So how many of our commitments year after year usually attend camp at NDSU? Like a percentage.

20 out of 26 last year or 76.9%

Is that normal?

Is that normal?

Yes. I've heard numerous times how they prefer to get kids into camp to see them compete before they offer them.

So, you recruiting gurus, is what NDSU is doing in FCS unique? How does the numbers and rankings of verbals compare to other schools? I always struggle with feeling like following recruiting is like living in a hole and never peering out to see what is going on elsewhere.

About the 5 minute mark, they kind of address this.

Great stuff! Glad to hear Mick Garry (USD Coyote beat writer)
believes in the "Joe Glenn Rule".
To paraphrase Garry's take - the Bison get to pick and choose who they
want amongst the borderline Big 10/Big 12/FBS recruits, while
South Dakota and the others wait.

The Coyotes have yet to get their first verbal for 2017.

On the other hand, SDSU has been busy, having at least 8 commits.
They also have a verbal from a 6' 4" high school QB from Florida.
Will be interesting to compare the 2 careers of Ethan Bullock (SDSU) and Holden Hotchkiss (NDSU) (if they both make it to campus).

I don't believe any of the Jackrabbit verbals had a NDSU offer, so no
head-to-head victories yet for the bunnies. IMO it appears, with the
new stadium, the Jacks felt frisky and have gone up against the Bison
(and others) more than they had in the past. It's still early, but NDSU
has definitely held their own in this battle (IMHO).
South Dakota also, IMO, has also seemed more aggressive going
head-to-head with NDSU. New Head Coach Bob Nielsen is in his first full recruiting season with the 'Yotes, was previously with Western Illinois (Minnesota-Duluth before that).

Thanks for the link, but what the heck is "dominance fatigue?"

It's what most opponents of the Bison experience in the 4th quarter.

Will that makes sense now why a SD station talks about it.
