his 2nd season as head coach, has the ‘clones at 4-2.

so you are judging a kid with solid family money for picking his hometown favorite team? Just like some kids grow up in ND hoping to be a Bison, that kid got a shot to play for his Badgers. Hope he does make it. We are fortunate this doesn't happen more often. You also don't know what is said behind closed doors. Just an example. Lets say (hypothetical) that Wisconsin had 2 seniors at TE. They tell the kid, look we don't have a scholarship for you today...but we graduate two at your position, and you would get that one. Essentially the 4 for 5 deal. Which happens quite often. My point is, nobody ever knows. Most of our offers aren't full rides either. Just saying there are a lot of moving parts and at the end of the day you don't criticize a kid for chasing a dream.

Depends on if the Jackrabbits want to deal with a team that will go out of its way to be more salty than their opponents. SDSU might be more talented, especially on offense, but they're a finesse team. Finesse teams don't do well when they poke the bear and the bear bites back.

If the Jackrabbits try to get into a physically game with the Panthers, they might win this round, but will be done in the next.

The 6-foot-2, 215 pound senior broke a multitude of Class C1 records in his stellar career, most of which belonged to former Wood River quarterback and newly hired Nebraska Cornhusker coach Scott Frost.

Those records are most yards in a career (7,050), most touchdowns in a career and single-season (86 career, 36 season set in 2016), most completions in a career (486), and best career completion percentage (.634).

Illinois State coaching changes:



......Redbird head coach Brock Spack recently dismissed his co-offensive coordinators, along with wide receivers coach Kane Kiernan and brought back former OC Kurt Beathard. Beathard was the Illinois State offensive coordinator in 2014-15, presiding over two of the most successful offensive seasons in program history.

Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Spence Nowinsky left the program to accept the same position at FBS Miami (Ohio). Running backs/defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator Lamar Conard resigned from the Redbirds' staff.

So how will these changes affect Redbird recruiting?

"I don’t hear a lot, and that’s kind of interesting. I hadn’t heard that there was any pressure to win now and that there were going to be wholesale changes," O'Halloran said. "I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, but that’s a tremendous amount of coaches to jump all of the sudden with the firings and the guys who left. It’s obviously a bad time of the year.

"I know they got Beathard back. It’s timing; you’ve got the dead period, you’ve got the holidays, so we’ll see. I talked to a handful of kids who committed to Illinois State, and they still seem to be good. I haven’t heard to any kids who are ready to completely bail out of ISU. They’re concerned. It certainly raises an eyebrow, especially for the kids who were recruited by the guys who are gone. ISU is getting something done though, because they're staying on course for now."......

RB with great potential



......after a senior campaign in which he rushed for 2,842 yards and 35 touchdowns,
Webb committed to the Bears with no hesitation.......

Having lost 3 LB commits, SDSU offers Jaden Snyder, 6’ 2” 205, ATH from West Snyder Iowa.
Has a walk-on offer from Iowa, his older brother went that route and became a starter at safety for the Hawkeyes.
Also had some recruiting interest from NDSU.

UNI also offers Jaden Snyder

[Honeybooboo]

Seth Benson (SDSU decommit) Signed with Iowa, wasn't his entire family SDSU grads?

Big loss for SDSU, they have to start over on LB if I'm not mistaken

South Dakota recruiting article by Jeremy Hoeck - Going Big in recruiting class

https://www.yankton.net/sports/article_3bed7382-e5cb-11e7-b4be-9f563b80308f.html#ath



A year after exactly half of USD’s 32-man recruiting class was linemen, the same was nearly true in the 16-player class announced Wednesday by Nielson and his staff — during a new early signing period, ahead of the traditional February signing day.

It was going to take more than one group of recruits to provide the kind of depth necessary, but the Coyotes are making headway, Nielson said......

......Improving on the offensive and defensive lines will help the Coyotes keep progressing, Nielson said.

“That’s where championships in our league are won or lost, so that’s an area we wanted to address,” he said.




The four offensive linemen include Isaac Erbes (6-5, 320, Urbandale, Iowa), Bryce Kennedy (6-7, 300, Virginia, Minnesota), Kian Rexroat-Potts (6-6, 310, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin) and Trevor Shohoney (6-3, 300, Franklin, Wisconsin).

The three defensive linemen include Ethan Burson (6-4, 275, Springfield, Missouri), Ja’Von Hune (6-2, 230, Wentzville, Missouri) and Brendan Webb (6-4, 205, Buhler, Kansas).



More on Brendan Webb, interesting athlete from Kansas



Sports in Kansas
@sportsinkansas
South Dakota landed a steal in signing Brendan Webb of Buhler.
(6-5 215 DE/ATH). His track numbers show what type of athlete he is: 54-8.25 in shot, 44-2 in triple jump, 23.6 in 200M,142-10 disc, 171-5 jav as a junior.

Wow! That is a HUGE group of recruits.

