Going to start becoming the Jacksonville state of the north. Transfers!!!!!!
South Dakota Coyotes with their own Florida pipeline, signing 6 players (combined) in the 2 signing periods from that state (NDSU signed 4 Floridians).
https://www.midcosn.com/blog/2018/02...form=hootsuiteThe makeup of this group is quite different than the one the Coyotes signed in December. That list was loaded with interior players, specifically on the offensive and defensive lines.
This time the main focus was on the perimeter......
Despite winning the recruiting battle for PWO TE Ryan Mazurek with NDSU, the Coyotes still only had 4 Minnesota players in their 2018 class. Have been wondering if Coach Nielson, with his Minnesota Duluth connections, would get more & more of his recruits from Minnesota, but so far no.
Looks like USD is recruiting well. Took a 3* RB(Canaan Brooks, he looks legit) out of Missouri with an FBS offer, an OL from WI with an FBS and UNI offer, WR from Missouri with a Wyo offer. I still don't know how anyone recruits to Vermillion, but good for Nielson.

Southern Illinois, B- (includes 6 D1 transfers)
Illinois State, B- (impressive depth)
Western Illinois, C+ (new Head Coach retained most of class)
Eastern Illinois, D (only 1 in-State name)
I'll disagree with your conclusion. Are you aware of the number of assistant coaches who have announced they're leaving USD? Here's the list of departures (from the USD message board, goyotes.net):
Bill O'Boyle - OL
Tyler Yelk - Co-DC/Safties
Matt Middleton - WR
Coby Felts - Offensive Quality Control
John Litrenta - Defensive Quality Control
Zach Parrella - GA
Jevon Bowmen - Strength Coach
That's a lot of turnover in one year.
Go Jackrabbits!
