Kicker Wanted: Indoors, no wind, no competition. Please sign up.
Marcus williams will be a SHUT DOWN corner at this level!Quote:

Neblett had an offer at one time, but is no longer being recruited by NDSU for whatever reason. But he did indeed have an offer.Quote:

OLB is a guess on my part. My memory isn't always good, but I think I read an article on him this summer. It said he was a top prospect at LB but had to play QB for his team this year because of graduation of last years QB and he was such a good athlete he was going to step in. I haven't seen anything since. That's about all I have to go on. I remembered it because I thought he was a guy that might slide under the radar because of the move to QB.
Again...my memory is sometimes suspect.
Edit: I found an article. Gilson led his team in tackles as a Junior and also played RB. Played mostly MLB and a youtube video shows him also playing some OLB. This year he played QB and LB. He broke his hand so for a few weeks he played FB and LB until he could throw the ball again. I think it is safe to say we aren't looking for him at QB (although he threw 0 INT's this year), but it could be OLB, MLB, or FB.
Who is the next verbal? I am guessing Zach Vraa. At least that is my wish. I think he is a difference level at our level of play. He is a great athlete (basketball player) and he is big. We need as many athletes as possible. I hope he realizes his opportunity to play in front of a packed house, playing time, and a bunch of young QB's.
We can cross Kyle Costigan off the list. He has committed to Wisconsin.

Hallstrom reported that he is planning to play next fall if his grades stay up.
I don't think we will sign another O Lineman. Esala has a reported offer on rivals, but that is a partial offer. We have signed 5 O lineman this class already. Costigan was a longshot after he begged online for the Central Michigan offer, got that and then Wisconsin offered. He had alot of good offers. Looks like a solid player. I am guessing we are done at O line.
Exactly thats NOT concrete, "if" scares me. Hope he can but I will be much more at ease when Bohl says he is on the roster!!Quote:

Doesn't look like there is an Architecture program at Air Force. I like that.Quote:

Northern Illinois actually offered Costigan. He was extremely interested in CMU, but they never offered him.Quote:

One of the top players in the state of Nebraska this past season was Lavant Moore of Omaha Burke. The talented receiver averaged 19 yards per catch and 115 per game and earned first-team all-state (all class) honors by both of the state's major newspapers. Is he getting any looks from the Huskers?
Moore reeled in 54 catches for 1,031 yards over nine games as a senior.
"I'm getting a lot of Division II schools coming in right now," the 6-foot-3, 181-pound Moore said. "UNO has already offered and South Dakota State said they're getting ready to send an offer too. I'm also getting a lot of attention from North Dakota State, Northwest Missouri State, Delaware and a few others."
"As far as major schools like Nebraska, they're still waiting to make sure I have all of my academics in order. With my current (ACT) score, I need to finish my second semester with all 'B's' to qualify…which shouldn't be a problem. I took the ACT over again a couple of weeks ago. I'm hoping I boosted the score even more."
A starter on the gridiron since his sophomore season, Moore hauled in 54 catches for 1,031 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2009. With good height and solid speed (4.6-second 40-yard dash), he established himself as one of the top players in the state.
"I was trying to make it look easy out there," Moore said. "The college coaches all tell me that I have really strong hands - that I catch the ball at it's highest point. They say my route running is good and I time the jump balls really well. They say that as long as I keep bringing my speed down, I could be a real threat at the Division I level."
"I visited Nebraska three times this fall for football games and they said they're very interested. They're just waiting on my grades. When I went to their camp last summer, they told me I was one of the top receivers at their camps and gave me a lot of one on one attention."
Here is his potential competition (if Vraa makes the "wrong" choice)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQsr1HVh0r0
Looks like he is touting his blocking skills on the tape. I don't think of that first from a wide out, but I guess they block on nearly every play and only make a few catches a game. He is a team mate of Michael Allen who is the running back we have an offer to (according to Rivals).
Looks like he's going to visit "The Hole" (where the bunnies live...in Brookings....) in early January.
Looks decent but it seems like he takes a long time to break down in his cuts...theres a lot of idle chop.Quote:

“I'm planning on visiting Minnesota,” he added.
Carus was a first-team all-conference selection as a junior last season.
We really f'd up on Esala...I have first hand knowledge that he would have committed back in July at the top prospects camp but the offer didn't come them. We offered Turner the same day and Esala was given the "we will have to wait and see" speech. Esala has stated that he is feeling very "jerked around" by his recruiting coach (Dickert).Quote:

We grabbed our top five choices at O Line from that camp.
we could use all of them

Let's see how this plays out. He may end up being a Bison after all..
Recruiting is always a bit of a crap shoot and mistakes WILL be made. That said, our fans need to re-read Burgandy's post. The staff likes Esala, but they had a few players ranked higher. They ultimately got commitments from EVERYONE on that list!! They evaluated players first-hand, identified their top priority targets and GOT THEM ALL! If Esala turns out to br better than some or all of them, I will not be shocked--but the staff deserves some credit for landing a group of offensive linemen that they really like.Quote:

If waiting to see if a guy a higher on the list is going to accept an offer is getting "jerked around" by a coach than personally don't think the problem is with the coaches. Every year you hear comments like this during recruiting either about NDSU or other schools and its only going to happen more frequently as offers start to get made earlier and earlier. Just the way recruiting goes. So far it seems our coaches are recruiting and getting the verbals from the kids they want. Only time will tell if these are the right kids though.
I do not see offers to a kicker? Coach said he was going to change tactics and get a kicker? any news
Bibeaux was given an extra year of eligibility via hardship, so we won't need another kicker until next year.Quote:

It's time to offer this guy. I'm a fan of chubby kickers. He also played OL.

If the news reports that Grant Olson has verbally committed, I think that is great news!! I saw some highlights this year of Waysata on WCCO and he looked like a beast at LB. Hallstrom has a good write up on him. I like what his DC had to say about him.

This class is shaping up, just need Vraa to commit now.
Does anyone know ANYTHING about Don Carter yet?
Not much. There is this: http://www.pioneerlocal.com/lakefore...509-s1.articleQuote:

"He's a kid who can run around and make plays," said LF Academy coach Ted Stewart. "He's still raw, and his best football is ahead of him."
The present is pretty good for Carter, too. During Saturday's 40-6 victory over host La Lumiere (Ind.), Carter scored a trio of touchdowns. His only carries of the game turned into TD runs of two, 48 and 71 yards.
Nothing wrong with a linebacker who's got feet! :)Quote:
