I see another recruit who was at Bison Jr day, Josewski, commits to the Wabbits.

Slower start for the home squad compared to the other two schools… hoping to see it pick up soon.

Is it though? I mean I know the recruiting timeline has been moved up. But NDSU has always prided itself on camp evaluations, why go away from that model?

This is part of the issue I think... we're waiting until camp to offer some of these kids... and they're already committing to other schools. We'll be fine, I'm just curious if our strategy will change in the future... but also will be a smaller class. I'm just anxious for more recruits :)

We have 16 seniors and limited scholarships

The Jackrabbits have to replace 60 players and can offer many a full ride because their roster has been gutted
