Looks like RB Josh Parks is going to choose between a PWO opportunity with Minny or UND. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Josh-Parks-151154;_ylt=A0oG7hHkLttS2jIA5yAqk6B4;_ylu=X3oDMTBybnZlZnRlBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkAw--

Pipkins is a large dude!

He appears to be a JUCO DB. I can't find much on him or his JUCO but he is from Sparks NV. He's enrolled at UND now and I believe he graduated HS in 2013. I think this is him. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/717876/will-lyons EDIT: I can't seem to find anything on him so I'm not sure where he was last year although I'm almost positive the hudl film is him.

LB Dylan Harmson out of Wisconsin is in town it appears. First team all state based on what I'm seeing. Could be a good one to get. Also a hell of a triple jumper going over 44 feet as a junior. www.hudl.com/athlete/o/1494072/dylan-harmston

For all of you Connor Wilkie fans out there - he committed to play football at SW Minnesota State.

Possible UND may be bringing Rudolph St Germain in for a visit. Saw something on twitter stating he was visiting North Dakota, but it may be Wahpeton as the tweet also mentioned an offer from a JUCO in Kansas. Of course, with Kevin Maurice coming in it is entirely possible it is UND since he has his Miami/Florida connections. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=6357981 http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/1556115/#highlights/53349375

Offeree Tom Kirsch verbaled to Western Illinois.

UND has offerred WR Zach Reuter out of Missouri. Offers from Southern Illinois, South Dakota and Army. http://sports.yahoo....h-Reuter-158364 http://www.hudl.com/...148/zach-reuter# EDIT: After watching his tape I wonder if we're goinng after him as a WR or safety. Has pretty good hands it looks like and breaks some takles on offense. Seems to be in good position on defense, although probably would need more work on that side of the ball.

In most cases at most schools if you are on scholarship and can no longer play due to injury you still get your scholarship honored (I'm assuming the injury must occur while participating in the sport you are on scholarship for). It doesn't count against the 63 equivalents either I believe. As to when he hurt his knee, I'm not sure.

The only thing I was able to hear from my source was that he did apply for school at UND at around the same time he applied to UofM.

A couple more offers in Michigan - from the same school Flint Carman-Ainsworth. Both are DB/WR types. Javonte Alexander and Brandon Walker. Walker lists an offer from Kent State. http://rivals.yahoo.com/basketballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Jevonte-Alexander-141488 http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/1047977/jevonte-alexander http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Brandon-Walker-138899 http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/1047973/brandon-walker

Not sure about that. If it is as a walkon at both I would think he might be able to do that, although if he starts practicing with UND that could be something that changes it. Also, same thread on gopherhole, someone said they had a source saying Shanks is going to UND, as a walk-on (I would assume if that is the case it would be on scholarship next year).

Offerree Michael Roach has verballed to Wofford.

I guess we will likely find out for sure in the next couple days.....

Yes I believe he is there.

Does the young man with the coaches look like a lineman or something else? Curious as to who it is.....

I will tell you that when Shanks was going to transfer, I was told he was 75% sure he was going to UND - mainly because of his friendship and wanting to play with Hooker. Then the Gophers came calling and it was hard for him to turn down a possibility to play in the Big Ten - although I'm told he was completely torn between UND and UofM. I don't believe he had any interest in NDSU - it was UND or U of M.

Ertel has committed to Boise State.

At one point just before Bubba was hired LB Blake Emsick out of Omaha noted he was visiting this weekend. Not sure if he is or not. He seemed really excited about UND and was one I thought we would get. Has an offer from Weber State and PWO/regular walk on opportunity at Rutgers I believe.

I believe we had an offer out to him early in the year.

UND has offered Brendan Ballard, big OT out of Michigan. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&cfg=null&nid=6347432

UND has also offered DE Luke Elsner out of Wisconsin. Also has offers from NDSU, USD and Air Force.

UND has offered safety Alec Kocour out of Wisconsin. Multiple offers.

I've got it from a pretty good source that UND has about a 50% chance of landing Shanks. I believe he is definitely going to be visiting UND although I'm not sure when.
