homer Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 They make it sound like Schobert isn't receiving any $$$. They tweeted as of now no money but they'll wait and see how things go. Do you suppose that means he is a PWO or we are waiting on an offer from someone else? Either way its a good get. After his junior year he was drawing some interest from the Badgers. Quote

You are correct - there was a great deal of interest in him a few months ago. I wonder what happened with him - injured during his Sr. year? Quote

Hambone Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Kolpack is now reporting Arp to NDSU. Well, that sucks. Quote
mg2009 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Kolpack is now reporting Arp to NDSU. I'll believe it when he signs. They did get marcus brantley, who I think visited UND at one point. I think we'll be playing NDSU sooner rather than later, but in the playoffs, as it should be. Quote
UND-1 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Its amazing how much influence a High School coach can have over a kid. Arp had committed to UND but his coach wouldn't let him finalize it until he talked to him in person. Well, here is your result. Coach Larson- who is an NDSU alum, must be pretty powerful in Forman. Personally, I have never heard of a coach talking a kid into going to a different school, the coaches alma mater, just so the coach can be happy. Not in ND at least. Quote

sultan Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Arp was walking on at UND. Is he walking on at NDSU to or did NDSU offer him money at the last second. Didn't someone say NDSU stayed after Molberg even after he committed to UND too? Quote

Coach can't keep kid from signing. As an alumnus of a school, if he told the kid to wait until he talked to him before signing, then he violated NCAA rules. Alumni are not allowed to talk to recruits in an attempt to influence their decision. I would not be surprised if this occured but I would like to see some evidence. Quote

UND-1 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 We will have to wait and see if Kolpack does his job when he writes the article. I am not saying they should ask how it all went down but it should mention that he was committed to UND. Quote

I am not saying they should ask how it all went down but it should mention that he was committed to UND. when was this? All ive been able to find was a SFI tweet that lechler was leaning ndsu and arp leaning und, nothing else. Quote

I am not saying they should ask how it all went down but it should mention that he was committed to UND. It should mention he was committed to UND? I didn't see anything about him being committed one way or the other until tonight. As any story should, it should state the facts. Nothing else. Quote
Risky Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 The Schwartkopf recruit from Bismarck was on television last night saying how he chose UND over NDSU. Hopefully he will stick with his committment to UND. I suppose NDSU is on his doorstep trying to get him too switch like the Arp kid did. Quote
Johnny Five Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Did SFI talk to Arp when they sent the original tweet? I haven't seen a quote or story anywhere from the kid or family saying he chose UND but maybe I missed it. I think it's funny it should be up to kolpack. Him and izzo have been talking to the past few verbals as quickly as possible after their commitment broke, and in many times even the UND commits. Where we're the GF reporters to talk to Arp then? How about refraining from false accusations and enjoy the kids who have decided that your school is the best fit for them. Quote
Risky Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Didn't I read where Izzo and Kolpack tweeted that Arp had decommitted from UND. In order to decommit don't you have to have committed previously? Quote
GeauxSioux Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Per @FGOSPORTSWRITER and @DomIzzoWDAY Justin Arp has decommitted from #UND and committed to #NDSU on the eve of national signing day Quote
Johnny Five Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Yes that makes sense. Has anyone heard from the family then? I guess that was my original point. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Verbal commitments are really pointless at times. Until they sign on the dotted line, they have every right to switch schools. Heck, Gunner Kiel, #1 rated pocket passer was ready to start school at LSU for the Spring semester when he got cold feet and decided he wanted to go to Notre Dame....the day before classes started.

Hambone Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 A kid committed then changed his mind. Is there anything wrong with that? No. Shouldn't be Kolpack's job to find out why. Would have loved to have him, but he chose a different path. Good luck to him. 1 Quote

I think Larson is a dragon, by the way. Anyway Hambone....I agree. Quote

Would have loved to have him, but he chose a different path. Good luck to him. I don't particularly care whether the real story comes out or not, but I thought it was interesting that SFI specifically asked Kolpack last night via tweet whether Arp decommitted from UND, and neither Kolpack nor Izzo have responded yet.

Didn't know that - would like to find out too. Anyway, Joel Isenberger is the first to sign the LOI. Quote
