Sorry but I have to respond here. Maybe he wanted to go to NDSU but chose UND for the full ride because he couldnt afford college. Maybe they were the highest level school to offer. There are a lot of variables.Quote:

Haha, yeah completely a shot at UND, but I did see it was possible that it could be taken as a shot at Miller. I didn't want to dumb down the original post so it would lose its offensiveness haha.Quote:

Heh, I liked both Belquist brothers at WR but I think a better combo was Heck and Travis White (and, yeah, it would be really nice to have two stud WRs on the field at the same time - heck, I wouldn't say no to three if we can manage it.)Quote:

I know they added Sumner, who looks like a terrific player. I still cannot understand why a kid with that size, arm strength, the huge high school stats and then getting named Gatorade Player of the year can only have one offer. But, the kid is good and they do a nice job with developing talent. It is funny how we had no QB's and then they were down to bare bones. I think after those two quit, they have their starter (who was a freshman) and a walk on QB. Now adding Sumner. My guess is they will add a Juco. They probably had too much depth. Kids want to play.
Saw Vraa at metrodome for the Vikings halftime Minn HS achievements, kid got player of the year of course. Saw a couple of the other NDSU recruits. lots of talent not signed yet!
Beau Allen is a beast and Sentrel henderson was almost as big as mckinnie, DAYUM!!
What, I thought kids went to SDSU because they like to hunt and fish, what in the heck does playing have to do with that? How could these guys transfer out, I thought Coach Stig did such a good job in checking out players, this can't be right.:DQuote:

Just what I understand from the stuff I have read. Wisconsin and Iowa State offered walk-on positions according to the same news sources, but that was it.Quote:

He has stated that he wants to play right away and make a difference. Maybe NDSU still has chance with him.
Not according to the question/answer post Hallstrom made on Dec 9:Quote:

A: Not really. We've already got a QB who says he's coming so we're probably good. It's tough to take two in the same class.
(my note here....WDAY has reported that Esley Thorton from Bismarck has verballed, so that must be the guy he's talking about but he can't comment on him until signing day...Some have speculated that Thorton may be moved to safety or OLB, but this comment makes it pretty clear in my mind that they're locked in on him as a QB.)
Later in the same day, Hallstrom posted this:
* Bison are not considering Esley Thorton (Bismarck QB) to play safety or linebacker. He will likely be the only QB taken in this year's class.
If that is true, then Steig is impressively efficient with the dollars he has, unlike someone else I know.Quote:

I don't think your getting it. Coach Stig doesn't have "sit on my thumbs, wait and see" mentality.Quote:

Having 15 verbals before the season is over is a rarity, not typically the standard. There are still plently of good recruits out there, especially for the FCS. This is the time of year that recruits who were waiting for an FBS offer realize it's not coming and start picking out their FCS options.
Has Coach Stig/SDSU got lucky with their recruits? Yes, but that's what recruiting is. It's an evaluated risk and you try to take players that have less risk, but they all have risk.
So while you wait other schools will come knocking if the recruit is that desirable for FCS. Can't tell me all these recruits that turn out well just happen to be unknowns who only SDSU can find.Quote:

That means competition with other schools for a limited number of the better recruits. You are not going to get these guys unless you have some advantage. SDSU's one season blip on the radar does not buy them that much.
Not all of SDSU's recruits are "hidden gems" and they do compete with other schools for players.Quote:

Here's a recruit from last year who was offered by Wyoming and recruited by your former D-Coordinator Breske. (Notice he committed 01/22/09, this is a fairly normal time for a recruit to make his decision)
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...recruit-search
If you choose South Dakota State from this link you will get 19 players that are being recruited by SDSU this year that are also being recruited by other schools.
It's hard to say how the question was asked by Steve. They were trading phone messages. Bohl might not count a JC transfer as a "freshman" in the same class as Thorton. He might see them as different "classes". It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
If Rodgers wanted to come to NDSU Bohl would be crazy to not take him.
From Hallstrom(Bison Media Blog):

More on Vraa
Traded some emails with Rosemount coach Jeff Erdmann today.
He says Air Force, NDSU, SDSU, and the Gophers are still interested in Zach Vraa, but if he had to bet money, he'd guess Vraa winds up with NDSU. Says he really likes the coaches and had a good visit over the weekend.
Air Force has apparently not offered but are looking at tape.
And it goes without saying that if Minnesota offers, he's a Gopher. My take, not the coach's.
NDSU has interest in Wr Julius Shelby 6'4 200 lbs of Proviso West High School in Bellwood, IL.

Yes. This practice is becoming increasingly common in the major programs.Quote:
