2011 Recruiting List

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

It looks like they'll be able to fill in the spots nicely. I'd like to see a QB signed and some beef up front on the defensive line. It all starts up front.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Are we still limited to 20 scholarships this year? I can't remember having this many locked up 3 weeks out from signing day before.

I think the total 63 is the magic number and if we have to sign 30 to get to that number then that is what will happen. If you recall Coach Stig sensed some problems with commitment amongst the existing scholarship holders and some might not be back next fall.

I agree I like the talent that we are offering. Lets hope the harsh winters do not take a toll on the Arizona Kids. Those who want to be here will adjust, just like Jimmy Rogers did.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Has anyone heard if any of the other prospects from Arizona Scottsdale Chapparal have committed elsewhere or plan to visit SDSU?

We have 4 offers out to Chaparal players:

DT Justin Jackson
MLB Kyle Combs
OLB Hunter Gregg
S Colby Targun

Jackson is in on a visit this weekend. I'm not sure if we still have an offer out to Combs since we already have a MLB signed in Mohr and we are also recruiting a MLB out of Illinois (Lally).

Haven't heard anything about Gregg or Targun. I think the latter would be a good signing, as he has an offer from Kent St.

The position I'm really interested in is DE. Right now we have 3 seniors and 3 R-Freshman so after next year the position will be really thin. It would be nice to land either of the two we have offers out to:

DE -J.R. Plote**, 6'3" 235, AZ Phoenix - Mountian Pointe, http://bit.ly/ajftax
Offer from Air Force, New Mexico St
DE David Sutton, 6'4" 245, NE Lincoln-Southeast, http://bit.ly/eJDacJ
Offer from Ohio

Wouldn't be surprised to see a JUCO DE sign.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

This lineup of commits looks outstanding!!! We have locked up some very good skill positions.

S - Drew Kreutzfeldt, 5'11" 185, SD Chester, http://bit.ly/iivN9J

The question I have is we have only 1 offensive lineman commit, and according to the first page list - only 5 offers out to off/def linemen. 3 of those linemen are from AZ, 1 from IL, and 1 from NE. Is this going to be a weak point of this signing period? I hope we have a few hidden gems out there. Fortunately, we got a few studs in the last couple of years.

In addition, we have 12 commits. Are we still limited to 20 scholarships this year? I can't remember having this many locked up 3 weeks out from signing day before.

There are two offensive line commits listed above, and with a fairly large number of quality young offensive linemen on the team right now, i wouldn't be surprised if that is all we see this year.

Has anyone heard if any of the other prospects from Arizona Scottsdale Chapparal have committed elsewhere or plan to visit SDSU? We were looking at a handful of players from there, and they all seemed talented and highly recruited, so I was hoping we would land a couple.

We actually have 2 offensive lineman commits.

Quote from Terry V. about the number of recruits on his weekly chat yesterday: "Should be in the range of 20 and roughly one at every spot on the field. I think they're about halfway there right now."

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I have a good feeling that Kline will end up at SDSU. He had reported earlier to GopherHole that SDSU was his favorite and to be honest, we might be the only DI school offering him. Also, his teammate from last year Dijon Starr plays for the Jacks.

The interesting thing will be to see if he ends up sticking at QB or moving to WR or S. I kind of picture him as a Corey Jeske type player in that he will be a backup QB for his first couple years but if Sumner is as good as we all hope, Kline will switch positions so we can get him on the field.

TV tweeted that the latest SDSU verbal Cam Jones in tight with Kline and that should help SDSU.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I spoke to an assistant coach from Blaine, MN this weekend. He said that Kline is a good kid, good athlete, and likes SDSU. He did say that there is another Asst Coach on Blaine's staff who played for the Bison and is in Kline's ear about NDSU quite a bit, and is doing what he can to shred SDSU and Brookings. Which is funny, because we all know that Fargo is the beacon of light in the upper midwest.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Per twitter.com/terryvandrovec

Burnsville senior Cam Jones has given a verbal to play football at SDSU. The 6-6, 230-pounder will move from QB to TE.

rivals
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...n-Jones-107057

-Great size for a TE, looks to move really well for how tall he is and also looks like he could comfortably add on another 20 lbs.

-We've done a good job of grabbing kids from the Minneapolis metro the past two years. It's always good to build connections with the TC programs.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Very excited about Gandy and Butler!

Sounds like a couple of very good recruits.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I'm assuming SDSU will be bringing in another group of players for visits this weekend.

Among them will be DE/DT Justin Jackson from Arizona. Currently we are his only offer but he has a visit lined up with Montana State next weekend.

DT -Justin Jackson, 6'3" 250, AZ Scottsdale - Chaparral
