All quiet on the western front. 

Is that a good thing?

I was wondering the same thing.  I hope so.

 

[Hawkster]

Here's hoping for a good day tomorrow.   See who we get, figure out what we still need and finish off with the Feb LoI day.

Come on people, wake up.

That was an outstanding, informative layout that you did with the signees; included all pertinent information on each.  Thanks!

@UND Fan does a great job maintaining a list of recruits on the SiouxSports Wiki (https://wiki.siouxsports.com/doku.php).  So I've got to give him a shout out for making that list an easy copy and paste for me!

Looks like Danny Freund just recently started following two guys that could play Quarterback. Jayden Johannsen from Sioux Falls, he has some sort of offer from NDSU currently. Most recently Danny started following Hayden Ekern as well.  He is a Quarterback from St. Rita in Chicago and is committed to Montana St. 

https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/sports/bobcats/football/hs-coach-chicago-qb-s-msu-offer-rescinded-months-after/article_fb9d8a3a-2c40-5a0b-9442-b221a07da6c9.html

MSU pulled Ekern's offer. Can't imagine we'd be interested in a 49% passer with 1 td and 4 picks in 12 games. Sounds like he has potential at safety though.

I hadn't realized that Bucholz was a PWO.  Wiki has been updated.  

Therefore, we only utilized 17 scholarships.  We should have at least 5-6 still available.

The South Dakota kid has lots of potential I think. Danny also started following another kid from KC or somewhere like that 6'5" kid but he might be more of a Tight End prospect.

Matt Campbell from Fort Scott, KS might be getting some interest as QB or TE

Jayden Johannsen is the QB from South Dakota who might be receiving some interest as well

I know Campbell has the prototypical physical features you look for but Johannsen makes some great throws on the run. He's a bit unorthodox and probably turns the ball over quite a bit but he looks like a play maker.

The more I ponder these 23 the more I think I'm in agreement with those saying between now and February the focus should be:

- a QB straight from HS
- a true NG, preferably someone who could be in the rotation sooner than later 
- another safety (a JC transfer would work here)

Frankly, that's it. Focus on those needs. 

 

Disclaimer: I'm assuming there are no departures that create a need.

Through the first 8 games I'd have agreed.

I think he started to figure it out at the end. There are other positions I'm more concerned with.
