Excellent point. Especially coming from a small school where some of the kids have never even seen a weightroom.Quote:

LB/FB on your hands, pretty good size for a MLB. Also, the whole speed will come with size, its hard to judge a high school kid, and when coming from a small school even harder because they are playing 2-3 sports a year, and not getting to live in the weightroom like they would at the FCS level, the weightroom and training will develop the speed and size. Also, having the "nose for the ball/instincts" will help a LB overcome being a little slower. Just my thoughts....Quote:

Jemison would be a good get for NDSU
When will we start to see some commits coming NDSU's way?
uggh....I had a nice post and somehow deleted it.
Yes, we need some verbals. The FS kid would be huge. Put him in "right color green." I would ask the kid...."Hey, do you want to play in the best conference at our level (Sorry BisonNeil...I know you disagree, but this is recruiting...you have opinions....), or do you want to play Lamar and Iona...the two teams UND has reportedly just signed. Lamar does not have a football program...but they will in 2010...you can't make this up. Iona has no scholarships....are they still talking about Valpo? Didn't think so. Best facilities, hometown, sellout crowds, playoff eligible....and PLENTY of playing time available at linebacker!!! Sign this kid up!!! I really want him.
Is it abnormal that we only have one verbal at this point in recruiting?
yeah it seems to me that last year at this time we had more verbals...but im guessin with how our team has played this season its tough for recruits to really want to jump at the oppotunity, but im guessin we'll be gettin several recruits to the SDSU game where the environment will be crazy and we'll get a few more verbals than
another nd kid to look at is sanford from watford city qb/s
was a complete stud on defense and led then to victory on offense
project him as a safety in college

Northfield senior Cole Jirik acknowledged Friday after the Raiders' 31-12 victory over previously unbeaten Orono in the Class 4A state semifinals at the Metrodome that he had just played the best game of his career. The best news of all for Jirik was that he is going to be able to remember it.
By game's end, Jirik had three sacks, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, a blocked field goal, a touchdown catch and 69 receiving yards.
Jirik (6-5, 225 with a 4.6-second 40) has scholarship offers from Western Michigan and North Dakota State. One has to wonder why some bigger schools haven't come calling. Perhaps that will change after Friday.
Sullivan has heard through the grapevine that recruiters have labeled him as being "a little light."
Jirik said he hopes to hear from some other schools. Sullivan knows this: Jirik is a football player.
"He's going to help somebody's program," Sullivan said.
[QUOTE=Mr. Burgundy;229586] I would ask the kid...."Hey, do you want to play in the best conference at our level (Sorry BisonNeil...I know you disagree, but this is recruiting...you have opinions....), QUOTE]
Of course everyone is entitled to have their opinion. Unfortunately, in this case, the facts, the data, don't support that opinion. In actuality, it's not even close. So, in my case its not opinion, it is simply my accepting the facts that support two other conferences being much better than the MVFC, at least during the past 15 yrs. That could change, obviously.

I understand your point Bisonneil, but I was actually using that in a quote like you would tell a recruit. Like a Texas coach would tell a recruit he would play in the best conference in the nation. (Big 12). But, some may argue SEC....It is just selling your program. Plus, we aren't exactly recruiting against other conferences all that often. We are targeting mostly kids in the region, Chicago, Omaha, Minneapolis, Texas. It is the sales pitch I was talking about, and I think NDSU has a really good one. But, if a recruit wants to break down spreadsheets...etc, they may find that there is a comparable conference out there.
Lets try to stay on track here please..... go to the other thread listed to argue what conference is better. Burdundy was just pointing out a ploy that recruiters use.
I agree that the south kid (Jemison) would be a good get and could be molded into a nice LB similar to Humber (speed/skill)-that is who he reminds me of (of course after a couple of years in NDSU's weight program)

