Mike Salwei from Bismarck had similar team credentals in a level up and with all respect to Mike (He's a great guy!) no one throws him into this arguement...

Without the Trenbeaths, Anderson, Samson and a host of other guys Oksendahl doesn't do much of anything... Also the kid never did anything at UND nor is he still there so I don't think he belongs in at least the discussion of top 5 - 10. This could change if he plays well at VCSU... lets keep him out of it for the time being.
I think the kid is lucky if he makes it into the top 20 of QB in the state... I can name five right off of the top of my head from the last 20 years that are better (Meaning I'm missing at least another five and at least ten from before my time)... Todd Kovash, Brooks Bollinger, Kevin Feeney, Jared Essler, Jay Sheldon, Kyle Odermann. These are by no means my top five... just guys I could think of off the top of my head...
If you want reasoning behind any of these guys I'll give them but everyone of them went on to have great college careers except Sheldon... He backed up Nick Walker at DSU for like 8 yrs it seemed like but I'm told could have played anywhere else in the DAC-10... Nick Walker was All-American his last two years and holds just about every passing record at a pretty good football school in ND. Some may say Essler was just a running back who got the ball snapped to him every play but so was Eric Crouch or Tommie Frazier and they are looked upon pretty well when it comes to Legends at a College football powerhouse (Nebraska)... Essler single handily took Ryan to a state title...

alot of college arguements in that. Isnt this about who was the best HS QB? For that I'll put my money on Todd Wagner from Ellendale. Guy had a rifle...

Oh yeah. I had the exact same feeling and I got to see him play multiple times. Foot work, reads, ability, it was all there. That's my vote.
