2010 Recruiting

[EndZoneQB]

I just think the ranking that was posted is bunk. Nice to look at, but doesn't mean anything. It's not like the person who made it broke down each recruit on each team, he just looked at Rivals and added up how many recruits and how many stars.

Thats 100% correct. Thats how rivals ranks classes, they average the "stars" and give points based on that.

Suprised UNI didn't make the list.

Rumors are swirling that Nick Rengel has left Minnesota and has contacted NDSU.

Man I just read that entire thread and WOW, some funny dudes over there as well

[Mr. Burgundy]

This would be amazing. We could use a stud like this kid. Big athlete. Had a batch of legit offers out of HS. I would love to finally get a transfer that works out!

[AEBison1998]

What position does he play?

Sounds like teh Gophs were shuffling him around a bit. When I did a search on him, he was listed as a WR, FB, and DE.

[AEBison1998]

Wow! Talk about an odd combination. Not too many DE/WR combo's out there.

I was guessing TE with his measureables.

I'm still hoping for another CB with the last couple scholarships. I think we're thin there in the last couple classes.

I think we need more than 1 per year. Although I suspect CB is one of the quickest positions for a Juco to be able to jump in and play. Maybe that is the plan. One young guy and one juco each year.

I think the Nick Rengel deal is interesting. He had a handful of offers, Minnesota, several MAC schools, and NDSU. NDSU is now looking at his tape after he contacted them, according to what one of the coaches told me.

So, Rengel was offered a scholarship by NDSU to be part of the 2009 class. I interpreted what I was told is that they are totally re-evaluating him, which I think is a good thing.

My impression, for what it is worth, is that they are evaluating him at the DE position because they feel flush at FB and TE right now. Some recent losses in the DL have probably made that prudent.

Good info and glad to hear it. I went back and read everything I could find yesterday about Rengel and watched some highlight video. He is fast and strong, but doesn't have much wiggle. The Gophers originally told him that they saw him as a "Dallas Clark type" TE or H-back. Sounds like he was working at FB recently. The Bison do seem pretty deep at those positions, and I was thinking to myself that he has the physical tools to be a good DE at the FCS level. If there is mutual interest, this could be a good fit!
