One thing I liked is that his touchdowns were all him making something happen after he caught the ball. Knows how to make people miss. We really need Rousemiller to commit this weekend, and however unlikely we need Bull to switch over. I'm not sure who they have for OL on the back burner, as they really need to get around 4 or 5. Be interesting to see what happens.

Adeoti has committed.

Maybe he cancelled? All indications I had was that he would be in Grand Forks, but you never know. EDIT: SDSU lost an OL commit to the Badgers, so maybe.....

There should be some beef on campus this weekend.

All but one of the kids was committed, but I don't know who they all were.

Gibson has committed. Sounds like he will be playing safety for the Hawks.....

Andrew Zimmerman was also on campus. Not sure on the other.

Not sure but Tamas Stewart was on campus so that could be a possibility.

Is it weird to think that even with this little time and that far to go that NDSU still has a shot to pull this out?

My guess is Andrew Zimmerman out of Fresno City College. Started his career at EWU. Again, just an educated guess.

I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I'm correct

Well, he just got an offer from Michigan State yesterday, so I'd say he may be an even bigger stretch than thought before with just UCLA.

Guessing another. CB probably?

Thinking WR.

If offense he would be either RB or slot type guy. Guessing RB.

Just beat me to it - this guy has the potential to be very good as well. Had offers from UNC and Air Force.

Sounds like McKinney will be coming in during the semester break. This article, which is a good read, says he's signing on Wednesday, which I believe is when the mid-years can sign. http://m.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/hs/article/Change-of-scenery-works-out-for-former-West-Brook-10790768.php

A note about Stewart - he is a mid-year so he would be around for Spring ball.

I was talking to a Minnesota recruiting guy and I asked if Boltmann was comparable to Studsrud, and he said that was a very good comparison. So I'd say maybe he'll be ready to run the squad when Studs is gone. Would love to see Heidelbaugh develop, though.

And so I'm wrong. I've thought that NDSU had always had recruits during the playoffs, but I guess I'm wrong. Oh well, can't be perfect all the time.....

I think you'll see more of a push in January for more recruits. I know they are on some JUCO kids that I believe are mid-year, so they would be eligible for spring ball. I know they're looking at some JUCO DB, OL and possibly a QB. Not sure how serious we are on some of the kids. As per usual I think you'll see some very successful weekends in January. As it relates to hosting kids during playoffs, you definitely can until the quiet period as far as I know. I haven't looked at any of the quiet/no contact time frames for this year though, so I don't know when they start.

I'm still not 100% sure I'm able to make it, but planning on it (so haven't got my ticket yet). I'm guessing there are plenty in similar situations. I think we should be able to surpass 10k. Would love to see more......

After the NAU game I was on the field with my son and buddy SiouxDini and Kennedy / Faison walked up to me and we talked football playoffs and volleyball championship for a bit. Faison was really engaged in the playoff talk and how he was pretty comfortable that not being seeded we would still get a home game.

I try to get up for one game a year from down here, and this will be my third this year. For NAU I left at 6am on Saturday and came home after the game - thinking I will do that a couple times a year going forward so should be able to make 2-3 games a year. Edit: my wife doesn't care for football and doesn't like me spending too much money on it, otherwise I would probably have season tickets and make at least one out of town game a year as well. Have to pick my battles

I plan on driving up, but can't commit until after the weekend.
