I'm not usually a fan of kids signing that early but he definitely appears to have D1 athleticism and I like the coaching staffs commitment to keeping local D1 talent at NDSU. Hopefully he can hone his skills some more the next couple years of high school and then once the NDSU staff gets ahold of him can really help him step his game up like Dexter has. Can't coach athleticism that's for sure.
new recruit!
Zach Rammelt:Dom Izzo @DomIzzoWDAY 25m25 minutes ago Moorhead, MN
From @WisBBYearbook; Racine St. Catherine's (WI) Zach Rammelt, a 6'2 point guard will head to #NDSU
as a preferred walk-on this fall
http://jsonline.wissports.net/roster_players/6006091Physical, tough point guard with very good size and the ability to find open teammates. Earned first-team all-Metro Classic Conference honors as a senior when he averaged 11.4 ppg for a St. Catherine's team that went 20-5 and shared the league title with WIAA Division 4 state champion Dominican.
Rammelt was an honorable mention all-state player in Wisconsin.
Looks like Racine St Catherine's season ended when they lost to the aforementioned Dominican High School, 55-51.
Dominican was lead by Diamond Stone, 6' 10" Maryland recruit, who was the Wisconsin player of the year.
Dominican went on to their 4th consecutive state title.

I can comment on Rammelt as I have seen him and coached against him many times. He a strong, physical, mentally tough point guard. Great vocal leader and teammate.
St. Catherine's is a basketball school and one of the top programs in the Milwaukee area.
Rammelt will very likely NOT play much his first couple of years at NDSU but the scout team just got significantly better. He probably more physically ready to play than most of the incoming freshmen. If forced into duty he will not hurt the Bison either.
This is a really really nice get ... especially since he's a walk-on.
