2009 Recruits

So where is Kolpack getting his information that Anders Lee is no longer on the radar and has decided to play hockey? I don't recall anyone here posting that he made that decision. Both Lee and Westendorp are the only 2 QB's that NDSU has offered to date so if true there is only one on the table now. Hopefully there is a talented JUCO or FBS transfer being worked on that we have not heard about (coach Bohl, please surprise us with an announcement of a great find like this). Again, if Lee is out of the running Westendorp is clearly the next best thing. After that I am concerned that NDSU will again be settling for less than hoped for......the addition of a couple more somewhat unknown QB's from Wisconsin as options sure makes it seem that way.
From Kolpack's Blog:
2. NDSU has five QB's on their radar (some, like Edina's Anders Lee would be on it, but have chosen to play other sports in college.)
3. I believe AJ Westendorp of Holland Christian in Michigan (6-2, 210) is their top choice. He does not have an FBS offer as of yet, but it's expected that he will before signing day. He is the only QB that I've been able to confirm that has a campus visit scheduled (as of a week or so ago). He will not be in Fargo until January 17th, though, so this position will likely come down to the proverbial wire.

Hmmm thats the same day as the ACDC concert, maybe they got him tickets to hear THUNDERSTRUCK live!!

No he's not a verbal. not yet.

I read on a Michigan pay site that a guy that sounded "in the know" that he was going to walk on at Western Michigan. OUCH. I doubt that is the case, but he will end up with a free education based on his grades/test scores. So it is possible. This kid is a difference maker.

Steve Hallstrom is reporting on his blog that Brent Jorgenson of De Pere, Wisconsin will most likely be offered during his visit in January. Reading between the lines, it sounds like Brent is NDSU's #2 choice after A.J. and both will be/have been offered. It also sounds like Brent will accept(no solid word on A.J.). SDSU, UND & USD were all interested, but cooled off after they learned NDSU was at the top of Brent's list.

Can they do that? What else is going on January 17. Is there a men's basketball game at the BSA?

I doubt they can, but its a hell of a nice selling tool to have them in town for a Major concert! I think the men are on the road for BB that day so don't know anything else going on

one good thing is when he enters the dome, he will hear THUNDERSTRUCK through an awesome soundsystem. instead of the shitty fargodome system that plays it before kickoffs.

From Marlin Lee's excellent column at wissports.net:

Division I-FCS North Dakota State University has invited Wausau West running back Derrick Lang (6-1, 206) to be a preferred walk-on.

“I will be taking an official visit in January,” Lang said.

Here's a little bit of film for Jorgensen. He's #7 in red/white.
