It would be nice if we were getting guys with more competing offers. There can only be so many diamonds in the rough.

It would be nice to know just what kind of offers our guys had before they committed.   The Wiki page doesn't show what our commits had from other schools.   I kinda lost track on this thread but I do remember one guy had a Kent State offer and one had something from UNI and I think there were some from the military academies.   Are those the only biggies?

Does Wiki even show all the offers we have put out there?

Keep them coming! I've said before and I do mean it that either this coaching staff is above average talent evaluators or above average coaches. They seem to put very competitive products on the field without (as subjective at the FCS level as it is) winning the "recruiting rankings". 

My thought process has changed over the years, my hope now going into the recruiting season is they get as many commitments as they can during the early portion of the recruiting season (June / July). Guys that they see in person and offer early. Five so far in June is really solid.

Repost. 

Everyone is with @geaux_sioux that you'd like to see more competing offers. From an optimism standpoint though, see the post on 06/27. To me that early period will last until Fall camp. Looking at commits with no or limited competing FCS offers. Each individual will be different, but we don't know where they rank (i.e. Tier) of the other Dakota's / MVFC teams. By this point, I would think schools would be onto Tier 2 / 3 of recruits. Let's use recent offer William Paepke as an example. UND offers him after the Saturday camp (07/16). Keenan Wilson commits to NDSU later on that day (07/16). SDSU (and UND) had offers out to Wilson. SDSU offers Paepke on 07/18. That could just be a coincidence, but you get the point. We don't know where some of these guys were tiered at other schools. 

The next couple weeks are crucial for UND to get 2 or 3 more from the most recent offer list. What I don't want to see is a late surge like last year. At that point, I think you have really worked your way down the tiers of offers.

With the popularity of the transfer portal…recruiting has become a 24/7/365 process. I know we are talking new recruits here but many are still shifting around with transfers….

Just keep ‘em coming!!!! Go Sioux 2022!

Wiki is up to date on current offers. I had been removing other offers committed players had, I can put those back up. 
 

Wiki gets updated as soon as I can manage, thanks to those who remain patient until I can edit it.

Thank you.   I can about imagine how much work it is to keep Wiki up to date right now

Alot of top guys used to wait til the end to commit but that seems to have changed drastically in the last handful of years. I think kids are starting to prefer committing and then enjoying their senior season.

Thanks, HH - you are doing a great job!  It is a lot of work and very time-consuming!

To me committing before senior year makes sense. It's insurance against an injury that could get you quickly off the radar.

That, and I'm sure a few figure if they have an outstanding senior year and something better comes along they can flip.   It's sad that it happens but it does.

Looks like you have them all.  Your list has 13 which includes Boll.

@Hamboneis Boll targeted at a position or is he a nice local option? What's book on him?

Looks good at LB per his tape.

suspect he plays defense at LB for UND, could be flexible between ILB and OLB to start.

Shucks.

I was hoping for the radio call: "this running offense is Boll-ing the defense over".

Nice local option? Naw, kid has some raw strength and talent. State wrestling champ at 195 and a solid two way player in football. Will probably line up on the defensive side of the ball (inside /outside LB). 

EDIT* His Aunt was a STAND OUT BBALL player for UND in the late 90's/early 2000's.
