2011 Recruiting List

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Gandy is a good get for SDSU. However, I'm fairly sure NDSU offered him and pulled the offer about a month ago.

NDSU didn't exactly pull his offer, he had an ultimatum to accept the offer or it was going to be pulled and NDSU was going to move on. Reggie decided to not accept the offer so NDSU moved on to a player from Arizona.

Isn't that the same thing you guys did with Nate Wolters? That is turning out well for us.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

would the possibility of playing right away been a factor?

umm...considering the fact we have Mcnorton ('08), Sigers ('09), Voigtlander (08'), Ojuri** ('09), Crockett ('10), and Jones** ('11) as RB's I would think this is very accurate.

Also in 2010 we signed MIcheal Allen** and I am unsure if he still plans to join the team

For you Star Gazers the *'s behind is their rivals "star" ratings

We are Loaded at RB so Reggie is much better off at SDSU where you just lost your Premier back and thats awesome he picked SDSU over UNI

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Well obviously, recruits pick us over NDSU. Point I was trying to make is that we are in a tenuous period with the Bison after dominating them for three years - and to get one of the top RBs in the region over them is big. Are you sure he will redshirt? And why would he be defiant?

I'm not definitely sure he won't redshirt, but it's fairly rare for SDSU to play true freshmen. Especially since we have depth at the RB position with Kool, Zenner & Clare.

It might not be a bad idea to leave Kool at WR though and go with Zenner, Clare & Gandy at RB, but I don't think that will happen.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Recruits have chosen SDSU over NDSU before, it's actually probably more impressive that he chose us over UNI than anything. I don't suspect that he will be see playing time next year, maybe his redshirt Freshman, defiantly his sophomore year when our running backs will be him and JR Zach Zenner (who is pretty darn good in his own right).

Fact that he chose Jacks over NDSU is HUGE. With someone with this cred, would the possibility of playing right away been a factor?

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Watched the whole thing, a lot to like here, but what I liked most was how he saw holes before they were there, good vision. Great YAC, hard to bring down. He is going to be fun to watch and hard to handle.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Looks good. I'm surprised to hear he ran a 4.5 because he didn't look particularly quick in that video, but I saw TV tweeted the 4.5 so I'll trust it.

It is interesting on video he looked reasonably fast but when he ran in the open field he seemed to always increase the size of the gap so I'm guessing he is pretty fast, and seems to break a lot of tackles, Sweetness for the Jacks.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Boxerboy - that is exactly what I thought as I was watching his video. Reminded me of Sweetness.

3,113 yards and 42 TDs... in one year. Wow.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I think potentially the best recruit yet. I appreciate that the coach said he had never been caught from behind. I like a couple of stiff arms and the way he lowers his head prior to contact. As a Bear fan his style of running, and size reminds me of Walter Payton.
