Re: 2017 Recruiting Updates
Ya, I'm sure he would celebrate with cartwheels if the Bison flipped a Gopher recruit

It's crap and for that reason alone I will not be renewing. FTS.
Wanting Klieman is complimentary and doesn't bother me so much, but I empathize with your overall gist.
Re: 2017 Recruiting Updates
geezus herdbot. shut up. seriously. scout has given us so mucb information on ndsu recruit its not even funny.
gophers will be going after 3-4 star recruits from here on out.
id say maybe 1 or 2 a year MAYBE is a conflict between Minnesota & NDSU
get a grip.
Re: 2017 Recruiting Updates
Malik Lofton Hopkins. Just watch this 1st play https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/maple/189007 He takes a screen, gets wrapped up by 4-5 maple grove tacklers and breaks it for a touchdown.
NDSU isn't on his offer sheet on rivals anymore, which if true is a travesty. This kid should be a slamdunk with Marcus Williams as a prototype Hopkins kid!!

Good luck. I called tons of times to try to cancel my subscription and their office wasn't open when they said they would be, it probably took me 5-10 calls to get an answer at their call center. They should just be respectable and let you cancel online.

Question for Bison fans: do you think Burns has a conflict of interest?
There is absolutely no conflict of interest for me. I'm in charge of running two businesses. One for Minnesota and one for North Dakota State.

The quality of the content has declined after he got subscribers. John Neis does a great job and he does it for free without feeding inside info.
Edit. I've got 5 positive reps in about 5 minutes after posting this
I'm sorry you feel that way.
I've thought highly of Gindorff's abilities since I saw him live in March, and thought he was a high ceiling kid. Just meant that as a compliment for NDSU fans, but apparently it wasn't taken that way.

That recruit committed on Thursday, and told me he didn't want it out there on social media because he wants to announce on his own. So I didn't talk about until Jay mentioned it on the BisonReport.

LOL when both businesses are in the same business that is the definition of COI.

Uh huh. Ok, so if possible, answer honestly: Would you be personally glad to see any current NDSU verbals flipped to the Gophers?
