The vast majority of our 19 offerees have picked up a bunch of offers over the last 10 days. They all have at least one offer with most having 5+. Six of the kids have 10 or more offers. This tells me that we are obviously recruiting some very talented prospects but the many offers will make our landing a couple of these kids very difficult. We should be elated if we do get any of them. Wiki has been updated.

My opinion: This being August, I wouldn't consider a commitment received now (or in the last few weeks) to be early. It is becoming more commonplace for a prospect to make his decision prior to the start of the HS season. At the FCS level, there aren't a great deal of kids changing their minds and going elsewhere (although it does happen). Most schools have seen a prospect at camp and on film so they have a good idea of their talent level. So if a school has "done its homework", I don't think there is much risk - other than the player having a serious injury during his senior season. Therefore, I think getting a bunch of commitments at this time of the year is great - I wish we had more than one. That said, we often compare ourselves to NDSU. They are on such a roll right now that recruiting is relatively easy for them - for good reason. I follow recruiting very closely and most FCS teams have commitments from very few players. When I looked at this a few days ago, the recruiting websites had SU with 10 but no one else (that we compare ourselves to) even had five (SDSU had 4). I am sure it isn't fact but Montana, MSU, USD didn't show any commitments yet. Wyoming only had three. Again, these services certianly don't provide 100% accurate info. Bottom line - I would love to have 10 or so commitments but only having one doesn't overly concern me. Bubba and has crew will bring in a very talented recruiting class.

I would guess that the roster currently posted on UNDsports.com includes all the players that were expected. We will see if it changes over the next couple of days. Any no-shows may also be mentioned in the Press Day coverage. I would think the roster will be updated with current weights as well. Some of the weights listed were from spring ball while some of the true freshmen weights were from their HS team a year ago.

What is his mother's maiden name?

Dixon has committed to MO St.

I appreciate your positive comment - one without any smack!

Do we know yet if everyone that was expected has shown up for fall camp? If anyone is out there watching the team over the next few weeks, please provide your thoughts.

Probably not going to happen for us, Wade has picked up offers from IA, WA St and TCU in the last few days!

SU is off to a great start - they have gotten some very talented kids thus far! Unfortunately, we wanted some of them!

92,96 - what can I use for the "source" of the Grady commitment on Wiki?

I would guess that means he won't be with the team - disappointing!

We welcome you to the board and your son to UND/Grand Forks. As others above have indicated, we are very pleased to have Jordan on the team and look forward to great things from him. Please continue to post!

All offers are conditional based upon the situation at the time when the player wants to make a commitment. After a commitment is accepted, and if there is no further need at the position, the other offers are normally withdrawn.

Brown has verballed to the Bison.

Another offer: PF Dean Wade, 6'8”, 215, Saint John (Saint John), KS (3 Star - Rivals) Has offers from Boise St, Evansville, KSU, OR St, USD, UTEP & Wichita St

Attendee at yesterdays' Elite Camp: WR Christian Phillips, 6’5”, 185, Winnipeg (Garden City Collegiate), MAN

UND's second (and last) Elite Camp is tomorrow. If anyone has access to the list of attendees, please post. If anyone attends, your observations would also be appreciated. I suppose this is due to NCAA regulations but I am surprised that we can't even provide lunch to the participants. Here is an overview (edit - not sure why it copied this way): Saturday July 26th 10am - OL/DL/Specialists Registration 10:30am - Stretch/Testing 11:30am - Position drills with UND coaches 12:30pm - 1 on 1 drills 1:00pm - Camp Closing 1:30pm - Skill players registration 2:00pm - Stretch/Testing 3:00pm - Position drills with UND coaches 4:00pm - 1 on 1 drills 4:30pm - Camp Closing Meals are on your own but there will be food/drink for purchase at Memorial Stadium Facilities The UND Football Camps will use a number of facilities across the beautiful University of North Dakota campus. Campers receive full use of Memorial Stadium, the turf field practice home to the UND football program, along with the Memorial Stadium weight room and meeting rooms. Camp Gear All campers should wear or bring appropriate training gear (T-shirt, shorts, socks, shoes/cleats, sunblock, mouth guard etc). Extra spending money for snacks/water bottles, etc. may be helpful. OL/DL will be a half padded camp (helmets and shoulder pads). Helmets/Shoulder pads will be available for rent from UND for $20 payable via cash/check. All other positions will be non-padded. Quarterbacks are encouraged to bring their own football. Registration Walk-ups are still welcome at the first day of camp. Make all checks payable to University of North Dakota. Canadian residents must pay by credit card or by check/money order DRAWN ON A US BANK, or U.S. currency. Refunds The University of North Dakota allows for no refunds due to personal injury, tournament of any kind, other camps, vacations, etc. Please contact camp director Jordan Gigli at Jordan.gigli@athletics.und.edu for more information. Health Care Each camper must be covered by their own accident and medical insurance. UND will provide an onsite certified athletic trainer for each camp. The Camp Consent Form at the top of this page must be completed before a camper can participate. An insurance carrier and policy number must be listed on this form.

When do the ladies arrive on campus for the start of fall camp?

The offers keep coming: SF Admiral Schofield, 6'5", 220, Zion (Zion-Benton), IL Has offers from Green Bay, Milwaukee, LIU, Niagara & Ohio Average 18 ppg as a junior, supposedly shot 78% from the field (I doubt that is correct) and 80% from the line.

New offer: SG Adam McDermott, 6'4", 175, Cedar Rapids (Xavier), IA I believe Adam is Doug's cousin/Greg's nephew. He was 3rd team all-state last year, averaging 16.5 ppg. He has had DII offers from Truman, Sioux Falls, Wayne St & Mary but recently was offered by UNC.

Who has seen Boike play? Thoughts?

Averaged 16 & 6 on a 34-3 team as a junior. Shot 56% on 2's, 43% on 3's & 76% from the line.

Ryder is from Boulder but is enrolled at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL for his Jr. year. Preferred hockey until just a couple of years ago (when he reached 6'4").
