A little concerned we aren't hearing more here. Any thoughts on when we might see some more kids giving their verbals?

I'm going negative in an attempt to eat crow, a little reverse jinx situation. There have been two points during this recruiting cycle where I felt real momentum. (1) Teiken commit (2) Saturday night of Camp #3. Both times nothing happened following that. The last two commits have been incredibly underwhelming. It's just really hard for me to get excited over a late one offer guy. These guys have been camping with no other offers. With only 9 commits so far, 2 is an ok chunk of that. I feel like the wind was completely taken out of the sails. Here's hoping a game changer comes soon.

Pretty sure there is some good news on the OL side of things that should come out soon enough.

Meh, I trust our coaches. They’ve done well the last few years in particular. If they believe in a guy and the other I29 schools don’t that's fine. The cream always rises regardless of other offers.

Especially when the offers are coming because they got to see them perform in person at a camp.

You must have known something, he just committed.

There we go! Great commit! From what I can tell 3 other FCS offers, SDSU, WIU, SEMO.

[UNDColorado]

This kid looks like he can pack on more weight while remaining athletic. 

[SkoHawks]

This class is bound to be smaller given the extra eligibility year so I'm pleased with how it's shaping up so far. Let's close it out with a majority of Hegerle, Larson, Schweigert, a QB (a must every year), RB, WR(if not Hegerle),  and a big bad NG.

I’d like the RB from Holy Angels.

The kid may become a great FCS O Lineman. But he looks like he will need to lose some weight and put on better weight before he plays much.

Jamal Dixon is taller than I expected, and has a solid handshake for a teenager.

And another two:

OT Rex Johnson, 6’5”, 280, Logan (Logan-Magnolia), IA. Has offer from NDSU

LB Nathaniel Staehling, 6’3”, 205, Brainard (Brainard), MN

Johnsen will go to WY.

[sioux24/7]

Have to imagine we hear from Hegerle soon. I believe he wanted to make a decision before the season started. 

[siouxfan512]

A little disappointing how quiet the recruiting front has been lately. Win them, or lose them I would like to hear some answers on Hegerle, Larson and a few others.

Given the offers that are out right now, I don't actually hate the wait and see game. One thing over the years I've noticed is that UND tends to finish pretty strong on their recruiting classes. Hope that trend continues. 

[AJS]

Re: Hegerle. Definitely third hand information, but I've heard UND has a real shot. Not predicting it, but they are in the mix. The speculation part now completely is he's clearly waiting / hoping to see some bigger offers. If the offers stand as they do today, I think they have as good of a shot as any.

I would agree with this. We have tended to finish strong in recent years.

Lakes head would literally explode  I'd love to hear his excuse if UND landed Hegerle over the Bison.

He’s more outraged that the don’t have many 3 star prospects and kids with FBS offers.

his excuse for our Moorhead recruits is that Moorhead is soft and that they are not tough so I guess they will have to show the Bison what soft is!

From what I understand, your info is good!!

Midco has Hegerle as their pre-season player of the year.

At least two more offers yesterday:

RB Mack Owens, 6'2", 200, 4.8, Aurora (Aurora), NE  Has offer from ID St

DE Kendis Ledbetter, 6'1", 240, Sioux Falls (Washington), SD

 

Owens to USD. That's a tough recruiting loss. Location was going to play against UND, but still. If the other offers are USD and ID St, you need to win that one.

On the flip side, if the only other offers are USD and IdSU, is it that big of a loss?
