Any chance we lose Jukem to Ball State? Didn't Perles recruit Jukem?

I really, really doubt it, it was mentioned in an article about Juckem that what the school had to offer in the classroom was a big part of his decision, I got the impression that he felt at home at NDSU and in Fargo. Just because a coach recruits a kid and moves on, doesn't mean that he is going to follow that coach everywhere he goes. Bohl had just as much to do with getting Juckem here as Perles did, probably more so.
If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.
I don't recall it being a rule not being able to not recruit verbals and everyone knows that a verbal committment means absolutely nothing. You can rip on Urban Meyer all you want but then you have to rip on every other coach out there because they are all doing the exact same thing.

To say a verbal means nothing is foolish, some athletes would sign months before signing day if they could. You make it sound like it is all the athletes who are in the wrong here for giving the verbal, what are they supposed to do if they love the school but are at risk of losing their scholarship if they wait too long?
