2010: Recruiting Summary

I don't know how many people caught this Rivals ranking of recruiting classes. A few FCS teams made the list, NDSU has moved up to #126.

Interestingly, BVs best buddy from the Sports Network wrote an article about FCS recruiting, citing the Rivals ranking. He talked about all of the 'top' FCS schools on that list, except, wait for it, NDSU. He stopped just short of getting to the Bison

Go figure...

He just stated the top 5 FCS schools. Nothing wrong with that, except he must have forgotten that Eastern Washington is FCS and is rated above at least one of the schools he mentioned in his piece. Did you also want him to mention South Dakota and North Dakota who were right below us?? Top 5 is just fine with me.

That was probably Coulson's last article, he is done at Sports Network.

Like everything he ever wrote, he had to mention App State.

If we win 3 nat'l titles in a row and than lose in the semi's the next two years and beat Michigan in the Big House when they are ranked #5 in the country I bet we would get mentioned in every article as well. They had the most success of any program in FCS in the 2000's. They earned the recognition they get.

You do understand Coulson was App State's beat writer prior to coming to Sports Network? I understand having those connections and using them and that App was a great team. But he went a bit overboard at times, I remember he took a cheap shot at Bohl once, and some of his emails weren't exactly professional.

That considered he still wrote an article about FCS recruiting and mentioned the FCS school that according to rivals had one of the top classes. Don't really see the big deal.

Unfortunately, it's going to be impossible to find a completely unbiased writer for any level of football below FBS. Remember the NW Missouri lovefest that was D2football.com?

Mr. C is a complete tOOL. A tool with a capital OOL.

Is this list up to date? Seems we are missing a couple players?

Update on Gebhart from SF Washington. Was named MVP of "Dan Lennon track meet at USD. Won 3 relays. 51 400 in Medley relay. 22.8 in 4 x 200 relay and 52 in 4 x 400 relay and coasted in. This was an indoor meet.

This article made it sound like SF Roosevelt actually finished first in the 4x400 and then was disqualified after the race for a bad exchange, but you made it sound like Washington was in the lead and coasted in. Did the Argus have things mixed up?

It was the 1600 medley relay that Roosevelt got DQ. 1600 relay Washington won easily. Washington had a lead to the 800 runner in the medley and Roosevelt cut off the 800 runner.

Update on Gebhart's Track times. At Black Hills Classic Trevor won the 200 in 21.96 and the 400 in 49.4.

Yes, some of them are here.

Name some names if you will. Is there a true leader in the group?

Dudzik arrived last week ... Heagle arrived this week

Gebhart arrived this week

It's really good to hear that these young guys are coming in early. I was at a Redhawks game a couple weeks back and I saw a handful of guys working out and tossing the ball around at Dacotah. It was 7:00PM on a Saturday night. Made me feel pretty good about this upcoming season.

Interesting. These two are likely among the prime candidates to play right away because of their ability and a potential need at their position (safety).

How about Grant Olson?

I believe Olson will arrive sometime in July

NDSU WR Zach Vraa, currently running track for Rosemount won the Minnesota State 2A 110 Hurdles in 14.52 and anchored the 1,600 relay that took 2nd in State at 3:20.72. Congrats hopefully you are on campus soon! We have high hopes for you. We really had some kids impress in track this year.

I am starting to put together some track/field results for the 2010 class and I found that Tyler Gefroh wasn't competing this year because of a leg injury. Has anyone heard what type of injury it is? I looked back to the 2009 Class A meet and saw that he placed 5th in the 100 Meters and was a part of the 400 Relay champions. Sounds like he has some wheels. Hope his leg injury isn't too serious.

Heard somewhere along the way that Tyler is a Kittleson (I assume his mom.) He is a cousin to some of the other linebackers we've had at NDSU. If he's like the others, he's not only fast but a "linebacker" as well.

14.52 in the 110 hurdles tells me he has more speed than some will not give him credit for(meaning certain Goopher fans over in the Gopherhole).
