If I recall several pages back it said Jan 9 was the end of the recruiting dead period. Not set in stone sure however.Quote:

Tony, you might want to update your NDSU offers list with this info:

Ya I would like to see us get Ben. I don't know why but I just think he could get it done.
Looking at the video of Ben Ericksen he sure looks like the type of receiver NDSU could use. Kind of reminds me of Heckendorf.Quote:

Ben was the Gatoraide Player of the Year. Kerswill was a shock offer. But, we did, so we must have thought he had a chance. Good job at USD.
Is the DEAD period over yet or what?!?!?

Thanks for the info. Must be something about the academic programs at Ill St or USD that attracts him, can't be the football program or the football facilities. Any idea?Quote:

You never know I just would like to see this kid in the green and yellow. I don't know if he has visited but I would not count us out yet if he still has a visit to us. Hopefully we get him but we will see.
I agree with OldBison and BisonFanatic on this one. Seriously, has he been to Fargo yet? Vermillion is bunk. They are not comparible in facilities, schools, cities...etc. Oh, and we are playoff eligible. WOW.
I expected us to have a GREAT WR class this year. Several WR's coming in with playing time being offered. Hey, they could start for 4 years potentially. I still think we have a Texas angle that is being worked, that we do not know about yet. But, this kid would be huge. Hopefully he gets to Fargo for a visit before signing day.
I believe Ericksen, Kerswill and Hill all visited during the same weekend and were offered during or just following their visits.
Dangit Marlin stop being a reporter and start being a recruiter and get him here!!!:D :D :D ;) ;) ;)
I don't know anything about Illinois State, but why would this kid consider USD over NDSU. If he visited both Vermillion and Fargo I would think that would help straighten him out. Also USD will be in transition purgatory for most of his time there. Even if he is considering pre-med NDSU has something similar. Yeah, I don't get it, play in front of nearly 20,000 at the Fargodome or maybe 5000 at the Dakota Dump.Quote:

While it is certainly possible that NDSU only offered Erickson a partial scholarship, I seriously doubt it. With Hakeem leaving there is a big hole to fill and my understanding (which certainly could be incorrect) is that Erickson was #1 on NDSU's list. If that is true, given the situation here a partial offer just doesn't make much sense.Quote:

Granted not all programs are created equal. But having a great program doesnt mean all recruits will like your program. Some times or many times a certain school justs doesnt seem-feel right. You just dont feel comfortable. Now if its the only school that offers then you still might want to go someplace and grow to like it. But if you have choices you dont have to. PLQuote:

This one may not be over because Iowa may grab him late if they miss on some other LB's they are recruiting.

Weiss said that he also had scholarship offers from North Dakota State and the University of South Dakota, and that Iowa – where he did attend a summer camp – was still considering a him a contender pending the decision of one player rated ahead of him.
Correct me if I am wrong, but an FCS partial scholarship means only one thing, one half. I believe in DII you can give out all sorts of fractions of a scholarship as long as the total is no more than 36. In DI - FCS only half and full scholarships can be given out with a max total of 63. Hard to belive this kid would have been offered anything less than a full scholarship from NDSU. Likely he just doesn't care to check everything out and too bad because USD has little or nothing over NDSU academically or athletically. NDSU coaches have to convince the kid to at least take an afternoon visit to Fargo.Quote:
