Re: 2012 Recruiting List
I truly believe there are more South Dakota kids who can play at the FCS level if given the opportunity. All you have to do is look at the Montana roster and see the number of instate kids they recruit and they have had a fair amount of success. If players have the raw size and speed than you trust our coaching staff to be able to teach the skill set to play at this level. These elite camps are designed to allow area kids to showcase their talent and find that diamond in the rough. We will have to continue to scout the country for the skills we aren't finding in abundance in the region. I'm not suprised these kids who were identified at the camps are the first to commit as they will not have the same number of opportunities than some of the other "higher profile" young men we are recruiting.

Re: 2012 Recruiting List
Logan Rath was named 2nd Team Super State in Nebraska by the Lincoln Journal Star. Only players to make 1st team that were not from a Class A school was his teammate, Drew Ott and Kicker Drew Farlee from Norfolk Catholic.

He looks long and already weighs 245 lbs, so there is definitely some potential to beef him up to the 290+ lbs range. If he retains his speed, he could be a good player for the Jacks in the future.

Late this summer and early this fall I also had the chance to talk with Logan's parents. Logan's dad was wearing Jackrabbit apparel the first time I met him and we talked about the Rabbits and Logan's team from Giltner. His parents were very impressed with SDSU and the coaching staff. I'm excited to see Logan wearing blue this next year!

However a 4.5 40 is not terribly fast for a defensive back, however it is probably faster then 3/4's of the DB's the jacks have right now. Dale Moss has 4.5 40 speed from what I was told, and he doesn't look too fast out on the field.

I think he would be a good return man for the Jacks in addition to playing defensive back, needs to work on his cuts though, seems a little bit slow out of them at times.

Regardless of which schools were recruiting him, his specs (height/weight/speed/build) look good, so there is some potential to get excited about.

Originally posted by SDSUAlum08 View PostSorry. I was just proving a point that his 100m & 400m times weren't that fast. I was going to go into quickness, like you stated above, and say the same thing but I didn't. Probably should have. I completely agree with you in that those times really don't matter. The 40 times is a much better indicator.
If he's running a 4.5 40 yd dash, then that's pretty fast for a kid coming in as a freshman. He'll get faster with weights and conditioning. Anyways, I don't even remember what kid we're talking about anymore (seriously). Best of luck to him and I hope he proves me wrong (or whatever).

What are people referring to how he had a tough life? What's his story?

Not saying he's going to have as much impact as Wolters had but if the staff thinks he can help, he probably can.
