It was national letter of intent signing day for prospective college andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/footballandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Footballandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; players. andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/minot-ndandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Minotandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; State signed 21 players today including 6 from andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/north-dakotaandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;North Dakotaandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt;. The Beavers finished tied for second in the DAC and head coach Paul Rudolph who is getting just his second full year of recruiting under his belt says the team concentrated on building the offensive and defensive lines. (Paul Rudolph, andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/minot-state-universityandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;MSUandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; football coach) We said from the start we're gonna be as good as we possibly can in that andamp;quot;Oandamp;quot; line and andamp;quot;Dandamp;quot; line and I think we did a pretty good job if you take a peek at the andamp;quot;Dandamp;quot; lineman and a handful of the andamp;quot;Oandamp;quot; lineman I think we did a pretty good job there again creating enough numbers and enough quality so that we should be able to battle in that andamp;quot;Oandamp;quot; line and andamp;quot;Dandamp;quot; line for some time. Offensively we still feel like we're gonna be a pretty good football team. Defensively we lose those three guys. That's probably as big a chore. We gotta rebuild those three guys that we lost up front. You know we got a good corps behind that. I think we'll have a chance to be a good football team. Rudolph says his staff continues to build contacts throughout the region including more recruiting in andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/montanaandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Montanaandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt;. (Rudolph) From a football staff we've worked a little harder to build some relationships across the especially in the state of Montana. You know I think we've done a good job of coach Heitkamp and coach Engel of jumping into the state of Montana and getting a chance to meet the coaches and letting them know who we are and you know I think we were able to get a couple of guys out of there that we had to work for.
