[Hawkster]

According to a commentor on the startribune recruitment page, UND has an offer out to Zach Lindquist, a TE/DE from Mahtomedi.

Didn't see that name on the linked page. Only Zach on there was Zeimer and it looks like everyone has offered him, including UND.

You have to look down in the comments section under the listing. The listing doesn't get updated unless the owner has confirmation from a coach or parent.

Per a Kotelnicki tweet, it sounds like there was a commitment over the weekend.

If it's Mannausa it must be another Wisconsin kid?? Hopefully we hear a name.

I'm definitely not saying he is the commitment, because I have no idea, but I believe Jordan Hein was on an unofficial visit to UND this weekend. Not sure how many others may have been, also.

Anyone heard any further news about this?

Hein is listed as a QB on Rivals. I assume he is being recruited for a different position, anyone know for sure?

I think you're right. I'm not 100% sure either, but I don't think he is being recruited as a QB.

My guess is OLB or safety.

After some serious digging, we've found 6-5 290 Waterford, WI OL/DL Brandon Miller has given his #FCS verbal to #UND :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok6btwn9LEc …

[jdub27]

Looks like he had some interest, but no offers yet, from some pretty legit schools. Went to camp and UW and UM along with a visit to Western Michingan. Looks like more schools were coming on late. Recruited to play DT I would guess.

Welcome to UND Brandon!

Nice pickup in Miller. I don't know what to make of it when they say "FCS verbal", but I'm reading it as he may bolt if something better comes up (similar to Dan Bell), which I guess is the risk you take.

That's what I'm guessing and how I read it too. If Wisconsin or some other Big "Televen" school were to come in late with a schollie, he would take it.

Nice to get his FCS verbal though this early. Coach Mannausau is on the board!

[homer]

Travis, do you have any information you can share with us about Brandon when you get a chance?

[UND Fan]

It is interesting to note that Edin Kovac, a QB from Tuscon (a freshman at Northland CC) is to be visting campus on 10/13 (NAU game).

... Big "Televen" ...

I thought it was "Telewen", a combination of Ten, Eleven, and Twelve.

As fast as conferences change lately who can keep up.

[UND Fan]

Another offer - I don't think it is new but one that we had missed:

OL Austin Kuhnert, 6'5”, 290, Sioux Falls (Washington), SD Has offers from NDSU, USD & SDSU

North Dakota is his only offer right now, so he took it. Other schools are starting to get involved and things could be re-evaluated if others were to offer. Distance is a bit of an issue.

When you say "others" are you referring to FBS/BCS level schools or would other FCS or lower level FBS schools that may be closer make him re-consider his verbal?

[sioux24/7]

Just wondering have we heard who all of the "recruiting chestbumps" are over? I realize the four commitments that we have but is there more?

[UND92,96]

Has anybody heard whether UND is looking at RB Kedon Sweetney (what a great name!) from Warroad? He's got decent size at 6'0", 190, and has over 1200 yards rushing through six games. I guess he transferred to Warroad prior to the school year from Winnipeg, where he also put up big numbers at his previous school.

[Hambone]

Also wondering if Aarin Smith would be coming in as a JUCO transfer after this year - anyone heard anything about him?

[Hambone]

Sounds like another chest bump in the twin cities per kotelnicki tweet.

GOOD ,we need all the recruiting we can get!

[gfhockey]

kotelnicki should be worrying about the current status instead of chest bumping.... he may not have ajob after this year.

His recruiting and special teams have been very good if not great those are 2/3rds of his jobs. The linebackers are young and injured but also need to tackle better. But as Ray Lewis will tell you, a linebacker can't do his job in a 3-4 defense with lineman blocking him. It starts up front.
