After taking visits to Iowa, Wyoming, Northern Illinois, Cincinnati and North Dakota State this past fall, Gunnar Kilen is gearing up for his next round of college trips.

A 6-foot-6, 270-pound in-state offensive tackle from Verona High School, Kilen, who already has an offer from North Dakota, has a handful of junior-day visits on his calendar.......

Coach Morgan is in some of the latest photos with KC folks.
Coach Blazek has posted from there also, iirc he has previous experience there from his Iowa days.

Some of that targeting goes back to the previous staff, but the current staff seems to be following up on that recruiting - now how many of those Coach Klieman offers remains to be seen......

So we'd turn him into a TE?

[Tony Almeida]

So we'd turn him into a TE?That would be a disgusting waste of talent if that was to happen. Bison coaches have been pretty good at putting the right personnel in the right positions....so far.

Anyway, enough talking like he signed with the Bison already. This kid would be a huge get for the Bison, like another Jabril Cox-ish with that speed and awareness... According to Rivals, it appears that the only school he visited was Minnesota, I'm sure he is waiting for that in-state offer from Wisconsin. And with a ton of offers already on the table with many more to come, it's not looking good, but the coaches need to get him on campus and stay persistent...you never know.

Like the size of the OL in Minnesota high schools this year. Good year for the Bison to recruit one or two 6’ 5” - 6’ 8” OT types.
Hope the 6’ 7” - 6’ 8” Mason Miller is one of them. He could still decide to play basketball instead, but I would guess his upside is greater in football.

2 of the 3 already have FBS offers, so if the Bison get any of the 3 it would be great news.

I’ll pick out another name as “Big Time” - 15 offers already for NDSU legacy OL Gunnar Kilen, lotsa MVFC & MAC action (including Buffalo) and KState and Iowa and Wisky are all talking.

https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Gunnar-Kilen-123503/RecruitInterests/

And speaking of Kilen, his teammate just visited Fargo -
Adam Vandervest - 6’ 6” 265 - OL - Verona WI -
(Illinois State offer)

Sounds more like a college line than a high school - yikes!
Can’t be that big of a town......

[bruinbison]

Last year Trey Lance was the first commit on May 24. Any guesses as to who the first commit is this year?

I’ll buy a lottery ticket here and go with continuing the Marshall MN pipeline, since Trey Lance was 1st last year. Totally a s.w.a.g. though......:)

Lance’s high school teammate - Yahya Black - 6’ 5” 240 - DL/OL

http://www.hudl.com/profile/8007368/Yahya-Black

But 1st the Bison have to make Black an offer - only has a South Dakota offer currently. But he and teammate Trey Steinbach visited Fargo again this weekend - and they looked happy in the photo with Trey Lance.

I wonder if he’ll be like Weerts and we are still into the running? I’d say he has a pretty good offer list already.

[SamsRams]

What are you talking about, Dunn is 5’9 and was pegged as a smaller back coming into NDSU. Bringing an athlete in for an unofficial visit doesn’t equate to targeting him.

They have a big bruiser in Saybien and Coffield who also was pegged as a smaller back is over 200lbs.

And they targeted Russell and Hull last year and missed out late in the process.

Trust the recruiters and the strength and conditioning coaches.

[Snowgoose]

I agree. People get so caught up in size it is ridiculous. Most of the great all time RBs in the NFL were under six feet. Quite a few of them were right at Dunn's size for height and weight. Being slightly shorter allows for quicker cutting for the most part. Ryan Smith is the exact size of this back when they brought him in. If he is a great athlete we will find him a spot.

[23Bison]

I don’t see anything at all wondering it. I personally like the 5’11” and up. Everyone has an opinion.

[thebigund]

Most? I’m gonna look into that because off the top of my head there are a lot of all time greats outside of Sanders and Smith.

[bruinbison]

Why have the Bison been targeting smaller RB's as of late? I personally would look for the next Bruce Anderson, John Crockett, Lance Dunn, and what have you...just a thought.

Getting 3 athletes under 5’ 10” in one recruiting class (2019) was certainly out of the ordinary for NDSU. (zero in 2018, two 5’ 10” guys)
With 3 in one class, will not be surprised that one plays right away, helps balance out the class size-distribution. And of course, someone may change position.
As stated, they did try on a couple others RB’s, should be easier to get a commit this year from a every down back with Cofield and Clark and Wilson a year older. This year’s 1st RB offer - TK Marshall (Minneapolis Southwest) - is listed at 5’ 11” 180

Jalen Bussey - favorite (?) to play right away, especially on special teams
Kaden Kunz - preferred walk-on
Kobe Johnson - late period signee from Georgia

I believe all 3 are good sprinters in track as well.

[Snowgoose]

Most? I’m gonna look into that because off the top of my head there are a lot of all time greats outside of Sanders and Smith.

Okay most might have been a stretch (typing and thinking quickly never works well) but look at how many are 6 feet and under. I personally love someone just under 6 feet that is over 200 as they tend to be built with low center of gravity and have great lateral quickness.

[SamsRams]

I don’t see anything at all wondering it. I personally like the 5’11” and up guys. Everyone has an opinion.

So you like the guys who are 5’11 and want to see more rb’s who are 5’11 just like Lance Dunn who is 5’9?

[23Bison]

So you like the guys who are 5’11 and want to see more rb’s who are 5’11 just like Lance Dunn who is 5’9?
Yeah what’s wrong with that? Lance is a great RB and had a great carrier at NDSU but I like the guys in the mold of Bruce and John more. Cofield and Sabian (spelling) will be exciting to watch for me.

[SamsRams]

What’s wrong with that is 5’9 is shorter than 5’11. Saying you want bigger backs and then listing Dunn who is 5’9 is weird.

Or are you questioning why the coaches are recruiting players that they think are the best fit for the system instead of recruiting taller back that they don’t think fits their system?

[23Bison]

See you are trying to argue with me over what style/body type of RB I like and I’m not sure why. You listed Lance Dunn and all I did is compliment him on being a great back but that’s not the body style I like for a RB.

As for the coaches recruiting smaller RBs I guess that’s up to them. Seems we have plenty of guys in that 5’8”-5’9” frame. Or you can try to put words in my mouth some how and spin this in a way that makes me look like I don’t like what our coaches are doing. A guy asked why we seem to be recruiting smaller RBs and I agreed.

[Bison Loaf]

Okay most might have been a stretch (typing and thinking quickly never works well) but look at how many are 6 feet and under. I personally love someone just under 6 feet that is over 200 as they tend to be built with low center of gravity and have great lateral quickness.


8 of the Top-10 all-time rushing leaders in the NFL (and the first 7 consecutive) are/were all under 6 feet tall.

[thebigund]

If you look at the HOF RBs there are a boatload of 6’ and over guys.

As are 7 of the 8 that I just described (in the HOF).

There are a lot of great backs that are over 6 foot tall also, no doubt, but Snowgoose's overall point was well taken, IMO.

Except for the use of the word most.

[Christopher Moen]

Except for the use of the word most.

He said most of the all time great RBs in the NFL, which could be argued that his list is smaller than around 50 or so backs (RBs, HBs, FBs) listed in the NFL HOF. Of the Top-25 rushers of all time (statistically - http://www.espn.com/nfl/history/leaders/_/stat/rushlead), only 12 make the list, with the first coming in at #8 (Adrian Peterson). In this case, he would be correct.

Of the 50 or so backs in the NFL, I think about 26 are six foot or taller and many played in 70s or prior. In this case he would be wrong.

It just depends on what he meant in reference to "all-time great RBs in the NFL."

[Bison Loaf]

Except for the use of the word most.

I would dare say that his use of the term "most" is more specific and understandable than your use of the term "boatload". :biggrin:

[Snowgoose]

I am a cpa and when I use most I am being very specific, jk. My memory just serves that for the most part there are more six feet and under backs and that is why guys like Adrian or Eddie George are more abnormal than normal. Too many people focus on height.

