2015 Biggest Recruiting Wins

[BisonNeil]

I hope the coaches can keep this class together. No question that on paper it looks terrific! Another 24 hrs to be nervous

In my opinion, the best part of this class is that a ton of these kids went to our camps, some for a few years. We know who they are, who their parents are, their coaches. THey have been committed for months if not years in some cases. Other than a Cali and Florida kid, we have a very regional class, we literally dominated our turf. Lots of hard work goes into these classes and these kids are a tight knit bunch. Regional domination. I cannot believe we got those three DT's from Minneapolis.

Is this the unofficial statement from the NDSU football program?

Great work, Sam's. I know this sounds a bit negative, but I would be interested in a "The Ones Who Got Away" post. Just curious about players who picked other schools, particularly if offered by NDSU (not PWO).

Seemed like last year we lost some recruits to ISUR, this year I haven't seen one that we wanted that has signed with them.

Great job as always, John.

On our drive back from Frisco our group chatted about the impact it may have had if we lost to ISUR. It felt like recruiting was pretty far along at that point but from recruits deciding between us and ISUR or even recruits needing that final straw to choose NDSU. Butterfly effect and all that.

It's good to be a Bison.

Hopefully it's ok that I ask this question here. It seems like we are constantly going up against Wyoming, which makes sense since the coaches have all the info on these kids. But I'm curious how many of this year's recruits are strictly Klieman's and not based on previous years?? I do understand that Coach K had to keep them here, but the initial contact was made by previous administration.

Kevin Jackson stood out to me. Mike Fairbarin's home town. What are the odds someone switches ala Gee Tucker?

Ingold flipped to Wisco, fyi.

Excellent, excellent post. Reps to you!

Sad to see we lost a couple to SDSU, but both Huron and Sioux Falls are just so close to Brookings. Have to admit I don't like only seeing 1 recruit from SD. Was SD just down this year? I'll enjoy reading the Argus tomorrow to see how many SDSU grabbed.

Makes sense, they've seen how bad their QB play and offered more to get Ingold
