so McAtee hasnt verballed?
maybe he's agreed to be a walk-on. Doesn't matter, he's carried a good team through a tough schedule.
I'm not sure if this has been posted or not(I didnt want to read 7 pages).
Seth Nichols 6'4" 220lb QB. Dakota Prairie High School(9-man). Offers from: Iowa, Iowa State, NDSU and UND are going after him.
http://www.grandforksherald.com/arti...534§ion=Sports
Seth Nichols is putting up big numbers . They are using the spread offense. He is a great multisport athlete, could play college baseball too. I think he may be even taller than 6'4". NDSU has been talking to him alot. He seems to be exactly what the college teams are after for the spread offense. He has a great arm!!
Big numbers is an understatement! His 509 total yards in last weekends playoff game were incredible! Sounds like quite an athlete. Anyone know what his season passing and rushing stats are?
Go Bison,
Bob Holiday
Hey Bobby...
From the GF Herald... Seth Nichols has rushed for 1,115 yds on 156 attempts (7.1 ypc) and 16 TD's. He has also completed 166 of 256 passing attempts (65%) for 2,840 yards and 48 TD's... Geez, 64 TD's... not a bad season. The leading receiver (yardage-wise) for Dakota Prairie, Tyler Luehring has caught 38 passes for 940 yards and 22 TD's.
Yep, apparently the stories in the Bismarck Tribune and Dickinson Press were incorrect - McAtee has not committed anywhere.Quote:

apparently we lost a recruiting battle on QB/FS Jody VanLaanen who chose Northern Illinois...

also, it looks like QB Brad Meade is no longer on our radar as he is setting up visits with UMD and MSUM
According to this story, NDSU has offered (or is very close to offering), defensive end Andrew Wasmund from Horicon, WI a schollie. A WR/DE. Two-time conference defensive MVP. Wants to play baseball too though.

I think we should be able to beat MSU-M in recruiting a football player. ;)Quote:

Just watched Bison commit LB Preston Evans play tonight in the South Dakota state championship game. His SF Roosevelt Roughriders defeated SF Washington by a score of 28-24. I believe Evans finished the game with 6 tackles. Evans' body frame is very Joe Mays-ish..
Speaking of which, here is a pre-championship story about him. Sounds like Joe Mays:Quote:

He sounds like the real deal. Nice steal for our coaching staff to go into SDSU's back yard and get this guy.Quote:

What other schools are showing interest in him at this point?Quote:

You would think they would want to roll the dice as they have near even odds of winning the game. Could pull off a big recruiting gain........but the risk of a loss might just leave them in worse shape.Quote:

According to Kolpack's blog, Offerman is targeted as a DE and not a DT:Quote:

That despite teams having a tendency to run away from him, said head coach Chris Simdorn.
The former Bison quarterback said his team designed most of its offense around the tight end Offerman either as a receiver or a lead blocker. He had 20 receptions for 380 yards and four touchdowns. He had 20 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown.
He was also the team's punter averaging 35 yards a boot.
Does anyone know which is correct?
I'm not sure if the coaches are targeting him as an end or tackle, but I think a good parallel might be a guy like Frick. I believe he was 255-260-ish when he was signed as a defensive end, but he put on bulk in the weight room and moved inside to tackle. Again, just purely based on position/size as I haven't seen him play.
Who are the top North Dakota recruits? I'll start w/south. Any other names to add?
Josh Horner RB Fargo South
Alex Hooey LB Fargo South
I don't remember his name, but I think there is a OL from Fargo North that is real solid, something like 6'4", 265 with the frame to go 290-295.Quote:

They have one of the best facilities in the nation.” An all-conference selection as a junior, Reid had 93 tackles, three sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception last season. He is ranked as WisFootball.net's No. 11 overall prospect and No. 3 linebacker in the class of 2008 ...
From what I've heard, Reid is the real deal... a tackling machine with very good speed. He original verbally committed to Western Michigan, but decided the better of it. Also has heard form Iowa State, UNLV, Wyoming, and Central Michigan. I believe the Bison have offered a full ride.
A very good way of keeping up with Bison recruiting in Wisconsin is reading the articles on Wisfootball.net. I know I read the articles every day.
In the blurbs for the MN all-state ballotting they mention the following students as having some level of interest from NDSU:
Collin Stinogel, WR/OLB, St. Cloud Tech: 6-3, 200, 38 tackles and three interceptions. A likely candidate for offensive player of the year in the Central Lakes Conference. A two-year starter who had 35 catches for 524 yards, a 15.0 average, with 3 TDs for the 9-1 Tigers.
Jordan Eaton, TE/DE St. Paul Highland Park. 6'5" 235 lbs. 56 tackles, 6 sacks, 14 TFL, 1 blocked kick, 2 fumble recoveries, 4 pass breakups. Also had 23 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed on offense
Eric Dirkes, OL/DL SR, Albany: 6-2, 290, also a defensive tackle. Top offensive lineman for an 11-1 Class 3A team that is in the state semifinals at the Metrodome. Excellent strength and size. A co-captain, he's the lead blocker for an offense that averages 300 yards rushing per game. Also a power-hitting first baseman/designated hitter in baseball
