Comment from Sparks

“South Dakota State had offered, and I was comfortable going there,” Sparks said. “They have some great things going on there. I have a lot of respect with how they handled the situation. No one took (the change of commitment) lightly there, but at the end of the day, everyone understood that you have to do what’s best for you.”

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Not sure what the status is on RB but we do have a great RB at JeRyan's School, you tube Anthony Shivers, he currently has an offer from U of Mary, but he has not signed his LOI yet.

I don't know were we stand in depth at tailback. Our offense generally has been a one back set and for the past three years Kyle Minnett has been our carry guy and will be replaced by Trerrell Kool and a few others. Anthony from the youtube does have athleticism and speed, we could use him on defense or Wide receiver. His talent seems too good for U of Mary D2 Northern Sun Conference. The Northern Sun scholarship limits are 24 and are often split several ways so I suspect they have not promised him much athletic money, but will have to rely on Pell grants etc. I do not blame him for not signing. I would hope our staff is aware of Anthony.

Sparks went to UND? Oh well... Rissi Palmer did a much better version of "No Air" than Jordin did.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Feisty Red Head, you and your son need to work on PJ Sparks from Glendale as he is heading for a visit to UND in Grand Forks and has an offer from the Jacks.

I would but I do not know the family Glendale is like 45 minutes away from where we are located.

The Who??

I think it's the Whioux... officially...

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Yes, their RB was released from the team and they only brought in 1 with their current recruiting class. I would think given that scenario, Sparks will give them a good look.

Valley was probably to physical for him, Big sky is were the dainty little backs go.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Good luck to Sparks at UND. I feel pretty good with what we have at school now and the addition of Reggie Gandy.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

And because Gandy has already signed. Didn't UND just lose their starting RB too?

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Maybe that would be why Sparks reconsidered, but doesn't appear the Jacks offer has been pulled off the table. Can't have enough good running backs and you would hope Sparks would want to come in and compete for a job.

Especially since we may need one of those two to contribute right away
