2008 NDSU Recruits

[DORMIE]

Jarid Jackson has an uncle that lives in Fargo. I played golf with him last Saturday. His parents would like him to come to NSDU.

Here is ESPN.com's analysis of Jarid Jackson:

Jarid Jackson
ILB | 6'1" 219
Scouts Grade: 64
Evaluation: Jackson is a physical linebacker who should provide scheme versatility playing both the middle and outside positions. He possesses a solidly-built frame and utilizes it well filling at the point of attack. Displays toughness, effective hand technique and upper-body strength when employed on the line of scrimmage; he does a nice job stringing plays out to the sideline. We like this kid?s motor chasing sideline-to-sideline, and he delivers a good pop on contact when he closes in on ball carriers. Flashes potential in his coverage skill. Shows good route awareness and displays skill jamming and riding routes. While he is productive at the high school level, we have concerns about his speed and overall fluidity when projecting for Division 1 college. Currently lacks the sideline-to-sideline speed needed to chase down skilled ball carriers and the change-of-direction quickness needed to mirror them in space. Utilizes his raw strength in the lateral traffic, but lacks the athleticism needed to avoid cutoff blocks and the burst to hit the run seam inside out. Needs to polish up crossover steps in coverage and drop with more bend in his hips. Jackson might continue to physically develop and make the move down to defensive end. Should provide good special teams depth as well.

I wanted to walk up to Sam Maresh and tell him he looked good in that green Bison shirt that he was wearing at the game, but knew I better not.

A poster on the SDSU board believes that Tyrell Kool, a RB from Yankton, has verballed to the Bison.

Here's a scouting report: http://nebraska.scout.com/3/CampCountdown.html
"Kool is simply a wonderful athlete, with a great upside and two years to develop into the position he’ll play in college. That’s up in the air as he’s got the versatility to play a variety of skill positions on the field. If he can gain a couple of inches and hit that coveted 6 foot mark or even more, that ups his stock dramatically. He’s already a solid athlete, but with so much time to develop, he could be another gem in the state of South Dakota."

[QUOTE=tony;138174]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.

Class of 2009
Josh Campion, linemen, Fergus Falls. Level of Interest: hehe, no idea but the Gophers offered him and I'm pretty sure NDSU would love to have him. Source: Fergus Falls Journal

Same Campion as former Bison, Pete Campion?

We went to the game saturday and it was really cool to be down on the field when they turned the lights off and started pumping up the music. I have been there many times before for visits but never for a game. My old thoughts on the dome was that they play on the old style turf, its cramped and probably hot (which it was for the other visits) and small. But after this visit my vision of the dome is totally changed. The fans really get the excitement going before the game and they keep it up the whole game. I looked at my son while the music was jamming and the players were running on the field and he had a smile on his face, I could tell he really liked it. My view has totally changed and you the fans did it for me. I have been to the gophers games for unoficial visits and it is no where near as exciting, the recruits are ushered off the field before the players come out for the game so they dont get the game day feel that the bison provided for thier recruits. Great job by coach Bohl and staff, and you the fans.

The only thing I would say about this evaluation is that he was evaluated as an Inside Linebacker which he has never played up untill this season. he always played on the outside, usually head up on the TE.

Hey, someone needs to "take a look" at Aaron Langan at Thief River Falls, Minn. (Lincoln HS). Last Fri. he scored all 3 tds from his RB positon in a win over Duluth Central, 21 - 20. He's fast and strong, his dad is an awesome athlete too, play WR for und. See box score :

THIEF RIVER FALLS 21,

DULUTH CENTRAL 20

Aaron Langan scored three touchdowns, including sprints of a 75 and 47 yards, and the Prowlers continued their unbeaten season in winning the North Country Conference nightcap at PSS.

Langan had 167 yards on 11 carries, speeding away from the Central secondary on his long scoring runs, as second-ranked Thief River Falls (6-0, 5-0) took sole possession of the conference lead. He also scored on a 3-yard run and added a two-point conversion for a 20-point night.

Our scouts should check out Aaron Langan at Thief River Falls, Mn. Very fast and strong RB, could be a diamond in the rough and could play rb, lb or ss. His dad was a WR for und (dont hold that against him though). This kid scored all 3 tds in last fri. nites win at Duluth.
