[Civil06]

Interesting that he was wearing a Sioux t-shirt during that interview, but nothing was mentioned about them.

I'm sure this kid is a good player, but the Bison already have commitments from FIVE potential defensive ends: Vaadeland, Drevlow, Jirik, Juckem, and Perry. How 'bout a QB, WR, or CB?

I don't think you can have too many potential D-Lineman in a class...if you can get pressure on the QB and control the line with a group of studs on the D-Line, you are going to have lots of success. These 6'4" and 6'5" 240 to 250 Lbs. recruits have lots of room to grow as well, take a kid who is 6'5" and 250 his senior year of high school and he can grow into a 6'5" 280 Lbs. D-Tackle who can move like your D-Ends.

I am sure lots of the skill position guys on the radar are still waiting to see if that "Big Offer" will come, its pretty clear that the coaching staff is going after some potential FBS players in this class, and they are still probably waiting to see if that "Big Offer" will come before signing day, skill positions are usually the last to come. So far, this class is looking very good, and I just have a feeling there will be a few flat out, stud playmakers in this class.

I agree that some of these guys may end up at DT before it is all said and done, but one other thing is that I would be real surprised if one or maybe two of these guys do not redshirt. So really, you can think of it as two classes in one.

You can never have too many defensive lineman. Most teams are an injury away from being screwed.

Hoping AJ LOVES Fargo today. That would really help out at QB for years to come. Skill position players are always the last to sign. (At this level). They are waiting for the big boy offer....if they don't come....we get them.

My main recruiting push toward a QB would be this. "Have you seen our defense of the future? Can you score 14 points a game? We will win. Oh, and we have fantastic facilities, a great school, a great city and are playoff eligible. You may enjoy our sellout crowds too. Bring your parents to the tailgate."

any word on how it went????

Hallstrom has a blog entry about it... let's just say that the Magic 8-Ball is saying "Outlook not so good."

Can someone tell where to find the blogs on the new Forum site? Since they changed formats I'm completely lost. Talk about taking a step backwards.

Huh, I was just thinking about how much I like the look of the site (especially once the bugs are worked out).

The blogs are in the middle column on the main page under a large heading that says "Areavoices Blogs". The most recently updated blogs are shown just below, or you can click on the heading for access to all of them.

Just read hallstrom's blog and ya know what, if he doesn't want to come here and be a Bison then who cares. If he wanted to come here for sure and like what we had to offer he would have committed. He may have had amazing stats coming out of high school, but so did Mertens (and we all know how that turned out last year). I say we get a kid who wants to be a Bison and will work his ass off to make the team better. If his heart isn't all here, I don't think he will give it his all. I remember reading something that Jose Moehler said along the lines of "football is everthing up there(North Dakota) and everybody goes to the games, thats where I want to play", something like that and that is the kind of kid I want to come and play football here. Not somebody who will be here second guessing his decision every day he is here.
