It will be interesting to see if UND will beat NDSU this year in a battle. When both schools offer. Still has yet to happen, but I think at some point it will. SInce both are now D1.

"Conclusions: offer from NDSU confirmed....Just my take, here, but after talking to Dad, it sounds like NDSU has a pretty good chance here if things go well on the visit..."
I'm jacked for this kid, if he's even thinking about NDSU after the Visit he'll be on the roster!!!!!!!:nod:Quote:

Unsure if anyone posted this link but it is post game commentary after AJ Westendrop's Holland Christian won their division 4 state title this year - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NolB...eature=related
Some great comments as they focus on his performance in the state title game and compare him to other western Michigan (region, not the school) QB's.
Arm strength wasn't that impressive.......looked like a lot of air under most of his passes.....on the first throw a small receiver had to wait / come back to catch. He also doesn't look very fast or quick either. Also saw a pass thrown into coverage that was knocked down, a short dropped pass, a pass that was tipped by the reciever and intercepted or nearly intercepted. Saw a couple passes that looked average. Kind of reminds me of Mertens.Quote:

AJ is the real deal. I really hope NDSU can get this recruit. AJ looks twice as good as the supposed #2 kid from Wisconsin. My hope is NDSU can get AJ and possibly an athletic and proven capable JUCO or FBS transfer. That would be the best possible outcome. Would be interesting to see how Mertens would do with that kind of competition.Quote:

This all makes me curious about the WR recruiting, we've heard very little on that front. Any news on Derrick Engel?

I could be wrong but after watching tape on this kid I don't see how we could get him..
I agree he is head and shoulders better than the kid from Wisconsin. Still very hard to judge with the very limited video we have seen.
