My guess is that with Camp and Breske on the staff we will see more western kids from CO, NV and CA, possibly AZ in the recruiting mix as they try to upgrade the athleticism of the LBs and DBs. These are areas these two guys have been recruiting for years.Quote:

Rivals says we're interested in Max Craggs 6'6 200 pound linebacker out of Kimberly Wisconsin.

big offensive lineman had a nice visit the way it sounds

It's nice to see our name mentioned with Big1eleven0 schools when it comes to recruiting.
As a former offensive lineman I really like what I see in the video. This kid just moves well, gets the initial block done and then moves down field to make another.Quote:

Also another interesting link below (found while looking for information on Brandon).

I know him, I live with his best friend and he rushed for 1800 yards his sophmore year and like 1500 last year or something. He is recieving interest from Northern Iowa amongst other schools.Quote:

Schell runs a 4.95?? That's a little scary if you ask me. I haven't seen how he runs, so it could be a problem with mechanics. There is no way you can be an elite back with speed anywhere close to that. He also has relatively high body fat percentage at 13%, with a relatively low body weight. Granted, if he muscles up he'll add some decent weight, but at what cost to his athleticism?
As for myself, I don't feel that NDSU's program has been inferior to Minnesota's since the 60s. We've had many teams that would have had their lunch. Their new stadium will help. We'll lose most battles with any Big 11 program...but the fact that we're trying is relatively new. We think 'BIG' at North Dakota State. Always have.Quote:

It's extremely fertile recruiting ground...but they gotta be careful with attitude. :nod:Quote:

He is built though and runs tought. He runs like a small town ND kid. Not a whole lotta juckin and jivin.Quote:

you are not anywhere near the equal of the Minnesota football program or any other big ten program and you never will be. you do not compete with the big ten for recruits those teams actually want. i know many of them and minnesota golden gopher fans don't give ndsu or any of your sports team a second thought, so please stop flattering yourself and pretending you are something special up there on the tundra. some of you are just plain delusional. it is laughable! :rofl:
oh and i almost forgot.....go marquette!
and negative reps for you:nod:Quote:

you are making such a bold statement about where ndsu would "hypothetically fall" in the big ten football conference based off a sample of a couple years?! really? come on now! and based on that very small sample ndsu football has now arrived on the same level as the big ten?! wow! you are joking right? you have to be smarter than that. :pan:Quote:

Not a fact, 1983 was the worst Minnesota team. That squad got worked repeatedly and lost 84-18 at home to Nebraska. At least the 2007 Gophers were competive in almost every game, their average margin of defeat was 13.1 points.Quote:

You also need to learn how to read. I said NDSU could compete, as in beat a Big 10 team, not be a Big 10 team. There is a huge difference between playing in the Big 10 and beating a Big 10 team. In the past three years 4 FCS teams have beaten Big 10 teams. Many other games went down to the wire. Only a few were blowouts, and in those games it was either an FCS vs Ohio State or some crap FCS team like Indiana State was playing a Big 10 team.
You are quite the simpleton. Once you've finished reading this post in a couple of months, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to post the game stats from the '06 game as well.Quote:

I bet he does a great job for Mayville State.Quote:

Besides, they could be recruiting him for something other than RB.
i know that but do u think our coaches would be recruiting a player that cant hack it?...and also we could possibly be recruiting him for soemthing other than RB as wellQuote:

NDSU recruiting Minneapolis (MN) De La Salle Running Back Evan Williams
Williams rushed for over 1800 yards and scored 27 touchdowns as a junior, .
Williams will be attending a number of summer camps. They include: Wyoming, Iowa, Iowa State, North Dakota State, Ohio State and Wisconsin. He also mentioned possibly adding Alabama and UCLA to that list.
Winona Cotter is the school that sent standout QB Thomas O'Brien to SDSU 2 years ago.Quote:

Here is what I found on this guy. Sounds talented and may not put up huge numbers so maybe he'll be a little under the radar. His team's offense is mostly passing.
He’s a great backfield complement to another speedster, junior running back Matt Perez, who is making a name for himself in his first season at the varsity level.
“He’s our strongest guy, forget about pound-for-pound,” Inserra said. “He’s our best running back ever, and he’s only played seven games for us.”
Inserra likened the 6-0, 197 pound running back to former Wheaton Warrenville South star running back Dan Dierking, who was a two time All-State player for the Tigers before heading to Purdue. In fact, Inserra thinks Perez is ahead of his pace.
“I think he’s far ahead of Dierking,” Inserra said.
Perez has been somewhat limited statistically, given that most of Maine South’s victories have been blowouts. Inserra’s preference to use a pass-friendly, one-back system has also limited his touches.
WISSPORTS has put out its 2010 Wisconsin football player rankings. Marlin Lee does a great job compiling and reporting on WI prospects.
http://www.wissports.net/sports/foot...&list=1&pos=15
Quite a few players listed indicate having interest from NDSU. My guess is a couple prospects are being slow played by schools because of qualifying questions concerning academics. My guess is you'll see some moving around of players if/when those questions are answered.
Interesting. That list is completely dominated by OL/DL.Quote:
