Not much information him. What's the connection or how did we find him so early? Seems random that he would have been here twice already. He must be a high target of ours or is he REALLY interested in being here?

[23Bison]

And so it begins!! Now I'm going to be watching this thread like a hawk!! Not that kind of a "hawk" the good kind that enjoys football at NDSU!!

Talk about a man among boys. His QB skills remind me of Ben Roethlisberger, only a bit more mobile.

I get the feeling that he's more interested than we are. At least from watching his film, I didn't find anything that made him standout. But I'm not a coach or even a former player, so what do I know.

Potentially could be related to Phoenix Sproles? Saw a tweet from Phoenix referencing him.

Another 2019 name NDSU has been connected with is Travis Yohnke from
Parkers Prairie MN, a 6’ 5” 230 TE. Has been on a campus visit and NDSU
was going to be watching his basketball game this week (as was Wyoming).
In addition to offering David Roddy, UNI got their offer in to Yohnke before that game. Yohnke has also taken a Minnesota visit already and looks to be very interested in getting an offer from the Gophers.

Travis Y is RECRUIT NÚMERO UNO. A must get for NDSU. Kid loves loves NDSU. UNI was dirty offering him the same day hedberg announced he was going to his bball game.

This is a Noah gindorf type kid, he will get FBS offers and gophers. But NDSU needs to be aggressive with him

Mike Felt the ndsu basketball player coaches there too, so there's your "IN" bison coaches!

Have we always put this many offers out this early? Seems like we have offered some really talented players.

The early signing period changed timelines. Allowed the coaches to put more focus on the next years class.

[SamsRams]

The early signing period changed timelines. Allowed the coaches to put more focus on the next years class.


Correct. Years past this time would be when most of the junior evaluations would happen and they would put together their board of prospects. With the early signing period last year I’ll bet they already have their board and are comfortable making offers.
One thing to remember is these are all verbal offers. Most of these players will never get written offers from NDSU. The important offer period will still be May, June and July. Anybody know if the written offers timeline moved up with the early signing period?

[ndsubison1]

Not much information him. What's the connection or how did we find him so early? Seems random that he would have been here twice already. He must be a high target of ours or is he REALLY interested in being here?

Thats Buddhas area. Players this early are usually high targets

I'm not sure that's true in this case. Not much recruiting information and I don't think he has an offer from us.

One recruit mentioned lately is RB Evan Hull of Maple Grove MN. He has had gameday visits to Minnesota and Iowa, and 247 reports Hull has visits scheduled to Iowa 1st, then to Fargo (March 9th), Iowa State and SDSU. With the way offers have been flying around, will be interesting to see if he gets to Fargo without an offer from the Hawkeyes, Gophers or Cyclones.
Hull isn’t exactly an under-the-radar prospect - 247 has him rated a 3 star -
GopherHole has this summary:



2017 All-USA Today Minnesota First Team. All State First Team. Star Tribune All Metro First Team. KARE11 All Metro. In 12 games, has 320 carries for 2174 yards and 19 TDs. In 2017 T&F, recorded a 10.78 100m and 21.81 200m. Has recorded 4.4 40, 32" vertical, 255 max bench, and 405 max squat.

Question to anyone who belongs to the 247 Bison Report. Why under 2019 football offers is David Roddy listed as being offered and his position is listed as "Small Forward"??? To anyone not reading all of the post the keywords are "Football Offers"

Question to anyone who belongs to the 247 Bison Report. Why under 2019 football offers is David Roddy listed as being offered and his position is listed as "Small Forward"??? To anyone not reading all of the post the keywords are "Football Offers"

Roddy is being recruited for both football and basketball, depending on the school. He was offered by NDSU for football but believe has basketball offers from the likes of UNI, UND, etc. He is a QB, and believe NDSU offered him as such. He will need to make a decision on which sport to pursue in college.

[bruinbison]

NDSU has offered Adetomiwa Adebawore, 6'2" 240 DE/DL out of North Kansas City. Holds multiple offeres already from: Army, Colgate, Cornell, Northern Iowa, Princeton, SDSU, Toledo and Tulane.

https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2019/adetomiwa-adebawore-211269

Has committed to Northwestern

[bruinbison]

Lots of visitors for the spring game. Some interesting recruits include:

Joshua Moore - 5’ 11” 175 - CB - Rockhurst KC (MO)

Peter Udoibok - 6’ 4” 195 - WR - Cretin-Derham Hall (Northern Iowa offer)

Nasir El-Amin - 5’ 11” 180 - WR Minneapolis North (Arkansas State offer)

Billy Riviere - 6’ 4” 240 - TE - Wayzata (offers from Eastern Michigan, Fighting Hawks)

[ndsubison1]

Nasir related to Khalid?

[EndZoneQB]

Nasir related to Khalid?

I think it might be his second son? His other kid, Ishmael, is at Ball State. I didn't see us connected to him before?

[bruinbison]

Nasir related to Khalid?

I think he is a cousin, not sure of that, but the Minneapolis North commonality sure seems to clinch it.

Edit: Nephew

El-Amin legacy at North

The last name of sophomore guard Nasir El-Amin — who started in the Class 1A title game — sounds familiar, and with good reason.

His father, Markram El-Amin, was a star player for North, graduating in 1988. Uncle Ishmael El-Amin starred for the Polars and is a 1994 alum. Another uncle, Khalid El-Amin, led North to three straight state crowns from 1995-98. Brother Malik El-Amin led the Polars to the Minneapolis City Conference in 2011.

Ryan Burns reports an offer could be near from Minnesota after Peter Udoibok did well at the Gophers’ recent camp. Udoibok has an ambitious camp schedule in June, so looks like the next NDSU 2019 offer to blow up in recruiting, ala Sioux Falls Lincoln OL Grant Treiber (The 6’ 6” 280 lb Treiber has recent offers from Missouri - Oregon - Iowa State - Nebraska - Wisconsin - Minnesota).

I liked his answer as to why NDSU over K State, Cincinnati and the other FBS schools ... Because they're afraid to play the Bison. Thought that was not only a funny answer but pretty telling about how those wins have recruting power.

Evan Hull article

http://m.startribune.com/maple-grove-and-running-back-evan-hull-aiming-for-no-retakes/485749881/



Maple Grove running back Evan Hull rushed for over 2,100 yards and 19 touchdowns last season, helping the Crimson to its fifth consecutive state tournament appearance.

This fall, the incoming senior hopes to help the team win its first state championship.......

......Recruiting interest:

Hull said he started being recruited last summer after attending the University of Minnesota football camp. He received his first scholarship offer from North Dakota in early February and has since received offers from Buffalo, North Dakota State, Air Force and most of the schools in the Ivy League.

Hull, whose goal is to play for a Power Five school, said it’s humbling to receive interest from colleges. He said he ranks schools in part on how interested they seem in him, something he gauges by talking with coaches.

“I want to go somewhere where I feel like I’m really wanted,” he said.......

SDSU is having a very good recruiting season, up to about 10 verbals, and the Jackrabbits have won quite a few Head-to-Head MVFC battles - but I don’t think the Bison have lost a head-to-head recruiting battle yet with them.

Hunter Poncius is a 6'8 260 lb OL from Buffalo, MN. Not very active kid on social media, but appears to be picking up strong interest. Also plays Hockey for Buffalo.

Tall skinny frame like Landon Lechler. These are the types of recruits we excel at.

Hunter Poncius has done a good job of keeping his recruiting quiet. Neither the Jackrabbits site or the Fighting Hawks site list him with an offer, nor do the Coyotes (although they are not very active on their site).
Nice reporting Ryan!

Canyon Bauer commits to the Jacks. Had offers from NDSU, UND, USD and PWOs from Iowa and Minnesota.

[THEsocalledfan]

This kid is pretty good; I've watched him a few times. Currently SDSU, UND, and USD offers. He is not big, but very athletic. Wonder if coming to NDSU individual camp?

Gabe, when we are heads up with SDSU, even in SD, we usually win the battle. You aren't giving NDSU enough credit for what they do down here recruiting.

I think that really depends on the position the player is expected to play. I would never expect us to beat out SDSU for a WR from SD. Now a D-line or O-line, we better take that kid without a problem.

I guess we'll see with Bo Donald. It will be a test to see if SDSU has made up any ground on the recruiting trail and keeping in state talent. Historically, you are correct.

The thing with recruiting between SDSU and NDSU (and the rest of the Valley really) is that with both schools successes, they can reach for higher targets which then filters down to the other teams. Let's say NDSU gets a P5/FBS/3-star guy. Well, that leaves a 2-star guy that they normally would have had to the rest of the Valley. Rising tide lifts all ships. Should be a pretty interesting year watching how the recruiting battles play out.

I haven't seen much for commitments for UNI so maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but I think this recruiting season is underscoring the fact that SDSU has passed them up as well. The results on the field over the last few years have shown it and now that seems to be translating to recruiting. It seems SDSU is beating them with regularity in the recruits' living rooms. It wasn't that long ago that MSP was "the battleground" between NDSU and UNI... now it seems SDSU is the primary threat there. Pretty crazy to think about because just 10 years ago UNI owned this conference. Now they're the 3rd fiddle at best.

[Mr. Burgundy]

It sounds like the two early LB's from Illinois have really been beneficial in recruiting. Working hard on this class. Leaders! Gotta love that role.

[THEsocalledfan]

I guess we'll see with Bo Donald. It will be a test to see if SDSU has made up any ground on the recruiting trail and keeping in state talent. Historically, you are correct.

Had to go look him up; Kimball, SD. Geographically, I'd think that is a tough get for NDSU. It will be interesting.

[23Bison]

I'm looking into ATH Cameron Baker out of Council Bluffs, IA. He has offers from Iowa, Indiana, UNI and NDSU. He had visited NDSU already this spring it appears and loved it and retweeted Anthony Colemans's commitment. Would be a great get!!

Saw an article the other day on Iowa’s recruiting - my recollection is that they already have the scholly RB & LB’s covered for this season (barring a change). So, fwiw, thought that would improve NDSU’s chances with Baker.
Also, Iowa took a bunch of PWO LB’s in their last recruiting class.

Oh that's awesome! I didn't look into what Iowa had for recruits yet so that was some interesting information! Yeah last year they took a pile of PWO LBs so I would think that has got to help for sure!

https://247sports.com/college/notre-dame/Article/Quarterback-Trevor-Bycznski-shines-during-Notre-Dame-Fighting-Irish-Elite-Skills-camp-118932881/Amp/?__twitter_impression=true



......In looking at his recruitment, Bycznski already holds offers from Bowling Green, Buffalo, Findlay, Georgetown and Wayne State......
......As a junior, Bycznski threw for over 3,000 yards and had 26 touchdown passes, while only tossing five interceptions. He also ran for 12 rushing scores. Per 247Sports, Bycznski is listed as the No. 64 pro-style quarterback nationally and No. 58 prospect in Ohio from the class of 2019.

It's summarized pretty well here: https://247sports.com/college/north-dakota-state/Season/2019-Football/Offers/

I believe the only FCS battles NDSU has lost are Hoitink to Penn and Bauer to SDSU. There's quite a few losses to FBS... mostly P5 right now.

Pretty good start I'd say to the 2019 recruiting season. :)


Were getting so good we can now pull Illinois kids with G5 offers. The only time we seem to lose is someone who wants to go Ivy League or has a power 5 offer. Nobody can really compete with Ivy for flat out education or Power 5 schools but we have won some of those battles

[NDSU1980]

Good call, I forgot about that one and 247 never listed it.


Thanks. I thought I had missed someone that had gone to Harvard but couldn't think of who. I also forgot that NDSU reportedly offered Thomas Motzko shortly before he committed to SDSU so that would be another.

So it would break down like this.

You can add Javier Derritt to the UN_ list as well. He definitely had a hawk offer according to 247 https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Javier-Derritt-117172/RecruitInterests/

Is the consensus now that the recruit rush is over? Or do we expect a couple yet?

Typically we get the guys who go to the camp to commit within a few days. Not sure how many other camp players have offers out.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing it spread out a little. With the 2 signing day classes, there are a ton of gems/overlooked players who peaked late in the year for the later February signing day period. When you sign too many guys in June, you run the risk of them having a crappy senior and blowing all your scholarships in one sitting. For that reason I like the blue chippers early, some later in the year, and a handful in February. We got 4 really good players in February, the 3 kids from Florida and Jasir Cox.

Get on the horn and give Coach K some tips on how to recruit.

The formula I mentioned is exactly what we did last year. Huge early wave in June. 5 or 6 in July. Slow until a big November / December. Then 4 in February

[23Bison]

The kid that I think is showing a lot of interest in NDSU is the VA Db Samuel-Salih Fort.

Yep, sounds like a very good playbook for NDSU with that addition of the new early signing period in December last year. NDSU does a great job of getting early commits, and the coaches decided to keep a few schollies in their back pocket for the later signing period, then go find some overlooked players or players whose other offers fell through. Most other FCS schools could (should?) be envious of NDSU’s ability to do that.

Would like to see another potential CB. Last year’s recruiting class only had 1 scholly CB, Josh Hayes, and he then played as a true freshman, so a bit of a gap there on the roster, especially in the future depth at the position.

1st two potential CB verbals:
- Anthony Coleman
- Terrell Hall

I get the feeling that Destin Talbert ends up at CB just given the class composition that you mentioned. There's a lot of young WRs... not so much with CBs.

[23Bison]

Wasn’t there talk after signing day was done they Phoenix Sproles was recruited as a WR but there was potential for him to be moved to CB? I may be mistaken.

On Bisonville? I'm surprised there wasn't talk of moving him to defensive end. :)

I'd be hugely surprised if he wasn't on offense.

Tru. Anyone over 6-3 is looked at at DE. I admit, I have an infatuation with tall DEs. How about that 6-7 kid lol

I thought I had heard it on 1660 or something with Ross Uglem talking about recruiting. I'm sure that's the side of the ball he'll play on but there was a small chance to do what Bridges did and move to defense if absolutely needed.

[bruinbison]

I'm looking into ATH Cameron Baker out of Council Bluffs, IA. He has offers from Iowa, Indiana, UNI and NDSU. He had visited NDSU already this spring it appears and loved it and retweeted Anthony Colemans's commitment. Would be a great get!!

Came across this recruiting stock note on Cameron Baker at HawkeyeNation:



Cameron Baker, LB, Council Bluffs Jefferson, ’19

Stock: arrow, blue, go, point, right icon

Outlook: The longer Baker waits the less likely it is that he’ll end up in the black and gold. The Hawkeyes already have two linebackers committed in Campbell and Jacobs. They’re also well positioned for Omaha’s Nick Henrich. They took four linebackers in the ’18 class and it’s probably unlikely they do the same in this cycle. Baker also is being recruited as a running back, but Iowa doesn’t see him at that spot right now. I get the feeling that he wants to play offense and he could end up going to a smaller school, like Northern Iowa, so he can.

You may be thinking of DJ Stewart. I think he was on listed on recruiting sites as a WR or RB, and he was listed as a DB on signing day: I may also be completely wrong.

Thanks for reminding - had forgotten about DJ Stewart and this - he was so good on offense I was still thinking of him as a RB or possible slot WR.

Kubitz, LB from Iowa commits:

[NDSU1980]

So now that we have a QB commit does that mean we are giving up on Roddy and Bycznski? Or would we find room for one if they were still interested?

[23Bison]

I would hope we still recruit Bycznski.

Said he'd been in talks with NDSU, but don't see how they offer a scholarship at this point since they took a QB. Still thought worth posting.

Another kid with mild interest from NDSU; Wyoming sounds more interested; Vigen mentioned.

[Mr Meaty]

16 recruits have made a verbal commitment so far. How many more before fall camp and what positions are still in need?

Seems like we still need more Oline commits and I don't think we have a RB or and WR verbals as far as I can tell.
