2015 Verbal, D-line Bryan Carlton

[Professor Chaos]

It's probably just a numbers game if he has left the team. Darnell and Hubbs are also rFr and Steidl and Williams are Sophomores. Even Tanguay and Morgan are only Juniors. Might be a better situation for both sides if Carlton finds a place where he can see the field more and NDSU uses his scholarship on a spot they need to develop more depth at.

If this is true, another bummer...thought he was going to be a good one. Only a redshirt freshman not?

Thats how recruiting goes. He was a big signing at the time and was close to getting a Gophers offer... Then Darnell and walk on Caleb Butler and Aaron Steidl ends up cracking the 2 deep. Recruiting is a weird deal

I was incredibly excited about Bryan during recruiting. I write down my own personal recruiting notes for each player that has viewable film (HUDL) for the past few years and I have my own rating system for their potential. Just for personal use and to look back after a couple years to see how my ratings are panning out. Nerd alert.

Anyway, I had Bryan as All Conference potential. Essentially I have a 5 rank system (Bison Hall of Fame, All conference, Starter, Rotational/Depth, and No Film/Bench). I have NO experience with recruiting or film analysis. Just love football so take this all with an entire shaker of salt. Plus watching recruit videos gets me through the offseason!

Sad to see him go and I will just assume that my evaluation wasn't far off but everyone else on the DL just stepped up their game to pass him up!

Go Bison and good luck to Bryan.

Looks like he is done with football all together. Hope everything works out for the kid. Had alot of high expectations for him. https://twitter.com/BCarlton6/status/853347211278680065

Interesting tweet. Kind of sums up the life of a D1 player. Those that stay will be champions. Not for the faint of heart. Best of luck to the young man. More respect for the guys that stay for the duration everyday. Not quite what most people think.

Where was he and who is he talking about?

I believe he's still at NDSU, just not on the team. That's why I thought his comments were so interesting. Not much coaching turnover at NDSU, compared to most programs. That being said, puts a few words to the difficulty of staying put at D1 level. Not all roses and unicorns like many people envision

I was thinking the same thing. Did he transfer or is this in general? Some of what he said is opinion and subjective but 75% of his and the prior seasons players are still on the roster. (and that includes walk one) Almost every coach is still on the team as well. And as far as academics go... It's a huge priority and the proof is in the team academics are killing it.

Fixed your post. Not true in all cases but still true.

There's a commitment by the players that has to exist for academics and D1 sports to co-exist. Go home to ss.
