Can we presume that you mean NDSU coaches? I am sure that a representative of NDSU does their tours and escourts the visit. I may be wrong however.Quote:

Is this because a visit to an away game is considered "unofficial" and they are just showing up to watch the game?
There are unofficial visits to the games at home also, but I am pretty sure there is contact with the coaches, seeing how the players are on the sidelines prior to the game.
I'm guessing that contact is not allowed at away games, so as not to interfere with recruiting by the home team. Sounds fair to me.
Sounds good to me.
Jarid Jackson from Champlin park high school will be at the game this weekend
Article on Minnesotapreps.com said that NDSU is recruiting Winona Cotter QB Thomas O'Brien, it said that he would be up here for the game this weekend, but that he is leaning towards SDSU right now, mostly because he has already been offered by them
Jarid Jackson has an uncle that lives in Fargo. I played golf with him last Saturday. His parents would like him to come to NSDU.
Here is ESPN.com's analysis of Jarid Jackson:
Jarid Jackson
ILB | 6'1" 219
Scouts Grade: 64
Evaluation: Jackson is a physical linebacker who should provide scheme versatility playing both the middle and outside positions. He possesses a solidly-built frame and utilizes it well filling at the point of attack. Displays toughness, effective hand technique and upper-body strength when employed on the line of scrimmage; he does a nice job stringing plays out to the sideline. We like this kid?s motor chasing sideline-to-sideline, and he delivers a good pop on contact when he closes in on ball carriers. Flashes potential in his coverage skill. Shows good route awareness and displays skill jamming and riding routes. While he is productive at the high school level, we have concerns about his speed and overall fluidity when projecting for Division 1 college. Currently lacks the sideline-to-sideline speed needed to chase down skilled ball carriers and the change-of-direction quickness needed to mirror them in space. Utilizes his raw strength in the lateral traffic, but lacks the athleticism needed to avoid cutoff blocks and the burst to hit the run seam inside out. Needs to polish up crossover steps in coverage and drop with more bend in his hips. Jackson might continue to physically develop and make the move down to defensive end. Should provide good special teams depth as well.
I wanted to walk up to Sam Maresh and tell him he looked good in that green Bison shirt that he was wearing at the game, but knew I better not.
A poster on the SDSU board believes that Tyrell Kool, a RB from Yankton, has verballed to the Bison.
http://sdsufans.com/board/showthread...4989#post64989
Here's a scouting report: http://nebraska.scout.com/3/CampCountdown.html
"Kool is simply a wonderful athlete, with a great upside and two years to develop into the position he’ll play in college. That’s up in the air as he’s got the versatility to play a variety of skill positions on the field. If he can gain a couple of inches and hit that coveted 6 foot mark or even more, that ups his stock dramatically. He’s already a solid athlete, but with so much time to develop, he could be another gem in the state of South Dakota."
[QUOTE=tony;138174]As we get the names of students that NDSU may be recruiting, I'll add them to this list. I'd like a source for each one.
Class of 2009
Josh Campion, linemen, Fergus Falls. Level of Interest: hehe, no idea but the Gophers offered him and I'm pretty sure NDSU would love to have him. Source: Fergus Falls Journal

We went to the game saturday and it was really cool to be down on the field when they turned the lights off and started pumping up the music. I have been there many times before for visits but never for a game. My old thoughts on the dome was that they play on the old style turf, its cramped and probably hot (which it was for the other visits) and small. But after this visit my vision of the dome is totally changed. The fans really get the excitement going before the game and they keep it up the whole game. I looked at my son while the music was jamming and the players were running on the field and he had a smile on his face, I could tell he really liked it. My view has totally changed and you the fans did it for me. I have been to the gophers games for unoficial visits and it is no where near as exciting, the recruits are ushered off the field before the players come out for the game so they dont get the game day feel that the bison provided for thier recruits. Great job by coach Bohl and staff, and you the fans.
The only thing I would say about this evaluation is that he was evaluated as an Inside Linebacker which he has never played up untill this season. he always played on the outside, usually head up on the TE.Quote:

THIEF RIVER FALLS 21,
DULUTH CENTRAL 20
Aaron Langan scored three touchdowns, including sprints of a 75 and 47 yards, and the Prowlers continued their unbeaten season in winning the North Country Conference nightcap at PSS.
Langan had 167 yards on 11 carries, speeding away from the Central secondary on his long scoring runs, as second-ranked Thief River Falls (6-0, 5-0) took sole possession of the conference lead. He also scored on a 3-yard run and added a two-point conversion for a 20-point night.
Our scouts should check out Aaron Langan at Thief River Falls, Mn. Very fast and strong RB, could be a diamond in the rough and could play rb, lb or ss. His dad was a WR for und (dont hold that against him though). This kid scored all 3 tds in last fri. nites win at Duluth.

I think this Langan kid can make it on this team somewhere and hopefully the Bison can give him a look, Thief River Falls, MN is a class AAA school so they play at a higher level than EGF where Mertens played at.
Nick Mertens led EGF to the 2004 AAA State Championship going 14-0, so same level as TRF.
Ethan Magstadt, Maple Grove, MN, his family is from Bismarck. His uncle, who still lives in Bismarck, says the Bison have a chance of getting him. He's also a smart kid, so some of the Ivy schools have been hitting him pretty hard, as well as the Goph's. From what I hear he's a tough kid who will help the running game in the future with his blocking and running.
Scouts Grade: 62
Position Rank: FB #56
Considering: 1-Minnesota
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluation: Magstadt shows promise and quality skill at the fullback position. He possesses an athletic, well-built frame that allows him to remain versatile as a runner and blocker. He is best running down hill, taking the quick hitter north-south with good body lean. He does a nice job following his blocks through traffic and taking what the defense gives him. Magstadt will pick up the tough yards and flashes adequate straight-line speed and short-area burst. He has adequate blocking ability, can seal off the edge on the sprint pass and will step up to stalemate linebackers on isolation run plays. While solid as a lead blocker, he struggles with his effectiveness. He lacks the bulk, strength and leverage to knock bigger defenders off the run lane. He has limited power in his hips when attacking and often takes the hit instead of delivering it. At times, he runs a bit east-west and does not possess the lateral quickness and vision to be effective. Hhis running ability is limited without an open vertical seam. We have concerns that his lack of size and explosiveness will hurt his ability as a runner and blocker at the next level. Magstadt still has a lot of physical developing to do which could dictate his ability to play at the next level.
Notes: No notes available at this time.

Sounds like a great recruit, even though we are loaded in the backfield.
I didn't know he was living with a friend of mine until his soccer coach called me today. Been friends over 10 years, probably had lunch with him at work over 1000 times. He's a St Cloud St grad, and we've gone back and forth over the years when the schools played each other in the old NCC. Now I have to watch what I say, sheesh.Quote:

Unsurprisingly, Greg is looking around again. NDSU had previously offered him so maybe the offer is still available, maybe not.

A story about a Bison commit, Preston Evans:
http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs...33/1002/SPORTS
Quote:
Evans had the play of the night, laying a bone-jarring hit on the Scoopers' Seth Mulvehill late in the first half that resulted in the Riders' fifth score of the game.
My favorite part of the Evans article:
"I saw him look in my eyes, then when he looked upfield I was able to close the gap on him pretty good," said the 210-pound Evans. "That's what you always look for - the kill shots. I take a lot of pride in that."
Joe Mays II?
Good observation. Gotta love that attitude in a LB...Quote:

can Bohl talk to him to coming or is that against the rules?
I think Bohl can contact him if he has been released by his former team, but I'm not real sure.
Charlie Walters mentioned Minnesota and Iowa in his column today.Quote:
