Re: 2012 Recruiting List

He's got quite the comments on his Twitter account. Not sure if it's for football as he doesn't even look like a football player and I can't find a thing mentioned about him anywhere.

Yeah my bad he is a shortstop at University High School in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. I saw it was tweeted by a football player and figured it was a teammate.

Yeah I think it might be for baseball, but I'm not sure.

I think so too. Here's something that was written by him: http://laleysports.com/portal/index....review/id:270/

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Is SDSU looking at Alex Shultz for baseball? I know he wants to play either sport and would love to play both in college or play one at the highest level possible, he probably would favor baseball over football but keeping his options open, I think he is interested in engineering which would be good for him at SDSU.

He hasn't been offerred by SDSU for football. USD offerred, but then Glenn pulled the offer when he took the job. NDSU has already signed a couple players for this class which really pisses me off, but that's a different matter.

I don't have a clue if Alex is a decent baseball player, but good luck to him.

AFAIK, he is pretty decent. I knew he wasnt really interested in USD, and didnt know if SDSU would be a good fit with Sumner and other good QBs on the roster and he wants to keep his options open for which ever sport is a better fit. Sounds like academically would be a great student to have, if he is good enough, hopefully the baseball team has their eye on him.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

he should just throw it out, its better to ask for forgiveness later.

I remember reading the DII recruit thing in one of the MN papers, but that probably stems from local DII schools recruiting him.

Sounds like Nate Meyer is coming in as a QB, but he is versatile enough that he could be moved to safety later on if that doesn't pan out. It's never a bad thing to recruit kids who have the ability to play multiple positions.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

Minnesota has 1 D-I school. To many in the Media its Bigger then Minnesota, Minnesota and D-II.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

I really don't think it matters whether high school players are labeled D-II or FCS anymore (I used to think it mattered more).

It's always nice to land a player who other FCS rivals are after, but if you look at some of the best D1 SDSU football players, most of them probably only had 1 offer and it was from SDSU.

It's more about finding players that fit your system and the rest is coaching, hard work and luck.

Look at NDSU's Brock Jenson, he didn't have any other D1 offers and was set on going to UMD until NDSU missed on other QB recruits and settled on DII recruit Jenson.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List

High school players are to some extent whatever they make of themselves when they come out of college. Kids who aren't "D-I material" talk their way into walking onto D-I programs and wind up starting. Other "can't-miss D-I prospects" wind up playing out their college careers at NAIA schools or even out of college athletics entirely.

There's really no such thing as a "D-I high school player" or anything else like that.

There is only the level of expectations that get attached to a particular high school athlete's name. And all that really is, is somebody else's judgment of the kid's potential, and that judgment is only as good as the person doing the judging. And even coaches, who have the biggest possible motivation to get it right, get potentials wrong--they do it all the time, both on the upside and on the downside.
