TV's blog said 6 more recruits had visited campus (not necessarily offered). Only 2 offers were made from the 1st big recruiting weekend. They are brining in 2 more veteran QB's to be looked at further.

Thanks for the clarification. For some reason, I get really excited about this recruiting thing. While it is important to recognize what these athletes have done in HS, I sometimes have to remind myself that the coaches develop them and just because a recruit is crazy good in HS doesn't necessarily translate to All Conference at the collegiate level. It works both ways I guess, considering that players who might not be as highly touted end up being amazing football players.

After the last three years of recruiting and development, I can say that our coaches do an outstanding job in both aspects. Also, the recruiting buzz gives me my fix during the off season and this downtime before bowl games.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

I've added Cooper Wahlo Jr. (WR - Woodbury, MN) and Bryan Witzmann (OL - Somerset, WI) to the considering list.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

I've been out of the loop for awhile, but has anyone heard if Phillip Bates has chosen a school to transfer to yet?

I wanted to say Ohio but I can't find anything on it.

Ohio. Some connection with Frank Solich. I am pretty sure Ohio State is set at quarterback.

A post on USD's fan board, citing Witzmann's statement to the website Wisconsin Sports Network, states USD has made an offer to Witzmann. NDSU also interested in him.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

I think a good number of the recruits we have listed are actually recruits that are for USD. Seems to happen every year that the two schools get confused for each other. I know probably half the recruits listed on the SDSU ESPN page are for USD.

Most likely they are getting recruited by both schools. It seems like USD has offered a scholaship to about anyone with a high level of talent. They've got a lot to go around if they are ramping up to 63 scholarships next year.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

But if you google some of the players on our list you'll see that they only mention USD recruiting them.

Here's a blurb from from http://www.wissports.net/ on our supposed recruit Cordero Finley.

""-According to Kenosha Bradford head coach Jed Kennedy, Red Devils linebacker/safety Cordero Finley (6-2, 210) received a scholarship offer from the University of North Dakota while on his official visit there this past weekend.

The Fighting Sioux are the second school to offer Finley as he had previously garnered an offer from the University of South Dakota. Kennedy said Eastern Illinois, North Dakota State and Winona State are also showing interest. ""

No mention of SDSU, but yet ESPN has him listed as being recruited by us and not by USD.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of offers go to kids from AZ, TX, MO, and areas further away. And than we probably sign 4 or 5 SD, MN, IA, NE kids as walk-ons.

Yeah that seems to be the case with USD. I question why you would sign so many in this class rather than rewarding players that are already on your roster so you can keep the scholarship levels somewhat even. A team basically has 5 years worth of players on the roster at any time with red-shirts, with is about 12-13 scholarships a year. I think I read somewhere that USD already has 9 or 10 offers out in Wisconsin alone...

I'm sure that is the situation for some of it.... TV mentioned it on his chat saying that some of the recruiting sites have them mixed up..... If USD has offered to them though there is probably a good chance that we have at least talked to them.....
