All I can say is the kid picked the right school.

He is probably thinking, I'm glad I didn't pick NDSU. What kind of fan's do they have there? They sound like a bunch of cry babies.

All you are doing is making this kid feel even better about his choice. thanks for the plug.

It's hard to pick NDSU when they didn't offer. :D Unless he wanted to be a walk on.

From the above referenced article:

Heimler chose North Dakota over interest from Wisconsin, North Dakota State and Minnesota-Duluth.

Is this info the truth?

Unless you are a member of the NDSU coaching staff, Bison Dan, you have no idea if they asked him to walk on or if NDSU's interest garnered a scholarship offer. (It would be pretty scary for NDSU if you are a member of the coaching staff. :D )

This article shows that NDSU had shown interest. Pretty tough to dispute that since it is right there. The extent of that interest isn't known, but from the article it is pretty difficult to assume that he was asked to walk on. Unless you have the magic superpowers of a poster named Bison Dan. ;)

It's pretty standard rhetoric on these high school recruiting websites that "interest" means no offer yet.

It would have said "offers" from Wisconsin, NDSU and UMD if they were actually offers. NDSU already has a commitment from the 2nd best receiver in Minnesota. I'm guessing they are going to be pretty selective if they bring in another receiver.

It would also be hard for this kid to pick NDSU since he wants to be a Medical Doctor. He probably heard that U.S. News and World Report has ranked UND's School of Medicine and Health Sciences as one of the top schools in the nation for its reputation in rural medicine. He probably also heard that President Bush picked Lloyd K. Everson, M.D., one of the founders and vice chairman of US Oncology, to the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB). Dr. Everson earned a BS in Chemistry in 1965 and a BS in Medicine in 1967 from the University of North Dakota. Maybe Mr Heimler has similar aspirations.

Of course, he could have also heard that UND ranks in the top 100 public universities, according to the Washington Monthly and is also listed among the best national universities by U.S. News & World Report.

He might have also heard about the more than 700 Presidential Scholars at UND.

Or that UND ranks among the top 10 most entrepreneurial schools in the nation, according to a report by Entrepreneur Magazine and the Princeton Review.

Maybe he'll change his mind and want to be an attorney and he heard that the UND School of Law has been ranked the third "most wired" law school in the nation, according to "The National Jurist" magazine.

He probably also heard that 96 percent of UND Law School grads pass the Minnesota Bar Exam on their first try. This is an almost unheard of pass rate.

He might have heard about Ronald Davies - former federal judge who ordered the integration of Little Rock Central High School. Maybe he'd like to have a high school named after him like Mr. Davies.

Or maybe he won't go into medicine or law and decide to graduate from the top Aerospace program in the country. He might want to try and win another National Championship with the University of North Dakota flying team. Or he might want to be a NASA Mission Specialist like Karen Nyberg.

He might want to be a Pulitzer Prize winner like Maxwell Anderson, or a Rhodes Scholar like Thomas McGrath.

You never know, he might decide he doesn't want to be a Medical Doctor, Lawyer, NASA Mission Specialist, Federal Judge or a Top Gun and instead get into Politics and perhaps be the Governor of North Dakota or a U.S. Congressman or Senator like:

Fred G. Aandahl - former governor of North Dakota and former U.S. Congressman

Dick Armey - former United States House of Representatives Majority Leader

John E. Davis - former governor of North Dakota

Byron Dorgan - current U.S. Senator for North Dakota

Lynn Frazier - former governor of North Dakota and former U.S. Senator for North Dakota

William Langer - former governor of North Dakota and former U.S. Senator for North Dakota

John Moses - former governor of North Dakota and former U.S. Senator for North Dakota

Ragnvald A. Nestos - former governor of North Dakota

Allen I. Olson - former governor of North Dakota

Earl Pomeroy - current U.S. Representative for North Dakota

Ed Schafer - former governor of North Dakota

Maybe Mr. Heimler was out in New York and saw when they had full page articles in the NY Times about the 7 time National Champion Fighting Sioux, or another time when they had a full two page article on the "school on the prairie". He might have been on a United Airlines flight and saw a large article on the UND Hockey team with front cover picture. He might have picked up the Wall Street Journal and saw a large article about the University of North Dakota. He might have read about the last North Dakota University to win a football National Championship. Maybe he wants to be ultra rich like another former UND football player became last October and sell his business for $1.6 Billion in cash. Or maybe he wants to be ultra rich like another former Fighting Sioux athlete and then give the school $104 Million to build a palace on the prairie.

I'm only scratching the surface here but I think even a Ag College guy can start to get the picture. This just isn't possible if you pick the AC.

No, I'm sticking with the retractable roof stadium. I'm guessing he didn't know about one thing in your post.

Maybe that's why UND coaches decided to "move up" the construction date of that stadium on the recruiting trail. They were using the "Rick" script of recruiting pitches and it wasn't working. That list of "famous" alums must knock their socks off. I'm thinking you would have had to live in North Dakota at least 40 years to know who half of those people are.

Or it just could be that even high school football coaches in Alaska tell there athelete's parents that UND had the best damn facilities in DII and from his point of view will be in the top 10 of D1 FCS.

WOW I'm so impressed. (All universities can list a set of accomplishments) The fact that you had to actually do it, well I won't go there. Just one question ricky - If everything is so wonderfull why has your enrollment been declining for the last few years?

HONESTLY.

If you have never been to a UND football recruitment weekend, please don't post about it. You don't know what is said, you don't know what the recruits see, you have no way of knowing what goes on.

There are a lot of things I have never been to, and I don't post about them because I have nothing educated to say or anything of value to add to the conversation.

I have been able to witness a UND football recruitment weekend and I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that the coaches did not tell any recruit that the retractable roof stadium will be built in the short term. It is something that is planned for when (and if) the football attendance outgrows the Alerus.

Can this please end?

That's good.

So now it seems likely that Mr. Heimler acted on his own with his misleading quotes.

If he would just admit it, this thing is done.

I think I've missed something in the translation. "Who" is he supposed to admit "what" to?

Mr. Heimler you don't have to say a word. This guy doesn't even belong on this board.

Why he wants to post here is anybodies guess. Know one must like him on the Bison board is my guess. :D

Anyone who wants to talk about the Sioux is more than welcome here, diversity of opinion keeps the discussions interesting (as long as they can be expressed respectfully).

That said, the dead horse keeps neighing only because we all keep kicking it. (Quite a metaphor, eh?)

Among those visiting this weekend were apparently Osseo RB Marcus Sims, Maple Grove RB-LB Ethan Magstadt, Minneapolis DeLaSalle DL Devin Benjamin and Jon Heimler, who has been discussed previously on this board.

According to a poster on the minnesotapreps board, Sims has committed to USD. It will be interesting to see whether they project him as a RB, because I believe UND was recruiting him as a DB.

Is UND recruiting Jordan Anderson, OL/DL 290 6'3", from Northern Freeze (Newfolden)? That seems to be implied by a Minnesota Prep poster. He was all-state Minnesota in 9-man.

I'm not sure, but I'd say the chances are good. I have a feeling UND will sign a couple more offensive linemen, and Jordan Anderson and Andrew Anderson (Crookston) would appear to be good candidates to fill out this already nice group. That's strictly a guess, however.
