Wonder if there would be a corresponding reduction in FCS? If so, might entice a couple schools to move up sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the article. Should be able to help UND.

A couple good articles on recruiting and message boards / twitter / facebook. http://www.subwaydomer.com/2012-articles/january/hey-college-football-fans-leave-recruits-alone.html http://www.thenewstribune.com/2012/01/08/1974157/rejected-fans-nastiness-a-nuisance.html

Well, he was ranked the No.18 QB out of HS, so he definitely must have some talent. Not much game experience recently, but hopefully he is a player. Looking forward to seeing what this young man can do.

Also, DJ Hebert out of Osseo verballed to UNI.

It should also be noted that he has UND, Nebraska and Oregon listed as "High" interest, and USD / SDSU listed as "Low" interest. Looks like a good player! I would think it might come down to a walk on at Nebraska or scholarship at UND. Hopefully the coaches can nab him!

Don't have access to twitter at work - care to give a flavor?

Pride is also going to Indiana State. http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/136744323.html

I believe that Farnlof may have picked up a Bison offer, and I know he has already visited SDSU. Not sure on plans to visit UND or others. Jahn is visiting UND on Jan 21 (and visiting NAU on Jan14) per scout, and has stated that he will not walk on anywhere and will chose from offers that he has (NAU, UND and NDSU currently). Michaelson and Pierce both have visited Wyoming and I believe are hoping for Minn offers, and I don't believe UND will land either (my opinion based on nothing really, although it would be great if they did land one or both). Don't know any information on the last two. I could be wrong on anything above, just piecing together information from other sources as it has been given.

Peter King has a little writeup on Kleinsasser in the MMQB on CNNSI this morning. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/01/01/week.17/1.html

I personally really like this one as well.

Looking at scout, which doesn't show UND interest, Elmore has offers from Central Michigan and Western Michigan. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=5599783

I would love black end zones with a white or green North Dakota.

JD Pride maybe? Although he was converted to WR at Minny, he's transferring FCS to play QB. Heard Indiana State is the early favorite. Wonder what other FBS QB's are looking to transfer......

Some visit news: RB Casey Jahn will be taking an official visit on 1/21. Has offers from us, NDSU and Northern Arizona. Other visit noted at NAU on 1/14. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=4241600

Also, per the linked post from GopherHole, it appears UND has offered a couple Minnesota kids recently: Anthony Hill from Champlin Park and Adam Bungum from Triton. See post 14 from the thread...... http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?34156-Minnesota-Class-of-2012-Recruiting-Update

So I'm scouring Scout for anyone listed as visiting over the weekend, and there was only one that I could dig up..... LaRon Tarkington (no offer, but interest) http://recruiting.sc...c=1&nid=4312645 Also found an offer I hadn't seen anywhere..... DE Nehemiah Mitchell (Bishop O Dowd HS) Oakland, CA 6'5" 220 - no other offers http://recruiting.sc...c=1&nid=5430058

Alright - anyone with connections lets dig out some of these commitments. Oskie, you out there? My only connections are rivals and scout

Bin - why were you yelling all game???

My thoughts as well. As for which recruiting site is the best, I prefer Rivals because you can search specifically for UND and who they have offers out to and who they are interested in (scout doesn't let you search by FCS school, although they do list FCS schools if players have had interest from them, but you need to find them on the players individual page). Although ESPN you can also see which players UND has offers out to, the number of individuals you can find on rivals is much higher. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Would love to see UND get a committment from Michaelson, Pierce, and Anyanwu.

Couldn't agree more Sic.

I had thought that UND had offered a full as well, but reading the article it sounds like NDSU and Mankato are the only schools that have offered as of yet. That being said, I would imagine that UND will offer a full today, and let the chips fall where they may. NDSU does seem like it would be a good situation for him, with their strong team and perceived lack of returning players at the WR position (although Vraa and Gebhart should be healthy next year), but hopefully UND can dangle playing with Mollberg and helping UND establish themselves in the Big Sky as a big carrot that is appealing to him. Also, you never know academically what his interests are, so that may sway him as well. My gut would say that he will go to SU, but you never know.....

Stony Brook at (1) Sam Houston State New Hampshire at Montana State Wofford at (5) Northern Iowa Central Arkansas at (4) Montana Old Dominion at (3) Georgia Southern Maine at Appalachian State Lehigh at Towson James Madison at (2) North Dakota State I think that the games should all be close ones, with the potential exceptions being Stony Brook/SHSU and Central Arkansas/Montana. Awesome slate of games for the weekend.

Sounds like UND is down early 25-10. Haven't been listening or anything, so not sure what's going on.
