SU's 15 is high but they: 1) are on a roll and 2) have a bunch of scholarship $ available. Frankly, I am surprised we have four verbals without a coaching staff until recently.
Just made a lot of updates to Wiki but have no idea if all of this is "old news" or not. There is supposed to be a JC OT viviting this weekend:
Jerhen Ertel, 6'6", 280, Bagdad (Glendale JC), AZ (2 Star - Scout) Has offers from GA St, IN St & S UT
I would have agreed with you that 5 or 6 wins were quite possible but finding DBs that can play (and play rather well) right away will be a challenge! As we have learned, you need to have some talent and depth back there and, as of today, we have neither.
SU will sure have some IL recruiting contacts:
North Dakota State: Mike McFeely reports that Chris Klieman is likely to name Tim Polasek (Northern Illinois) offensive coordinator and Matt Entz (Western Illinois) defensive coordinator and that Randy Hedberg (Southern Illinois) could be the new quarterbacks coach. We have not confirmed...
Very nice size and speed (6'1", 195, 4.4) but it is interesting that he was neither 1st or 2nd team all-conference - especially considering three other DBs from Eastern AZ JC did make the 2nd team.
Very interesting that he is visiting SIU this weekend. He has offers from SIU, Savannah St & NM St
I updated Wiki with quite a bit of new info yesterday but there really isn't anything going on other than prospects continuing to make decisions. For the most part, I could probably trash the current Wiki and start over with the activity of the new staff. I am sure much of what I have is no longer valid.
In my book, either way it is coaching. Players need to be taught how to play good defense and, if a player (or many players), chooses not to work hard on the defensive end of the court, they should be sitting at the end of the bench!!
Kyle “Bubba” Schweigert will be formally introduced as the 26th head coach in UND history at a press conference on Friday, Dec. 27 at 10 a.m. at the Alerus Center.

i fully agree but... it is a lot more of a challenge when our guys under the basket are 6'3" and theirs are 6'8"! We just don't have any size (height or strength). That said, I think the same statement could be made even if our bigger guys were healthy!
