UND1983 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I don't know if he's any good or what kind of competition he plays against in JUCO, but a 40-time under 4.4 is pretty dang fast, even for a running back, right? Which means he really runs a 4.5. 99% of 40 times and 90% of 'height listed' are embellished. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 For comparison's sake, Weston Dressler and Donovan Alexander were around 4.35 at UND. As was Hardin Quote
forksandspoons Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 any CBs being looked at right now? we need a couple IMO Quote
bang Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 For comparison's sake, Weston Dressler and Donovan Alexander were around 4.35 at UND. I didn't notice he's a juco. I was thinking he was a high school kid with 4.4 speed. If I remember right Moore was under 4.4 as well around his Junior year. Quote

If I remember right Moore was under 4.4 as well around his Junior year. Ya, Phil was in high 4.3's his junior year....did get a little slower his senior year. We have another coach driving to Michigan right now....I hope whoever is worth the drive. Quote
iramurphy Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Not that anyone actually thought there was a chance of Driskel coming here but he is headed to Louisiana Tech. I wonder if the Duck Dynasty Dad or Terry Bradshaw called him to congratulate. 1 Quote
Csonked Out Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Looks like a Kyle Kilgore from East Ridge is coming as a preferred walk on.http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2734535/kyle-kilgore 6'3'' and 235lbs but can only bench 205? This kid needs to find himself a weight room and fast! Quote
Teeder11 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 6'3'' and 235lbs but can only bench 205? This kid needs to find himself a weight room and fast! Folks say recruits embellish their attributes on their Hudl tapes, so it's probably more likely he only benches single plates and the bar! Ouch. Quote

Ouch. hell I am only 5'10'' and 175 and been lifting for a year and am at 240lbs on the flat bench....no excuse for kids like this. Quote
gundy1124 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 6'3'' and 235lbs but can only bench 205? This kid needs to find himself a weight room and fast! Yes, needs some strength, but he plays stronger than his numbers. I assume he gets a workout program this summer and will likely redshirt, so maybe a late bloomer, with 20 months to figure it out. A quick strength story......Phil Hanson and a few others while in college spoke to my high school team. Phil confessed to only benching 185 heading into SU as a freshman. Quote

Ya, but with the increased knowledge and availability of strength training, it still amazes me that so many kids don't give a crap about it until the summer after senior year. I really am at a loss of words for it. Quote
jjensen Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Alex Wilde getting some facetime with coaches. 6'4" 205 receiver/tight end from South Dakota. Was hoping we would go after a tall red zone threat receiver. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/797403/alex-wilde Quote
Sioux95 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Ya, but with the increased knowledge and availability of strength training, it still amazes me that so many kids don't give a crap about it until the summer after senior year. I really am at a loss of words for it. Seems a little harsh. some kids have a longer than average wingspan and that puts them at a significant disadvantage on the bench, some kids play 4 sports and don't have as much time to spend in the weight room. Some kids are more interested in girls than the weight room. If Bubba saw fit to offer him a PWO, and the kid is willing to take a PWO( no money) to try and make the team, I am happy as heck to have him on board. He, like almost everyone who commits out of highschool will need to get a lot stronger and we have coaches who can help with that. We have hit it big with players like this before - Jay somebody, played defensive end a couple of years ago. By the way, he hasn't accepted the PWO yet has he? Quote

Please don't even start with the wingspan is a disadvantage to bench pressing bs. So most people with short arms can bench more than bigger people? lol. People who are big and cant bench much don't work at it. Quote

Jay Nelsen also walked into Mussmans office built like a damn horse straight out of hs and asked for a tryout spot. Quote
siouxfan512 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 6'3'' and 235lbs but can only bench 205? This kid needs to find himself a weight room and fast! Yikes, I wrestled at 112 in high school and I was putting up close to that. Get the kid a program! Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I want this James Hendricks kid from Bemidji. Verballed to UMD but now holds some sort of offer from both us and NDSU. According to someone on bville, he will be deciding between NDSU and UMD sometime in late January. Hopefully we are still in the running, he looks like a good fit for what we want at QB. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 The D Zone@TheD_Zone 4h4 hours ago FH Harrison 2015 DE/RB/WR Iwarri Smith has in-home visit with North Dakota today. http://bit.ly/1wiDZw5 Quote
Csonked Out Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 What? You mean NDSU is in the running for a player recruited by a Division II school? Perish the thought! You really have a way of throwing this thread off topic Quote

jdub27 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Must be a decent recruit. I wonder which coach is there He's the kid that just got the PWO from Oregon correct? Quote
Hambone Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 He's the kid that just got the PWO from Oregon correct? Yes - big target for us as I understand it. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 You really have a way of throwing this thread off topic I have deleted it. Happy now? Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Yes - big target for us as I understand it. After watching his film, he's worth a home visit. He's a playmaker. Quote
gundy1124 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Must be a decent recruit. I wonder which coach is there Schmitty- Might hear something tonight good......or maybe heartbreak city. A PWO offer at Oregon is impressive, but I bet the student loans and cost of tuition would be 'impressive', too. Quote
