Surf's up! Burgandy! SAN DIEGO QB!

[lakesbison]

SD BISON... actually we are more happy that we can use all these movie references for him.

Im not GIDDY or CRAZY about him or his stats.. he's a RECRUIT!

3-4 years TOPS before he touches the starting snap if he does.

You're right, NDSU should be getting FBS transfer's left and right for QB's, think of all the STUD QB's at Big Ten, Big 12 schools, that are 3rd,4th on depth chart and will never play, THOSE are the kids that NDSU should have falling on their laps.. .and I think you agree with that!!


but JOSE can you see is here, so hopefully he gets 15-20 pounds on him, stays fast and shifty and improves arm strength so in 2010, he can be 6'2" 205 and a STAR!!!

Stay Classy SD BISON!

excellent news. I'm away for a couple days only to come back and see NDSU lands 3 solid guys. I'm really glad we got QB recruit. Get him a year to redshirt and work with NDSU's strength and conditioning coaches and his physical stats should look pretty impressive.

Where is a 6'3" or 6'4" talented QB that a program like NDSU should attract?

Going to mid level FBS programs and BCS conference teams.

I wouldn't hold much weight in his stats, he's probably playing against defenses that have a few big time 3-4+ star recruiting prospects, and he was a part of a very young offense this last year.

Besides, talent isn't even half the battle in developing a kid. Coaching and work ethic play a major role as well in how they turn out, and it sounds like he has the best of both worlds with that.

Recruiting "talent" is overrated. Look at programs like KU, and Missouri, and Miami, and even Nebraska(Sorry Bisonhusker-thank Callahan for that one), or even ND.

[bisonhusker]

no worries Silk, Bo Pelini will have the Huskers back on track this year. They will play with passion or not play. Period. Or he will dress up and play. Love the energy.

I believe there is a QB from Minnesota that has interest in NDSU as well. I have no idea if the bison want him but he has NDSU in this top 3 schools. His numbers didn't look to impressive though. I think his name is Jon Lynch. He is a big kid at 6'4 185. Anybody know anything more about this kid?

He is from St Louis Park I think. I know he listed NDSU as a school he was interested in. A preferred walk on I think, but that is okay by me. Bring on the competition!

[OldBison]

You can call me angry, but I do believe I make some valid points. If this QB is the best NDSU can recruit then the Bison are in for some difficult years ahead.

Okay, but where the hell were you when BisonNeil and a few others like us were taking this staff to task for no QB recruits for the past 2 yrs and only one solid recruit (Mertens) in the past 4 yrs and 356+ days?

Ahhh, can you say "no show". Your silence was deafening and could be interpreted as a "homer" stance.

I had several posts during the past few months where I pointed out the lack of a QB recruit. I also commented on the need for a transfer D-lineman who could make an impact right away. I just haven't posted for a few weeks (due to some post buddies here who post the same crap over and over and jump all over those who have a justified differing opinion).

I hear you. Unless you wear, what are they were called? Oh yeah, rose-colored glasses and march rank and file behind Bohl and his staff, you are labelled a traitor on this site. Some posters are braver than others, obviously. So, I understand and your views are duely noted.

It would appear that there are a few of us than that agree the Bison are potentially troubled by the lack of big time QB recruits while all other positions are relatively deep. If Mertens gets hurt this year and the season goes down the tubes as a result, there may be a few people taking off their glasses so they can see more clearly

I think Parsons is a decent backup, if needed. No matter who the starting quarterback is, an injury is always a problem.

[TransAmBison]

You guys are funny. I don't know you personally OldBison, but I know SDBison is one tough cookie and should be able to handle some good-natured banter. As for Bohl, it is hard to argue with his success. As for the quarterback position, I have always been apprehensive about the void left after Walker's departure. I hope Mertens can lead us to the promised land, but I am not sold on him yet. I would love to see a few quarterbacks signed, but I am excited about this California qb. Bohl has been a good judge of talent thus far so I would expect good things from him, as long as he doesn't freeze to death by early October! The big, tall qb SDBison is looking for is going to be hard to find at our level. I would expect it will take a few playoff runs before we have a chance at a guy like that.
