It all depends on how Fargo South does. They were pretty weak last year I hope some of that talent develops over the summer.

The student-athletes don't have to be taking "summer classes", per se, but they do have to be enrolled in a phy ed conditioning class, which is a 1 or 2 credit deal. My recollection is that the student-athlete has to pay for this themselves as their scholarship only covers the 'regular' academic year and does not include summer sessions.Quote:

I sure hope all these incoming kids show up this summer and bust their you know what. If they do it could send a message to the current players to step up or get bumped down in the depth chart.
Question: When is the cutoff date for going into super-panic mode about the kicker situation?
So recruiting kickers is different and takes longer, but how much longer?
I'm hearing that if it's May and no kicker yet then it's time to panic.Quote:

Found a good article on Michael Murphy from Hollister CA:

Travis Beck was named to the ND All District 8 team last night in Langdon.
Any new info on Keorris Berry? His rivals page still says no committment made?
Any word on him walking on some where? Is NDSU still an option?

Berry was recruited by Coach Camp. My understanding is that the rest of the staff wasn't that excited by him. When Camp left and the Bison landed Grant Olson, Berry was off the board. The Bison signed SIX high school linebackers and two juco linebackers. We could still use a kicker and maybe a corner (Michael Allen?).Quote:

The Golden Gopher football program picked up a commitment from La Marque (Texas) wide receiver Logan Hutton on National Signing Day when he faxed in his signed letter of intent. Rivals.com ranks Hutton as a two-star prospect with a 5.2 rating as a wide receiver. GI's Lane Swansson took a look at Hutton's video and offered up a talent evaluation of the future Golden Gopher.
Hutton already has fairly good size for a Big Ten wide receiver at 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds. Hutton played in a spread offense in high school where he was used mostly as a possession receiver. He does a great job of running three step routes in which he creates space for himself to catch the ball.
If I am a Gopher Fan, I am officially pissed that Brewster did not take Vraa at WR. You have an in state kid who wanted to be a Gopher. He is just as fast, has better hands and was your Mr. Football. Plus, he is bigger. Hutton turned down Navy and Sam Houston State. Brewster wins another huge recruiting battle! I understand passing on Vraa if you win a huge battle and get a 3 star kid that had other offers, or was athletically superior to Vraa, but this kid absolutely is not.
Their loss is our gain. Vraa is going to be a superstar for the Bison. Gebhart and Vraa for years to come. Midwest kids that want to be here. That is exciting.

Looks like this is a kicker that NDSU is going after.
Also, Bisonhusker, noooooo! Cue WildBill response in three, two, one... :)
Jonathan Gerry from Colorado. GREAT find, Tony!Quote:

Sounds like a very good recruit. However, don't underestimate the role that having "family in that area" can play.
Well, consider yourself a high-school student considering colleges - wouldn't the idea of going to a whole new city with no one you know there a little intimidating? A big reason I picked NDSU was because I have a bunch of aunts and uncles in town - it can be reassuring, at least, to know you have family in town who can help out if something goes haywire or just to be there. He also cites wanting his family to see him play.Quote:

This is good to see that they believe that we have a highly ranked recruiting class. The only thing is that whither these players will pan out and what the retention rate of this class is going to be. Hopefully we can retain all these players and climb up the poll rankings.Quote:

That's got to sting a little in Brookings to see their recruiting class rated lower than und and USD.
SDSU fans don't put any credibility in that ranking. Getting more kids that were on Rivals doesn't mean squat.
But the fact that SDSU got several kids that had offers from USD, and USD got 0 players that had an offer from SDSU probably means alot more.
I'm sure the credibility of the ranking would also be in question had the rankings been reversed... :rolleyes:Quote:

All the ranking really means to me is that you pulled in a lot of recruits from metro areas. USD is up on the list because they recruit a lot of chicago area athletes.
That ranking is littered with schools that never field competitive FCS teams. It's fun to look at, but it doesn't mean much.
ill be the first one to admitt it...i am not gonna say anything bad about sdsu's recruiting, u guys have beaten us 3 years in a row and have had far fewer off the field issues....u guys recruit better talent and better character kids than we have in the past years and i respect u guys for that......but on the other hand i am extremely excited to see where our program is in a year or two with the classes we have coming in, it just might be a little easier drive home from brookings from now on :)Quote:

Good post and absolutely true.Quote:
