What makes you say this? I saw him plenty in high school and he has the leg and the accuracy to be a very good kicker. I havent seen him kick now for a year, i dont know if concentrating on punting has hurt him at all or not, but if he hasnt gotten any worse i would say he can for sure kick at this level, and very effectivelyQuote:

Last batch of changes:
- Added the wissports.net info (two new offers: Ollman and Ericksen).
- Added WR/DB position list but need help getting background on players.
- Had Derrick Engel's name misspelled

Trust me, I want a QB more than anyone, I am just saying be happy with the current list of verbals. 6 weeks until this is all said and done....and we could get a transfer after that. Long wait. Maybe I should have said....other than a QB...this is looking fantastic.
Thanks, glass half full guy
Came to Wahpeton as a WR, moved him to corner to get him on the field, 6'2", 190 Lbs., 4.4 Speed...Sounds like a great all around athlete that has the size and speed to play a lot of positions!Quote:

In the video he looks like he plays the left OL spot most of the time.

Now NDSU has to land a couple excellent QB's and a kicker to finish off this class. Maybe get a couple more that SDSU wanted. Time to start squashing the bunnies.....NDSU should be winning 3 out of 4 games against them.
Don't forget about a WR, this team needs to pick up one or two WR's. A JUCO that could add some depth right away would be ideal.Quote:

On the SDSU board, thats the main thing they talk about affecting their recruiting.Quote:

If it was comparable to the metrodome then yes it would be a hindrance but it has new locker rooms. It is in great shape. The Football offices and the film rooms are top notch. As one poster on the Austin Peay board said when they saw the link to the offices and the rest, "That looks nicer than the Tennessee Titans head quarters". It is top notch and impressive. It isn't the new TCF but it is great for our level. All we need is some new turf and it will be complete.
Quite the opposite. Just ask the guys on the team.Quote:

Quite offensive. The atmosphere there is just awsome!!!Quote:

NDSU is his first offer and they are on top...hoping for more offers.
Other schools are all the usual competition that NDSU sees.
"The offer came during lunch December 18th. (Running Backs Coach) Tim Polasek from North Dakota State came into my school and extended a scholarship offer to me," explained Ollman.

thanks guys!
Tony, are you sure Ethan Hemer has been offered?
http://wisconsinpreps.rivals.com/vie...p?pr_key=79603
don't appear so!
Last I talked to Hemer, he didn't have an offer from NDSU. Only South Dakota, Northern Iowa and Illinois State have offered him so far. South Dakota State is close to offering. Wisconsin wants him as a preferred walk-on.Quote:

I wonder if A.J. Van Voorhis is related to Tom Van Voorhis, former Bison team captain?
What do you guys think are the odds of landing Anders Lee or Westendorp...or one of the other top QB's ??
From what i heard Sonie will get his offer as soon as his grade issue is cleared up.Quote:
