To give you an idea of where our offers were concentrated this year: heavy focus in the Chicago-land area + KS/MO.

The number of huge high schools in Chicago and it's suburbs is simply staggering.

Might have to fight a little harder in KC but I think up north we shouldn't have more competition from our previous coaches.

By my (iirc) count that includes 5 pwo’s, 6 if the K Crosa is also a pwo.
Of course some of them might be getting more scholly $
than most of us realize - I’m especially guessing Mostaert and Kuntz here.

But anyways I would not be surprised to learn NDSU saved a couple offers for the late signing period. People like CB Jermari Harris, WR Treyton Welch, RB Evan Hull might end up waiting for the late period in the hopes of a FBS offer. If NDSU has a scholly or 2 available, the Bison can benefit when not everyone who wants a FBS offer gets exactly what they want.
If such schollies go unfilled, NDSU can bank them for next year, perhaps help balance out recruiting class size a little it.

Also, each year there are good prospects waiting on their test results and grades to see if they can qualify for school admission. I suspect there is at least one Bison offer in that situation.

With all the coaching change, would guess most of Coach Entz’ (and staff)
focus has been on class maintenance. Another fun thing to watch for when the coaching staff is finalized is to see what recruiting strengths each new coach brings, and perhaps an athlete or 2 who immediately comes on board.

Another reason losing Riley would hurt.
