    6'5 300lb DT recruit out of Nebraska. He was one of the jewels in the last 17 class.

      Yeah, that hurts. Man, I hope he comes back.

        If he was going to be a freshman why is he at IWCC? he signed right? Grades an issue or just wants to go there a year first then see if he gets more offers?

          I'm assuming it's grades. Sounds like he wants to be here and he's still communicating with the other '17 recruits via twitter.

            Rashie Hodge is also on the way out. Listed on the roster but his twitter no longer mentions SDSU and now says #jucoproduct

              Damn it. His film was amazing. Thought we had an awesome SLB in him. Ugh.

                not saying they are a bust but this goes to show how hard it is recruiting etc, 2 that were coming this fall already are not going to be on campus after signing.

                  Anyone else wonder how good this roster would look if we would have redshirted Langer and Bobbit?

                    If you are a non-qualifier and need to go the JUCO route because of grades, you have to get your AA degree (two years) before you can transfer to a four year school, correct ?

                      If you don't qualify I believe you have to get your AA or an equivalent (whatever that means)..... I'm not sure if the fact he is at GCC (which I'm guessing is Glendale CC) is because of grades though, as I'm not sure you can sign if you are not qualified. You can commit as a non-qualifier but if I remember right you wouldn't show up on the roster and aren't an official member of the team.

                        Their grades and ACT scores are what they are when they sign in February so none of these were surprises to the coaching staff. If our staff doesn't want to deal with these types of issues then they need to take a longer look at a kid's transcript/test scores and value it at a closer level than their HUDL tape. Cause we'll never know what other recruit(s) got turned down to make room for these guys that can't even make grades out of high school and never step foot on campus. This part of recruiting isn't hard as kids don't all of a sudden become poor students in the classroom after they sign their NLI. We could see more of this with the early signing period as that is one less semester of grades to review and less time to improve their ACT/SAT score before making a decision on if they will make it or not.

                          If I see an opening for a recruiter I'll make sure to forward the link to you. Clearly SDSU is failing in their recruiting system.

                            Though I detect sarcasm, I fully agree. Rep pts. given.

                              This is why they sign so many.

                              ...in regards to academics remember, 11 of the 35 honored for the MVFC's President's Council Academic Excellence Award, were Jackrabbits. League best.

                                It sucks but every team has to deal. Hell we could have a team full of All-Americans that have flunked out of school. It happens every year.
