FCSRecruting Evaluates NDSU's 2011 class

[THEsocalledfan]

I just hope we can find the right QB and the right coach. Also, we seem to have a kid who played okay as a freshman, even if he still needs to improve.

I made a lot of dumb statements in this thread (I was still bitter about Eastern Wash. and worried about Vigen, and trying to give 4MCRUE a hard time), but I did get this one statement right.

Is there a thread like this for other classes?

Spot on for Wentz. IMO should have been a 4 year starter

Dunno, I can't argue with 5 consecutive national championships.

Plus, it kept him fresh for the NFL.

Time will tell for all of us, Neil. I have a friend in Phoenix who has seen Jones play several times, and he says Jones is a stud, and my friend played at NDSU, so you would think he has some FB knowledge. For Wentz to be rated so high when he has played QB for only one year makes me wonder how much credibility we can really give this entire ranking. QB's are normally developed over many, many years, oftentimes starting in grade school as you very well know. Again, just makes me wonder!!??

Yep, lots of different shit could've happened. Worked out about perfect...

When I watched the game film of Wentz....I thought to myself that this kid has all the tools to become a QB like we have never even come close to seeing at NDSU. I believe we got extremely lucky that he played only one season at QB, otherwise he would be on some Big 10 signing list right now. Is he a lock to be that good...no, but the upside and potential is there. Hell by the time he is a senior he will be 6'5" and probably 230 lbs and his arm strength is exceptional.....he can make all the throws and seems to be extremely accurate on the run. If we can put the skill players around him, I think he will leave NDSU will all the passing records. We have a lot of good young talent at the QB position, defenitely more than we have ever had and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out over the next four years. I do include Jensen in that young talent pool and believe he will improve greatly from last year. One thing is for sure that who ever is starting at the QB position in about three years is going to be a damn good QB, because he will be the one who came out of Jensen, Thorton, Wentz and Stanaford. We could also possibly add the kid out of DL on that list next year.

And the winner is.....THE HERD absolutely nailed it with this post.

Except the part about adding Joe Mollberg. Haha

I remember posting at the time after watching Carson's recruiting tape that it wouldn't be far fetched for him to challenge Brock for the starting quarterback position. Wished I knew how to go back in the archives too retrieve. At the time I remember Lakes saying that my statement might be "the most preposterous statement of the year" !

I gave him the benefit of the doubt for saying "probably" and assuming he hadn't seen film on him yet
