Added Wesley Hudson to the verbal list and moved 60 posts to the main recruiting thread.

but you should have updated the count from 23 to 24

[SDbison]

Don't know if you are still updating the "Interest List", but Austin Sumner commited to SDSU a while back (if article not still available you can verify the info at sdsufans.com).

Not sure which thread this should go under with all the different recruiting threads, but Indiana State is putting together another nice recruiting class of skill players. I don't know what they are getting on the oline but they got verbals in the past couple days from a player many thought should have been Mr. Football, Shakir Bell. I saw him in the state finals game and he was unbelievable. He's small which is why he's going FCS but he was quick and played hard. He left the field limping several times only to come back and help lead his team to a state championship.

The QB on his team, Derek Hart, also verballed to FCS. He took a lot of heat during the season because he was more of a drop back QB in a system that usually has very athletic QBs. This school has sent several players to BCS schools the past few years. He didn't overly impress me with this accuracy but he is a coach's kid and big (6'4" I think) with some raw talent.

They also picked up a kid from Terre Haute who was the all-conference QB in the same conference. The conference has the 4 or 5 best teams in the state every year and the Terre Haute schools are typically at the bottom. I heard amazing things about this kid though.

They also picked up a transfer QB from U of Washington that is supposed to be good. The ISU coach had previously been with Ty Willingham so he has connections to UW.

Things are definitely looking up for the Sycamores. Curious to see if this coach can keep it together and make something of this team.

Star Tribune is saying that John-Crockett from Totino-Grace is going to NDSU, not sure what position but he has good speed and lots of vertical. There's just a little blurb in the Star Tribune about it.

If true that is a pretty good grab for SU. I saw him play - he's a running back and is very fast and athletic, with decent size. Although 4A is a step down from the big boys, this kid is definitely a nice player and easily was one of the best RBs in the metro.
