Article about Preston Evans out of SD. It also mentions the other early commitments we have received.

When recruits get inside that Dome for these first two games -- games that will be rockin' atmospheres, near sell-outs, both on TELEVISION (how many FCS schools can say they have their first two games on regional tv infront of millions) and coupled with our facilities ...

Awfully tough to turn down a place like NDSU and Fargo. All the amenities of a city, great campus atmosphere, good school, bigtime college fball atmosphere, and a program with guys being looked at by the league!? AND OUR INCREDIBLE FAN BASE?!! Who else at our level has that kind of infrastructure? The level of recruits we bring in will only get better. To quote the words of the great 70s band BTO -- You ain't seen nothing yet!!! I can't wait!!!

Only one week until tailgating!!!

[sambini]

Well said Swany and Welcome to Bisonville.

[Jdubs21]

just wondering if we have a list of guys we are offering or are interested in...would be nice to keep tabs on those kids to see how their JR and SR year of HS football is going....its fun to watch the kids develop in HS and transition their way to college
