Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Appears we are pretty far down the priority list even though we are the only school to offer.

It's early but we'll see if he gets an offer from his top 3 schools (Minnesota, IA ST & Harvard)

They're not the easiest schools to get an offer from. If he doesn't, than it should fall between us and the other area FCS schools. It's good to see that he enjoyed his visit.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Some nice bits from the Q & A with RB Larson

http://www.gopherhole.com/modules.ph...ticle&sid=1385

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...-Larson-122287

GH: How does that feel getting your first offer?

AL: It’s totally good. I was really impressed with South Dakota State and their coaches and their whole team and motivation. It was really cool. I liked their spring game and how they play football. It was overall, a really good trip.


GH: What schools are you hearing from right now?

AL: My top five probably would be Minnesota, Iowa State, North Dakota State, South Dakota State and Harvard. There is probably ten other schools that I am hearing from, but overall, I think that it is between Minnesota, Harvard and Iowa State. Those are my top three.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Google sez he has a brother playing linebacker at Iowa State, just made a visit to Kansas State, won the Missouri big-school championship, he goes to Lee's Summit West, which is actually way down south in Lee's Summit (Missouri folks apparently have some problems with that directionality thing . . . Missouri Western is in St. Joseph, which is in the northwest, Northwest Missouri is in Maryville, which is in the WAY WAY northwest, Central Missouri is in Warrensburg, which is pretty far west to be "central,", Missouri Southern is in Joplin, which is in the far southwest corner, way more to the southwest than Missouri State which used to be Southwest Missouri, etc., etc. but I digress), I'm way up north in Lee's Summit (think approximately Tea vs. Brandon around Sioux Falls in terms of distance).

so what your saying is it's pretty darn close...

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

No South Dakota kids yet? Who are the most likely candidates in-state?

A few of the top players in the state in my opinion off the top of my head are Trey Naasz from SF Lincoln 6'2 200 WR, Devon O'Farrell SF Washington 5'10 205 LB, Sam Steffl SF O'Gormon 6'2 210 LB, and Davonte Clay SF Washington 5'9 180 RB.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

I would say pipe dream as of now as long as meadows calls the plays and the Off. maybe Eidness is bringing in a new style but it would not seem to be the option I think coaches would go first.

I'm actually a fan of the "pro-style" offense, myself. Helps the running game to have the extra blockers in there. And having an effective running game helps the passing game.

We're not Florida, Texas, Oklahoma...who can recruit the elite athletes and put them out in space where the defense can't keep up with them.

I was just wondering if they were leaning that way.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Offering alot of "dualthreat" qb's.
I know we offer alot of qbs, because they can play WR/Safety/Etc...

But I can't help wondering?

Is this a step toward running more spread, and spread option stuff?

Gandy ran almost exclusively out of the gun, from his Highlight video.

Thoughts?
