Veldman and Smith are Ends. He's a guard.
oh, I thought he was a TE, my bad. I still don't think he's interested in us. I'll take a 4 year guy anyway.
Hmmm, I thought Carufel was an OT.Quote:

"As we noted two weeks ago. Winona Cotter senior quarterback Thomas O'Brien (6-foot-2, 185 pounds) is the most prolific passer in the state of Minnesota this season. O'Brien is averaging 30 passing attempts per game. He is completing 61% of his throws, and has a TD/Int ratio of 19 to 5." More details on their pay site.
Did we have any recruits at the Gopher game? Were we allowed to have any recruits at the gopher game? It was an away game and I'm sure the NCAA has some rule against it.
Recruits were probably at the game but it was all on their own dime and NDSU could not talk to them.Quote:

That's funny...it is kind of a dump. Let's hope there were many HS FB players there to witness a great performance by the Herd!Quote:

espn.com's recruiting section for the Bison sucks, they only list one player, and it is Luckas Scott, a RB from Gilbert, AZ.
http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recru...choolId%3d2449
Apparently, HE is interested in NDSU (and Boise St, Utah, Colorado, and Washington) but has only heard from Colorado.
That is my #1 complaint about espn's recruiting coverage, is basically the lack of coverage of 1-AA. I like the rest of their content, but the recruiting is executed as though the FCS didn't even exist.
We don't need the coverage. Just exposure so players actually know we exist.Quote:

I want the coverage on there just so I can know it, recruting benefits to us aside. I just want to know what's going on and it would be helpful for espn to cover fcs recruiting a bit more.
I think it would be kinda hard for ESPN to cover FCS recruiting. Many FCS schools don't get commitments before/during the season. Plus many FCS recruits are kids that are right on the cusp of getting a FBS offer but for whatever reason they didn't get it. I'm sure they are already covering some of these kids but we won't know if they are a FCS recruit until after a couple FBS schools pass on them.Quote:

has there been anymore verbals other than the three and possibly the juco yet?

Richardson is listed at 310 on the recruiting site you provided a link for, but if he is 340 that would be a nice addition for us on first and second downs stuffing the run.
Nice find - I've added him to the list.Quote:

Normally I'd be bummed out but he's not any better than Paschall, who gives us 3 years, not 2. We should never let a local player of his caliber play somewhere else. Same with guys like Solum.Quote:

I see the team our commit, Preston Evans from Sioux Falls Roosevelt, completely dominated their opening round game 69-7 on Tuesday. I didn't see an individual stats but the team they were playing only managed to get 140ish total yards on offense.
Yeah, speed rusher he won't be, but if he can occupy two blockers, clog the middle and push the pocket a bit that is plenty good for me.
Anybody else missing the Bisoninsider.com? I loved the recruiting info. we got from there. And the other stuff too.
no kidding!

Just a blurb in Dickinson Press about how he's going to NDSU in a story about his team winning a semi-final game in which he rushed for 250+ yards and had 350 or so yards of total offense.
North Prairie is a co-op between Rolla and Rollette, two former powerhouses in 9-man football. They play 11-man this year and are doing quite well. I'd heard alot about McAtee but I didn't know he was of this caliber.Quote:

And more confirmation about NDSU in this story:
http://www.bismarcktribune.com/artic...cal/141688.txt
I imagine we are interested in him as a LB/DB right?
Hehe, I don't even try to guess anymore. McAtee could play a number of different positions. Kind of a coincidence having two Rolla kids on the team at once since I don't remember any before Vandal.Quote:

If he's already 200+ lbs. he could easily be a fullback. With the off-season training program, he could easily be another Tyler Roehl type runner.
There is a little talk on him here, http://www.northdakotapreps.com/view...st=0&sk=t&sd=a but I don't think that many people have seen him play, the ones that have, say he's the best.
That topic just covers class AA, so there is no talk of Josh Horner, but McAtee's coach says he is the best in the state, including all the class AAA schools.
The reason I assumed we were interested in his defensive skills is that we already have a lot of young guys at RB and FB, but you can never have too many I guess.
thats a pretty bold comment considering Horner's numbers, against perhaps better competition?Quote:

We were told today that we do not have a verbal from a ND kid at this point.
