geaux_sioux Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Although this class is shaping up a bit better than I anticipated, I did believe that Bubba and crew would recruit a pretty respectable class. Some people on this forum thought the class would be an absolute disaster - so much for optimism and confidence.... I'm in your camp on this one. There are plenty of players and the new staff if very legit. Quote
NewSioux42 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Who is coach nurse? Formerly recruited the West Coast (California/Arizona). Quote
Sodbuster Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 No, but I feel very confident that both have enjoyed themselves during their visit thus far and by Feb. 5, they will hopefully be official commitments. if any are still here tomorrow, sounds like they'll get to enjoy their first North Dakota blizzard.

All we heard earlier was that Faison killed this class by waiting too long to name a coach. Quote
Hambone Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 All we heard earlier was that Faison killed this class by waiting too long to name a coach. I think that was only a few people - same people that were freaking out that we only had one verbal when December started. While I had my doubts about the class it is coming together and I'm really excited about signing day! Quote

I also wish that we could have done something sooner but getting the right coach is more important. Quote

sioux24/7 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 looks like bohl stole another NDSU verbal... So? Quote
jjensen Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Looks like Cal is giving Matt Sietz a preferred walk on offer Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 looks like bohl stole another NDSU verbal... How many has he taken? Quote
Kermit Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 How many has he taken? One. Ryon'e Winters, CB, Grand View, Missouri. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 One. Ryon'e Winters, CB, Grand View, Missouri. So by another it was meant as a recruit? Quote
UND92,96 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 SiouxFootballInsider @SiouxFootball 24m DE Brandon Dranka of Huntley, IL has committed to #UND Football #rolltribe Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Looks like Jareem Fleming is going to commit to UND if offered. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Anyone think Dranka would make a nice OLB blitzing machine? Maybe a little small for DE. Quote
Mama Sue Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Keep them in GF due to weather until they commit!!! Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 DE Dranka is an athletic defensive play-maker that can get after the QB from the DE spot - something that the defense has been missing in recent years. Bubba prides himself on those "attack" type players! At 235 lbs, I think he can stay at DE if he bulks up to around 250 lbs. Great addition to a steadily improving defense! Go Sioux! Quote

He does explode of the ball. Quote
homer Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Anyone think Dranka would make a nice OLB blitzing machine? Maybe a little small for DE. I think he can bulk up to DE size. Real good looking player though. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I'd say Bubba is hitting a home run right now. Not with recruiting but with getting people that had lost hope in Mussman to believe in the program again. Quote
Westside Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Looks like Jareem Fleming is going to commit to UND if offered. Just looked at Fleming's twitter... Said Schmidt was gonna call him this morning & let him know if UND can offer or not. With Dranka recently committing not sure if that offer came or will come. Just my observation from looking at his twitter. Also, we do have 2 DE commits now w/ Greeley & Dranka, as well as Dylan Harmston & possibly Hudson Walton at OLB. Quote

We have had solid players there the last few years but we need to have physical guys who are a little more athletic. It will be interesting to see if Flemming gets an offer. Quote
