Why are you changing the subject to MBB, because you realize you were wrong?

he's wrong cuz mohler's only played a couple games? he still has 3 years to play, maybe he pans out maybe he doesn't.

Just a reminder, when kids are on their campus visits, the coaches can't see them in action. No drills, no nothing. So, I really like our strategy of getting most of these kids up on campus in the summer for our camp. Sure get to know alot about a kid over a weekend camp. They get to interact with their position coach, the other players at camp, build a rapport. Again, I just don't see how anyone can spin what we have done this year as a negative. All Major D1 programs recruit this way. Why would a school wait for the last two weeks to do visits and make offers? Day late and a dollar short on a few kids. I don't argue with Stig's results. They work, but he did lose some regional recruits due to this change in philosophy.

I would like to point out that there is a difference between the way a major DI program (i.e. Florida, Alabama, USC, Ohio State, etc...) recruits compared to an FCS program, as 9 times out of 10 an FBS program will win out on a recruit over an FCS program. Therefore, many talented recruits who are receiving interest (not the same as an offer) from an FBS will hold off their commitment because they feel they might get an offer from their more coveted schools, when in reality they might have been that programs' 2nd/3rd/4th option at that particular position. Many of these kids won't find out till later in the process whether or not the FBS program(s) got the player(s) rank ahead of them in the recruiting depth chart, and if the kid becomes the odd man out, they start weighing their FCS options.

Personally, I like to see a mix of early recruits (especially local) and late recruits, therefore you can lock up the kids who appreciate the early interest but still have some scholarships available for the great talent that falls through the cracks of the FBS ranks.

From Sid's column, and he is close to the Grant's:

Taylor Grant, the outstanding Eden Prairie quarterback/tight end and son of Eagles coach Mike Grant, has accepted a scholarship from the University of North Dakota. The Gophers recruited Grant but wanted him to walk on as a freshman, then try to earn a scholarship.

Ughh....

Are we pretty much done as long as all verbals sign or is there room for a couple more players?

NDSU and SDSU has *interest* but I think he is our 3rd cb choice behind fred jackson/fred blow.

I think there is still room for a couple more. Atleast I hope so, say maybe a kicker! Has anybody seen anything on Fred Jackson since his visit or did I just miss it?

According to the Omaha World-Herald, NDSU has an offer out to Ron Coleman, a 5'11 250 lb RB/LB (did some research and apparently he runs a 4.8* 40 and rushed for 1300+ yards and lead Nebraska Class A in rushing.) He's also a two-time defending state wrestling champ. Seems like a good candidate for a fullback or linebacker.

The article doesn't give me enough confidence to put him on the recruiting summary yet - there are just too many cases of mistaken identity.
