Looks like a nice DE

I may try later.

Friend of mine just posted a picture on facebook from a bar in Frisco - a sign that said "Bison Pride - Sioux Suck S*%t". It is a little cut off by a Bison logo, so not totally sure it says S*%t, but the Sioux Suck is very clear. So it's there.

That's a pretty good question. They do have some offers out to QBs but I would think that they have to bring in a juco for depth. I think you need a QB every class personally but not sure if the coaching staff feels as strongly as I do about it.

If you folks choose to discuss this ndsu pissing contest please do so elsewhere. I would truly appreciate only UND recruiting information and discussion within this thread. I don't care who started the pissing match, let's just end it and get on with recruiting info as it comes.

Thought I'd revisit the Christmas list that geaux_sioux put together. Out of these, we know that Hein has gone to UNI. For a couple updates on some others, it appears Ryan McKinley has narrowed his top 3 to NDSU, Montana and NAU. I've also heard some things about a couple others, although things change. Mike Redmond sounds like he wants to stay closer to home, and I'm hearing either a walk on at Minny or playing at St. Thomas. I'm hoping that this isn't true and UND is a real possibility. Also, I believe Chad Fahning is waiting for a Gopher offer of some kind, and if he doesn't get it likely will go Ivy. Of the list above, I'd really like to see Thurman, Carr, Stockwell, Johs, Melvin and Neitzke. I'd also like to throw in Bridge Tusler, Fred Beaugard, AJ Goggin, Connor Strahm.

I would love for him to sign with UND, but he is about as soft of a verbal as you can get. I haven't heard any updates on him for a while (any help on this on Travis?), not sure if that's good or bad, and I guess anything could happen. I would say it's probably 50/50 whether or not he makes it to UND.

Another chest bump for mannasau.

Correct

Offeree Nathan Tanguay committed to SU

Jordan hein has committed to N Iowa per Kolpak tweet

As it relates to the playoffs, it was a pretty exciting weekend of football. My parents are herre visiting, and I told my dad when it was 35-0 that it would probably be 35-21 or 35-28 at some point before SHSU puts it away. That appears to be how EWU rolls. Should be a really good championship game, although I think in the end it will be an NDSU victory.

While this may be true, one can never truly underestimate the effect of having the nickname issue hanging over the heads of the coaching staff. We've had a couple good classes since the acceptance to the Big Sky, but they could've been better if not for the nickname issue. I'm somewhat indifferent of Mussman right now - still not sure if he's the one to lead us - but he has been fighting an uphill battle on the recruiting front and now has a full deck to work with.

Kotelnicki tweeted a recruiting chest bump for Schleusner and Muss. Likely just the same one noted before, but with Muss involved maybe a big target?

Offeree Zack Skibinski committed to Northern Iowa. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Zach-Skibinski-141036;_ylt=Asb8n5BvOIdseAZePzKMFWRIPZB4

I suppose he could be the latest chest bump. Three star out of HS. Wonder if he ended up at a prep school?

I'd heard safety but who knows......

Also on scout he list us as low for his interest so I think it's highly unlikely

Omar stover who is a RB offeree verballed to Wyoming

Could mean he got more than one if its big time like he said. Hopefully it's a big one or two.

Both these kids are on campus this weekend I believe. Also, Kuksa is the teammate of Bobbitt I believe from Palatine.

Could be Jameer Thurman..... http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Jameer-Thurman-136899;_ylt=AgC4Qgfaq.RWr2CDvtAqHfdIPZB4

Another note - Offeree DE Lorenzo Melvin was on campus last weekend, and is heading to SoDak St this weekend. He would be a good pickup. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=5793463

Offerree Robert Relf committed to Florida Atlantic - he was one that we were on early and I was hoping we could land. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Robert-Relf-118380;_ylt=AvavibWXUOQn5XmBd4lxj3tIPZB4 Also an offer out to a JUCO. DE Garrett Guanella Santa Rosa, CaliforniaSanta Rosa J.C. 6'5" 235 4.7 Offers from Charlotte, New Mexico, Old Dominion, San Jose State and Western Michigan. Taking visits to a couple Pac 12 schools so it looks like he wants to end up there, although none have offered.
