I'm sure he's a good player and we want to get everyone but if there was ever a position we are stocked up on it is tight end. We got another TE a few weeks ago.Quote:

How do these get divided up? If we give two 1/2 scholarships does it equal 1 scholarship or is that 2.
The coaches can split the scholarships as they want. Two 1/2 scholarships would equal one. I think that only 85 players can share in the 63 scholarships. This applies only to some sports, such as football. In basketball if we had two players with 1/2 scholarships, it would count as two.
For the next year...Quote:

One more verbal. Looks like more depth in the defensive backfield. :welcome:
to Kevin Jackson from Michigan.

Any idea what other schools were after Jackson? Any other offers?
Given what Kolpack quoted Bohl saying in his article in today's Forum, is the DT from NDSCS cited here accurate? Does anyone know for sure?Quote:

That quote brings the veracity of Richardson transferring in doubt, doesn't it?
Exactly, thank you, someone with an ounce of brain who can think a little past next year.Quote:

Have a little vision past this fall. I know its hard, but try.
No idea, but Scott Miller said on Bison Feedback tonight that he runs a legit 4.4 40, and was on Michigan's top 4x100 relay team in the state's largest class. Can't remember (was driving), but I believe he also said that Jackson can hit, as well.Quote:

Kevin Jackson is pretty fast - it'll be interesting to see if NDSU can squeeze some more speed out of him. Some of the times I saw for him were 21.85 in the 200 and 48.41 in the 400. Those are right around state record times for North Dakota and right around what Marques Johnson did in high school so I kinda hope he is able to go out for track if he wants. Makes me want to go to the Michigan state track meet this year to see how he does.Quote:

Sounds like Bohl and Co may have found a diamond in the rough....
Michigan speedster commits to NDSU
Jeff Kolpack, The Forum
Kevin Jackson wasn’t under the football recruiting radar last year. He wasn’t even on it.
But North Dakota State saw enough of the 6-foot-1, 181-pound safety this fall to offer him a scholarship. Jackson, from East Kentwood High (Mich.) accepted on Tuesday and verbally committed to the Bison.
Jackson is better known in Michigan as one of the state’s top sprinters. That was why he didn’t play football as a junior for East Kentwood, located near Grand Rapids.
“He was led to believe he was going to get a big-time track scholarship,” said East Kentwood assistant coach Marc Cisco. “So he ran cross country.”
Jackson came back out for football this season. He had 69 tackles, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. He averaged 32 yards per kickoff return, including a 96-yarder for a touchdown....

you obviously misread my post.Quote:

Bohl could bring in a stud QB next year to redshirt and a transfer to start or give some competition for '10 when Mertens is gone. Hell, Appalachian State started a true freshman and won the national title a year ago. Steve Walker played some of his best football his freshman year. Eric Sanders at UNI was the same way. Just a few examples of how things might still turn out ok if we somehow don't land a QB this class.
this kid sounds like steal and exactly like the type of player that can really bloom at the FCS level with a good coaching staff. He's great athlete who has shown flashes of greatness in the little time he has played football.Quote:

This looks like a good pickup due to the speed. Hopefully he can hit and tackle and has some good football sense. Players like this can really turn out to be great. If he had played football all through high school he would have probably been looking at FBS scholarships.
Personally I like taking a leap with a DB with outstanding speed. I get concerned when you try putting them at WR. I always think Troy Williamson in the pros. I bet with the some good coaching he could be a heck of a player. Just my .02.
Sounds like a good signing. Probably more of a project with a ton of upside. He's got the potential to be as fast or faster than Burrell, who owns school records, and you can't teach speed and athleticism. He's inexperienced but in only 1 year he's become a very good football player. Probably a good candidate to redshirt.Quote:

I believe Mr. Kramer is one of the secrets the Bison have had the last few years. He is why you can take less heralded recruits ( the ones that don't go FBS) and helps turn them into a team that can beat the FBS teams!
I'm sorry, I meant the BCS teams! I still struggle with the new system.
Sounds like some good talent on the way. I do hope they get at least 1 QB so that we can start grooming someone for the post Mertens days.
Holy Crap. I provided some news about a kid the Bison were recruiting in the "Recruiting Radar" thread and in turn the thread becomes smack.Quote:

Just like Twiedt was going to replace Andre Smith without much drop off this year...he was "giving Smith fits in practice" all last year remember. How did that end up working out?
Why are you talking basketball in the recruiting radar? Take it to another forum unless your talking who's on the radar for the Bison football team!Quote:

Mr. Kramer can't teach someone to run a 4.4 40 if they only run a 4.7, either you have it or you don't.Quote:

And about how SDSU is not very good either.Quote:

We have had some history of turning big and athletic TE's into very good offensive linemen though so that could be our reason.Quote:
