UND1983 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Bison fans just can't admit that they offered Zeke Ott. Even their mouthpiece #2 Uglem is lying about it. Waiting for mouthpiece #1 to chime in..... Quote

Waiting for mouthpiece #1 to chime in..... Funny. I don't really care if they offered him or didn't, but the folks that say he was offered by NDSU are fairly reliable sources....... Also saying they only offered JJ a PWO - I thought I heard they offered him some money although not sure how much. Quote

Dagger Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 The Reynolds kid from West Fargo had an offer of some sort from NDSU too. Heard that from a very reliable source too. They won't believe any of this in Fargo. Quote

Recruiting even at its highest levels can be a crap shoot, but when you get to the FCS ranks 90% of the players aren't even on the radar for most national recruiting gurus. It would be interesting to see how this list was compiled. 1 Quote

Anything before that his pure and utter speculation. Typically, (not always) these lists are thrown together by morons with a monetary goal in mind. 2 Quote

Sioux95 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I heard PJ Fleck from Minnesota this morning on the radio and he was talking about how he would prefer a lower rated player with the right attitude over a higher-rated player with the wrong attitude. I think this is the margin that Bubba will do a really good job working and even though our recruiting classes have been good under him, I think they will outperform a lot of higher-rated classes. 2 Quote
Sioux95 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Does anyone know of a website that rates recruiting classes after the players finish their college careers? Quote

Tangolou Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Does anyone know where Quintin Seguin (the DE from Canada) ended up? I had heard that his coach thought he should go FBS. The Canadian football website still lists him as a North Dakota commit. Quote

With that said, the top teams should be at least labeled as having the "top recruiting classes" from four years prior. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Just for the heck of it, you can see UND's classes improved significantly once Bubba and his staff arrived at UND: 2012 recruiting class players that contributed in 2016: QB Ryan Bartels, TE Joe Mollberg, TE Luke Matthewson, DL Alec Carrothers, LB Brian Labat, LB Taj Rich, LB Jake Hanson 2013 recruiting class players that contributed in 2016: OL Dan Bell, OL AJ Stockwell, OL Matt Cox, FB Kyle Norberg, LB Connor O'Brien, LB Jake Disterhaupt, S Cole Reyes 2014 recruiting class players that contributed in 2016: QB Studsrud, TE Luke Fiedler, TE/OL Jacob Francis, OL Adam Stiner, OL Demon Taylor, DL Brandon Dranka, DL Drew Greeley, DL Tank Harris, LB Dylan Bakker, S Charles Flowers, CB Deion Harris, LS Jacob Holmen, K Reid Taubenheim, OL Grant Aplin, FB Tyler Coyne, WR Luke Stanley 2014 > 2013 > 2012 I won't include the 2015 class, but obviously there are a bunch of very good contributing players from that class, as well. There was a lot of attrition from the 2012 and 2013 classes, partially due to a coaching change but also due to poor recruiting. Bubba's 2014 and 2015 classes (and even the 2016 class) won the Big Sky Conference in 2016, so I would rank the 2014 and 2015 classes as top 15 in the FCS for those respective years. 2016 class remains to be seen (based on how 2017, 2018, 2019, and even 2020 go) and obviously the same for the recent 2017 class. If Bubba and the staff maintain their trajectory, UND should be signing a top 15 FCS class every season. I recently saw Hero sports (http://herosports.com/news/fcs-recruiting-top-50-recruiting-classes-2017) ranked UND as having the 26th ranked class in 2017. Obviously I'm biased, but I feel UND should have a way higher ranking than that. Only time will tell, I guess. Obviously, performance is based on not only the players (which is largest factor, though) but also the coaching and schemes. Bubba has UND on pace to be an annual top 10 FCS program, hands down, and I believe the recruiting classes should reflect that. Quote
