      4-6

      Although if you look at their schedule they lost to Prarie, Washington and IC High by a combined 10 pts. Losing 40-14 to Xavier was the only game that they really got beat up on, other wise they lost by 14 pts and 12 pts, respectively, to Linn-Mar and PV. So overall they were pretty mediocre.

      Dunn does not have very eye popping stats. 7.5 yd/rush is good but RB's who can get 7.5 yds/carry are a dime a dozen at the Iowa HS level. But he is going to NDSU because of his size and speed, not his stats. Kid is really quick. It'd be interesting to see Dunn play behind a more capable offense since he is WAAY more talented than 1100 yds.

      Thomas had 119 tackles on the year which is decent but tackles stats on there own tell you nothing about talent. He does have pretty good size although he'll need to bulk up a bit during his RS year. We got RB's like Sam Tim and Zach Cutkomp to become very serviceable LB's so I'm fairly excited about a nice athletic kid like Thomas who already has lots of experience at the position.

        I'm not positive UNI offered Dunn a full ride.

        It's hard to get a loaded class when you have pretty much the whole team returning. I expect us to pick up some studs in 2015.

            Yep, you're spot on.

            We don't have very many rides to give this year, so we've got to be really selective anyway. And we have already picked up some good talent with the few scholarships we have.

              We did offer a full ride according to his father and yes Blaire Thomas is his cousin.

                  That's one talented set of twins. Blaire can flat out play.
