Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Looks like the Jacks have picked up another player

S - Justin Templeton, 6'0" 180 lbs, Phoenix, AZ (St. Mary's) http://bit.ly/wnzujP

Actually, scratch that:

It looks like we either stole this recruit from Dakota State or Rivals got confused because the following link shows that this player committed to DSU.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Congrats to South Dakota State for an incredible job of pulling in talent from across the country on this signing day. I had no idea they had such entrenched footprints in places like California and Arizona. Learned a great deal this past month.

Just wanted to follow up on the Clay twins from Maryland as they signed their LOI to play at Marist today. They never did receive an offer from SDSU which is quite understandable, this is how recruiting works. But the impression SDSU made on the Clay twins upon their official visit goes a long way for people in our part of the world that know nothing about the campus or football in this part of the country. Folks are now talking about the Jacks around here.

I run a non-profit organization that helps high school football athletes in our locality get to college, making sure the process is FREE to all students and parents. Western Maryland, Western PA and the WV panhandle is part of this region…very small towns in a very rural setting from Pittsburgh to Baltimore/DC. I am hoping the coaches keep an open mind to our area in the years that follow. Maybe if we can get a few of the Div 1 level local players all the way up to a summer camp the coaches might see that certain student-athletes would be more than happy to spend 4-5 years playing ball in Brookings.

Thanks for all the hospitality. This is a very pleasurable and informative forum.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

During live chat with Terry V he mentioned a non-verbal recruit may have followed Luke Meadows to FAU. I wonder if it may be this kid?

The 3 "surprise" signings that we didn't know about.

Davierre Cummins, 6-2, 260, defensive lineman, Vail, Ariz.;

Cummins earned first-team all-conference honors for Salpointe Catholic High School during his senior season in 2011. A team captain, he earned the squad's Defensive MVP Award after recording six sacks and 10 quarterback hurries. Cummins plans to major in general studies.

Offensively, he caught 56 passes for 1,124 yards and 10 touchdowns, and added seven interceptions and 10 pass breakups on the defensive side of the ball. Herndon also has won conference titles in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and is the school-record holder in the 400 meters. An all-academic selection, he plans to major in journalism and mass communication.


Rob Diané, 6-2, 230, defensive end, Plymouth, Minn.;

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Looks like we can cross Jeremy Timpf off the list, he commited to Army according to scout

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

If you sign with Army, do the same rules still apply that you have a military requirement post graduation - like the Admiral David Robinson had?

yes if you sign with 1 of the service academies you have a military requirement afterwards. This rule has gone back and forth a couple of times as for a certain amount of time their was an exception that if you had an unique skill you say sports or a great singer you could pursue it and be some what of a recruiter for your branch of the military, but they rescinded that exception a couple of years ago and actually pulled some professional athletes out of their respective sports. There was several minor league baseball players and even a player on the Detroit Lions that had to leave their teams.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

I cant wait to see all the kids sign. sounds like we got some really decent guys here good players and good size. Part of me cant stop but wonder who will be the future play maker or who makes the big sack on hobo days. Also I wonder who will not pan out and be gone after a year or two. Also who do we lose from this list tomorrow and who do we get that isnt on this list.
