Hambone Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Two nice Illinois safeties. Now need to reel in Thurman, Scarver, and Redmond. And a RB. Quote
southpaw Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 good artcile on kuksa http://www.csnchicago.com/preps/news/Bobbit-Kuksa-lead-Palatine-revival?blockID=760605 few offers he had for qb Also talks about his teammate Jesse Bobbit who we offered as safety. Quote

homer Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Video on Kuksa. Kid can bring the wood from safety position. http://www.hudl.com/...lights/34179376 Hell yes. Highlight tapes are supposed to look good so I try to take that into consideration but that kid can hit. Offers from Wyoming and Western Illinois. Nice. Quote
Risky Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 The QB from Oregon and the 2 safeties from Illinois all commited today. Was their anyone else today? Quote
homer Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Coach Breitbach had one and Coach Nurse had one (possibly two). One of those is Sam Riddle I believe. Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Hell yes. Highlight tapes are supposed to look good so I try to take that into consideration but that kid can hit. Offers from Wyoming and Western Illinois. Nice. I definitely agree about not getting excited about highlight tapes because you can cherry pick 2 minutes worth of good plays from 2 seasons and make a guy look like a player. I look for a few things when looking at tapes like this. I like that this guy made several big hits and solid tackles against what appeared to be the same team and then also ranged to make a play on a quick pass to the outside from his deep safety position. Looks like the kind of guy who can be solid against the run and make a receiver think twice about what's coming over the middle of the field. I'm having a hard time remembering the last time we had a safety who liked to lay the wood to receivers and play around the line of scrimmage. Quote
UND-1 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Just watch the film: http://www.hudl.com/...lights/26265410 I don't think people on here are understanding how good Reyes is. Watch the Hudl film, that is all I ask. There is a reason why half the MVFC offered him, this kid is the real deal. Quote

I'm having a hard time remembering the last time we had a safety who liked to lay the wood to receivers and play around the line of scrimmage. His name was Ankenbauer and he crushed guys. He had at least one personal foul for hits to the head/defenseless receiver a game. Wasn't big but he was mean. Hopefully these new guys can hit like him but cover the pass better. Quote

Guys who make receivers look to the middle of the field to make sure they know where they are. Nobody on last year's defense struck any fear into anybody. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Nobody on last year's defense struck any fear into anybody. On the opposing team. I crossed my legs every time the d was on the field last season. Quote
UND Fan Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I think I have Wiki updated with all the recent activity. If not, let me know. With all the chest bumps last week and over the weekend, I think we are missing 4-5 commitments, correct? Quote

With all the chest bumps last week and over the weekend, I think we are missing 4-5 commitments, correct? Thanks for updating the wiki. Its tough to keep track of the chest bumps. Looks like a good class, I wonder how many of these kids will be reshirted and how many may play this fall. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 That's cool. Why not show him the greatest hockey arena there is. It's either that or take him to a basketball game.... Seems to have worked well this weekend. I think it gives us an advantage since they'll see a bball game at most schools and we can offer them something at least different or novel if it's their first time Quote

I think it gives us an advantage since they'll see a bball game at most schools and we can offer them something at least different or novel if it's their first time What would be even 'cooler' is if they could show recruits a state of the art indoor practice facility rather than just renderings of it. We need to get that thing built! Anyone have any updates on it's progression? 1 Quote

Maybe these recruits would rather see hockey instead of basketball. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Any predictions on the other chest bumps from yesterday? I believe one more from nurse which means west coast. Quote
Hambone Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Any predictions on the other chest bumps from yesterday? I believe one more from nurse which means west coast. I'm interpreting that Nurse got two yesterday. Kotelnicki had a tweet in the morning with one, and then another in the afternoon. I am hoping one is Armond Hawkins, a CB. Not sure if he's visited or if we even had a shot, but he looks pretty good. So I'm thinking that we have two from Cali. Quote
