2010 Recruiting

[KTF]

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 These are all verbal commitments which can be withdrawn and changed at will.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.

That's why I didn't say "can't believe we got him to SIGN"

This is complete BS. I pull up Bisonville and NO VERBALS TODAY? Are our short handed coaches even out there recruiting? This is embarrassing. Come on Bohl get out there. Beat the streets and find some kids. Signing day is only a month away.

For those of you inclined to take everything literally..

This one is for Sun Bison who is looking forward to some info on some Arizona kids.

Anyway, the best reporter in town will blog on this later today, but he did share with me that he has spoken to Michael Allen our recent verbal and found out that the AZ State Champ turned 17 in December, and had an offer from Montana as well.

He grew an inch and added 20 pounds in the last year and is still growing. I think this kid is going to be great. Add in that he will run behind one tough line....we will soon be called "Tailback U." Ha.

You have to asssume he redshirts based on his age, the fact that he is still growing and that we are deep at the position. However, after we graduate DJ and Voit, he will add a to a great cast of running backs. This is fun to project. Sounds like a bigtime "get" from a name nobody really had heard about. 2 stars on rivals and an offer from Montana.

Here is a good article on our future MLB Kyle Emmanuel. This is from February of 2009. Looks like we got a great student and a great athlete. Similar to the rest of this class...which is exciting.

SCHUYLER, Neb. - One linebacker from Schuyler (Neb.) Central, 2009 prospect Mitch Hron, plans to walk-on at Nebraska. Right behind him, is another linebacker prospect in the 2010 class to keep an eye on – Kyle Emanuel.

Emanuel, standing at 6-2, 215 pounds, has really been a rising star for his coach Fred Doscher over the last few years. Playing running back and linebacker, Doscher has plenty of praise for the senior-to-be. He rushed for 1,461 yards and 16 touchdowns as a running back in 2008. Defensively, he had big stats as well with 73 total tackles (53 unassisted), one sack, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery.



2010 linebacker prospect Kyle Emanuel had a big year last season with over 1,000 yards rushing and 73 tackles on defense.
"He's the real deal," Doscher said. "Running back-wise, we had a kid years ago named Justin Nelson who was a pretty darn good football payer – but Kyle might be the best back we've ever had. He just has the God-given talent. He's good at anything he does – basketball, football, baseball – has a 4.0 and is No. 1 in his class.

"With his strength, I think as a sophomore, his combination of bench, squat and dead lift was close to 1200 pounds. I think he's going to be the real deal at the next level."

Emanuel has showed his stuff to the school he grew up watching – Nebraska – at a camp in Lincoln this past summer.

"It kind of showed me how I stack up against other competition," Emanuel said. "During the camp, I would go against other juniors or juniors-to-be I should say. It showed me how I stood with the other guys.

"I'd love to play for Nebraska. I've been a fan for a long time, the Tunnel Walk…that'd be a dream come true for me. If I could go anywhere, that'd be where I go."

His coach, however, says that interest is coming from other schools than just the Huskers.

"I think Alabama and UCLA have asked for film on him," Doscher said. "So, I think he's going to be getting a lot more. Once some of those schools start asking, the others aren't too far behind."

That is the HS teammate of our Michael Allen. How was that backfield? No wonder they were the best team in Arizona and a top team in the nation. I hope he goes to Southern Illinois. Fun to follow them through the years.

Think any of these guys are gonna get snatched up by an FBS school? I'm feeling greedy and signing day can't come fast enough...

Honestly no I don't, they have the knowledge which schools are pursuing them and had weighed the options, as you can see just because a FBS offers it doesn't mean they get awestruck and commit. It comes down to Coaches, playing time, depth, position etc... not saying it can't happen but just think they are in tune to where they belong

I agree. Would I be suprised if we lost one or two? No I would not. A few of these guys sound boarder line to a few bigger schools and some articles mentioned them waiting for that big offer. If it comes as other schools recruiting shakes out some might take it, some might not but I think for the most part what we see is what we will be getting.
