Well, look at UNI for example. Their QB Pat Grace is definitely dual threat, and he wins them games. Wasn't he a question mark last year too?Quote:

Just my take.

Just to be clear, Eden Prairie is in the Lake Conference. The Lake conference is arguably the toughest conference in the state. It's a huge conference and year in and year out the conference schedule is tough. A quick look at the current roster shows 5 players from the Lake and 1 player from the Classic Lake. I agree, we need more kids from these conferences.Quote:

heck, give me 2-3 eden prairie/wayzata/apple valley kids each and you'll have a great D1 defense in a couple years.
It would seem coaches would be all over Eden Prairie and the Lake conference. Some states, for ex. WI with Marlin, have better coverage of prospects, so we hear about them but not some MN prospects that don't quite have the same coverage. You can likely add another fifteen or so MN prospects to the above list that are being evaluated by coaches-but just aren't listed on Rivals or Scout.Quote:

Michael Hardie, a defensive lineman from O'Gorman, has verbally committed to NDSU for 2010. He impressed coaches at a recent camp.
O'Gorman is in Sioux Falls.
Thanks JacksFan, I really enjoy hearing news like this.

Karl Inoferio. A 5’11”, 175 LB defensive back from Holy Angels
NW: What other schools have been recruiting you so far?
KI: Probably the hardest right now, North Dakota State, the University of San Diego, and Northern Iowa.
NW: Any places that you’d like to go, or would like to hear from during the recruiting process?
KI: Definitely right now, the University of Minnesota would be my dream school, but I’m just looking to play division one football, so we’ll see how it goes.

Interesting dialogue on a non-official Gopher website. hmmmmQuote:

New offer: Muskego (WI) OL/DE Kyle Costigan (6-5, 250).

Moved Billy Turner from "Interest" to "Offered".
http://minnesotapreps.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=969207
Sounds like a heck of an athlete. At 6'5 270, he is a DI baseball recruit (first base and pitcher), his dad played in the NFL, and his older brother is a WR at UNI. He plays left tackle on offense but wants to play some DT and DE this year.
NDSU, UNI, and UND have all offered him.
Oh yeah, this is going to be like last year's summary so I'll be moving all the posts (other than the first one) to the main 2010 recruiting discussion thread periodically.
Added Kyle Costigan to the Offered List.
6'5 265 would like to play defensive line in college but the BCS schools see him as more of an offensive lineman.
I know other years some people have complained that we are not recruiting different areas. Well when I was looking at the offer and verbal list on the other thread we have offers out in NV, MN, WI, IL, IA, NE and i believe we offered the kid from Wahpeton so we could add ND and we have a verbal from SD. 8 different states!!!!!
We seem to have about 8 states most years but this year we have them fairly early and no TX or CA yet.
I am more concerned that there will be some quality QB's on the offered and verbal list.
Really? I'm shocked that you'd say that SD.:D :DQuote:

New QB to add to interest list.
Billy VandeMerkt, 5-11, 170, Riverside (Brookfield), IL, QB http://edgytim.rivals.com/viewprospe...1&pr_key=99577
Funny maybe to some of you. What I am shocked by is how many fans, teammakers and alumni are happy to stick their heads in the sand and ignore a glaring problem with the Bison football team. The lack of a viable number of QB's on the roster, the apparent difficulty getting recruits to sign and the related performance issues on the field. Coach Bohl saying they made a mistake doesn't help this year and next. Looking at the recruiting list for 2010 there is some interest, but not much for QB offers yet. Still don't have an answer for why getting top notch FCS QB's to NDSU is such a problem.Quote:

The opinion of a banker, rancher, Dr. or whatever are welcome, but it is his butt (Bohl) on the line.
Next time you have something come up in your business world, give one of the coaches a call, they mave an opinion or suggestion for you.
Maybe some of us recognize the QB issue but don't feel the need to post about it 1000 times.Quote:

And there still seems to be no urgency to offer QB's. Just keep making excuses for Bohl and saying everything is going to be OK. Fool yourselves.Quote:

You can do these things as many times as you would like for as long as you like but you can only post a negative comment one time if that. Anymore than that and you are posting it to frequently.
Now I don't agree or disagree with you but I am not going to jump down your throat cause of what you post. I'll just leave that to everyone else. I do think that the lack or recruiting a qb is and has been a problem as well and I don't know how many more seasons I can just say wait til next year.
One, most schools do this.Quote:

- Jackson is a prime example as to why recruting a QB just for the sake for having a QB on the roster isn't good enough, he even lost the #2 spot.
- The 2009 season, had Mohler not had his problems with the law we would've had a senior, a RFR, and a true FR at the QB position. Not ideal, but not as dire as the situation was prior to the signing of Perez.
You can never have enough depth at any position, especially the all important one, but we really did run into a bunch of bad luck there the last two seasons.
Parsons and Brekke were not viable options to start on a high caliber FCS team. Didn't Brekke transfer to DII or DIII and not ever play much there?Quote:

Originally Posted by SDbison

Honestly, I thought Brecke had as good a spring game as Mertens did in 2008, and if I'm not mistaken he had a broken finger on his throwing hand.Quote:
