OL Devan Hunt from Edina is the 4th.Edit: Hunt may be more of a DL (nose) prospect... lists himself at 6'4" 295, but he doesn't look that big (tall) in his hudl. Edited December 4, 2015 by UNDBIZ
LkvlleUNDFan Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Anyone have any idea of how many recruits the staff actually wants to bring in for next year? The past 2 classes have been quite large, perhaps the staff is only looking to bring in 20-22 this year instead of the 30+ we've been seeing?I know the number is smaller - I think I heard 15-16, but that seems light. 20 might be more realistic.
UNDBIZ Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I know the number is smaller - I think I heard 15-16, but that seems light. 20 might be more realistic.Maybe 15-16 with scholarships and an additional 5 walk-ons?
UND92,96 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Per a Maurice tweet, there is a new commitment. I'm guessing Hartford?
Hambone Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Per a Maurice tweet, there is a new commitment. I'm guessing Hartford?my guess too. Looking for some confirmation.
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 SFI just confirmed that it is Hartford.Adding to that safety depth right off the bat. I like it.
geaux_sioux Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Nice. I really like the size and attitude of this guy. Length is also a plus.
shep Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Loved his tape too.Just curious-saw his tweet a couple days ago re: his first DI offer and now he commits.No one at DI offered him and he didn't feel like waiting I guess, but unless the staff overwhelmed him and he just knew he wanted to play here, is there a concern that no other school wanted to make an offer?

UNDvince97-01 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Hartford will play ILB. Edited December 6, 2015 by UNDvince97-01 1

We have a lot of players on our roster who only had 1 D1 offer, and it seems to be working out pretty well. Sometimes coaches miss on good players. How many offers did Reyes, Olivera, Adler, Kuska, and Hardin have?Sometimes coaches miss badly - Goliday, Schobert, and Santiago. There are a lot of good football players out there and our coaches seem to be doing a good job finding them.

geaux_sioux Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Hartford will play ILB.Why inside? Coverage skills?
SiouxVolley Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Is Canada devoid of talent this year? What's the deal?
UNDvince97-01 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Why inside? Coverage skills?I'm guessing because the staff believes he projects best there for their defense. Just trying to get faster and more athletic at all positions. The defensive guys have a recruiting track record of bumping guys down from their high school position in an effort to make their defenses faster and more athletic.

The defensive guys have a recruiting track record of bumping guys down from their high school position in an effort to make their defenses faster and more athletic.I do love when big safeties that may be a step slow slide down to LB where they become a very fast LB. Worked out great for Dayo and Disterhaupt.
tnt Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 The more I see guys like Santiago, Golloday and Schobert not get multiple scholarship offers, the less I am concerned when a recruit isn't rolling in offers. 4

shep Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks for the input all. Was just wondering if that was an issue and you made good points especially in naming others who hadn't been offered.
geaux_sioux Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Anyone know anything about this guy? We've offered him and he looks like he would make a nice and big OLB.http://www.hudl.com/athlete/5579943/highlights/289121393/v2

UNDBIZ Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 SFI seems to think Devan Hunt, OL from Edina, may have committed as well. PWO. Nothing for sure though.
