Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Grant Schmidt was on the Jacks' sideline with the other players at home games this past year, but he was ineligible because he was a transfer (Ohio State to Cincinnati to SDSU). I also heard he had been injured. But at 6-6, 300 pounds he should be a good addition to the o-line for the next two seasons. Maybe he'll fill Charlie Harmon's tackle spot.

That seems like a plan

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Yes times have changed since Greenway and he does not owe SDSU anything other than a casual following of athletics. Indeed a lucky guy in terms of breaks, and I suspect the same can be said of Benson. We will have to see. Did we not get a transfer from Ohio State who played at SF Roosvelt? We have not heard much about him since I suspect he sat out this season. I want to say his first name was Grant. I dont follow SF HS football so quite ignorant in that department. Could I be dreaming?

No I am not Grant Schmidt OL and apparently available next season.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Apples and oranges, to a degree. SDSU was D-2 when Greenway was shopping for colleges. Some news reports indicate that Coach Stig and LB Coach Rogers wished Benson well but were disappointed (understandably) when Benson reneged on his verbal.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

I did not read the stories, but the classic Greenway comment is that Stig told him to grab the Iowa offer, and I suspect Benson got an earful of that talk. and maybe Stig told Benson the same thing. As stated losing one recruit does not rob us of being competitive next year or year after.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

KELO certainly thought that Chad Greenway's conversation with Benson was a big story. Went with it on Friday, and again on Saturday and Sunday. Must have been a slow sports weekend.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

I wish the kid the best of luck. Honestly, losing an LB of his caliber doesn’t do much in terms of hurting the program. We are very good at the position and deep.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Seth Benson, though a two star recruit, going to Iowa over SDSU after making a oral commitment. I don't see how this will stop SDSU from competing next year and years after.

100% agree

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

I am sure we do, and that bothers me. But it is the way it is. I would say get in and get who you can early, but also be patient with those who need time and maybe get burned by other programs like cole brodie.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

I don't think many would disagree with you that we should have more acceptable behavior, however, this is big business, jobs on the line, pressure from boosters, etc. My guess is that we have done the same to other schools as well.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Embrace the status quo, if you like. I just think we should pursue a higher standard of acceptable behavior by public universities.
