Any updates on recruits attending the playoff game?

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

This has probably already been asked but is our Greenfield commit any relation to USD's Greenfield?

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Is there a knock against Pottebaum? The guy was mowing people down every game last year and was all over the highlights. I guess I was expecting more interest on him. Or maybe he had more interest and narrowed it to these schools?

I've seen both Snyder and Pottebaum play 4 games each of the past two season. I saw them vs. the #1 team in a class above them and those two were a two headed monster on offense. Snyder beat us with his legs and arm and Pottebaum comes down hill as hard as I've seen a runner come down hill. Not great hips, but extremely powerful. Mike or possibly a DE. He's about 6'2" 235. His only offensive positions would be a fb or a between the tackles down hill running back. Snyder is bigger and stronger than his older brother. He's also a much better thrower. I thought I saw 26 TD's and only 1 Int? His biggest asset might be his leg. Every kick was a touch back and a couple were through the end zone. Both IMO are scholarship players for us. But, I though that about Van Ginkel and the older Snyder. Oops I really didn't go there did I. Signing day will be interesting. Who waits and who signs. What guys take PWO and later decide to sign elsewhere. PWO are not binding.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Pottebaum from West Lyon weighing option from walk-on at Iowa, UNI, Augie or NW Missouri State.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Trajan will be a nice addition as a walk on or small scholarship kid. I saw him play twice. He moves well for a big guy. DT or possible OT as he continues to put size on the frame. He's a kid that we won't see dividends until his redshirt soph year. Good, hardworking, smart kid. NW Iowa senior class is the strongest group in years. NDSU, USD, SDSU, and UNI really getting into some battles with remaining kids. Iowa still sniffing around. I have a feeling the Jacks could lose a verbal or two to the Hawkeyes. I saw Van Marral play hoops Tuesday. This kid is a B1G player that could still end up in Brookings. NDSU has 3 commitments from the area that seem pretty stable. USD getting active now that the staff will be back. Kent State rumors have slowed some commitments. Pottebaum from West Lyon weighing option from walk-on at Iowa, UNI, Augie or NW Missouri State. Snyder has UNI, Iowa, Iowa Western, and rumors now NDSU back in the mix after losing a couple DB's last week to Iowa and Iowa State and are getting back in the hunt. Early signing period is making for some interesting decision on the part of schools and recruits. It will be an active week after official visits over the next couple weekends.

Thanks! I hope we keep our guys. The 20th can’t get here soon enough!

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

We need to throw up the Bulldog signal... we have another verbal from NW Iowa!

Trajan Walhof: 6’5, 250 defensive tackle from Sioux Center.

https://twitter.com/trajanwalhof/sta...41696250916864

So we now have: Van Marel, Sanders, Greenfield, and Walhof in the trenches and all from NW Iowa.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

PWO offer out to Cannon York. 6'4 235lb TE/DE out of Lebanon, Missouri. He also has PWO offers from Missouri and Indiana State as well as multiple D2 offers. Looks like he's been in Brookings several times over the last year according to his Twitter.

May take more than a PWO to get him. His home state Mizzou offered the same thing the day after we did.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

I think the LB from Gretna has a walk on offer, but that was under the previous regime. Hope we hold onto him.

NVM....bad info on previous post of mine.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Are we in danger of losing either of our two Nebraska recruits to the new Scott Frost led Huskers?

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Agreed - I think the world has opened its eyes a little more to other opportunities out there. It will impact us but I don't see their walk-on program reaching the heights it used to.

If all walk-on's were eliminated it would sure spread out the talent and even the playing field.
