2008 NDSU Recruits

[tony]

The Bison are stretching into new recruiting areas...

RB Montez Hatten 5'7 178 Anderson, South Carolina (Westside HS)

Hatten is Westside's all-time leading rusher with over 5000 yards rushing and 54 touchdowns in his career. He may be short in stature but runs very hard and has great field vision. Hits the hole fast and has good breakaway speed. Gaudy numbers against AAAA competition should earn him a serious look from mid-major programs looking for a strong prospect who deserves much more attention. Highly underrated prospect.

Nice find! Rep for you and I'm updating the first page.

Yeah, I bet NDSU is recruiting Nichols and Seth Wisthoff, for example, but I don't have a link that says so or they'd be on the radar.

Oh yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if NDSU was talking to Wentz - what I wonder is if they have been talking to Esley Thorton, the sophomore QB from Bismarck High.

I say they should wait another year just to see how Thorton pans out

They should talk to him as soon as the NCAA says we can. This kid flat out plays. He's been fun to watch since middle school. Started as a freshman for BHS. Before he graduates he'll be getting a lot of looks.

Bison coaches visited Millard West (Omaha Football factory, 10-2 last year) Quarterback Jesse VerVelde on Thursday. 1900 pass yards, 19 TD's, 700+ yards rushing and another 10 yards. 6'0 185. Very talented kid. That is a BIG school, and I am almost sure he was a three year starter. I think he was the first team superstate quarterback....in a decent football state.

There's a smaller school QB in Nebraska I kind of hope they talk to too. Transferred from North Carolina or something. Unfortunately that's all I can remember.

I love the idea of a tall DB.

Another reported offer: Tim Sauer, OL, 6'8, 263, Rosemount, MN.

UNI offered too and Colorado just flew him out to visit. He plays basketball too.

If you can read the articles we've been linking to, I think you'll be impressed not only by what good athletes these guys are - it really sounds like NDSU is going after good, solid kids.

thanks tony for the info! sounds like he could put a lot of weight on him if he wanted to play on the O line...any possibility of DE seeing as he is an athlete?

I'm not 100% sure but I think he's related to Craig Sauer, who played for the Gophers and Vikings and is now the defensive coordinator of the FM Liberty football team. http://fargomoorheadliberty.com/coaches.html Hopefully he can persuade him to come here!
