I just read about ten articles on Hinz from Nebraska. He looks to be the absolute beast that we love on the O Line. He has all the major schools in the Big 12 after him. Our O line looks like it has a bright future. Lets get a few more RAMS.

I would be for a few JUCO's, probably at least a LB and a CB. Maybe look for a transfer on the OL. I think we will be good at WR next year though.Quote:

Given who we're losing and what are weaknesses were this season, shooting for LBs, D- and o-liners seem like the right call. WRs, HBs, FBs, and QB is...well, in all except one case, at least sufficient for now (obviously HB is the exception, I think.).
We have a pretty sharp-looking class, but then Mertens was one of the best QBs coming out of MN. Hate to be the pessimist, so I won't be - really looking forward to see the team next year.
The only thing about JUCO's, it's hard for them to come in and make an impact from day one, and the ones that can make an impact right away are going to FBS schools. Look at the 5 JUCO's who were new to the program this year, Mack and Gatlin were marginal at best, Woods got hurt, and Perez and I assume Rogers are redshirting. Tough thing to do.Quote:

As great as the season is, and game days...this is my FAVORITE time of the year! Between following FSU and NDSU recruiting this winter will be fun. I have a feeling that our lack of depth and possible immidiate playing time on defense will get us some very good recruits this season, playing time speaks volumes to kids, and they know that if they produce on this level they will get their shot in the league.Quote:

Josh Horner should be a CB (he made a couple nice tackles on the kickoff team Saturday). I'm beyond tired of opposing receivers running crossing routes with absolutely no fear. Punter and kicker are also needs.Quote:

If you go by high school film then Jesse is, without a doubt, the #1 DL prospect in the state.
On Film–He is a dominator who works hard. He shows very good strength at the point of attack playing both DE and DT. He moves very well in a straight line and can apply pressure on the QB. He also works hard in gaining an edge and you can tell he puts great effort into playing, weight lifting, and studying films.
Stats–Earned 2nd Team All-State honors for his play at DL.
Grades–His GPA is over 3.0.
I agree about our safety play...I am crossing my fingers that Ollman can make an impact there next season. Jemison moving to safety is something I never thought about, but our depth at LB prevents it at the moment. And all I can say about Horner is he damn well better see the field more than just special teams, kid busts his butt, plays with energy, all the things you like to see from a player.Quote:

Also, I think our starters for O-Line will be solid but we absolutely need some depth there. Would be nice to get a JUCO/transfer there as well. We normally dont bring in a lot of JUCOS but I think this year it is a must to bring in some at multiple positions.Quote:

Arizona is a hidden gem. Some good football down there. Most of the Zona and Zona St. recruits are Cali kids anyways so we may as well try and steal some recruits from down there
Looks like we can add Andy Pfeiffer to the Verbal list
http://www.areavoices.com/bisonmedia/
hopefully he turns out like another certain NDSU safety from Mankato.Quote:

First Team
Michael Trotter, Milwaukee Marquette, 6-1 205 Sr.
Jordan Fredrick, Madison Memorial, 6-3 200 Jr.
Colten Heagle, Kimberly, 6-0 185 Sr.
That was a cut and paste. First team all stater out of Wisconsin. Congrats to Colten!!! Looks like a bright future...and boy do we need D-backs!
Those aren't that great of times. Can't really tell much from those times as far as football goes, but for track in most states those times wouldn't qualify for the state meet.Quote:

If he can run an 11.5 his 40 time would be around 4.7.Quote:

He has pretty good measureables. Sounds like he is excited about the school and program. I like the fact that the coaches are looking at guys in positions they aren't playing in high school. It tells me they are turning over all the rocks to see who the best guys are. Good sign in my opinion.
Probably not as Dahl attended Mankato East and the verbal is from Mankato West.Quote:

Kato is Kato. West and East are lost in translation. Would love to see more of the ten school Big Nine teams sending players to Fargo...Quote:

Costigan also had nothing but great things to say about Central Michigan as a program.
"Coach (Mike) Bajakian and coach (Don) Mahoney have been keeping in touch with me and keeping me up to date with the program. The program's success over the years is what really drew me there."
As of right now Costigan does not have an offer from the Chippewa's but said he would commit on the spot if CMU offered.
"If Central were to offer me they would have a strong commitment from me."
He obviously has overlooked 44-14 ;)Quote:
