Looks like Jackson now holds offers from:
Arkansas-Pine Bluff
Grambling
Louisianna-Monroe
Prairie View A&M
Along with NDSU and Navy
I noticed on scout.com it listed him having an offer from Rice as well now. I think rivals.com showed that he was scheduled for an official visit there last weekend.Quote:

Jason Pomerenke talks about his verbal to NDSU... still coming.
In other news, Generalisimo Francisco Franco is still dead.*
* A catchphrase that predates many of the posters on this board.
What other schools have offered him and where did he visit?Quote:

The article states he is sure he is going to NDSU and that he did not visit anyone else. It doesn't mention who else he had offers from.Quote:

Any news on kicker recruit for NDSU? As I posted in another topic:
Sounds like SDSU got some good kicking recruits to verbal. Wish Bohl would put a greater emphasis on getting a decent punter / kicker. He does to that position like he used to with QB's (oh and Drago was a WR turned surprise great punter if someone wants to chime in with that response). According to Terry V regarding SDSU's recent recruit:
The other verbal is the second from Brandon Valley this year - Ethan Sawyer. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound senior will punt and he's ranked 18th nationally at that position. But he could also kick if necessary as he's ranked 40th at that spot. (SDSU also landed No. 52 kicker Justin Syrovatka.) And he was an all-conference linebacker this season.
Sawyer did, however, suffer a knee injury in the season finale. He's had surgery, is ahead of schedule with rehab and expects to be ready for fall camp.
For now, Sawyer will be a preferred walk-on, but he could earn a scholarship in his second year with starting punter Dean Priddy set to graduate. He had similar opportunities at UND, Montana State and UNI. USD was not in the mix even though his older brother, Sam, is a kicker there. (As an aside, Sam was seriously injured in a recent skiing accident.)
"SDSU has had a couple great kickers," Sawyers said. "I don't know if there's something in the water in Brookings or what."
Fred Jackson has committed to Rice.

Dang... I really wanted to see him and Kevin Jackson, Ryan Smith, and Trevor Gehbart on the track running relays but an FBS offer in your backyard - hard to turn down.Quote:

In other words great facilities and outstanding fan support.
Maybe Bohl is counting on Jastram or Obarski to make a strong showing in spring ball? I would be surprised to not see a walk-on at least though in this class.Quote:

I'm glad you brought this up, I noticed it a couple of days ago when I was posting about the attrition rates of various recruiting classes. I thought I had heard that, looked and saw Jason off the roster, and then for some stupid reason forgot to add him to the list of those gone off of the 2008 class.Quote:

When and why did the younger one leave?Quote:

Rats!
Another guy we have interest in is Tregg Waters (AZ) as noted before. Here's what I could dig up:
He had a track meet last year where he ran just under 11 seconds in the 100m. Most of the others I saw were at 11.5 seconds or so. He is up to 6'1" and 185 lbs according to a site. SDSU is also looking at him. He played CB and WR for a team that was about .500.
I'll take it a step further. PK is the 2nd most important position behind QB. Every other position you can make do with an average player and/or effort, but you get an average kicker you gonna regret it.Quote:

hhhhhhahahahhaa, well not sure about the mid/late 90's, but considering the 80's that's the funniest thing posted in a long time.
I seriously don't know. I only noticed it a few days ago when I was looking at attrition rates and found it really interesting. Then, like an idiot, I completely forgot about him not being on the roster when I posted 6/20 leaving the 2008 class. I feel like an idiot. I am glad bh reminded us.Quote:

Love the 2010 class though. Hope they all stick around like the 09 class, then we will be cooking with gas.
He left after the season 2 years ago I believe. May have been during the season but I know he wasn't with the team last season. Had a little trouble with teammates is the reason he left.Quote:

Since we don't see much in the offer list or in the way of updates...... maybe Bohl had a secret tryout with all the current players and will "promote" from within and personally guide the development of a player currently on the roster to be the next kicker or punter........Quote:

A little write up on Travis Beck.

Just for fun, click this link to see Beck in a Munich-Starkweather basketball game against Cando. Travis is #24 in white.Quote:

Cliff's notes:
--at the :59 mark he leaves a defender in the dust with a nice behind the back dribble.
--at the 1:51 mark he makes a nice baseline drive to his left for a layup.
--at the 2:42 mark he gets up in the air fairly high to make a nice block but get's called for goaltending (bad call).
--at the 3:08 mark hits a nice looking 3 pointer from the right wing.
--at 4:54 he drives into the lane and makes an impressive adjustment to his shot to avoid a block a scores.
--and, finally, at 5:49 a nice turn around jumper.
Another verbal
