NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

3 or 4 - almost all from outside, often way outside, the 494/694 ring. Seems incredible that anybody would criticize NDSU's recruiting but you must consider the source.
Debate topic: Resolved: NDSU should start recruiting based on a geographic quota system. Debating for the affirmative: Lakesbison Rebutting: Nobody because why bother?
All one can do is move this crap to its own thread rather than mess up one that is meant to serve as a permanent reference.

The recruiting process is not exact. Some of the "best" high school players do not pan out and then you get someone that comes out of nowhere and is a huge player. This goes just as well in the draft process as well. Tom Brady was not a 1st round pick but Ryan Leaf was. You have to trust in your coaches in all levels that their are able to see what the player is doing and able to improve on. Have them fit into your system and play nice with teammates. Not all players are fit for all systems. To bury your head in the sand and not look "outside" your area for players is foolish. Yes I will admit when a player comes from some distance there could be added issues like homesick, weather and culture shock. But I am sure the coaches ask all the right questions to these players. Bottom line is no matter where a player comes from if they truly want to be at the school they are at they will stay and do their best.

A top 10 Minnesota recruit that obviously doesn't want to be at NDSU and doesn't want to compete for playing time. Good luck to him, but good riddance....Give me guys that wanna work their tails off, no matter what recruiting rankings say. Give me Haeg, Schaetz, and Steidl who will put in some effort to earn a scholarship over a guy that is upset that he has competition at his position.
And the 8-10 from the cities is pretty dumb. I would rather have all the right players from places no one has heard of than take wrong ones just to have a presence in MSP.
