2011 Recruiting

[clenz]

UNI has also landed a transfer from Arizona State that enrolled at the start of the second semester TE Steven Figueroa. He will be a JR this year I believe.

Anybody can go to

and learn all they want about NDSUs new guys. Its clear the BISON are a true "Mid-West Team". They didnt go west. 13 of the 17 are from the Mid-West. 4 are from AZ. A little south but a good fit!

The emphasis was on defense, but not overwhelming.

I like that kind of focus on the local area. When you see a school all over the place they are grasping at straws. Its easy to see the filler guys too. Every school gets those players that have a lot of D2 interest. Some get more than others but everyone of those guys has a chance to develope into a good player.

NDSU has had pleanty of success with those guys and have been playing at the FCS level for years. The transition was no big deal. Other schools have stumbled and failed to grow during the transition but NDSU stepped right up.
