2011 Recruiting List

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Some videos of DB Drew Valentine:

Junior:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYsRdZ-Hscc

Thru Week 3 Senior:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3TodkG13Hc


Dylan has visited SDSU and has said that it's #1 on his short list of schools.

Plays more like a safety than a corner. Didn't seem to have the greatest cover skills but looks like a great tackler in watching the video.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Added today to the list:

OT Joe Bjorklund, 6'5" 285 lbs, Rosemont, MN

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...orklund-107055

I would guess that NDSU might have an edge on this player since his former teammate, WR Zach Vraa, is a freshman at NDSU.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Player by the name of Marquese Brooks at Sioux Falls Roosevelt who is having a very good senior year who may look awful good running the ball for the Jacks.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Anyone know anything about Rapid City Stevens? I have heard they have a WR and a OT/DE that have some size and speed.

Maybe these are the two players, they each have profiles on ESPN's recruiting site.

DE - Andrew Iddings 6'5" 218

WR - Alex Litzen 6'5" 198

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

SDSU has offered 2-Star QB Jimmie Forsythte from Nebraska

QB, 5'11" 185, Omaha - Burke

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...Forsythe-93715

Has an offer from USD and interest from several Big 12 schools.

My guess would be that SDSU is looking at him to play DB.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Thanks for the info MJ! Rep for you.


I love the fact that we're taking some chances on some kids early, as well as some high Jucos. We'll see if this helps in the end with recruiting, which I think it will.

[GopherHole]

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I know we have a limited number of QB's on the roster, but 3 offers and 10 other QB's that we are interested in is a lot! I'm sure we are trying to get two in camp, but it could be tough to get two quality QB recruits with TOB having two years left and Austin Sumner having four years. It would be nice to get a JUCO and a freshman, and then we could keep recruiting a solid QB each year.

Maybe it's a deep year for QBs, but we sure could add more O-linemen and WRs to the list. According to the list on page 1, we have one offer out to a WR and none for O-linemen. Hopefully, we can get four or more linemen from the list of interested players.

They may not be looking at some of those guys as QB's though. Weren't guys like Jeske and few others listed as QB's coming out of high school? I seem to remember Meadows saying they look for QB's since they're the best athletes on the team at a lot of high schools.

Not all the QB's listed are being recruited as QB's. I'm sure some are being recruited as LB or DB's.

Jeske was recruited as a QB and the plan was for him to play QB but they switched him a couple years in.

Some players that were QB in high school but were recruited to play a different position at SDSU:

WR Matt Hylland
WR Brad Iverson
LB RC Kilgore
LB Derek Domino
CB Rodkem Matthews

[GopherHole]

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Thanks for the response! That list of QB's turned out to make some outstanding players. I'm sure their previous experience as a QB has helped them in their current positions.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Adam Vinatieri played quarterback at Rapid City Central. He went on to be a heck of a punter and placekicker at SDSU and, well, you know the rest.
