My thoughts too. Another thing I heard is Dranka is now over 250 and they are expecting really big things from him this year.

Looks like they updated Cox, no? Up to 285. Also looks like Jacob Francis was bumped up to 290.

I personally think it will end up Rough Riders (which I have a hard time stomaching), but I would love it to be the Fighting Norsemen or Norse. Surprisingly, what started as a joke in my mind (not sure it was ever brought up in the nicknames thread - didn't keep up on that one too much) but has grown on me as I've thought about it more is Beet Diggers (Diggers for short). Seems kind of lame right away, but the more I thought about it the more I think I like it. Don't think it would resonate with the college/HS aged kids so seems pretty far fetched......

Maybe a little more seriously, how about Fuel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbHfgXJKn1Y

Eddie Murphy?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDbpzjbXUZI

Maybe a little, but we did sign a home/home with them in FB so maybe basketball isn't too far behind.

Re: USD, I'm wondering if there is still a little bit of issues due to the whole Big Sky/Summit fiasco. No other reason not to have them. Agreed that I'd like to see the other three Dakota schools on the schedule every year. Then sprinkle in some pay games, MVC and/or Horizon teams and some trourneys. Easier said than done, I guess.......

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the OL shakes out this spring. Which younger players made the most improvements? Will Camy step in and be the bulldozer that he looks like? Will Stockwell be healthy enough (and talented enough, for that matter) to take over the LT spot for the next three years? Will the returning starters get pushed and in some cases surpassed by the youngins? And, once we get the True Freshmen on campus, will any of them push for time and get their shirt pulled? Can't wait!

I was hoping that Flowers and Bakker were making good strides. Great update.

Denny has tweeted that he has officially commited to UND.

DE Kemuel Denny is visiting this weekend and will reportedly sign. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/558640/kemuel-denny

Steiger has committed.

LB Andre Steiger is on campus this weekend. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2658629/highlights/180288385

Not to quote myself, but has anyone heard anything about Demon? I know he had an FBS offer or two last year, as well as a couple MVFC ones. Wondering how he's developing as I remember being pretty excited about him.

What about Demon Taylor? And I like the line you have listed, although I would guess Meehan would be RG.

Believe he signed with Mary. Would have been a great walk on though.

Grady has now made deadspin. http://deadspin.com/watch-a-giant-high-school-football-player-dominate-his-1683997196?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

That's all I know of. Smaller schools it's pretty typical that there's not as much flipping at the last minute. Some might be waiting for that big offer but are comfortable signing here if it doesn't come (like Troy Hansen).

Sounds like he's signing at Tennessee State.

SFI is doing a live chat/Q&A on their blog at 2pm. Hopefully we can get a lot of discussion going on the class.

He basically said he doesn't care who offers them and we do our own evaluations that we trust more than who else offered them.

Love Bubba's answer on why kids didn't have any other offers.

Poole and Webb are the ones that I haven't seen. Then haven't seen the Hartness twins PWO stuff come through.

He is a kicker from Zimmerman, MN - thinking he's going to walk on.

Hansen officially in!
