Nice article on Evan Williams

A guy we should start looking at is junior Donte Smart out of Minot. He's a speedy RB and one of the better backs in the state. Reminds me of Mike Sigers. He had 117 yards on 8 carries, including a 65 yard td vs. Bismarck last night
Don't see this anywhere, but the Bison apparently have interest in Alex Hanks, 6'3" 200 pound QB/DB from St Cloud Tech. Being looked at for both football and basketball.

Farniok to Iowa State
sounds like a great player but why would a player like that commit to NDSU when we dont run the spread unless he isnt accomplished enough to run the spread at the D1 level. I suppose he could hand off the ball as well as Mertens. :banghead:Quote:

You can remove this post. When i looked earlier he was interested in NDSU. But now it shows we are not on his radar.
From now on, when I see a post in this thread I cringe that someone has changed their mind d/t our crappy season thus far. We are in the ball games, but 1-4 is 1-4.
Look back at the recruiting class Babich had after the 2-8 season!!
That's right! It is all about the chance to get on the field earlier and play for 3 or 4 years rather than 2.Quote:

You are very correct BisonNeil! You know these recruits look at depth charts and see what their chances are of playing right away, heck I know I looked at rosters and depth charts coming out of H.S.. Right now, if I was a in between FBS/FCS LB or DB, I would be loving my chance of coming in and playing right away.
Hallstrom is reporting that Tyler Gefroh(LB/RB) of GFRR has verbaled to the Bison.

coolio
.......
How good is he? Anyone here seen him play? It concerns me a bit that a handful of the verbals only had a scholarship offer from NDSU, but Gefroh sounds like solid player.Quote:

same here. sounds like 1/2 of our commits haven't received any other schollie offers. Not even from some D2 teams. Scary. We are either going to get alot of diamonds in the rough or we are going to bury our program with yet another less than stellar recruiting class.Quote:

Woohoo! Need more LBs.
Looks like we have offers out to a couple others who may be LBs in college: Max Busher (Rosemount, MN), Grant Olson (Plymouth/Wayzata), Eric Oertel (Wisconsin), Keorris Berry (Nevada), Chad Gilson (Iowa).
My guess is the majority of D2 schools are waiting to see what borderline FBS prospects drop to FCS, and then what FCS prospects drop to D2. I think it's a bit early for a lot of D2 offers.
I know that some of these sites aren't real quick at updating who has been offered by whom, so some of these kids could have more under their belts. I would be a bit worried about offering a kid from Cedar Falls, for example, when Northern Iowa hasn't offered or a kid in Normal, IL., and Ill. St. hasn't offered.
Yeah, I don't think a D2 offer is going to tell us much, plus, no non-BCS out-of-state school's recruiting budget extends to North Dakota.
Are there any particular recruits folks are worried about? To me, it looks like we took a chance on a couple (Michael Hardie might turn out to be great but we offered him earlier than any of the South Dakota schools and Don Carter is an unknown to us - not that we know much about the WI kids). As far as the ND recruits, I think the Bohl staff is batting around .900 with a couple home runs so I've got no qualms about Gefroh - he's got good size and great wheels.
Of course, for any recruiting class to pan out, there has to be better retention (players and coaches).
Zach Vraa update:
NDSU is his only offer and he camped here.
"I haven't gotten anymore offers," said Vraa. "Right now I am talking to a few new schools. The University of North Dakota, Winona State and I am still in contact with Northwestern and the Gophers. I just kind of talking to coaches and just getting to know them."
"Right now I am just basically looking at football colleges, but I am not saying no to any basketball colleges yet, because anything can still happen. Right now it is strictly football."
If the kids are camping at NDSU, I would be less concerned. They could be under the radar to the point that literally no one has seen them. If we actually get to see the kids work, talk to them about football(see their football IQ), we should be ok. Plus, it seems a lot of schools don't have a lot of offers out yet(see SDSU).
Doesn't sound like he's made up his mind, does it?Quote:

My understanding is SDSU is the exception-they only have a handful of offers out. Everyone else in the area is likely on their plan B or C recruits by now.Quote:

Another BS post - Every FBS or FCS team loves early commits, if the kid is what you want why wouldn't you go for it. Most of our early commits have been to our summer FB camp so the coaches know them well. Every FCS team will have depth issues if you lose enough players at that position. How would SDSU do if it lost it's 3 starting LB? Depth at that position?Quote:

Remember, it depends on the nature of the injury. If one of these linebackers sustains a moderate concussion in the first half of one of their games, (*cough, cough, '08 Bison game....cough, cough*) he'll certainly be back on the field after halftime. That tactic gives new meaning to the phrase......"Wow!...what a play! That kid is absolutely unconscious out there.:D :DQuote:

Yep, if Vraa had made up his mind, he'd be in the Verbal list not the Offer.Quote:

Sorry I was so late with those.
