2008 NDSU Recruits

[tony]

Updated the first page... now I must sleep.

[Mr. Burgundy]

Jordan Osborne, Safety from the Woodlands (Tx)
2 star on rivals had an offer from Army according to the site. Alot of interest from other schools. Army was the only listed offer.
6'0 185 with a 3.7 GPA. His stats showed only 4 games last year with 52 tackles and 2 interceptions.

According to my math, that is the third 2 star kid of this class. Pretty salty.

[Mr. Burgundy]

Brian Lawson. BIG KID. Was being recruited by Illinois, they even list the coach that was recruiting him, no offer.
6'2 256 Defensive End. Article lists him at 6'3.....He is VERY impressive based on this site. To get Illinois interested, you must be a stud. I love how many kids we are getting that are "borderline" big 10 kids. There are several.

Even though he'll end up being one of the more highly ranked players in Illinois this year, Lawson hasn't lost sight of the unique position he's in right now.


"I don't have any favorites right now. I get excited about every new letter I get. Each one is a surprise to me."


Lawson plans to camp with Western Michigan, Akron, and Illinois this summer. When speaking about the Illini, Lawson shows his cards a bit.


"I like Illinois a whole lot right now. They're still up there at the top of my list. If they were to offer then they'd definitely be my leader. I used to talk to the coaches there all the time, but I've slowed down some of that because I've been concentrating on school."

Finally, the last of the three tonight is the quarterback. He is listed on Rivals, but not much info on him. He is listed as 6'0 and 156. Hello Mr. Weightroom!!!! He is listed as a "Pro-Style Quarterback."

That is all I have, hope it helps.

The Forum lists him at 6-1, 185- Bison football team receives three verbal commitments, including one from California quarterback

[Flintstone]

Current Bison FR DT George Danilikowicz has a youger brother Rick Danilikowicz who is listed on one of the Illinois all state teams as an OL/DL with new recruit Brian Lawson. Wonder if the coaches have been in contact with him?

BisonNeil....what do you think? Do you like? Just kidding. Glad to get a quarterback for the future.

You can kid me, I can take it. And yes, I like it, very much.

I would like to know what his true size and weight is, though. McFeely has him as 6'1" and 185. I thought I heard Hallstrom say he was 6'1" and 175 (but he had specifics on DT on the screen the whole time he talked and I got distracted, could have said 185). But on the front page of this thread he is listed at 6' 160, which is a bit on the thin side, so I like McFeely and Hallstrom's size much better

Regardless, I am a happy man and opened the best bottle of wine in my cellar to celebrate!!!!!!!

[Gully]

16 kids....I think I remember hearing that we had 11-21 schollies to work with. Does that mean some of these are partials and/or walk ons? If I remember last year we had some "preferred walkons" announced on signing day.

Roster at high school lists him as 6'1" and 175. I prefer that to Rivals stats. Guess we'll see, but we have a QB!!!!
