Good post... Can BSU be a top tier team every year? Probably not, when you find a class of recruits with a couple of overlooked players and you have a good supporting cast we can contend. Bemidji is at a geographic disadvantage for a lot of kids,especially the US players. I have some hope for the next class of recruits. For now, Go Beavs and good luck at BG!
