siouxfan512 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 So when should we expect to start hearing of more commitments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Fan Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Probably not until after the Elite Camps (June 23 and July 23). Last year, there were 8 commitments very shortly after the July camp - which I think is the more important one of the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for any kid anywhere to accept a preferred walk-on spot before their senior year. It does nothing for the kid and it may decrease the chance he will receive a scholarship from the offering school or from another school. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A verbal commitment is only worth the paper it's written on. Recruiting doesn't stop after a verbal. The bar has now been set at "offer a scholarship or I'm going to fargo." It does certainly reduce/eliminate the chance of ndsu offering a scholarship without being forced to by his de-committment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a problem for him because his dream seems to involve playing for ndsu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Local prospect looking for offer: http://www.scout.com/college/north-dakota-state/story/1676208-hankey-hoping-state-offer Reveals interesting perspective that may relate to this generation of local student-athletes (consider South Dakota Gibbs committing early to NDSU) : "At the NDSU spring game and junior day, they had me in the tight end / fullback group, but they said they hadn't ruled out linebacker yet. Most of the other schools I would say are looking at me as primarily a linebacker. An NDSU offer would mean a lot as I've always been a big Bison fan and to get an offer from a team who has won the last 5 FCS national championships would be a real honor. It's hard to say what I would do if that offer came as it would be very tough to not commit right away, but I'd like to keep my options open a little bit."

Football fan Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Even SD is happy for Gibbs about his commit....media loves him. He got sound byte of the year too after his team won the state championship. Some phrase about his wedding day wouldn't be be any better than that...apologizes to his future wife.

Not real surprising there are reports by local media on it. Still doesn't change the point it was an extremely odd timing for PWO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxSioux Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Not UND related or even 2017, but I thought this was interesting.... Check Out the 8th Grade QB Who Just Got His First SEC Offer Quote A quarterback who is more than a year removed from his first day of high school has picked up an SEC offer. The 6-4, 190-pound Aaron McLaughlin will eventually play for North Gwinnett High. He wasn't offered by the Georgia Bulldogs, he is based in the state and could definitely make a lot of noise in the coming years. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article seems a little slanted which being from an SU site should be no surprise. Title mentions he's hoping for a UND or NDSU offer but article talks exclusively about ndsu. He had to have spoke about UND with a title like that. My guess is the UND quotes were left off the story. Regardless I love this kids tape and feel he's the type of tough hard nose ND kid the staff should be on. Hope to see him in Kelly Green in the fall of 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
