Sounds like Schleusner got another commitment today, per a Mannausau tweet.

That guy is a recruiting juggernaut

Anyone know who is in charge of recruiting Nodak?

Whoever it is better get Johs to come here

[Hambone]

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?

Would it be possible for a mod to put some kind of sticky at the beginning of the football forum where we could track who is signed, verballed, offered, etc...?

Would be much easier than scanning page after page looking for someone when they are mentioned later.

[dakotadan]

The recruiting wiki page has everything organized like that. And there are a few posters on here who keep it very updated.

OK thanks, didn't know that.

[sioux24/7]

I really hope Jameer Thurman was the chest bump!

[homer]

I'm curious who this last commit was. With Kotelnicki tweeting yesterday that the "dominoes are starting to fall" and now Mannausau tweeting today that "the day just got a lot better", must have been someone fairly high up on the board today.

I was just looking at JJ Robertson's scout page I believe and it says he ran a 4.47. How does that compare to Greg Hardin or anyone else on the team? What are some current players 40 times?

It is absolutely irrelevant. You can go play for the Gators in Florida and run a 4.21 40 then go to the combine and run a 4.42 40 while someone who goes to Maryland can run a 4.45 40 then run a 4.30 at the combine. Until he runs a 40 with the same method of measurement that they use at UND then the times don't mean squat. Just go by how he looks on film. If he covers 5 yards with two strides at top speed then he's got some good top end speed.

3 of these 6 would be a nice start...need to see some defensive studs on the board.

[Feff]

According to SFI, Jake Disterhaupt committed to us, looks like as a safety.

Only if he can flip his hips and break on the ball.

GF Herald article. Good, except for the stupid "Green and White" reference. God I hope that doesn't stick.

Don't sweat it; they've been using the "Green and White" reference for decades -- way before the nickname controversy got nasty (as I demonstrated in another thread a few months ago); it's been "sticking" for years. They just do it more now because they can't sprinkle a few choice "Sioux" or "Fighting Sioux" references in here and there anymore, for obvious reasons. Just plug your nose, grin and bear it, I guess.

DL Nick Jacobsen (Prescott) WI. verbals to NDSU. UND and Pittsburgh were also interested

UND was interested early but backed off towards end of the year. Kid is a good player, though.

This will be labeled as "sour grapes" by NDSU fans. Why did UND back off?

They backed off of Mollberg big time and had McGinnis rated higher

Don't know but they did. Doesn't mean the kid is bad, maybe they felt he didn't want to come to UND so they moved on?

The kid looks pretty stiff to me. Way to high in his stance and just plows forwards through 160 lb Olinemen.

Also I'm sure the verbal from Brandon Miller who looks pretty good and is the same size and position probably made him less of a target.