Funny thing is in the 90 and early 2000’s nobody wanted small receivers. Now people are finding out they are quicker with their routes and in some ways tougher to defend in the slot.

Just get the best player says John Randle

Let’s face reality here (which needs to be done in a lot of arenas these days), until and if Nodak gets rid of the unneeded campuses, both NDSU and UND will continue to be underfunded and lack the financial wherewithal to do nothing other than be stagnant. Too many parochial interests and not enough people with the balls to get anything done. Yeah, I know we have a Constitution that dictates things, but ...

Iowa has 2 OL commits already, and iirc will take one more at some point. A 4 star type probably could have a commitable offer and come on board at any time, otherwise the Hawkeyes are waiting & watching.
(edit: looks like there are approximately 5 more Iowa offers out to uncommitted 6’ 5” + OL, all 3 or 4 star prospects)

Honored to have received and offer from North Dakota State University


Joe Stoffel - TE - 6’ 4” 233 - River Falls WI

- Familiar school - 2019 QB recruit Logan Graetz is from River Falls
- and a prospect with many offers - 11 on 247 - Akron, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Ball State, Ohio Northern Illinois etc

Just not a P5 offer like was mentioned by El Chapo for Bortolini (Syracuse)(247 lists 10 offers for Bortolini)

[bruinbison]

Stefan Black - 6’ 180 - CB - Blue Springs MO
NDSU was 1st offer, since then Northern Iowa, Army have offered. Now SDSU offers.

Seems like Army must follow NDSU recruiting thread.

Do we have Mason Richman on the radar? Defensive end from Kansas I believe. I think he's been offered by Kansas, USD, and maybe SDSU.

I think there is a good chance of this being possible but who knows in hindsight. We definitely have the TE’s for this now for sure. My 2 cent opinion is that we could use the catching abilities of this group even more.

The Panzer kid seems extremely happy about the NDSU offer. Even more so than most of his other offers including FBS. Call me intrigued.

[HerdistheWord]

It is hard to gauge whether the offers from some of the FBS schools actually have any weight behind them. Those schools make a lot of offers that they don’t have any intent on keeping. Most are contingent on whether or not “better” players accept offers with those schools. The average FBS school in 2019 extended offers to over 200 players. They signed an average of 24. Some of that attrition is due to players committing to other schools, but some of the attrition is also due to schools using offers as a Plan C, where they don’t actually intend to sign a kid unless Plan A and Plan B fall through.

Precisely, operating in that arena means our close rate might a bit lower, but any close when you are competing with 2 or 3 FBS schools, especially P5, is a big deal.

[bruinbison]

My meandering impressions and unproven opinions :)

- with earlier recruiting season & offers the trend, more NDSU vs FBS offers should happen

- Kansas State affects all this - but am seeing less of Wyoming than earlier years in their Bohl era

- am surprised how many NDSU offers go out to players with multiple FBS offers, but like people point out, FBS offer numbers are off the charts so how serious are they (are they commitable)

- Iowa as someone NDSU runs up against makes sense both from their style of play and the Tim Polasek effect

- I think I am seeing more MACtion, perhaps they see NDSU’s successes and want to recruit those same areas and type players - especially OL

- Western Illinois and Indiana State are overlapping more than they used to (e.g. Missouri Iowa Nebraska, even Minnesota) - did they increase recruiting budgets? (travel)

[SamsRams]

Pretty on par with the last 5 years and especially for this time of the year. I have noticed more recruiting going on in Missouri and Kansas than years past. Also find it interesting coaches are spreading their wings more buy making visits to other coaches recruiting areas. I’m not sure who brought that Philosophy into this staff but I like it

[23Bison]

I’ve noticed A LOT of Kansas, and that’s fine with me, I’m just not used to seeing that kind of volume of which there is interest in that particular state.

There's been a decent amount of buzz on the morning radio show in Omaha about this offer(Co-host of that show is ex husker Damon Benning, who is one of the coaches at Omaha North). Seems like NDSU would have to be the favorite right now.
