He told me this afternoon that NDSU wants him to play linebacker. He's 6-1, 200 pounds and was a KARE 11 All-Metro selection at safety.

• Moved Carlton Littlejohn from Offer to Verbal!

This looks to be a great class. But as we all have learned, all that glitters is not gold. Here is hoping we can redshirt this whole class, and let them develop physically and mentally.

"On Paper" and "On the Field" are not the same thing.


Great job by our staff!!!

[Mr. Burgundy]

I was told (prior to signing Vraa, Allen, Littlejohn and Grant Olson, that we had a very good class. The last few scholarships would determine if the class would go from good to great (and yes, we have all discussed that we determine this in 3 years from now). I was told that if we could land Grant Olson, LIttlejohn and Vraa from Minnesota, and take a stab at a couple kids down south, we would be THRILLED.

Well, about a week later.....everytime I pull up the 'Ville I get excited. I don't even know what else to wish for. Congrats to the staff (short handed) for pulling in this incredible group of young men. I also want to state that it would appear we are attracting a good student/athlete in this group.

GO BISON

I think we still need a corner. Here's hoping Mr. Jackson makes a good decision this weekend. He sounds like a good one.

AND WHERE'S THE KICKER!!!

(Other than that...I am loving this class.)

I like all the LB's. I was wondering if Littlejohn was going to play something other than safety. The LB spot makes sense. Several of those guys will likely play next year ...Juco's and true freshman. That's OK because we only had one LB last year and he didn't redshirt, so we effectively needed linebackers for last year and this year. Great news!

If you can't see him, you aren't trying hard enough.

If you can't see him, you aren't trying hard enough.

So THAT'S what they meant about the whole 273 thing!

[Fightin' Bison]

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

Kind of a detail, but NDSU didn't get anybody yet. These are all verbal commitments which can be withdrawn and changed at will. The best of these recruits will continue to be contacted by other schools in hopes of a change of mind. Count your chickens on Signing Day.

While randomly deciding to search ESPN's recruiting pages for any NDSU commits (and finding like three) I searched "Thornton" and came across a recruit named "Sir Gregory Thornton." Random? Perhaps. Awesome? You betcha.

[DjKyRo]

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.

Imagine how crazy this would've sounded three months ago....
