Dakota schools lure Minnesota prep football stars

[jarhead]

It was pretty well known last year that there was going to be a fall-off in talent in Minnesota this year but would be strong in Wisconsin and Illinois. We offered 3
kids. Rucker went to Iowa, Stockwell to UND and Ziemer signed with us. Kill didn't offer many schollies to MN kids this year either. Minnesota will always be part
of Bison recruiting but there will be ebbs and flows in talent from year to year.

Was looking at the 2nd part to this article, this gives an idea of some of the Minnesota talent to be seen
in the future. Does seem like a down number so far. Interesting to see mention of Illinois State recruiting
in the metro area (DeLasalle in particular) on their video blog. Montana also dipped their toes in, getting verbal commit from TE - Noah Scarver 6' 3" 230 (Washburn HS) Minneapolis, MN.
Here is one name from the list I may go slog through ss to check on, was guessing it was a typo.....

Elijah Campbell, St. Paul Central: North Dakota State

anyone else surprised that ndsu only got 1 kid out of twin cities? hope thats not a trend, you were built on twin cities kids.

It was a down year for Twin Cities kids plus it was a very good year for Wisconsin recruits. I am sure the coaches saw this and acted accordingly. I hear that next year the Twin Cities should have some good talent again.

Another reason to load up on Minnesota talent... with reciprocity the dollars stretch further! More bang for the buck

I believe that fall semester, out of a total enrollment of 13K, there were approx. 6600 ND students and approx. 6100 MN students. Also, here is a link to Minnesota
class of 2014 propects. The list is still pretty limited, but many of the D1 prospects are already on here.
