Ball State Connection

[blizzard]

Unfortunately, it appears Rivals is not up to date on Jacobs. If he was truly a "solid verbal" to the Bison, why would he have made a visit to Ball State on 1/25? The good news is he apparently hasn't changed his commitment, yet..

Don't worry about Hank Jacobs commitment to NDSU. You have a great head coach.

Thats good to hear Blizzard. You let us know when he committed so I take you with some cred. Glad to hear Hank will be a Bison.

That's great news! Thanks for the update, blizzard.

I can confirm this as well. I talked to Jacobs and he said he visited and was offered by Ball State...but said he is still a Bison.

Good, Good, Good, Good. Hey Marlins do you think you could tell Rivals.com that we got 2 more verbals, Nelson from MN and Ojuri from Illinois. I know you do a really good job of keep us up to date and I don't like to ask more of but that would be great. O and keep up the awsome work you do.

HOLLA!~!! CV!!!

bisonfb...

as a man personally, I will tell you that pat perles and his old man are great great people... good guys, knowledgable coaches.

perles is at ball state now, bottom line. he will succeed, and NDSU will succeed.

Ive talked to plenty of ndsu players and there's no "drama" or anything.. and PERLES isn't takin recruits from us... and players come to NDSU because we are NDSU, not who the coaches are.

That is correct Lakes..and we have so much more to offer than a lot of upper level team. We have great facilities, great city, fans...

And a chance at a great education!!!

Of course we have one of the best coaches in college football. That all makes a difference.

Marlins' website is: http://www.wissports.net/

I'm pretty sure that Wissports.net is a competitor of the rivals network, including wisconsinpreps.rivals.com.

Asking Marlins to help rivals keep their site up-to-date is akin to asking Steve Hallstrom of WDAY to give a scoop to KVLY.

Wissports.net is wisconsin based, it only focuses on Wisconsin. but I would assume your right about wisconsinpreps.rivals.com, I guess I never thought of that.

“I'm a Bison,” Jacobs said Tuesday confirming his commitment status.

Already holding scholarship offers from North Dakota State and Army, Jacobs received the Ball State offer thanks to the recent hire of former NDSU offensive coordinator Pat Perles as the offensive line coach at Ball State.

I don't care how nice Perles, or his dad are, reading that that irked me. Glad that Mr. Jacobs stayed with us, hope he'll be a winner.
