I would like to see Arp, Lechler, OL, RB

Any speculation on who could be a surprise? Seems every year we get a couple kids that nobody really heard of....

Hopefully a RB

[westnodak93bison]

I'm not too worried about a RB. Apparently we have Ojuri, Lang, Jones and Crockett. I'd like to see a "change of pace" back like a Darren Sproles clone.

[Bison03]

The theory that playing into January and being behind every other school has apparently not hurt recruiting like some (Kolpack) thought it might. The coaches kept in contact with these recruits and I'm sure the "We would like to come out and talk to you but are busy preparing for a national title game" excuse was helpful. I expect this class will be solid. The epectations now are not to win our first fcs title like it has been. It is to maintain NDSU as a national power and bring home more titles. When every guy in the lockerroom but you and your fellow true freshman are the only ones not allowed in the champions room, that should motivate you.

[HerdBot]

Perfect finish would be Lechler. Want to see DE McMakin and LB Jacob Davis out of Kansas. Calvin Thomas and Timph out of Arizona. Thomas is visiting Washington Saturday. For corners I want either Brantley or Hughes. Walk in Arp and Larson. If you cant get McMakin or Thomas get the best available running back.

that would set our dline with Pierce, McMakin, Amaechi, Farnloff, and Thomas.
OL - Massive size with the 6-7 Lechler and Plankers plus Zack Johnson.
WR is over the top good with Warren, Gray, and Woods
LB- Stumph is a great get and Zach Riopelle has the speed. Jacob Davis is a big middle lb w speed. Timph is silid

overall that would be an amazing group. Another group of future national champions

This is where Sigers should have fit in.....

[herdmember]

Do we have one RB that can run, block, catch the screen out of the backfield, occasionally lineup at WR like McNorton? Can Crockett be that or is he too small?

[BisonNeil]

We definitely need a big time RB. Need a RB recruit every year. Until I see an official release from the athletic office that he is eligible, I am not counting my chickens before the eggs have hatched, unlike most of you.
