2018 Recruiting Updates

Pike was the ultimate depth but he didn't make a huge impact until half way in year 2. (if he only had 1 year he wouldn't have done much at all) He also made the biggest play of the game vs Georgia Southern making a strip when they were going to score a TD

Impact is measured in a multitude of ways. Pike was great for NDSU.

Really an unfair question since we rarely take any transfer players. By the way King Frazier had the most carries in the 2015 title game 18 for 55 yards and a TD. He had 35% of the carries and 30% of the yards.

A lot of that had to do with that Carson guy running around like a pissed off bear.

Carson had 9 for 79 I believe.

King Frazier had 3 years though and by the national championship game that was his 31st game, plus spring ball. It's amazing how many reps he had. Most players play 33 games in 3 years!!

Fair enough. My point isn't to downplay players. It's just showing Juco players take a year to make an impact.

I think you still missed the point. A JUCO player can come in and make an immediate impact even if they're not seeing the field.

Jucos and transfer are different. Don't paint with a broad brush.

Tre wasn't JUCO

Tre wasn't JUCO

Even worse... 1 year of eligibility. If he was a juco I would have been more optimistic

Ok bud...so you are telling me, that if NDSU would have landed Tre (and we tried hard), you would have been disappointed.

Lets have a quick recap: Named team captain of a Big Ten team by his teammates. Graduated already from that school. Led the Big Ten in tackles one year already. Has a brother on our current team. Plays a position that we are currently trying to fill. Has a GREAT reputation. You are telling me that you wouldn't have had him? Please, you get a tall boy over our walk ons. This kid would have been a huge get for the program. Best of luck to him, as he sounds like a really great kid with a bright future in whatever he choses. Maryland got a good one!

Again, if he never played for the Gophers? I may agree with you...why should he be ahead of our guys? Low end big ten players aren't always better. This kid can play, and was a great person. WITH A BROTHER ON OUR ROSTER.
