Re: 2017 Recruiting List

You can sign as many as you want each year - there is no limit on that. Again, as long as you stay under 63/85. He likely isn't paying this semester. There is likely a scholarship open for one reason or another.

You can only sign 30 a year to scholarship, PWO and the such don't technically sign any aid papers just commitment papers to the program for photo ops on signing day...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_D...ip_Subdivision

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

Looks like Mitch Van Beek from Rock Rapids (I think) is part of the class as well. PWO?

Are you sure about that?

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

I read somewhere that Fleck, the new Gopher coach has talked with Mafe. They speculated it would be for a PWO - so he may not be making a decision for awhile to see how things shake out.

I have a strong feeling Fleck could become a thorn in the sides of the MVFC schools that recruit Minnesota. I feel like he's an anti-Brewster.

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

Fleck, like Brewster, seems to be a really good recruiter and flings a line of BS. Hopefully, he can actually coach, which Brewster had problems with.

I feel like it's already been proven that Fleck can coach since he completely turned around WMU. And he's going to focus on kids in Minnesota, something Brewster wanted nothing to do with.

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

Again... this class looks great right now! We'll ultimately judge them in 3-4 years but man I like this class a lot. Lots of size and athleticism. If we can get Boye Mafe that would be pretty sweet but I am guessing we are probably done. Maybe that receiver from UNI who had his offer rescinded/not rescinded. I'm sure there will be a few more PWO that join in before signing day.

This, Fleck is ground up, grassroots kind of guy. He completely embraced Kalamazoo while at WMU and I see him doing it in the Cities and Minnesota as well.

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

He's small but he's a baller! Wow!

Remind anyone of Aannonsen (sp?) from a few years back. Love how he takes on a couple of much bigger players on the sideline in the highlights of what appears to be game against W. Lyon- one with a stiff arm and another with the shoulder pads.

Where's Bulldog when we need a breakdown?

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

His hudl page. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/3187614/...752030e8782f42

Finally got around to watching this, kid can play for sure.

Love that he isn't afraid to come up and make a tackle on defense and doesn't avoid contact on offense. Very explosive with the ball in his hands. Wonder what position he is coming in as, if it's receiver wish there was more footage of him running routes, as most of the receiver highlights was him catching screens or bombs.

Reminds me of Dayton Byrd from Brookings who we signed as a PWO a couple years ago. I thought he had a real chance as a return specialist, but for whatever reason he opted to not stick it out with the team.

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

Van Beek is probably the toughest pound for pound football player I've seen. He has no fear. Very explosive in the return game. I'd project him as a guy who could be a gunner on punts, return punts and kicks, and maybe down the road be a player that could play on third downs. His weight and size will impact him from being an every down player. He's a pretty good wrestler and might play a part in keeping his weight down. My guess is he'll come in at 155-160 lbs. I really thought the Central Lyon that you'd be getting is the Van Wyhe kid. I know there was an offer and then it was pulled. I've heard UNI is recruiting him hard, but waiting to hear on his decision. SDSU is making a mistake not coming after him. He's got good size and speed. I think everyone is questioning his position. I think he's got to be a backer or WR/TE type of guy. SDSU still a little scarce up in this neck of the woods. USD and NDSU snooping around here more often. I thought Leutjens from Rock Valley would get an offer. Skies the limit on him as a DE/TE prospect. He committed to the Coo over the weekend. NDSU really likes several 2018 athletes from the area. I think you'll see 3 or 4 early offers from what their coaches are saying.
