    Basically, he wanted to play at NDSU. He closed his recruiting after NDSU offered and told the other coaches/schools his recruitment is over.

    UND's coach is the one who is being unprofessional. He's the only one to whine on twitter. I don't think the money or offers from other schools mattered to Lincoln. If he got some sort of offer from NDSU, he was gonna take it.

    I was never recruited to play college sports, but I'd imagine it gets annoying hearing from all the coaches 24/7. I would be fun for a while, but eventually it would get old. Lincoln

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Here is what I gathered from the Bison Report in conjunction with the radio interview with Kolpack and Izzo: He loves NDSU and Fargo and thinks NDSU has the best fans out there. They're thinking of him in RB/FB combo role. Sounds like he and his family are over the moon about joining the team.

    A UND coach posting that on Twitter is so bush league. The kid knew what he wanted and you can't fault him for deciding early. Besides he grew up a Bison fan.

    If he received any type of scholarship it's understandable. I just thought it was early to accept a PWO. Congrats to him. Obviously his dream.

    Recruiting expert burgundy said it was a PWO. Much like you I think the timing is a little unique for a pwo.

    The kid showed commitment to the program. In doing so he could possibly work his way in to a better position if he kills it in camp. The bottom line is he wanted to be a Bison. Regardless of $$$$$$ and who offered it..

    +1. Evidence to support why so fathomable. A) Family are NDSU fans (B) Was 8-9 years old when NDSU rolled (Roehl-ed) up nearly 600 yards of offense against the Gophs (C) Focusing on another state title for his fb team (D) Surprisingly wears #40 as a power/speed combo 2-way player who thoroughly enjoys contact (E) going to Walk On University who just had a former WO selected in the 5th round of the NFL draft pick (F) 5-time defending FCS champs who beat their in-state rival by a large margin (G) 13-time National champion (H) QB was 2nd pick in the NFL draft (I) rapid fanbase (J) outside of UND was not being heavily recruited by D1 schools (K) team player who doesn't care where he plays (L) wants to win (M) wants to win (N) wants to win (O) Going to 9-man friendly coaching staff (P) wants to win
