I'd be disappointed as heck if Polasek and Co. didn't offer him (especially a "local" kid) Please don't pull an Entz and not offer......ala Bo Belquist.

Wunderlich was on Dom's show and said Polasek watched him work out and he'll be attending a junior day event at NDSU. Kid also said the Gophers were at his school to work him out.

You want to know why? Because if we offer, everyone and their mom is on the kid from day one. There are alot of politics in these things. Maybe even an under the radar offer. Kids get educated. Our offers are different. Oh....NDSU offered? Maybe we should get up there and work him out.....
All part of recruiting. Lot of examples of it going both ways.

Gone are the days of the first offer being important…

This is true. A coaching friend was telling me a story about a kid on his 7v7 team. He was from a small town in Northern Indiana and not in anyone's radar. This coach knew he was good so he was helping to promote him to schools. Iowa finally visited and offered. Within days, he suddenly had offers from several other D1 schools. He ended up at Notre Dame and was a 6th year senior captain on the defense last night. Jack Kizer. He may have ended up D2/D3 if that coach hadn't finally convinced Iowa to visit.

Lmfao so we aren't offering him to try to keep other schools away? Yeah right....
This kid is going to be getting plenty of attention whether NDSU offers him or not.

Agree with this. If PJ Fleck and Co. are in Casselton already, Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska, and Kleiman will be sniffing around soon regardless of what NDSU does; however, I trust Polasek's judgement.

I imagine we want to see him in person. Offers are earned.
On the flip side we could offer all the South Dakota kids, just to attract Nebraska or drive up the price of a scholarship
Although Jimmy Rogers is starting to do that. He just offered a SD 6-6 TE

If we haven't seen him in person yet somebody's not doing their job. He plays 20 minutes away ffs!

unfortunately NDSU admin/staff/whomever this is applicable to STILL HAS THAT SMALL TIME MENTALITY. NDSU SHOULD BE GETTING CONSISTENT OFFERS TO 3-4 STAR REGIONAL KIDS.
Of COURSE Local FARGO kids with FBS offers should be Priority #1 for NDSU and I know they are talking to this kid, so relax for a bit.
if NDSU was FBS right now (which it should FFS!) NDSU would be destroying Recruiting Regionally.
Wisc/Iowa/Minn is 1-2-3
NDSU would easily be 4th far and away.

Coach Polasek himself was out in Casselton two weeks ago and worked him out.

Terwilliger from Pierre?? Yeah...him and everyone else. He's already visited Alabama, Georgia, etc. You name it. This kid is not a secret. There's a lot of truth to Burgandy's statement, but with 7v7 and coaching networks...it only takes one offer and the vultures swarm (its not just in Fargo where that happens).

I reffed the Central Cass vs. Thompson football game this year. Polasek was there along with another coach. Was standing on the sideline away from the crowd. He was very visible to all in attendance. Ya'll need to chill out.
