UND92,96 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Rumor is Campbell is headed for Minnesota State-Mankato, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet. Rosemeyer's final 5 are Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, Winona State and UW-La Crosse. Lyght had an official visit to Minnesota State-Mankato this past weekend and said he is likely going to end up there. Heard Lloyd may have committed to Wayne State, but haven't been able to confirm that either. I can't help but be a bit suspicious of how Mankato is getting all these commitments while simultaneously trying to get down to 24 scholarships? Plus, they didn't even have a coach for most of recruiting season. One would think that players like Bauer and Campbell (and probably Lyght) would have had better options. Something doesn't quite add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooToo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm surprised, too, by the possible commitments of some of the Wisconsin players. No slight to Mankato, but it makes me wonder if UND "interest" failed to translate into UND "offer" in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No slight to Mankato, but it makes me wonder if UND "interest" failed to translate into UND "offer" in some cases. As far as we know, the only definite offers to Wisconsin kids that were turned down were by Ewing and Cavil. So I tend to agree that many of the kids who UND was reportedly interested in were never actually offered. I suppose it's hard to say for certain, though.

Hambone Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Looks about right, Hammer. I'm excited to see what the recruiting class brings! Looks like we have a very solid class thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SooToo Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 For anyone who might be interested, coach Mussman is scheduled to be on the Dan Hammer Show, 740 AM on your radio dial, at 1 p.m. CST today to discuss this year's recruiting class. Streaming audio feed is available via their website, 740thefan.com. Sounds like there should be some new names to kick around, given the GF Herald report today of an expected signing class of 16-20 players. I noticed Mussman said they "learned a few lessons" on the recruting trail this year. That might be interesting, too. Finally, I see the Star-Trib article referenced by '92, '96 fails to list several NDSU verbals. Probably an oversight. Sure hope they haven't suffered some "decommits," too.

choyt3 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Poaching recruits just part of game. This story pertains to Colorado University, but is along the lines of the discussion last week regarding binding verbal commitments and coaches still contacting those players.

UND92,96 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 One thing I wish the Herald would have done (assuming the coaches would allow it) is have a live blog as the LOI's roll in. The Sioux Falls Argus Leader is doing that, at least for Augie and SDSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersioux Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Does anyone know if they have a press conference scheduled today to announce all of recruits, similiar to the one at REA last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Regarding Andrew Anderson from Crookston, according to Frank Fee's column, the dI schools who had been showing some interest in him (possibly including UND?) evidently wanted him to walk-on. His only official visits were to SCSU and UMD. He's going to SCSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92,96 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Here's the list. Cameron sounds like a very good punter/kicker. Apparently Oregon State had considerable interest in him at one time. Overall, there weren't many surprises. Only Cameron, Gillson and Lynch hadn't been talked about before on this board. And there were no more de-commits.

GeauxSioux Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The need for offensive line has clearly been met. Wow, those are some good sized guys. I wonder who else is coming, as it sounded like this list is not yet complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who else is coming, as it sounded like this list is not yet complete. No kidding. McGurran is the "runt" at 6'4", 265. And he'll probably put on 30 pounds or so in the next few years.

Cameron is the son of long-time Winnipeg Blue Bombers punter Bob Cameron. I am told that he is very good, and can kick as well. Will be interesting to hear if he does both. Can't wait to compare his and Obarski's numbers the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxCrew11 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well I'm very happy with the class! For a first year of D1 recruiting class I'd say it's surpassed my expectations! I'm especially pleased in how we beefed up our OL, DL, and LBs. Of the group do you think there will be anyone who doesn't redshirt? Maybe rosario will follow in kuper's footsteps? I love this class and I would love to see how it stacks up to NDSU's 1st year of D1 recruiting class. Anyone know how to get ahold of that list? I think we will be able to run the ball proficiently next year and make a run at a GWFC championship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have all learned over the past 10-15 years, they got every player they wanted and had a superb class. Just leave it at that. I really like UND's class on paper, obviously it would have been nice to keep the guys that de-committed but there is nothing you can do about it. I think Coach Mussman did a great job holding it together and adding a couple extras also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yote 53 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 You can also follow what i s going on down South at USD's blog at the Argus http://blogs.argusleadermedia.com/sports/category/usd/ Looks like you guys got some beef coming. NLI day is kinda like getting plant seeds for Christmas. you're all excited, but you don't really know what you got yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersioux Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 All things considered, this is a solid class. Throw in a coaching change and we have to be pleased. The only complaint could be the number (16 is fairly small) but I will take quality of quantity any day. I wonder if we will see a couple more additions in the next week or two.
