Re: 2015 Recruiting List

whats the deal with mike daniels I was reading earlier he was a stud but it doesn't seem like anyone is on him heavy?

I'm hearing attitude. That's from an assistant coach at BHS.

Im kinda thinking mikey daniels thinks he's better then he is. I mean he basically stuffed it in BHS's face and went to this football power in Florida for a year.

Wow! I think bat67 raised a good question. I was beginning to wonder why some had not scooped him up by now. If there issues with attitude, he may find himself lucky to be PWO.

I do not know much of this young man. I haven't lived in Brookings for years, and the only game I watched was the State Championship game online. I thought he was a very good player if not the best on the field. But I noticed that when he had a late TD run in the game, very few of his teammates came up to him and hugged, high fived, bumped him, etc. That stuck with me. I am asking any Brookings area people what did his teammates think of him? Did he think he was above them, or was he a good lockerroom guy?
If he has an attitude is he really a fit with the Jacks?

Good questions but no answers here. I am a 1959 graduate of BHS, and times have changed so much since then. We had a guy in my class named Bob Sheldon. Even though he finished with 12 letters, he was just an average guy. Micky might be the same but may not show much emotion like Bob Sheldon often did not.

The more I think about this, it seems inappropriate for the assistant coach to be expressing these comments. The kids future is hands of the coach, and unless a coach specifically asks about attitude, he should be silent.

Re: 2015 Recruiting List

I'm not sure I buy attitude as a reason that teams might not be rushing after Daniel. Attitude can be managed. I'm guessing it's more a question of perceived talent ceiling. I thought Daniel was a potential college stud, and he might be. Some people suggest he's a D-II level player, and he didn't make the Argus Leader Elite 45. So I don't know. I hope he becomes a Jackrabbit and proves that he really is a stud.

Re: 2015 Recruiting List

Does anyone know if Daniel even wants to be Jackrabbit?

bunnies1 said that Stig had watched him play BB and they were to meet with his parents. I tend to believe some of the former opportunities dried up and SDSU may be the only one left.

That is a great question. I hope he does. In general I would rather take a slightly less talented guy, who wants to be there and works his butt off, than a more talented guy who doesn't. I am not saying the Daniel isn't hard working or doesn't want to be a Jackrabbit, only he knows the answers to that. I hope he comes in wanting to be there with a chip on his shoulder.

I think the perceived talent ceiling is largely the culprit. From what I've read on Mikey, it seems to me he got his 3 star ranking early due to how he preformed against his peers at some notable camps, but that was back when he was a freshman. I'm not sure if he just didn't grow like they thought, but he seems to be close to maxing out his frame already in high school and he doesn't appear to me to have the top end speed DI coaches want to see out of their top targeted running backs. I'm not a talent scout, but I understand this sentiment when watching his highlights compared to say, Sam Zenner's (current SDSU RB verbal).

Personally, I'd like to see Mikey end up at SDSU, but I'm not sure that running back is his future position.

Re: 2015 Recruiting List

Kemo is correct about the speed for Mikey. He did not have that break away speed. He was nimble to find the hole and get loose only to be caught. He has some good instincts on the field.
