2009 Recruiting: Quick Reference

[56BISON73]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lakes does "mamby pamby" = "small town choir boy" ?[b]

Nope,

mamby pamby = bigger school kid that gets everything handed to him on a silver platter since 9th grade , is huge, then you watch him and go, hmmm not very aggressive.

Why would you think he has been handed everything just because he comes from a bigger school? Many times BIG kids have to be taught to be aggressive. Some big kigs just arent and never will be.

Anybody know anything about Andy Jirik?

http://hsminnesota.scout.com/a.z?s=3...=1&nid=4161085

Scout lists him as a prospect at DE, but no height and weight.

http://hsminnesota.scout.com/a.z?s=396&p=9&c=4&yr=2010

It lists him as being from Richfield, Cole Jirik came from Northfield. Related? Brothers, cousins?

Rivals does not list him on either the WDE or SDE.

He apparently played basketball at Holy Angels and is 6'5". http://www.maxpreps.com/minnesota/ba...th=,local,team

He was an Honorable Mention for All Conference in basketball.

He is listed as a tight end in football. http://www.minnesotasportsonline.com...&playerid=3714

There was also an All American NAIA wrestler at St. Cloud State in '79 by the same name. Possibly his father or uncle? http://www.stcloudstate.edu/athletic...ng/history.asp

Don't know if anybody seen or posted this yet

Sisseton quarterback Dustin Lotzer, the Gatorade player of the year in South Dakota, will walk on at SDSU this fall, according to Redmen coach Scott Hagen. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Lotzer set state 11-man records by throwing for 2,791 yards and 35 touchdowns - with nine in a single game - as a senior. He completed 148 of 218 attempts and also rushed for 602 yards with six scores.

Damn, that means SDSU will have 5 quality QB's and none with any legal issues. JK

I'm actually kind of surprised because early in the recruiting season he was getting looks from FBS schools but than he tore a ligament in his hand and it seemed all interest dropped off.

FYI Nick Mertens was the Gatorade Player of the year in MN and look what we have so you better hold off until you can prove they can play

[Mr. Burgundy]

SDSU has 13 quarterbacks that are better than ours. UGGH.

[JacksFan06]

Actually we really don't know what we're going to get out of any of our QB's because none of them really have any experience.

[JackJD]

That's true. We have at least four good prospects (Lotzer is the fifth but I assume he'll redshirt) but none are very tested. Some of the Bison faithful are tough on Mertens but he's experienced and that means a lot.

Experience does mean a lot, but in his case, his experience is throwing to your guys not ours.
