So signing none in Feb?

Why are they signing so many freshmen out of HS? Seems like you'd want to sign some upperclassmen.

They go the 4 year route. Transfers are not the norm. I think there are 3 on the Bison team right now. Punter, backup WR and a DII transfer.

Some of these are PWO's, so their's room for more.

Bad joke. It looked like they were all freshmen in HS, not incoming freshmen.

I figured that, so I made an adjustment by ignoring the joke in my response.

Isn't the stud RB a transfer?

We had an RB last year, King Frazier, who the Bison recruited. He decided to try Nebraska for a couple years, then transferred to NDSU. He graduated last year. Dunn, Anderson, Brooks, Purfoy, Cofield and Wilson were all recruited by NDSU.

Trey Lance and Holden Hotchkiss (6-3, 191 RFr) will battle to take Easton Sticks place in a couple years.

Sac State has signed 5 so far (3 of them are 2 stars) and have a hard verbal from a 3 star and another 2 star so far.

MSU once again signed the 16 best players in the country of America...

Most had full ride offers to Clemson and Georgia, but saw the future of what MSU is building and couldn't wait to be a part of it.

We signed 3 RB's that run in the 4.1-4.2 range in the 50 (yeah, we don't even fuck with 40) yard dash, and another RB that I am pretty sure is the son of ironhead Heyward...(his nickname is Big Bacon)

We signed 9 total offensive players that all should be in the NFL, but they all really like to ski and fly fish.

We signed 7 defensive players that could (and should) be UFC fighters, but love to play in loud and cold places.

Good luck to the rest of the teams in I-AA...May god have mercy on your soul!!!
