Not much question on where the best in South Dakota want to play and who is truly South Dakota's team. After watching the Nebraska/Iowa game you wonder what could have been with Seth Benson and Luke Reimer at SDSU.

Do you have any idea how many scholarships are available ? There are 16 seniors listed on the roster, but a number of players opted out and more have left, or are leaving SDSU. Plus then you add in how many seniors will take advantage of the extra year of eligibility, and it's enough to make my head spin.

Amazing how many of the South Dakota recruits committing in are at the "skill" positions.

[UWMandSDSU]

Ethan Headlee, OL from Harrisburg with a PWO offer from SDSU. His two brothers played at USD. His parents are owners of the SF Storm. He is a top 5 lineman in SD this year.

[Project-Badass]

The common theme with this class seems to be versatility and athleticism. A QB like Jase Bauer or Marcus Morgan would be the perfect way to wrap up the class.

I really like Jase Bauer. Would love to see him come up here to play. Just led Ankeny to a state championship, took out Dowling Catholic in the semis.

Yeah, I think that is certainly a factor in this class. The roster is obviously changing and just because a senior said they wanted to come back for a 6th year in September doesn't mean they actually will next fall (not saying this is the case). It honestly is super hard to know because of how scholarships are split or given for 3 years or 2 years. I don't have an answer for that. I'd look for us to add a QB still (Bauer, Morgan, or Cade Rice), maybe a scholarship OL (Derreck Brown from AZ), maybe a true difference maker at WR (Bryce Lance or Dorian Singer) and a few more PWO type players. This class may actually be done in December and we sign no one in Feb.

I watched an interview with Scott Frost coach of Nebraska and he indicated due to the pandemic they have focused more on the region for recruiting. They have also experienced a lack of retention with south Florida athletes and need to focus more on the person and so those that would thrive at Nebraska and less on the athlete. Not being able to bring recruits in has pushed many schools to take a regional recruiting approach and it may work out for the best in many instances. We have definitely seen this at SDSU for 2021. It appears USD with lack of success in the region has had to go further out.
