2016 Recruiting List

Re: 2016 Recruiting List

I'm cleaning up the recruitment list and found that Jordan Birch had committed to Illinois State back in October. Rivals still has him as uncommitted. If you find other information on recruits, please keep me up to date! (Special thanks to UMWandSDSU as he has found many updates all year long.)

I'm also putting Alex Cloyd back into UND's commitment status. His twitter handle still lists him as committed to UND.

Defensive tackle, Marcel Minniefield committed to UNI last week.

Re: 2016 Recruiting List

We offered Trey Page from state champion Bishop Moore Catholic last month. He is taking his first two official visits to Brown & Princeton this weekend. We are starting to see a flurry of activity with commitments recently to a variety of schools. With a limited number of scholarships available at each school, players have to snatch them up while the offer is still good.

RB - Trey Page, 6'1" 199, Orlando, FL (Bishop Moore) - HUDL , 24/7
Offers: Columbia (previous commit), Cornell, Mississippi Valley State

If you don't believe that COA is a huge factor with potential recruits, read the following two tweets from Sonny Onken. These are back-to-back tweets that he posted.

Sonny Onken @Sondog 15 Dec 2015

"Happy to announce I have received a full ride offer from Illinois state!"

"Even more excited about my four year full ride plus cost of living I was offered from the University of Northern Iowa last night!!"

I saw that tweet as well. But when did UNI announce they were offering full COA for football? Last I heard they were not offering it for their football team. Did I miss it?

You didn't miss it. UNI has not announced they're offering COA in football.

Part of the reason I don't think SDSU fans should get all wrapped up in COA announcements. It doesn't have to be public for the university to offer it to some priority recruits. I think this will be a hot button tittle 9 issue all a cross college campuses in the near future.

I agree. I know Jacks basketball coaches were offering it long before NDSU's splashy announcement. I'm guessing football programs like UNI and SDSU have a certain dollar amount to offer priority recruits, like you said. I think the Title 9 issues are already well known regarding FCOA.

Re: 2016 Recruiting List

I heard President Chicoine speak recently and got the impression that basketball coaches had been offering COAs and that football COAs will be offered as needed. In fact, SDSU's COA limit is higher than USD's or NDSU's. The max is $6,000 or so. I'm also of the impression (maybe incorrectly) that a COA is paid over and above a "full scholarship." Partial scholarships are allowed in football, so what's a full one?

I would bet that UNI would rather the recruit didn't broadcast it.

I have a feeling he will get a late scholarship offer from Iowa. There will be a current Iowa commit that will either decommit, will take another offer at another school, or will not be eligible. He would be a great get for SDSU!!
