Hey Road....you know what I am talking about! I just hope it is true. That would be fun to watch.....is it signing day yet?
Its getting closer......
After reviewing the classes that UND, SDSU, and NDSU has put together (this is not smack, so just relax), it is almost unfair that we are going to compete against these schools. The gap is getting WIDE!!!! I know, we lost to SDSU last year...trust me, I remember. However, NDSU has put together an absolutely silly class this year. Defensively, we are amazing. Added a WR from MN who is special, a QB from San Diego, a batch of linebackers and DB's with speed. Plus a nasty O-lineman who with another inch would be in teh big 10. Never have we received 2 star talents (rivals) like we have this year. Congrats to the staff on putting this together. I can't wait until Wednesday when it is finalized. The part I get nervous about is that when Bohl leaves (hopefully down the road), we potentially lose his biggest asset....his CONNECTIONS! Our class is NATIONWIDE. We get the local kids we need, and branch out from there. He has been consistent with that message since he got here. I do not think he has lost a ND recruit that he has wanted yet. Assuming equal offers were given. I am sure a UND fan will disagree, just going off what I know.
Still shocked nobody is really talking about the kid that SIU (Lennon) took from UND. I thought that would get more interest. In my studies, he was a VERY good signing for UND and that will hurt them. Their other best recruit went to Northern Illinios. Not sure why they have had so many kids verbal, then basically re-verbal to Mussman after he took the job, and then weeks later they lose 4-5 of them to other schools.....one being us. Punter from Minneapolis. Recruiting is just a blast to follow.
Totally agree - this could be the best recruiting class NDSU has ever put together on the defensive side of the ball.Quote:

Recently they have done well against NDSU and I see them as being a bigger threat in the next 5 to 7 years as compared to UND. SDSU is starting to get more money for football and somehow they are getting some pretty good recruits. I should go over to the Jacks site and see who they have recruited this year. Maybe not as well as NDSU, but I bet they did pretty good. I seem to remember they got a bunch of kids from Wisconsin too. Some chose SDSU over NDSU. Any Rabbit posters want to comment?Quote:

The speedster from Michigan was offered a fully to run track at THE Ohio State University....but chose us to play football! Impressive.
Yes , Grade A stuff.
watch for these last day kids to filter through the FBS system... eh burgandy??
gonna be a WHOPPER!!!! hehe
I think it just moved :D i think im more excited about this recruiting class than i was about losing my virginity haha
I know some colleges make film of their recruits so the fans can see it. Is that possible with NDSU? Can someone post it on youtube? I live out of town but would like to see some footage of the new recruits.Quote:

HE"S FROM HAWAII!!!
http://www.chicagosports.rivals.com/...=65340&sport=1
Lawson is going to walk on at Illinois from what I hear.
otherwise
NDSU, BALL STATE, CMU and NO. Illinois was on his list. . . .
This might be the rumored player with long hair coming out of his helmet. Aloha and welcome Yuen!Quote:

The very first post in this thread has the list as we've heard it but since these are verbals, things can change in a hurry.Quote:

That stings a bit! He was our only player from Illinois and he looked like a real solid player. Yuen Taufeten, the Juco from California will make an impact immediately so it's a good thing for the 2008 season.Quote:

I have a question. I have just started looking at rivals.com for some information. Why is NDSU not listed as a verbal, a potential, or even our commitment list on the site?? I have seen other schools there such as McNeese, Montana, Cal Poly... Just wondering. Does the school have to "subscribe" to it to get listed or are we just not there yet to get listed??
Thanks in advance for the info.
yea. NDSU is too cheap or TOO LAZY (my guess) to do it.
its a joke really!!
Or they won't put NDSU on there until next year when we're fully DI.Quote:

WHo cares. I'd rather other teams not know we exist. Otherwise they will use it as a resourse to recruit who we recruit since we're proven.Quote:

What about losing that kid to being a walk on at Illinois? He was one of my favorites from this class. But, getting this california kid (instant crowd favorite), will eliminate the sting.
Good call husker!Quote:

In the comments section of the Bison Media Blog, a poster from Bismarck claims that the rumor in Bis-Man is that Bismarck Century QB Zach Wentz has verballed to NDSU. Since I don't see him anywhere on the first page, does anyone know how good this kid is, or is this just wishful thinking from BCHS fans?
Here you go... [linky]Quote:

I saw Wentz play against South in the FargoDome. He is easily the best HS quarterback I saw this year in ND/NW MN. 6'2" 205 lb. He throws a very nice ball. He was coming back from an ACL injury this year. He is also an outstanding baseball player. I have been hoping that the Bison would give this kid a shot. I think he could be a a very good quarterback in time.
I just saw on the WDAY sports that Lawson de-committed to UNI....not to walk on at Illinois. That is not good. Hallstrom also said that they are still looking for a D-Lineman.....I just can't wait to see the Long hair chasing the quarterback all over the Fargodome turf!!
yea. chicagosports.com said he was going to walk on at illinois, or goto No. Illinois or NDSU.
I still think there's a kid outta chicago that NDSU has waiting to surprise us!!
Burgundy, I'm confused. When you say "that is not good", what do you mean? Not good for UNI? Not to walk on at Illinois....then where is he going? Does this impact us at all...I'm probably just having a brain cramp.Quote:
