(DjKyRo compiled this list but it had to be split out from the main post because of a size limit.)

Finally incorporated all the recruiting updates.

As usual, this means that I've moved all the posts to the other Recruiting thread.

BTW: Thanks to everybody who posted updates (jarhead, hooliganbison, etc.)

[jarhead]

Hey Tony, thanks for cleaning up this thread. So, the changes so far are Bjorklund to Toledo, Coon to Wisconsin are verified and the
offer to Wentz and rescinding of Gandy's offer unverified.

According to MinnesotaPreps.com Alex Meier had his NDSU offer pulled and has since committed to Army

[lakesbison]

I heard that too, but this is first online confirm.
Face it, ndsu with their run, has gotten into some FBS kids radar, things like this are gonna happen more and more.

I believe the playoffs will help recruiting, granted we're young. Also I think our fan support on the road on tv will bring in some players. NDSU is a great program and we'll be known throughout very soon.

Yep, according to the article, Alex was kicked off his team after the second game and NDSU pulled his offer. His coaches still told Army that he'd be a good fit and they've offered. Hopefully he makes the most of this second chance.

[Hambone]

I'm not a twitter follower, but according to a reputable poster on SS (UND92,96), Travis Wilson from wissports.net tweeted that Sean Meehan has committed to UND.

[Bison Dan]

I'm not a twitter follower, but according to a reputable poster on SS (UND92,96), Travis Wilson from wissports.net tweeted that Sean Meehan has committed to UND.

I checked out the WI link and see UND as the only offer. Big boy 6-6 and 290. He got lots of interest from a few schools.

Cheched again and see WInet listed an offer from NDSU but hard to believe it was a full with MSU and some DIII schools looking at him.
