Wow - that would be one of the earliest (if not the earliest) commitment I can remember other than a local recruit who had intentions of playing for the Sioux all along.
If it is a kid from the Cities, it may be one of these that have been offered:
RB Andrew Larson, 5'11, 195, 4.5, Eden Prairie (Eden Prairie), MN Has offer from SDSU
TE Taj Rich, 6'2, 215, Robbinsdale (Cooper), MN
DE Brett Pierce, 6'6, 250, Richfield (Holy Angels), MN Has offer from USD
DT Jonathan Harden, 6', 300, St. Paul (Cretin-Derham-Hall), MN (Rivals 2 Star, Scout 2 Star) Has offers from E MI & W MI
Ath Duke Anyanuwu, 6'4, 200, Blaine (Blaine), MN Has offer from Air Force
Ath DJ Hebert, 6'2, 185, 4.6, Osseo (Osseo), MN Has offers from USD, SDSU & UNI
We have some level of interest in another 15-16 prospects from the Cities.
Whoever it is, it would be nice to get a commitment this early. It is good to land the kid but it may also get the attention of other recruits when someone makes a decision to attend UND this early - it sends a good message.
