Check out the signing day blog update from the Yankton Daily Press. It includes most of the area schools and info/links regarding their respective classes. There is a poll on there asking about who had the better class. Did some reading, and although I think our friends to the south had a pretty good class, SDSU had a better one. I voted for SDSU.

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class
The fact that NDSU signed no athletes from South Dakota is significant. It wasn't that long ago that they raided some of the best talent. The fact that young men are looking this way says a lot about the program that Coach Stig has created.


OR there wasnt 1 kid from your state good enough to play at NDSU.

NDSU had 10 kids with FBS solid offers.

You know Ace is going to wonder why his decidedly red oriented readership voted blue... but I will find it fun to poke at him a bit today

Re: 2009 Recruiting Class

A quick breakdown of how South Dakota athletes who are going D1 this year.

SDSU signed Jake Weiss who was offered by NDSU and who also received interest from IA.
SDSU signed OL Alex Parker who had an offer from Iowa State.
SDSU signed DT Chase Douglas who had interest form the Goph's and Iowa Schools.
USD signed WR Will Powell who had an offer from UNI.
UNI signed DB Phil Wright.

Others

USD
Earv Archambeau, RB
Kyle Chicos, QB
Quintin McMartin, TE, Sioux Falls
Mike Pharis, DL

SDSU
Mason Winterboer, RB

UND
Darren DeNeui TE/DE
Matt Field O-Line

So that makes 12 SD kids going DI and I probably missed a couple.

As was stated, Jake Weiss from SF - had an offer from NDSU. I am not going to go through this with you though and determine all the offers we both had to players in SD etc., because its exhausting and a waste of time. We are very pleased with our class, as you are with yours obviously. Just so you remember though, the Dakota Marker has spent its last two years where it belongs. Recruiting in SD must be fine.

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

Since the Marker has resided in Brookings the last two years and SDSU did not take any ND kids, I think it is more likely that there aren't any ND kids good enough for SDSU.


Just smacking, actually I think signing day is great for every kid that gets to put his name on a NLI. Different schools have different needs, etc. but what is really special is that every one of those kids gets to fulfill what has been a life goal. I can not imagine how proud their parents, family and friends must be. Congrats to them all!

Who were they, and what were the FBS schools?

BTW: I'll be looking forward to August's news of clearinghouse problems... Hopefully you guys don't have any, but, well, last year kind of set a bad precedent, didn't it?

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!

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.

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

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)

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