2009 Recruits

It was a few weeks ago when Boston College offered Juckem. I thought he would verbal to them right away.

So many things go into a decision like this that it's hard to say - the advantage NDSU has, I imagine, is that his relatives could see him play (not that the WI to Fargo road trip is a cake walk but it's doable).

Wisconsin has some very, very good H.S. football, at the bottom of the link posted about the O-Lineman from WI, it has a little thing on Juckem, states a 4.6 Forty, could be a very, very nice DE or TE. It would be big signing for NDSU.

Hope we get this kid.

I wish that they would come down here and look at some players. I don't think that it's a good idea for the Bison to recruit a ton of southern players...but they could find some speed down here...and players that get overlooked because they're in the USC/UCLA zone. I don't know of a DII program close by, and the closest FCS program is up north a ways...Cal Poly & Cal Davis.

Find Riverside east of LA...and look to the southeast of Riverside to what's called the Inland Empire. A lot of the better HS teams look like college teams, in size & quickness.

There has to be some diamonds in this huge 'rough.'

Maybe they already do.

Yeah, Juckem would be a great get - Vaadeland and Juckem would be a fantastic way to start the 2009 recruiting season.

No doubt about it, California is a huge area that needs to be hit during recruiting. I am sure they get out there, but I think for those players that have a huge big play ability, the speedsters, you have to hit the California's, Texas's, Florida's, and so on. The level of play in high school football in those states is so far above everywhere else in the country, and the talent that comes out of there shows it. The Longhorns never leave Texas, and look how they are doing. Those 3, I believe produce over 200 D1 recruits, per state, a year...compare that to MN which has what 15 is good year? There is a lot of talent in those states, just have to get them here.

Juckem is the type who wants to investigate each school, take his time and make all his official visits before he makes a decision. I don't blame him...it is a pretty big decision.

I was in Jefferson wisc over thanks. ( 20 miles from beaver dam ) heard the jacobs kids is REALLY interested in NDSU and is a complete stud, he was in the paper for all-area team, etc. seems like he could be a steal if we get him.

you can put Lee Anders Edina on that list.

Veramah Sonie (spelling) could be another kid.

[CaBisonFan]

Is the Anders Lee a real possibility...or a dream? Would he give up Harvard? Think that was the school.

[gotts]

I'll try to get on the inside track involving Christopherson from Osseo....

Please remember not to get too involved with this, especially contacting the kids. NDSU doesn't need any issues related to NDSU boosters contacting students or even being over-zealous in this whole process. The coaching staff has proven that they will get a good recruiting class and they really don't need any help in the process.
