It's interesting to me that 2 SD kids Cain Wallner (Canton) and Shawn Hammerbeck (Winner) hold multiple good offers but haven't received one from us. Maybe I'm just tired of NDSU poaching quality kids out of our state.

I’m not tired of beating NDSU.

Yes, without knowing the context, I'm definitely willing to say I trust the coaching staff.

Plus, it sounds like these guys are receiving offers/going on visits from/for teams like Nebraska and Texas Tech, respectively, so it's hardly a foregone conclusion SDSU will "lose" either to NDSU
