Quite a few kids committed over the weekend, Ill try and add them here shortly. Just going off their own twitter feeds, which is tough when I personally don't use twitter or even have an account.

Looks like a solid, blue-collar group! The best kind! No flash in the pan, no arguing over this or that many stars. Just a bunch of solid football players ready to hit the field and work hard. Take a look at North Dakota State's recruiting class over the past several years. All blue-collar and very few recruiting stars, which are BS anyway!

The truth is there is just no way to know until the season starts, and most likely not for a few seasons. Kids like Demard Llorens have to beg to walk on and how many countless 2 and 3 star kids we've had never panned out? I do like the size of the Juco Lbs but aside from that I have no idea. Hopefully we can retain all these kids and they contribute in a positive way to Northwestern State.

Give me a team full of players with the heart of Demard Llorens any day. Love the way that kid plays! He gives everything on every play.

I think its a solid class as well. Not much star power but I like what I see on their highlight tapes. The size on defense is encouraging, hopefully it translates come september.

Huge class. I don't remember a class with 32 recruits in it. Although, two are graduate students and will only play for one season -- Haack and Antoine. But, what difference makers "they" could be!

Could shape up to be one of the best classes we have had in a long time. After talking with Coach T at the NSD luncheon and hearing a little more of his impressions compared to the previous years classes, I am pretty positive about this class. Coach T mentioned that this group was different because they all committed fairly quickly and have been firm on commitment. In years past, it was down to the wire and we lost several good ones (especially in the receiver corps). This group was mostly in place days before signing day and some weeks ahead. What was cool to hear is that some of the early recruits (i.e. Kenny Sears) were actually trying to help by talking with others and getting them to sign. That's a good way to start building camaraderie and unity.

That is encouraging, I think Kenny Sears will be the future of this program and appears as though he's already taking leadership. Also heard that Dr Henderson played a role in recruiting players, he's taking an active role in athletics and his energy and enthusiasm for NSU is just awesome.
