Confirmed: @Sean_Callahan: Congrats to Millard North LB/DE Jacob Matthew for committing to South Dakota State night. Great pick up for the Jacks. @jacob__matthew

Watching this kid's hudl tape, you can just see his strength. At FB, he runs over kids with the ball. He has great speed for a linebacker and is a hitter. Great get by the coaching staff! Coach Jackson continues his tear in NE!

Here is a link to Jacob's Hudl page.

Kid is a freight train. Interesting if he'll end up at DE or MLB. Has the size and speed to play either.

Re: 2016 Recruiting List

Yes a real freight train. I suspect he is a defense recruit. Love to see some running fullback plays. NDSU has some with No. 46 hurdling over tacklers for extra yardage. This guy would be our man if we were to go that way.

I actually watched him player earlier this season. Powerful young man. I think he projects to be an inside backer. Great offer list. Oh by the way, Van Ginkel selected Defensive Player of the Week.

good for Van Ginkel. Oh by the way we beat the #2 team in the country. I would rather have the latter of the two.

Re: 2016 Recruiting List

We've had an outstanding year so far out of Nebraska! There were a few early targets that blew up and went big time, but we've really done well locking up the next level of recruits from the Husker state. Jacob Matthew has been at the top of my list for recruits that we had a legit shot at getting. I thought for sure he was going to Ohio.

That being said, signing day is still 3 months away and recruits can change their mind. Case in point - we recruited Phoenix area QB Daniel Bridge-Gadd hard. He committed to New Mexico State over a month ago. Recently, Washington came with a late offer and he jumped ship.

Recruiting is fickle. Kids change their minds last minute, some don't pan out, and some Van Ginkel's prove that the staff can overlook talent in our own back yard. I still love how this class is developing!

In all honesty, Bulldog's constant discussion of players we don't have such as Van Ginkel annoys me to tears. Would I love to have the kid on our team, absolutely. But we don't have him on our team, oh well, how many players have USD missed on? The U of M missed on ZZ and Jake Wieneke. It is the way it works, and you have the kids you have and go with it. We have hit far more than we have missed, and for that I will always support our coaches.
Example, my cousin is Brock Swartos, RB/LB for Sioux Valley, he had a very good year. The last time I checked SDSU is not recruiting him. As much as I would like them to, I am going to trust the coaches to determine who is the best fit for the program at this time.

Who is this Van Ginkel you speak of?

You do know that we won't win every recruiting battle? You also must know that we won't be recruiting every kid that may end up being a very good player at USD? I'm pretty happy with the trajectory of our program. I will take what has happened in Brookings over USD any day of the week.

Shame on you! You don't know who Van Ginkel is. Wait till Saturday. He will be racking up sack after sack. He was not good enough to be a Jack so one of our staff told Bulldog.

Re: 2016 Recruiting List

And if you don't know Bulldog, he is a former Jackrabbit (player I believe), but he now coaches in NW Iowa. Bulldog believes the coaches are missing on talent in NW Iowa. We didn't offer a scholarship to a kid that walked on at Iowa who now starts and we didn't offer to Van Ginkel (who stars at USD) and I think there was another kid too. Does that describe the circumstances with Bulldog for those who have missed this two year saga? Oh also, he gets annoyed by Nidaros's comments about the Dutch.

I know who he is, I looked back through the thread and was just jabbing at Bulldog. I just would like some folks to not get so angry about recruiting. We miss some, we hit some out of the park. We have had some success in NW Iowa over the years. I recall a big one from the D2 days from Cherokee.

You were not around to see Larry "Bud" Korver from Orange City play. He was a good one, would be in his early 80's. A super guy,.who did his practice teaching at Brookings High.
