2015 Verbal James Hendricks

[LikeMothers]

NDSU's modest tuition has to be a factor in recruiting players in these partial / PWO situations.

Good article from the Forum tonight on Hendricks' decision to come to NDSU. Didn't realize his dad was the BHS football coach and AD.

Probably because the writer is from Bemidji...

His dad was also a pretty dang good running back at MSUM (Moorhead State back then) in the mid-80s.

Further, just how much can Duluth really give any one player? NSIC only allows a max of 28, well below the D2 max. Further, this article says Duluth is only doing 24.

So, in summary, I can't help but wonder if Duluth's offer was even a half ride? Doubt they do any fulls at all, and wonder if they do some quarters? Or stick with halfs and hope for good free players? Not sure how they do it; if anyone knows, chime in.

One of the bizarre things about FCS level and below recruiting...is that all of these kids say..."Just got offered." That could be like a penny. We have some kids on full rides, but not nearly what you would think...especially early in a career. Some kids are monster recruits. When we are up against an FBS offer, it is typically a full ride....but you would be shocked. Borderline walk on, get the kid here, and hope they improve, grind, get bigger, buy in...etc. When those things happen, and they earn their spot on the depth chart, we increase money. It is also why it is so important to have a guy like Joe Haeg become a superstar, because you can sell that. Levi Jordheim will be the next story. Pass up other schools money, take our walk on opportunity (in his case) and early your spot. So when kids say they got offered, it is awesome, but it doesn't mean they are on a full.

Don't know if this made the multitude of posts
on the multitude of threads, but QB James Hendricks
has the chance to pick up some valuable experience
traveling with the team,
same as Easton Stick did last season as a true freshman.

His absence (Carson Wentz) means redshirt freshman
Easton Stick will get his first start. Sophomore Cole Davis
moves to the No. 2 spot and true freshman James Hendricks
from Bemidji, Minn., will travel
to Indiana State as the No. 3 quarterback.

All hands on deck for the rest of the year. Everyone needs to man up.

And how awesome is it to have Veldman also. this gives coaches another QB to run scout team plays.
