Bison go 4 in a row as they defeat Denver in Fargo 81-71. Bison have 9-1 record in Fargo.

By the way, I don't care what anyone says, Augie joining the league is a done deal. They don't make the move without some assurances. Plus, Summit office moves to SF. All but official.

Some of us are still holding out hope that Augie does not join the Summit League. Interest in the Summit League will decline. Some complain about the conference's dismal rating this year...just wait and see what happens if Superbunny's prediction is accurate.

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

If, ok, when Augie gets invited to the Summit League it will be interesting to see the support they get it at the SLT. Obviously, it is in their town which is huge. In addition, it will be interesting to see how many people that are there supporting SDSU or USD will switch to Augie. It has been convenient for Sioux Falls people to make Augie their D2 team and SDSU or USD their D1 team. That will change.

Recruiting players is like playing dominos where as you get one to fall and others follow. Listen to the interview with Tevin King when he talks about George Marshall steering him here. George talked about Nate Wolters and DJJ about the chance to play with Daum. Now our recruit Caleb Grill talks about playing with DJJ. The other important piece to this is wining! Players want to win and go to the NCAA tournament.

If you don't already love Mike Daum, you will after listening to his interview with @jimrome. As a mom of a future Jackrabbit, I'm grateful for all Mike @dauminator24 has done for @caleb_grill0.

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

That probably only matters to players from the Sioux Falls area, and there are few of them who can play at the D-1 level. What matters is getting to the NCAA Tournament. Getting a victory or two at that level would really help SDSU's recruiting.

Why would it only matter to players from Sioux Falls? The opportunity to play in front a large crowd does not exist in many mid-major conference tournaments or even P5 Conference Tournaments. I think if you were to speak with recent SDSU recruits and perhaps other Summit League member recruits that tournament has an impact on recruiting.

Absolutely. That event is what sets SDSU basketball apart from a sea of other mid-major programs. I think a lot of people underestimate how it has affected the trajectory of the MBB program. Huge.

I agree with this but I also think many people underestimate the coach. Players don't commit to a school they commit to a coach. We may wish it was the other way around but truth is it's not.

At the same time, I assume a negative affect on other schools recruiting.

I would think getting potential SDSU recruits to the Summit League Tournament would be wise to see the support.

Pretty sure I remember from a Stater's Luncheon that DJJ was here on a recruiting trip during the SLT. You're kidding yourself if you don't think SDSU takes advantage of its fan support for recruiting. That stuff isn't just important to local recruits, its important to everyone who puts on a college uniform. They want to play in games that matter in front of fans that care, and SDSU can offer that more than anyone else in the league.

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

You're last sentence is what I was talking about. Winning and going to the NCAA tourney are king. Our support at the SLT makes that tougher for every other team in the league. Whether that makes it tougher to get recruits I'm not sure.

Every coaching change in men’s basketball can open new opportunities in terms of recruiting. If the right change is made, the new coach bring a whole new network of recruiting opportunities, that happened when TJ replaced Nagy. I often wonder if Coach Nagy felt, he had got the program to its highest level, and was time to move on. My theory is based what I observed. TJ with DJJ seems to have done a better job recruiting.

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

How much effect does the dominance of SDSU in Sioux Falls factoring in the pro SDSU crowd have on recruiting for other schools? There is no denying we have an advantage when it comes to the SLT the way our fan base shows up.
