2020 Recruiting List

Re: 2020 Recruiting List

To be fair, Zimmer has his hands full with covering pretty much half of all topics at the Argus for sports. He's not just covering SDSU, he's also trying to cover Augie, USF, high school, and everything else they throw at him.

That other stuff isn't his job though... he chooses to do that stuff 'for fun'.

Re: 2020 Recruiting List

From what I can tell, the two that are on Zim's list that aren't on this list are:

Isaac Appleget, 6-2, 190, Lincoln, Neb.
Other offers: USD, Indiana State, Austin Peay
Twitter Announcement: https://twitter.com/isaacappleget/st...67798687649792

Steven Arrell, 6-2, 185, Osseo, Minn.
Other offers: multiple D2 teams
Twitter: No Announement - https://twitter.com/ArrellSteven

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

One name on Zim’s list that hasn’t been reported here.
Steven Arrell, 6-2, 185, Osseo, Minn.
Other offers: multiple D2 teams

Also Zim has Isaiah Stalbard, transfer from Nebraska coming to SDSU. He was a walk-on DB at Nebraska.

*Now he has updated it to 26 players (down from 27) and removed Isaiah Stalbard, Nebraska transfer. So either he is removing Isaiah because he is a transfer or he isn't coming to SDSU.

Re: 2020 Recruiting List

This is what happens when you don’t give a **** about recruitment until two days before signing day.

Again Terry Vandrovec cared about recruiting and I don't think Zim has the passion for it. Thankfully you and others do!

Fixed it for ya.

Re: 2020 Recruiting List

Another interesting thing I noticed is Zimmer lists some other offers that weren't reported by the recruits. Apparently the Kusler twins had NDSU offers, Baloun, Van Meter and Appleget had USD offers, Davis and Gronowski from "multiple valley teams", Dustman had PWOs from Minnesota and Wisconsin, and Mueller had a PWO from Iowa.

Yup. I won't go into it here, but Zimmer is and always has been a D2 fanboy, and I think the best thing for him, the Argus, and SDSU would be to go back to covering the local NSIC scene full time and hire someone new for the SDSU beat writer. I'm not saying I want a beat writer who never writes a critical piece (I enjoy most of Matt's articles), but I could do without the sarcasm and arrogance in his twitter presence.

I don't mind the sarcasm, people say a lot of stupid things to him on twitter. I'd get tired of it too. I think Zimmer does a good job and we are lucky to have a beat writer. We don't want to end up with a 1/4 time beat writer like USeD has now.

I agree with this. Zimmer does just fine in my opinion and i really enjoy his writing and his personality/sarcasm on Twitter. With the state of the newspaper industry, we are fortunate to have anyone.

What an asinine comment. As a sports reporter at a paper that only has two full-time sports reporters, those are all part of his job. He does't choose to cover high school sports, Augie or USF for fun. That is assigned to him by the Argus, with SDSU being his main beat.

Well... those were his words, so...

Sorry, I misquoted him... Here are literally his words...

Not so asinine now, eh?

Re: 2020 Recruiting List

I think this class is a game changer and will move the Jacks to the next level!

Re: 2020 Recruiting List

Recruiting is so interesting to me. Seems there isn’t a ton of hype around this class but I remember a couple years ago when there was a ton of hype with Daniel Callendar and other people and that class didn’t turn out great. This years class looks solid all the way around. Development is key for any recruiting class. Are any of these players enrolling early?

I'll bet if you look back through the years better than 50% of the so-called "big-time" recruits don't pan out.

It's such a crap shoot, especially in football with injuries and then development whether that's the coaches or the actual player putting the work in. Daniel Callender was one that EVERYONE on here seemed to think was this can't miss stud. Turned into a dud. On the flip side you have Dallas Goedert. He was a preferred walk-on.

Most of our best players have been unheralded.

Zenner, Goedert, Wieneke, Brown, Rozeboom, Johnson, Strong.

I don't think any of them were hyped all that much on signing day.
