An opportunity to attend West Point is difficult to pass up. It is one of the best institutions of higher education in the world. At the time he committed, Army was nationally ranked.

Jake is a very good athlete with good upside. It will be interesting to see where they will use him. Great get. It would be interesting to see if his brother would join him here for a year or two. He has lots of FBS interest so doubtful. 

I was looking at that too. His brother appears to be big time ... but good to make that connection now, because you never know if a kid will transfer down or not.

Would be tough to get him out of HS given some of the offers he's getting but never rule out things not working at a P4 and him wanting a chance to play with his brother for a year or 2....

Very encouraging to see UND pull a couple high level recruits from the Fargo area (Wunderlich - Casselton, Starcevic - Kindred).

I heard Luke turned down an invite to an LSU Camp, exposure is already there Nationally.

We seem to have recruited an "11" package on offense, 2 of 3 specialist positions (K, LS), and a whole-lotta "in the box" guys on D ... no disrespect to the 2 CBs.

I am normally not the warm fuzzys type of guy based on a recruiting class that has never stepped on the field at UND, but this list is doing it for me.  Likely some roster clean-up coming and nothing personal, but got to expect some JYD movement.

With the apparent talent coming in and returning I hope our assistant coaches are up to the standards we need to develop them to their fullest. Sometimes I wonder about certain folks.

I don’t know for sure on Headings or Harris but I guess I would be surprised if they’re signing with us during this period. Think we would have waited for the release until all were signed.

I tend to agree but there have been late additions on signing day in the past.
