2010: Recruiting Summary

I don't know how many people caught this Rivals ranking of recruiting classes. A few FCS teams made the list, NDSU has moved up to #126.

Interestingly, BVs best buddy from the Sports Network wrote an article about FCS recruiting, citing the Rivals ranking. He talked about all of the 'top' FCS schools on that list, except, wait for it, NDSU. He stopped just short of getting to the Bison

Go figure...

He just stated the top 5 FCS schools. Nothing wrong with that, except he must have forgotten that Eastern Washington is FCS and is rated above at least one of the schools he mentioned in his piece. Did you also want him to mention South Dakota and North Dakota who were right below us?? Top 5 is just fine with me.

That was probably Coulson's last article, he is done at Sports Network.

Like everything he ever wrote, he had to mention App State.

If we win 3 nat'l titles in a row and than lose in the semi's the next two years and beat Michigan in the Big House when they are ranked #5 in the country I bet we would get mentioned in every article as well. They had the most success of any program in FCS in the 2000's. They earned the recognition they get.

You do understand Coulson was App State's beat writer prior to coming to Sports Network? I understand having those connections and using them and that App was a great team. But he went a bit overboard at times, I remember he took a cheap shot at Bohl once, and some of his emails weren't exactly professional.

That considered he still wrote an article about FCS recruiting and mentioned the FCS school that according to rivals had one of the top classes. Don't really see the big deal.

Unfortunately, it's going to be impossible to find a completely unbiased writer for any level of football below FBS. Remember the NW Missouri lovefest that was D2football.com?

Mr. C is a complete tOOL. A tool with a capital OOL.

Is this list up to date? Seems we are missing a couple players?

Update on Gebhart from SF Washington. Was named MVP of "Dan Lennon track meet at USD. Won 3 relays. 51 400 in Medley relay. 22.8 in 4 x 200 relay and 52 in 4 x 400 relay and coasted in. This was an indoor meet.
