2010 Recruiting

[HHS]

Zac Epping committed to Minnesota.

Unsure, but it seems the early known offers to linemen is down to Lenkiewicz from Ill.

Not a big surprise, the stud linemen tend to get sorted out relatively early. The players the Bison have offered are committing to major conference schools so we know the coaches are going after high level talent at this stage. That's a good thing.

Hey Marlin, what is the percent chance that Costigan picks UND over those schools?

[Marlins]

Hey Marlin, what is the percent chance that Costigan picks UND over those schools?

Last I heard, all the schools were pretty much equal with Costigan wanting to visit them to get a better sense of what each school had to offer.

Hey Marlin, what is the percent chance that Costigan picks UND over those schools?

What is the percent chance that this was a rhetorical question?

Very good point. Plus it's smart to get in early and let these players know you are and will contine to be interested. All it takes is a coaching change or something else for a kid to change his mind. Or better yet, if the kid gets recuited over and wants a transfer, they will remember NDSU. Smart move by the coaches, but that is to be expected!!
