2008 NDSU Recruits

[exdaryl3rd]

I'll have to check out Dan Offerman this fall, since I live all of a mile from Roseville HS. I like that we are getting some early commitments, but as always more would still be better.

As we get the names of students that NDSU may be recruiting, I'll add them to this list. I'd like a source for each one.

Thanks Tony for the link. Former BISON Wayne Schluchter is mentioned in the article. He helps out with the Tech Program. Wayne has an investment company in St. Cloud. I know he will steer kids to the Bison. He brings players up for summer camps at NDSU from Tech also.

Nope, I only found out about the story via the wonder of the interweb and news.google.com.

A new name for the list: Horicon (WI) QB, 6-foot-2, 195-pound junior QB Mike Michalovitz. Apparently NDSU was one of the first to start recruiting him.

BTW, Wissports.net does a fantastic job on tracking recruiting.

Wayne Schluchter is pretty well conected to NDSU as he is a member of the Bison Sports Hall Of Fame and is on the Executive Cimmittee of the NDSU Alumni Board Of Directors.

I got to see some of the St. Cloud Tech vs Sartell game last night. The kicker from Tech seemed quite impressive. He made 3 fairly mid-range to long field goals, came up short on a 54 yard attempt, all this in a game that appeared to have constant rainfall. The announcers thought that the Gophers should look at him. In the kicks that I saw, he had great height in the kicks. They were certainly not the type to be blocked, which seems rather important after last year's Gopher game. Is he on the Bison radar? Also saw Morris in the game -- he was impressive.
