same here. sounds like 1/2 of our commits haven't received any other schollie offers. Not even from some D2 teams. Scary. We are either going to get alot of diamonds in the rough or we are going to bury our program with yet another less than stellar recruiting class.Quote:

Woohoo! Need more LBs.
Looks like we have offers out to a couple others who may be LBs in college: Max Busher (Rosemount, MN), Grant Olson (Plymouth/Wayzata), Eric Oertel (Wisconsin), Keorris Berry (Nevada), Chad Gilson (Iowa).
My guess is the majority of D2 schools are waiting to see what borderline FBS prospects drop to FCS, and then what FCS prospects drop to D2. I think it's a bit early for a lot of D2 offers.
I know that some of these sites aren't real quick at updating who has been offered by whom, so some of these kids could have more under their belts. I would be a bit worried about offering a kid from Cedar Falls, for example, when Northern Iowa hasn't offered or a kid in Normal, IL., and Ill. St. hasn't offered.
Yeah, I don't think a D2 offer is going to tell us much, plus, no non-BCS out-of-state school's recruiting budget extends to North Dakota.
Are there any particular recruits folks are worried about? To me, it looks like we took a chance on a couple (Michael Hardie might turn out to be great but we offered him earlier than any of the South Dakota schools and Don Carter is an unknown to us - not that we know much about the WI kids). As far as the ND recruits, I think the Bohl staff is batting around .900 with a couple home runs so I've got no qualms about Gefroh - he's got good size and great wheels.
Of course, for any recruiting class to pan out, there has to be better retention (players and coaches).
Zach Vraa update:
NDSU is his only offer and he camped here.
"I haven't gotten anymore offers," said Vraa. "Right now I am talking to a few new schools. The University of North Dakota, Winona State and I am still in contact with Northwestern and the Gophers. I just kind of talking to coaches and just getting to know them."
"Right now I am just basically looking at football colleges, but I am not saying no to any basketball colleges yet, because anything can still happen. Right now it is strictly football."
If the kids are camping at NDSU, I would be less concerned. They could be under the radar to the point that literally no one has seen them. If we actually get to see the kids work, talk to them about football(see their football IQ), we should be ok. Plus, it seems a lot of schools don't have a lot of offers out yet(see SDSU).
Doesn't sound like he's made up his mind, does it?Quote:

My understanding is SDSU is the exception-they only have a handful of offers out. Everyone else in the area is likely on their plan B or C recruits by now.Quote:

SDSU has had their problems with this too in the past, and it seems Stig has moved away from making these offers the past few years.