Illinois State — The biggest question that the Redbirds and head coach Brock Spack had on Wednesday would be how much of an impact could several recent assistant coaching changes would have on it's Class of 2018 recruiting efforts? Illinois State was able to hold onto all of its commitments and signed 20 recruits on Wednesday including 10 in-state names led by St. Charles East safety Clayton Isbell and Lemont wide receiver Austin Nagel.

Southern Illinois University — The Salukis and head coach Nick Hill signed 16 names on Wednesday including 9 in-state names. Besides signing two Chicagoland area names in Cary-Grove OL Brett Groves and Jacobs OL Jimmy Wormsley, the Salukis also fared well in both Central and Southern Illinois.



Clayton Isbell - 6’ 3” 208 ATH - was quite a popular MVFC recruit, with Rival listing him with offers from Western Illinois, SDSU, South Dakota, Southern Illinois, Northern Iowa and the Fighting Hawks

One of the players they signed was a big, athletic QB out of Indy. I worked a couple of his games and he could be a good one. He reminds me a lot of Tre Roberson in HS (another Indy product). His WR signed with Iowa. If they had a halfway decent OL his stats would have been incredible. You never know how it translates to college, but he looked like a D1 athlete on the field. I know he had some early interest from Notre Dame so I'm not sure where he fell off. Notre Dame admission standards are extremely high and they still stick with it. One of the best RB in the state had committed there but changed his commitment when he couldn't get accepted. He ended up at USC which is no academic slouch.

Tre Watson chooses to stay in the B1G and is heading to Maryland for his final year

[Mr. Burgundy]

Is this the first year we can remember that nobody in the Valley signed a kid that NDSU had offered? Benson chose Iowa after leaving SDSU. He had a Bison offer. Almost amazing how few battles we really had. In prior years we seemed to be fighting SDSU a lot, we didn't. Pretty sure the entire new staff at UNI must just recruit different areas. USD just offers kids we offer from their recliner and does no work. UND must have different plans as I believe they only offered one kid that NDSU ended up signing (Agbu) so they aren't fighting with us anymore. Just a unique year in recruiting.

Iowa State lists 3 schools a QB on their roster (Jacob Park) cannot transfer to:



Wednesday, Park took to Twitter once again to reveal that he has been given a release from his ISU scholarship. However, the release comes with restrictions as the quarterback will not be permitted to transfer to another Big 12 school, Iowa and a pair of FCS programs — Northern Iowa and Drake.

Northern Iowa is next on ISU’s schedule in 2019; 2018 will be Park’s final season of eligibility. Drake is not on any of ISU’s future non-conference schedules. The “Institutions on future schedules” exception would also preclude Park from signing with South Dakota State and Akron as ISU will face them in 2018.

They have a weird titled coaching staff. Head coach. Assistant head coach. 2 Co Defensive coordinators.
Defensive quality control

Passing game coordinator. Rushing game coordinator. Offensive quality control.

Apparently nobody is in control

Looks like they kept their recruiting coordinator but losing 5 position coaches has to be really tough recruiting. Damn, we've lost 2 coaches in 4 years and they just lost 5 plus a grad assistant and a strength coach. Of course when Neilson interviews for another job to get himself a raise...

Brandon Snyder had some issues at Iowa, will finish up in Brookings. His brother Jaden will join him at SDSU as a freshman LB. Jaden was originally going to be a walk-on at Iowa. Jaden Snyder had offers from SDSU, South Dakota, Northern Iowa.

Changes in Brookings......



There had been hopes Callender could be a force as a pass rusher

The Callender kid was a pretty big get. 6-5 edge rusher.

Ouch, the Iowa transfer has had 3 knee surgeries on the same knee in 7 months. Most recent surgery was in November and a fully torn acl

Impressive but I bet Stig's was higher.

To blow a .163, you gotta pound a shit load of Joose. But in all seriousness, the kids definitely an interesting story.

So the kid gets kicked off the team and Stig doesn't get fired. Do as I say, not as I do.

How would you handle the situation if an NDSU head (or assistant) coach got a DUI?

How would you handle it where you are? You guys have had experience with a coach who had a DUI.

Disciplined internally with a performance plan with warnings the first time and told he'd be fired if it happened again. While his second incident was not classified as a DUI, mainly due to the circumstances on which it happened, one could easily determine alcohol was a factor. It was completely unacceptable for multiple reasons and he was let go immediately (actually resigned before he was given the chance to be fired).

Now are you going to answer my question or continue to deflect?

You got all the drug dealers off the FB team yet?? 3 in one year - must be some kind of NCAA record!

Was put on a performance plan with warnings the first time. He did it again and was fired immediately as he should have been, especially considering the situation. It was unacceptable.

Now are you going to answer my question or continue to deflect?

I don't have an obligation to answer any of your questions, I will say what you know I was getting at before. The policy should be the same as for the players as it is for a coach.

Just want to clarify: So you'll just criticize other programs for their decisions without admitting how you'd like to see NDSU handle a situation with their own coaches. What do you think the punishment should be for players and coaches then?

What part of "the same" don't you understand?

Transfer U.

[Yote 53]

Two year starter replaced by an FBS transfer. I expect the locker room is a bit divided. Can't be a good thing for team unity.
