In talking to some people around town and at the athletic dept recently, I think the popular consensus was Ed did bring in talent. The cupboard wasn't exactly bare last season, however, the cupboard was missing a lot of key ingredients and the ingredients we did have weren't ripe yet or aged to perfection. Ed liked his toys and he brought in a lot of them, but to win consistently and to win in the Valley you need the beef, you need depth, you need a foundation.
Looking at Joe's recruiting class thus far I am very impressed with what we are recruiting. Also, notice where we are pulling recruits from, Oklahoma, Missouri, etc. An NDSU fan posted recently that these players are off the radar of NDSU, outside their territory. I see what Joe is doing, going to football fertile areas outside of the Valley footprint. Why go head to head with NDSU for a kid when we don't have to? Go somewhere else. Who really recruits Oklahoma? Big 12 schools, sure. Tulsa, ok. But what about all those kids (and I'm sure given the emphasis on HS football in that area of the country there's plenty of talent) that don't have FBS level talent or are borderline? Looks like are going in there and scooping them up.
USD has always recruited all over the place, has always been a little creative with how we do things. I like what I'm seeing so far.
Edit for: That got us to page 12.

Wrote my post without even reading that article. Pretty spot on analysis. That's why you come to this board.
Thank you. Thank you.

Per JH: Central Lyon/George-Little Rock (Iowa) coach Toby Lorenzen said his LB Josh Hunt will sign with USD tomorrow. Same school as Tyler Starr. Unfortunately his hudl film is private: www.hudl.com/athlete/809804/josh-hunt

Also JH stated that he has an unofficial list of 30 guys. Including Josh Hunt above, the other 3 are defensive players.
