with Baloun gone where do we stand on D Line? the emphasis of the D Line and D Line depth seemed to be the final piece of the puzzle that put us at the top.

I Know Kirschenman is back. Wolfcale Holstein too yes? Ripperda? latest on Clayborne? hoping DJ and Co can use connections and bring in all the players necessary here to keep this unit second to none!!!

They had an item about a colossal number of recruits that I've mentioned in earlier posts (in case you're wondering this was a different columnist exercising adjectivial brilliance).

Not much detail, but the comments have thread drift rivaling my SDSU ice cream mentions (with those crazy Cougs discussing rockers and edibles when wishing Wilde was headed there)

For example, our kicker recruit Lounsbury was on a list that a WSU account posted on X early in the week. But hard to see WSU being an option after getting Stevens, who has 3 or 4 years left.

Isaiah Hung to Wazzu.

Palano is gone, doesn't specify where in his announcement.

Assuming follows = interest

NIU DB Dashaun Gibson (NIU page) (twitter) with 4 years eligibility followed by Eids from before and Jackson recently . So far he has offers from UTM, SIU, SEMO. Not going against giants

NIU Safety Ethan Tierney (NIU page) (twitter) 3 years eligibility. Already followed by Eids and followed recently by Jackson.

Mason might be doing some recruiting of his own having recently shared follows with Holy Cross RB Jordan Fuller (twitter) (HC page) with 1 year eligibility. Fuller has over 2k rushing yards in 4 seasons, including a 1k one two years ago. Fuller also is following the JFPA page

I assume that JI has pretty good intel. A notable change tonight, for what it is worth, is that Woods has been moved from the "Out/Unknown (destination)" list to the "TBD" list (where Tucker Large also resides). The "Out" list is for guys who JI believes are leaving, with lists for those going to Wazzu, guys going elsewhere and "unknown". The TBD list is a list of guys, some of whom are in the portal and some who are not, who apparently JI has not ruled out returning and in fact a number of "TBD" guys have recommitted. Call me an optimist.

I was unaware that Woods' Dad died of cancer. Really underscores considerations some of these players face

Ostroski (former portal commit from Tulsa) visited Fargo this week and apparently visiting Vermillion. Gross.

It will be interesting to see if he has loyalty to Eck or to Jackson. Waiting to decommit until after Dan got the job here gives some hope.

CB signee Myles Green from Chicago reaffirms his commitment to the Jacks. 3 star rated, graduated from high school last month, so will be on campus for spring ball.

Here's a wrapup on the recruit situation from a Washington newspaper.

My thoughts exactly.

Wasn’t a super highly touted recruit, but we have to offset some of our incoming class loses and get guys into our development program!
