2010 Recruiting

[SDbison]

According to Stu (worst reporter ever) NDSU is the "Evil Empire". Hey Stu you look like crap all the time. How about you clean up your look and your act.......then you might have a chance of someone considering you to be a professional. Excerpt from Stu's blog:

So the state of South Dakota loses another bright athlete to the evil empire up north, in the name of seeking football glory. Let's just hope he has a chance to experience beating SDSU during his time of eligibility, because those wins haven't been piling up of late.

OK I don't care if it is a SDSU, NDSU or Minnesota recruit but for a writer to take shots at the kid for his choice and then also take pot shots at the father. Maybe Stu needs to spend some time in Finishing School. I see why the Jackrabbits even disown him on their board.

Stay Classy Stu, Stay Classy.

I am so tired of TV and Stu comparing recruits to NDSU. Hallstrom doesn't do it when we get a kid. We don't constantly talk about how "faith" is a part of a decision. Simply, he chose NDSU. PERIOD.

Go back and read what Hallstrom wrote about Dudzik and you will see comparisons with SDSU.
As far as mentioning the kid's faith, it's a straight quote. With each recruit Terry V tries to ask why they chose SDSU. These last two players decided to mention that they are men of faith and so is Coach Stig as one of their deciding factors. I don't believe that Terry V is going out of his way to report that fact, it's just listed as one of the reasons same as location or facilities.
The coaching staff is typically given as a reason, but these two players are first I've seen who have said that their faith was a deciding factor.

Guess Stigs players will need lots of faith when the flash in the pan bunnies return to their mediocre / losing ways.

SDSU will be good enough to challenge for the MVC title and a playoff spot for at least the next 3 years.

Maybe from your overly optomistic perspective homer......

Was there some sort of "dead period" for recruiting recently? It seems like there has been a little less recruiting news out there and a "dead period" was discussed when Kiffin left for USC. I wasn't sure what that referred to.

Can't wait for signing day!

yeah, NDSU basically has their entire class verbally committed for several weeks now. We have maybe a few unknowns left. Some coaches in the Missouri Valley are just getting off their Lazyboys to hit the recruiting trail. Coach Bohl just happens to take a more proactive approach.

When it was mentioned through Argus Leader Media (first by myself, then by Terry Vandrovec) that Gebhart was still listening to offers despite his verbal commitment, some of the more brilliant members of Bison Nation jumped to the conclusion that South Dakota State was positioning itself to lure Gebhart, when no one had suggested that and the Jacks never made him an offer.

Did somebody give Stu a verbal lashing because of the rumor he started, while talking to USD's coach, about a recruit by name during the recruiting period?

He is probably getting info from his boy Meierkort, who claimed NDSU is a recruiting bully, and is no doubt sad that he couldn't pry Gebhart away.

Yep, I realize NDSU is almost finished (hoping for a kicker...), but this almost sounded like an official NCAA "dead period."
