UND-1 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 On 6/10/2016 at 8:26 AM, UND-1 said: Which is what I was saying, but some cannot comprehend. I wouldn't have wanted him to take UND's walk-on offer. What is the point? Camp season is coming up and I assume he will be attending NDSU, USD, SDSU, etc. Perform well at even one of them and they might throw a half-ride offer at you. Now the bar is set for the other schools if they are interested. To take a walk-on before camp season seems very, very strange considering he could take that walk-on in the fall or winter. Plus, why would NDSU offer him anything now, they already got him. Like I stated above, stupid decision for Gibbs and he just decommitted after finally getting an offer from a SD MVFC school. NDSU strong-armed him into committing to PWO and then never offered. Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he strung NDSU along and wanted to make sure the PWO offer from NDSU was still there in case he didn't get a scholarship offer. My guess is Bubba has made a PWO offer or two already and if one of the those commirred he wouldn't decline it. Get off your high the everything Bubba does is Christ-like and everything Klieman does is bush league. Anybody that has met Klieman knows differently. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree with your first part. I said then the kid short-changed himself. Your second part, however, I have to wonder why the kid took the PWO. What was said to him then? None of us know for sure.

There's a big difference between mid June and mid August. 2. There's a difference between a kid with a lot of interest from other schools being strong armed into a decision and a kid with no other offers deciding UND is where he wants to get his degree. If you aren't getting any interest from other schools by mid August, you take what's been offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me where I said that. What I said is taking a PWO early is short changing yourself and we don't know what else was said, in either case.

The kid was obviously only going to get either a UND offer or NDSU offer and UND was the only one he got. The South Dakota schools aren't going all the way up to Hallock for anybody, let alone a walk-on. So he wisely took it. Camp season is over, also. No more proving your self in person. D2 money offers will probably come in later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both early PWO commits are a little puzzling to me- logistically UND's makes a little more sense, but I put it in the 'soft verbal' catagory.

Who is to say he doesn't have a great season and blow up and get future offers? Why commit to a PWO before your senior season? He wasn't forced to make a choice or lose his shot before going to camps at other schools and has a good feel for what interest there may or may not be, which can not be said in some other instances. Huge difference between committing before and after summer camps. As already stated, it is more of a "soft verbal" and it wasn't a take it or leave it situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 This is kind of fun to look at. I think it highlights a couple of things. First - how far video recording has come in the past eight years. Second - how much better our recruits are now. There were a few really good players in the 2008 class but many of them were not D1 level. The biggest difference now is our level of coaching and player development and that the players are all in now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
