2017 UND Recruiting

[MadScout03]

Ok, that makes more sense. I didn't see DE being a big need so I was surprised to see a late offer out there.

Anyone have any insite on Colten Heasenflow?   Looking at some recent activity and his Twitter page is he a commit?   I'm not even sure on the year.

Good question - he just graduated from Scripps Ranch HS in San Diego.  He is 6'4", 230 DE.  Looking at his twitter account, he has a picture of the UND FB sign on the Alerus with the caption "University of North Dakota '20 Football".  I have no idea what that means.  Coach Gigli was following him at one time (maybe still is).

[geaux_sioux]

Maybe he's some type of walk on?

RS in 16 and play 17-20.  He's probably talking in football seasons not the year he graduates.

Or he "plans" to graduate in 4 years.... Not uncommon for kids to list 4 years out as their expected graduating class year.

Great list.   I would have to add one to that :

6'2" 190, Leif bungum, 4.4 

he has all the tools.   Fantastic athlete!!   If memory serves me right he surpassed  50 total tds last yr.

Hmm, not tall and doesn't appear to have blazing speed either.  What do you see there?  Quickness?

He ran pretty fast a Nike Combine this spring.  Not sure what that means but he tested well.

K, I just didn't see him really breaking away on most plays and on one the kicker almost caught him from behind so I had some doubts.  We do need another smaller, quick, slot receiver though.

I thought that kicker was a burner myself.  I think the WR has elite speed. He outruns some angles that most guys wouldn't even try

I'm not sold on him. He definatly isn't 4.4 speed at this point. Not even close. When I watch HS safeties I watch their film then watch Cole Reyes' HS film to compare. Maybe this kid is a stud and I'm blind but I just don't see it yet. I thought the safety on my list looked better. But that is as a junior and things can really change for them as seniors. Recruiting is so inexact that it's impossible to actually know. At this point I don't see where the hype came from with this kid.

Hudl has him as 4.48 speed, that's where I got my info.  He has very long strides that are misleading in the fast or quickness eye test.  Again, I have no idea on his speed, just relaying what hudl had posted.   

By what I could tell it looks like plays cb not safety on defense.   On offense rb /wr. 

The position he would look best in at und would be wr.

Great name for sure. Hudl has him listed as 6'7" 280lbs. I assume it was a typo but you had my questioning a 235lb string bean at OT.

Nice highlight film though. Kid has a motor, and just wants to hit people.

Wiki corrected - it should have been 285.

Long strides for sure but he should be able to burn by people of he has the speed they list. Sean Taylor had very long strides but he would blow past people.
