Just a guess here, but would Taylor Nelson's uncle be Steve Nelson, former Bison and NE Pats LB. Welcome to the herd Taylor.

yes it is I think.
Dave Nelson is his coach, didnt he play somewhere?
Great get over several D1 programs. UNI can't be too happy with NDSU this year in recruiting. We are winning some great battles.
There was a Dave Nelson from DL that played for the Bison in the early 70s. He then transferred to Moorhead State. PLQuote:

Dave was a hell of an athlete. But from what I hear in his fresh or soph year he took quite a hit from Jim LaClair from UND and he was never the same. Plus he was always injured. When it became apparent that he wasnt going to make it back with the Bison he transferred.Quote:

Dave did OK at Concordia, but I watched him play at SU, and he wasn't the same player at all. Of course, the whole concept was different in Cobberland. Not nearly as intense. Didn't know about the hit from LeClair.Quote:

Welcome Taylor+++

Scroll to the bottom: Sam Ojuri (6'1 190 RB who can play WR) committed to NDSU. According to the Rival's site EdgyTim's, he had offers from three FBS schools and was considered a Top 50 prospect in Illinois.
Huge get out of Ojuri. I would say Illinois kids have turned out to be ok as Bison!!! Welcome.
http://minnesotapreps.rivals.com/vie...=85900&sport=1
Had offers from New Mexico, Akron and Eastern Michigan (and Western Michigan in the article but not on the ink) 2 star on Rivals. Big kid too.
Hope you're right. We need a young buck that can come along quickly. Maybe a recruit from down south that hasn't been on the radar.Quote:

I'm a little curious where Sam is going to play. Some boards have him as a RB and others as a WR. Being that we have also offered Terrell Sinkfield, I'm wondering if they are thinking of him more as a WR. Or...maybe he'll do the DJ McNortan thing and play a little bit of both. I'm really excited about this guy. He looks very good in the videos.
http://wisconsinpreps.rivals.com/vie...=81319&sport=1
How about the size of that kid. He has not verballed anywhere. He had some bigtime looks and camps early, but has no offers??? That would be interesting.
He is HUGE. Wonder whats up with no offers? Isn't Eddie Beson from Appleton Wisconsin as well?Quote:

So you wouldn't want him on our team either??Quote:

I dont know if this has been posted yet but check out where A.J. lands in spartanmags best michigan recruits. Ahead of some pretty good guys.
All I know is how tall he is (probably shorter), how much he weighs (probably lighter) and how fast/slow he is (probably slower). That's not enough information for anyone to say they would "want" him on the team. I can see that he's too tall to be a guard or center and that he's too slow to be a tackle. Maybe he can get faster, but how can a 5.5 40 cover a 240 lb. edge pass rusher with a 4.7 40? A 5.5 40 screams "My body is loaded with slow twitch muscle fibers." I don't know what the magic ratio of size/speed is. At some point, no matter how big you are, lack of speed will kill you, and vice-versa.Quote:

Umm, wrong. Speed means something at every position. On the OL, at the tackle position, speed means a lot. And, please don't try to use Korey Stringer of a physical example of a slow player who was good enough to make it. Korey Stringer died because he was too fat (6'4"; 340 lbs), used ephedra and exercised on a stifling hot day. Are you really comparing your prospect to a guy who died? So to answer your question, no Korey couldn't finish the 40, because he was dead.Quote:

He looks like a nice get for them. His older brother Broderick started on defense (DE or LB) for Iowa this year.
That would be 2 Cretin kids for them with the lineman Kleason that committed awhile back. Starting a pipeline with that football factory?