I am guessing Minn is viewing him as a recruited walk on. If he gets a Big Ten or major offer, he is probably gone. If not....NDSU is a possiblity.
ch 11 had a mention of anders lee being metro player of year at 10 last night, said. NDSU, NORTHERN ILLINOIS for football.... everyone for hockey.
http://www.startribune.com/sports/pr...L7PQLanchO7DiU
Lee, who said he was "really surprised" to win the award, is being recruited as a football player by Northern Illinois, North Dakota State and the Gophers -- though the hometown school became more of a long shot when standout Indianapolis QB recruit MarQueis Gray recently posted a qualifying score on his ACT and is expected to rejoin the Gophers in January.
As a hockey player, Lee (6-3, 215) has visited Harvard and still has recruiting trips set up with Denver, Notre Dame and, again, the Gophers
ESPN has some prospect names (and some videos and commentary) on a few players who are considering NDSU. Looks like a couple nationally ranked ESPN players; which is interesting. Just thought I'd share -- didn't see this here.
(Seems like that #118 TE is down to NDSU/SDSU. . . interesting.)
QB recruit- Aaron Kondrasuk
Quote:
-Monona Grove quarterback Aaron Kondrasuk (6-0, 200) is the type of overall athlete and just all-around good person that colleges love to recruit.
A 4.0 GPA student, National Honor Society member, High Honor Roll member and Academic Excellence award winner, Kondrasuk has also worked as a volunteer at numerous youth camps.........
Ok so now that the season is over can we try to get a list at the top of this thread and get a sticky on it so we know where we stand on recruits.
Here's a little Metro recruit update for you:
According to Minnesotapreps.com offer has been made to Terrell Sinkfield- RB- Hopkins, MN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeLA7cChaWg
Someone they could look into as an Athlete, Chase Vogler- QB/WR/FS- Rosemount, MN, first clip is QB and the other is WR/FS.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjVkWx0ZuBk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dE-rgT3E80
Marcus Binns- Cretin Derham Hall- RB, now getting strong interest from NDSU according to Minnesotapreps.com
Tyler Gimmestad- Marshall, MN- OL, offers from NDSU, UND, USD, UNI according to Minnesotapreps.com
There are others that a quick update, hopefully more good news with committs coming.
Also this was in the StarTribune yesterday the 10 finalist for Mr. Football. Some players we are recruiting.
Edina quarterback Anders Lee
Pelican Rapids quarterback Tydan Storrusten
Becker running back Jake Gibbons
Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City running back Kurtis Huisman
Brainerd running back Colby Ring
Owatonna offensive tackle Casey Dehn
Orono linebacker Brett Skoog
Apple Valley defensive back Varmah Sonie.
Blaine quarterback James Peterson
Northfield linebacker Cole Jirik
Casey Dehn - is a Wisconsin verball. I think he grew up in Wisconsin.Quote:

There was only one FCS school and NDSU was it. I like that!
http://wisconsinpreps.rivals.com/vie...p?pr_key=79692
Another area we need an influx of talent, I think, is at WR. In MN it seems Derrick Engel is a hot WR prospect, 6'2", 170 lbs, runs a 4.4 40. NDSU and UND listed as well as a bunch of FBS teams.
http://minnesotapreps.rivals.com/vie...p?pr_key=82640
The St Cloud Times just had their all area team in the paper the other day. Only saw one player mentioned to being recruited by NDSU, but it seems like he's a real good one:
Kris Olson, Foley
Also, if we are looking for any kickers, Shion Lanz of Sauk Rapids seemed like he had a solid season, even setting some school records.
Here are the player profiles:
http://www.sctimes.com/article/20081...111280006/1020
SHION LANZ
KICKER, SAUK RAPIDS
Sr., 5-8, 150 ... Ninety percent of his kickoffs ended up in the end zone ... Set school record with 45-yard field goal against Apollo ... Averaged 55.65 yards per kick off ... Made 35 of 37 of extra-point attempts ... College prospect.
DEFENSE
kris olson
defensive lineman, foley
Sr., 6-4, 205 ... All-state nominee whose versatility made him a huge asset ... Played defensive end, nose tackle, tight end, fullback and wide receiver ... Had 41 tackles, including 19 solos, three tackles for loss, ... Also had 39 knockdown blocks and caught 14 passes for 365 yards ... Being recruited by North Dakota State, Minnesota-Duluth and Yale.
Have any of these guys visited or planning to visit anytime soon?
I know the Pelican Rapids QB Storrusten made an official visit at the homecoming game.Quote:

Nice find BisonFANatic. Looks like this guy is already wearing the right colors. Also love this kids size....6-5 and 285. Who knows by the time he puts in a couple years of weight training he could end up playing at 6-6 and 310.Quote:

Another visit planned by a Wisconsin recruit as reported in the Bison Media Blog as follows.
The first Monday following Thanksgiving should have some sort of nickname to it for FCS programs. It's when recruiting really starts to get hot.
NDSU is among the final three for tight end/defensive end Justin Juckem from Chilton, Wis., according to Rivals.com. Juckem visited Washington State and also lists Boston College as his top three. Not bad company.
Bison coaches are set for a home visit this week for the 6-5, 245-pound Juckem and he said he plans on making a decision perhaps this week.
It was a few weeks ago when Boston College offered Juckem. I thought he would verbal to them right away.Quote:
