2010 Recruiting

[tony]

I was looking at the gopher hole this morning and was looking at their Quick Chat section for football recruiting. There was a Quick Chat with Collin Giles ( May 8, 2009) a 6'4" 285 pound LB/Center from Academy of Holy Angels, he mentioned one of the schools that peaked his interest was North Dakota State. I havn't seen him mentioned on the list of potential recruits. Am I missing something ? Has he commited somewhere else ? Just wondering.

Nope. That means it just means that it hadn't been reported to us before. I'll add him to the interest list.

Edit: I made a whole lot of additions to the interest list based on the posts here (posts which I've moved to the main recruiting thread).

Wayzata's middle linebacker Grant Olson.


In addition to working out and hanging out with teammates, Olson also spent some time at some of the top football schools in the area. He went to one day camps at Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota State and went to North Dakota's Academic Day where he spent time on campus with professors, coaches and players to get a feel for the university as a whole.

"They went really well," said Olson. "It got a little long sometimes. You get up driving all the way to North Dakota or Iowa and them sometimes you are just sitting there, but I had a good time. I met all the coaches so I was glad I went."

Once the season begins, Olson will continue to have the same cast of character's watching him closely. North Dakota, North Dakota State, Minnesota, Iowa, Buffalo and Army are all saying like Olson said "let's see how your senior season goes type of approach".

OLB Keorris Berry 5'10 220

3 tackles 1 sack 1 qbh

Playing against the spread, Berry didn't get a chance to make as many tackles in his three quarters of play but he showed the type of ability that makes him a potential special player on the next level.
Berry is a weapon off the edge and was very impressive as a pass rusher. He ran an electronic 4.62 40 as a sophomore but was limited this off-season with a hamstring injury but had run a 10.8 100m prior to the injury. Despite being 5'10, he is a player that uses his hands very well to shed and is very strong in the upper body. He also showed great lateral ability in coverage and has the ability to line up versus a wide receiver one-on-one.
Also a two star, Berry is a player that should be a standout this season and can be a star at the next level at outside linebacker on safety.

From Terry V's twitter, he's posting from the Sioux falls O'Gorman vs Roosevelt game:

"How much of a defensive struggle is this? Three players have been hurt in the last 6 plays. The latest: NDSU recruit Mike Hardie. #alsports"

Doesn't say anything about the severity of the injury.

Good stuff Tony. Thanks for the work on this.

Credit where credit is due: tcbisonfan and other posters did almost all the work.

Noticed today in the Star Tribune that Brandon Marquardt of Champlin Park is getting some interest from NDSU. He's 5'9" 195 pound running back who had 25 tds and 1500 yds rushing last year. Had a big game to open the season this year.
