Loved Ben Hecht's comment about his family is in Fargo now. A good beginning that will serve him well as a Bison, and also a tribute to the authenticity our coaches bring to their recruiting efforts.

I enjoy Brian's stuff, but he named what appear to be his top 4 and 2 of them only had NDSU offers. Maybe I am misunderstanding gem and top 3 after that.
To me the safest way to rank classes now is based on what teams they beat out to get a player. Safe to assume HVD and Hecht would have gotten other offers if they hadn't verballed so early.
Biggest gem Radunz
Other 3

FBS recruiting seems like a crap shoot and those are players that are high profile.
FCS recruiting has got to be even more impossible to figure out.

Kansas reporter think UNI got the best of Kansas state recruits. Also they got a TE 6'-8" and they got some DBs on the last day, Mikal, Nicolai on the last day...I was looking at their tapes, and it looks interesting, so their recruiting class is a bit of a head scratcher
" Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"
if you look at the rankings and then look at total players- that is telling. These services do not do FCS. The do not have 40% of players on other teams listed and only about 50% of total players are rated. # of recruits and getting everyone and ranking them is not done. If you look at the top recruits all of them are in the south- When was the last time any small school in ND had a 3* guy by the services? They are there but they don't get any attention unless they spend thousands to attend Rivals or scout camps to get rated.
To me at FCS you need 3-4 top top end guys at any position you can get and fill the rest of your ships with need positions. You have to then fill 10-15 spots each year with your PWO/WO who can earn scholarships and may well turn out to be studs in year 3-5 years. The more players you get in and can work with a few years the better chance some turn out to be great.
Was looking for info on the rest of the MVFC recruiting classes, and came across an article that mentioned UNI only having 8 total DB's on the roster before adding the 2016 class. Looked at their roster and it checked out; but I noticed while I was there that their current roster only has 71 players on it. Add in 26 announced recruits this year for 97 total going into next year. I believe NDSU has 90 currently when the senior class is removed, with 28 announced recruits to make 118.
21 more players is more than I would expect, and I was wondering if anyone had any reasons for the discrepancy. Football budget concerns? No walk-on program at UNI? Fewer partial scholarships at UNI? Horrible attrition rates?
