I was just thinking the same thing about Lotzer, why not offer him some scholarship money and give him a chance. I think he could be a diamond in the rough.Quote:

The coaches may know differently, but there may still be an outside chance of getting Taylor Davis, the QB from AZ, who committed to Idaho earlier. If Davis is out of the picture, Lotzer might be next in line (preferred walk-on?).Quote:

So Tony, 2- WR verballed today, Kevin Brooks, WR from Houston along with Cooper Wahlo, Jr from Woodbury. Any news on Brock Jensen QB verballing as Hallstrom said he might?
If Brock Jensen verbals as Hallstrom suggests you could say the same thing about him I guess. He isn't listed on any site I can find.Quote:

Updates:
Nice couple hours for NDSU :D
- Add Kevin Brooks from Houston (Westside), TX to Verbal list
- Updated Cooper Wahlo, Jr. to a Verbal
- Added Brock Jenson to the Offer list.
You can add Brock Jensen to the list of commits per Steve Hallstrom on the WDAY 10 PM sports!
Woot! Done!
I know most have seen this from Hallstrom but great info on Jensen. Something tells me with Mohler and Jensen and all the WR NDSU is recruiting we are going to see some elements of the spread option.
Brock Jensen verballed today, as we sort of expected after talking to him last night....Someday I'll blog about this but the difference in the phone conversations between him and AJ Westendorp was immense. None of us has any idea how these two will turn out as college players, but Westendorp is more highly regarded by all of the football people I've talked to. That being said, Jensen sounded like USC offered him when I talked to him last night. I thought he was going to jump through the phone and try to get to Fargo right now. AJW was, as I've posted here before, very unsure of the whole thing. Again, DOES NOT MAKE HIM A BAD PERSON, but there's no question that one guy is going to come to NDSU and feel like he's the luckiest kid on earth, while the other would have looked at it as an acquired taste.
Jensen says Wisconsin offered him a preferred walk-on, but he told them early in the process that he wanted to find a full-ride offer. He said he's talked to some people that did the walk-on thing and you're fighting that stigma from day one (from coaches and teammates). Says he's 6-3, 208 right now (must look pretty good in a high school uniform), and says the experience of leading his team to a high school state title was big for his confidence. He's very confident but in an unassuming way. Called me sir about 6 times, and very well spoken. Mom and Dad appear to have done well. He had 2700 combined yards last season and 33 TD.
He said he had a lot of respect for Vigen and Bohl because they were up front with him right away about where he stood (that there were 2 guys on NDSU's list ahead of him), but he didn't take offense at all.
He also told me that NDSU coaches have now told him that he is the only QB they plan to take this class, so unless something happens late, it appears that they have cut bait on Taylor Davis, the AZ kid.
