I see where Godson Rufus-Okomhanru is participating in the Minnesota State Track Meet. Anyone pick up on his progress? I believe he’s in the 200, plus perhaps other events.

Can’t they just automate that?
Everyone starts at 0 stars
1 DI offer you go to 1 star
NDSU offers, 2 star
Low P4 offer, 3 star
High P4 offer, 4 stars

Maple Grove captured the 6A state football title in November at U.S. Bank Stadium.
There’s a good reason why. The Crimson had seven(!!) Division 1 recruits on the team.
The latest is Brayden Dozier, who’s coming to #NDSU.

Iowa extends a preferred walk-on opportunity to 2026 ATH out of Waukee NW, Isaiah Oliver. He’s the son of former Iowa MBB guard, Dean Oliver.
Heard from a source this spring that Isaiah is one of the most underrated prospects in the state: “He could really be something.”
NDSU offered Isaiah Oliver in March.

Interesting…
I saw AJ Blazek’s name connected to the Wisconsin PWO news, immediately thought of Wyatt Graffin as an OL. That would be good size for a DL, perhaps they are giving Graffin a different choice?
The Bison coaches have continued to offer DL’s, so it would tie in with that

When you have to fill 65 spots, you have a ton of scholarships available and the promise of seeing the field. The turnover is a short term problem but theg will be really good down the road. But then they will suddenly lose a huge class. Tough to balance

With the portal this stuff will balance itself out over 4-5 years. Balancing classes is not as important as it used to be 5 years ago.

A quick look at the rosters and their class breakdown doesn't look all that different from ours. Looks like they did a pretty good job of keeping the classes somewhat balanced.
