2015 Recruiting

[nodak651]

No reason not to! Winnipeg is huge and way closer than the cities.. How many Canadians have we typically had?

[jjensen]

I don't think we usually have too many, last one I remember was Bamba, Canada isnt usually have a huge number I'm guessing but if you can get players to buy into a system and set up to be successful as long as they can play at the D1 level might as well give them a chance.

Punter Brett Cameron (2008-2012) and LB Curtis Deblanko (2006-2010) were probably the last two big contributors outside of Bamba (2008-2009). Donovan Alexander (2003-2007) was also a pretty solid get out of Winnipeg.

Donovan Alexander was a very solid db.

UND had several excellent Canadian players in the 1990's, such as Tim Prinsen, Kevin Robson, Greg Lotysz, Scott Schultz, Mike Juhasz and Dwayne Ell, among others. For whatever reason, the pipeline has seemingly dried up in recent years.

[Hambone]

Sounds like NDSU is hitting Canada up as well, as some of the players we have interest in up there also have NDSU interest. Part of that I think is that the Canadian players are being marketed better.

Also, I believe that UND has offers out to James Johannason and Ty Brooks from Fargo South.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we had already offered these two. Your sources are normally very reliable - I will update Wiki.

Thanks, Ham - I will get these listed on Wiki later this evening!

[mg2009]

Also, I believe that UND has offers out to James Johannason

johannason is a bigtime prospect. I'd be stunned if he stayed instate.

[sioux24/7]

If he does I would be even more stunned if he came here.

[jjensen]

Freund and Rodgers are walking around campus with 3 recruits it looks like. Don't know if this year recruits or next year.

You'd better start digging harder

[Hambone]

SFI noted there are a couple possible FBS transfers and a JUCO on campus.

[nodak651]

Can you guys clarify what a player of interest is? Is that someone who UND is in contact with, has interest in UND, or is just generally a potential recruit?

All/any of the above!

[Hambone]

UND has offered OT Ben Shoults out of Maple Grove, MN. Like this kid.

[jjensen]

Watched his hudl film and I see why you like him. This kid has the potential to be an absolute stud at the college level. Would be a great get.

[UND Fan]

New offer:

TE Sam Steckman, 6'3", 225, 4.6, Andover (Andover), MN

[Hambone]

UND has offered Robbie Grimsley out of Hutchinson. Has offer from NDSU.

[UND Fan]

Another offer:

RB Demaris Purafoy, 6'1", 180, Wauwatosa (West), WI Has offers from NDSU & IL St

[UND Fan]

Johannesson received his offer from NDSU today. Surprised that hadn't happened before now!

[UND92,96]

Johannesson received his offer from NDSU today. Surprised that hadn't happened before now!

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but does anybody know whether Johannesson's (sp?) dad is from Edinburg? There was a guy with the same name who was a high school basketball teammate of Scott Guldseth. Just curious.

[Tangolou]

Yes his dad was a very good running back for Edinburg in the late 80's. He was a strong back. hard to bring down. He played college football for Jamestown.
