2009 Recruiting Class

[Nidaros]

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

Can someone tell me what a "solid FBS scholarship offer" entails? Full ride? Partial? Walk-on? Are they all thrown into the same category?

Good questions. Many years ago I once had a very young but a football body Lutheran Pastor for confirmation and the rumor around church was he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers, and I took time as a seventh grader to ask about the draft. He told me in a very kind matter that all he had received was a letter. A letter to which he never responded. This could be what some of the FBS offers are similar too. It be interesting to get into the FBS members records and find out what they paid for mailing lists.

FBS schools can only offer full rides. Otherwise, you'd have schools like USC, etc., offering 50% rides and blowing their rosters all out of proportion.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

Well, that's a bit of a caveat to "FBS offers"

Not to take anything away from the NDSU recruits.

Still, one wonders whether NDSU is in for another lackluster year, and if two back to back bumps in the road make Bohl's pitch of 'play for a title contender' a bit difficult to swallow.

I know that (believe it or not, Bison fans), Meadows and Stig are a bit worried that the new facilities going in will be a bit of a distraction from the blue collar role playing "non-Communist" football player that they like in Brookings.

(BTW: "Communist football" is, if memory serves, Stig's description for gimmicky offenses)

Meaning one that only runs and passes to the left?

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

and on a completely unrelated note (except that it contains one coach's description of a style of play)

Joe Tiller and JoePa met before a Penn State/Purdue game and were talking. JoePa said, "You're not going to throw that ball all over the field are you?" and Tiller said, "We are what we are, Joe, we're going to go out there and play sissy ball."

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

Taylor Nelson also had an offer from Ball State, I believe when Perles went to BSU he offered Nelson, Juckem, and Jacobs.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

I'm anxious to see what SDSU does with the last two scholarships we apparently have. If we can find another Cole Brody (signed late) type impact player on both sides of the ball that would complete a solid recruiting class in 2009!

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

Did he get recruited by Nebraska at all? Or did they offer him a walk-on position?

I talked to a guy at Cubby's who said he talked to his dad. He said that his dad told him that SDSU was giving him a scholarship and Nebraska wasn't, he should go there.
How true this is or not, I don't know.

[Alum-Ni]

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

He was offered to be a walk-on at Nebraska. I really think had he not got hurt during his senior year, he would have possibly received a scholarship offer. He did get an offer from Wyoming and also had walk-on offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State.

I really think he could have contributed at Nebraska.....he is a tremendous athlete.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

He is undefeated in Memorial Stadium, winning two state championships at the home of the Huskers! A good luck sign for the Jacks??? (I hope not)

Thanks for the feedback, and welcome to the board. Hopefully in 2010, he'll get a chance to play against the Huskers for the Jacks.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

Hey SDSU fans.....

I'm from the area where Eric Koehlmoos grew up and played his high school ball. It's been a treat to watch him lead Pierce to a couple of state titles. He is definitely a legitimate Division I-A caliber athlete. Pierce produced Nebraska tight end Matt Herian a few years ago, and Koehlmoos is every bit the athlete that Herian was. I'm a Nebraska fan, but I'll keep tabs on you guys now and follow Eric's career at SDSU. You got a special one here.

Good luck next year!

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

Well according to Lakes the only reason the Markers has been in Brookings is because we over achieve, the Jacks don't belong on the same field as the Bison

This is not a smack thread.

Discuss who we signed/didn't sign OK.

Take extended discussions of comparing what school did/didn't get and create smack thread.

Now play on.
