2010 Recruiting

[OldBison]

The list has 22 verbals, with Williams needing one that makes 23 for the year. I don't know how many have full vs partial but I think I remember Bohl telling Hallstrom they were looking at 23 "or so" recruits this year. I hope the "or so" includes a kicker

Kicker? Yes, please! I suspect that Bohl was NOT including Marcus Williams as one of the "23 or so" expected new recruits, but I could be wrong. There always seems to be room for one more "blue chipper." If a difference maker wants to be a Bison the staff will find a way to get it done.

Here's a kicker NDSU is looking at. #1 in his class, 4.0 GPA, runs a 4.5 40 and a 1:55 800 (get him on the track team ), played QB, and asked to walk-on to Nebraska as a kicker. Long FG of 43 and missed 1 of 35 XPs.

I suppose he could punt as well.

The list of players verbally committed to NDSU includes two athletes listed among the top 10 prospects in Minnesota by Rivals.com in their 2010 mid-season rankings. http://minnesotapreps.rivals.com/viewrank.asp

Billy Turner is at #8 and Grant Olson is #10. Is that any good? Well, I reviewed their final rankings for 2003-2009 in Minnesota. There is not one player on any of the final top 10 lists in Minnesota who originally committed to an FCS school!

What does that mean? Who knows? It could mean that there were fewer FBS players in Minnesota this year. It could mean that Turner and Olson will not be on the final top 10 list (Rivals rankings seem to put heavy weight on which schools offer players). Or it could mean that the Bison have landed a couple of mighty fine prospects. I'll take the latter!

Congratulations to the coaching staff.

I really don't want to get too caught up in how awesome this recruiting class appears to be, but damn. On paper, these guys look amazing. Let's hope they come together like we're expecting them too.

So who is most resounding "can't believe we got him to commit" of the class so far?

I'll tell you in a couple years.

true enough, hard to tell at this point. But on Paper I would have to say that Vraa is probably the "can't believe they got him to commit" in my mind.

[bisonhusker]

I will say it. BEST EVER. The strength of the LB's, OL, Safeties, and WR's are sick. Such a large and well rounded class.

Vraa didn't suprise me to much. He wanted to major in architecture and really didn't have a whole lot of schools recruiting him that offered that major. I would have been much more suprised if he didn't come here. I would say Grant Olson made me smile the most. Also, like the Hinz kid from NE. At the same time every year we say its the best class ever. I'll wait a couple years before annointing this class that title.
