2015 Recruiting

[Nodak78]

I agree safety would be a good spot.

[bang]

Was just browsing some of our commits hudl tapes. Has anyone had a chance to watch Harry Momoh? He looks absolutely dynamic on the defensive side of the ball and is flying everywhere. Would be a fun player to play next to Reyes next year at safety. Rivals has him as the #6 player in state of MN and 247 sports has him as the #11 player. Either way this kid has a shot of playing from day 1.

I thought we were looking at him as a OLB. Is that right?

It could be, I just like him more as a safety due to his size. 5'10'' is an awfully short linebacker and he has the speed to play safety. His hudl tape does say SS/OLB.

Bubba's philosophy has been to take kids that may be average speed at Safety & move them to LB, where they will have above average speed even if they are a bit undersized... such as Disterhaupt, Butler, etc.  I know Bubba has said he wants faster guys that can attack at all defensive positions, regardless of ideal size for that position.

[bang]

Looks like a good kid. Lead the lakes conf. in sacks. I wouldn't argue with him being put either place cause he looks like he's got the speed. Like most high school kids he's got some over pursuit issues. Which I see as a good thing, means he's aggressive.

It's all a part of making the quarterback's mother the second most uncomforable person in the stadium. In just their first year we did a pretty good job of that - Big Sky quarterbacks aren't used to that.

UND has started dipping into Michigan, offering WR/DB Iwarri Smith.

Any idea which coach is recruiting there?  Knauf or Maurice likely?

I like the kids we got from there last year.

That kid is quick and runs really smooth.

Not sure, but I know Freund has a receiver he's looking at there and Maurice has a safety (all based on Twitter followings - Smith doesn't have any coaches following).

Gotcha, thanks. Always interesting to see what coaches have relationships and where they are.

Anyone have a bead on RB Juco/FBS transfers? 

 

I like the Canadian Freshmen RB but at this point I think we could use another more seasoned recruit to go with Simmons.

Only one I know of is Jawon Arrington of UAB. He didn't play all that much as a junior. I'd like to see another OL transfer as well. To add to our list two ILB and a couple DB's and of course a very good QB.

You're hoping for a Christmas miracle haha. I would take one of the above

JUCO running back D.J. Peluso hasn't announced his destination as of yet to the best of my knowledge. I believe he holds offers from UND and Savannah St.

Travis Beck has had success as a smaller but extremely tough and athletic OLB for NDSU.

We need this kid. I only needed to watch two plays and I shut it off. He could do great things for us.

[Nodak78]

We will much better shape during spring ball with the transfers and JUCO's coming in this year.  I think this class is shaping up quite well.  Another safety for sure.  OL is looking much better with the transfers and the red shirts freshman learning the system. 

[UNDColorado]

Thanks for the info. It is nice to see recruiting talk again.

[bang]

Yes, I forgot about Peluso. Which from what I understand is the one the staff wants. I'm hoping for a miracle of course the QB and ILB's I'd like to see as high school recruits. We need so much immediate help at OL for depth atleast.

If they can pull out a win September 19th it would maybe not eliminate but would atleast blur all the frustrations since 2008. Basically a win against them is a real shot in the arm for the future and we need a OL to do that.

[Nodak78]

Do we see any of the incoming freshman Ol having their shirt pulled. 

 

With 2 JUCO OL plus Stockwell, Bell, Francis we should have more depth than last year.

I saw Momoh play twice this year, when his Hopkins team matched up against Carl Engwall (commit) and Tristyn Hanson (offeree) and Lakeville North.

 

The kid can play. He's strong, fast, and very quick off the ball. They moved him all over the field on defense - but generally near the line of scrimmage. Good tackler, and takes smart routes to the ball.  His height will be a factor if he stays at LB, but I wouldn't rule him out just because of that.

 

I didn't really see him in pass coverage, so I can't comment on his ability there. North just didn't throw that much when they played Hopkins.

 

Frankly, I think he'd be a terror on special teams in addition to his play on D. He's one of those guys that makes an impact almost every time he steps on the field.

[bang]

I don't think you should be playing true freshmen until they get a chance to physically mature. Sometimes they pick up bad habits trying to compensate. As far as Juco transfers go I don't count on them til they are on campus and even then it's 50/50 eligibility or talent wise but I guess that goes for any recruit.
