    Default Re: 2017 Recruiting Summary

    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.

    Quota system seriously. Were you drunk last night and posting? Would you perform your sales job on a geographical quota? Well already sold to 5 people in South Fargo, there is this really good lead but I better head out to Warroad to make a sale so I get out state Minnesota covered. Or would you rank your leads and work them top down????

    I think it's been a while since we've gotten a recruit from Vermont. Get off your lazy ass coaches and start recruiting the northeast!
    Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!

    We always load up on Minnesota kids and it's our #1 state, so I am greatly confused. Almost 30% of our roster is from Minnesota

    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Not sure if the coaches are worried about where a recruit went to school as much as the recruit is talented and is a fit for their system. NDSU's ability to find "hidden gems" is uncanny skill lacked by most programs.

    To be clear, El Chapo didn't create the actual title of the thread, calling for a quota system, correct? Was it was created by the admin to move this out of the standard recruiting thread? Are people ripping on him for the title? Or for the post about needing a stronger MN pipeline? Or just because it's El Chapo? (understandable) In this case, I actually agree with the sentiment of the continued importance of the MN pipeline, especially with U of M in a transition period with Claeys.
