Westside Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Hope we can get this kid. His options at Minnesota would be to change positions or back-up Jones for 4 years(or 3 if he redshirts). It's possible that Jones doesn't end up at Minnesota. He has visits to Florida & Michigan lined up after his performance in the Under Armour All-Star game. Quote
Sioux68 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 If they did get him that means bubba must have backed out and not offered. He's never lost a recruit to NDSU. Srsly. Siu lost 3 battles last year alone to NDSU Nathan Tanguay, Grant Morgan, Pierre Gee Tucker, Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Siu lost 3 battles last year alone to NDSU Nathan Tanguay, Grant Morgan, Pierre Gee Tucker, Bubba didn't. Never has. Never will. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 My guess is that Jones will redshirt because they alread have to solid RB's, play 2 years and bolt for the NFL. I don't know if he's the type of guy to rs. Quote
Hawkster Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Good cause he's like the best player ever I'm sure he's a good player and great catch for us, but I don't think I'd proclaim him the "best player ever" even before he sets foot on the field. Remember a while back when I said you tend to way, way over the top with your assessment of our recruits? That's what I'm talking about. I like to keep things realistic here. Quote

I mean I don't know for sure what he meant but I assumed that he was being sarcastic. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 It's possible that Jones doesn't end up at Minnesota. He has visits to Florida & Michigan lined up after his performance in the Under Armour All-Star game. I hope Jones stays committed to Minnesota, because it only increases the likelihood that Josh Parks commits to UND. Quote

Westside Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I hope Jones stays committed to Minnesota, because it only increases the likelihood that Josh Parks commits to UND. Yep, that won't hurt. I did read an article on Jones where he said the Gophers staff would not recruit another RB if Jones signs... http://www.gopherhole.com/news_article/show/340881?referrer_id=394965 Gopher Hole: You committed to Minnesota a while ago and they only have one running back commitment and that is you. Is that important to you when you look at schools? Jeff Jones: Yes. That shows that Minnesota is going to be just as loyal as I am. They are a staff that told me if I am going to commit that they are not going to look for no other backs. That is the thing that I like about them. The staff is a true and genuine staff and if they get the guy that they want they are going to change that program around fast. It will be interesting to see if Jones stays true to his Minnesota verbal. Quote
Westside Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Tom Miller tweets & recruiting article... Tom Miller @tommillergf 3m UND FB adds 3 more verbals including a dual-threat QB. http://mobile.grandforksherald.com/page/article/id/282658/ … Tom Miller @tommillergf 2m After talking to the recruits, sounds like UND can thank Danny Freund for his work during the coaching changeover. Kids were complimentary. Quote
homer Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Real happy to see the write up. Hats off to Tom on the coverage. Any ideas on who is visiting next weekend? Quote
Hambone Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Real happy to see the write up. Hats off to Tom on the coverage. Any ideas on who is visiting next weekend? Brendan Ballard is I believe. Only one I can think of off the top of my head. Edit - Payton Jordahl too. Quote
UND92,96 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Real happy to see the write up. Hats off to Tom on the coverage. Any ideas on who is visiting next weekend? The Perham kid is supposed to be here next weekend. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Just curious, are current players not allowed to tweet at recruits or congratulate them on committing? Quote
Hambone Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Brendan Ballard is I believe. Only one I can think of off the top of my head. Edit - Payton Jordahl too. Ballard committed to SIU. We'll see if he still visits since Schmidt was his primary recruiter at SIU prior to the coaching change. Quote
Hambone Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Does anyone know if Justin Diddell was on campus for sure? Was supposed to be per rivals but I really didn't hear anything about him..... And Diddell was apparently as Indiana State this weekend, after which he committed. Quote
UND Fan Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Looks like und recruit Ezra Szczyrbak, DE from Moose Lake, MN is going to NDSU. Know the new staff had gone and talking to him. Was hoping we could get him. Has this been confirmed? Quote
northdakotasioux99 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Cieslak is scheduled for this weekend Quote
Bison Dan Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Has this been confirmed? http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?32532-Welcome-to-NDSU-Ezra-Szczyrbak Quote
Westside Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Has this been confirmed? Yep Ezra Szczyrbak @EzraSzczyrbak 22h Committed to play my college football at NDSU! I wanna thank the coaches at ML/WR, esp. Coach Louz for everything! Quote
Hambone Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Hudson Walton has officially committed to UND. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Hudson Walton has officially committed to UND. Anyone know anything about him? The film doesn't show a lot of him playing d. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Anyone know anything about him? The film doesn't show a lot of him playing d. It looks like he was a finalist for Wisconsin Running Back of the Year and was First Team All State RB. The stats look like he didn't play LB his senior year, and played one game his junior year. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Develyn Ferguson @dev_ferguson15h S/O to my boy @R_taubs for turning down WISCONSIN #RollTribe #Sioooooux Quote
