2013 Recruiting List

Re: 2013 Recruiting List

Heres a look at 2016 depth chart:
(* means the player had received DI offers other than SDSU, ** means they had an FBS offer) Not really the best way to determine how good a player is, but the only way I really have to judge this early.)

QB: SR Nate Meyer / JR Dalton Douglas
HB: SR Kyle Parris** / SR Isaac Rodriguez / RB Tom Peitz
TE: SR Mitch Vojvoda
TE: JR Eron Keely
WR: SR Connor Landberg / JR Stacy Keely
WR: JR Deondre Moore* / JR Connor Orgill
WR: SR Joseph Bednar / JR Jake Wieneke
LT: SR Nick Carr* / Charles Harmon**
LG: SR Mike Shoff**
C: JR Jacob Ohnesorge*
RG: SR Ty Soulek* / JR Joseph Stephens
RT: SR Seth Lansman

DE:
DT: SR Logan Rath / JR Kellen Soulek*
DT: SR Jordan Brichacek*
DE:
OLB: SR Nate Maxiell / JR Jesse Bobbit*
OLB: SR Andy Moritko** / JR Cole Langer*
MLB: SR Matt Romano / JR Mikias Alipate*
CB: SR Ezekiel Herndon / SR Herman Kleinsasser
CB: SR Dallas Brown / JR Freeman Simmons*
SS: JR Nick Farina / JR Bryson McCabe*
FS: SR Nick Mears /

PK:
P:

So it looks like we could use some players at DE, TE, and another DT. I wouldn't be surprised if Moritko ends up playing DE or if Cole Langer played the FB/TE role.
LB Charles Elmore was part of the 12 class but didn't redshirt last year so he graduates in 2015.

Re: 2013 Recruiting List

You could say that about every position. That's why it's called recruiting.

Its not the hardest to find a WR or RB or QB to play as a freshman or soph. lineman its much harder to fill the void of losing upperclassman. I guess I find having depth at line positions more important then say RB or safetys for example. So missing a year of a particular class can hurt. look what we went through we a particiular class recently didnt fully pan out. took a few years to fill some holes.

Re: 2013 Recruiting List

I think so too but its never a problem to have to many good lineman. injuries, transfers etc doesnt take long to go from depth and talent to struggling and lack of depth. Not worried for the next couple years maybe, but would be concerned 3-4 years from now if some plays dont make it like we have seen before from recruiting.

Re: 2013 Recruiting List

I think the guys we brought in last year for the D-Line will be making a pretty good impact this coming year.

Re: 2013 Recruiting List

I generally like a running back in every class, but I think we can handle not getting one this year being that we had 2 in last year's class and none of our RBs are set to graduate at the end of next season.

I'm more worried about Defensive Linemen. I'm a firm believer that games are won in the trenches and with the fast paced offenses, depth at the DE/DT positions are becoming more and more important.

And Tom Pietz, a walk-on RB, who impressed the coaching staff last year during the fall.

Re: 2013 Recruiting List

I'm a little surprised that we haven't been able to land a quality running back in this recruiting class. With the success that Zenner had this year, one would think that running backs would be licking their chops to come and have a chance at similar success. They would be redshirt-sophomores by the time Zenner graduates.


It could be that a RB has already committed and we just haven't found out yet and that is why other players have gone elsewhere.

I was hoping for Wolpin or Thomas Warren but neither one of those is going to happen now. One thing to keep in mind is that the rb recruits might not like the depth chart right now. We got Zenner as a Jr, Gandy as a So, and Paris and Rodriguez as Fr next year. Wolpin even stated early playing time as a factor and the odds that he would play over Zenner or Gandy the next two years were shallow. I currently like our stable of backs with Zenner as the superstar, Gandy as the all around back, Paris as the bruiser, and Rodriguez as a scat back.

With that said rb is a position where you need to bring in a player every year.....depth can go from strong to weak in only a weeks time of fall camp.

Yackley had a lot of scholarship money from showing cattle.

An old army trick learned in the Navy I suppose.

Re: 2013 Recruiting List

No as long as no athletic scholarship of any kind is granted. You'd actually be considered a walkon. Blake Yackley for the basketball team is a good example.

Ryan Wolpin, RB verballed to Northern Colorado.http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com...cision/271757/Would be nice to get a RB in this class. Always seem to be thin at that position.

This was the RB I really wanted to land. Really liked his running style.

If he were to choose SDSU and get academic scholarships, would that count against the number of football scholarships?
