2011 Recruiting List

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I challenge anyone to recall this young man's name four months from now, you know the one headed to UND. I forgotten already.

I seriously think we should try and see what we can do to get this Anthony Shivers kid here. He is too good to play for U of Mary.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I thought so too, but I do know our staff is very disappointed and feel like they were done a disservice in this situation. I understand that its about what is best for the young man and if a full ride and a chance to play right away are all he is about than he did make the right choice. We're looking for a team player that will sacrifice and work his way into the system. If the chance to play for a great coach, in a great system, and work hard to get on the field aren't in his best interest than he probably is in the right place.

Still can't wait to see a Jackrabbit squash him and his green uniform.

I guess I am being harsh, oh well. I probably shouldn't expect people to keep their word. Their just words anyways.

Had he not been offered more money, he would have followed his verbal. Jacks didn't want to give him a full-ride, for whatever reason, so he went where it was offered.

Verbals are non-binding contracts. I don't see what the big deal is that he changed his mind. Teenagers do it all the time.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

sure didnt hear any complaining when sherlock verbaled to usd and then came to sdsu!

I dont blame the kid. If the coaches felt he was so great, they would have offered more.

As for the rb from az, if the coaches found the other kid from the same school, dont ya think they would be aware? If the kid is that good, dont ya think some d2 school in that area would have given some offer also? The only offer is from u of mary? how many d2 schools are there between az and nd anyway?

While recruiting is getting better out here in AZ there is still alot to be desired. Kids do get looked over here.

Not talking about those guys. I'm looking at it from SDSU's perspective. The young man made his decision and I have little doubt that he understood the consequences. Those consequences included me wanting someone to crush him on the field, not hurt him, just crush him. Might be my competitive spirit coming through or perhaps I have a personality disorder. I think its a little of both.

If his decisions are based on a twinkle in Grandpa's eye - to the Sue he goes.

It doesn't bother me that he went there but that just made me puke. I would have been more upset over the Andrews kid. He really looks like a player.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

Can't wait to see him get crushed by D-lineman or LB wearing a Jackrabbit uniform. Give a commitment, reassure the program you are committed, then at the last minute change your mind. I know Stig is disappointed and he should be. There was likely a better person who would have ended up a Jackrabbit and we didn't get the chance to find that out (maybe I'm being too harsh).

If he didn't have family ties with UND I would be more upset. We also picked up the kid that Colorado released after he had actually signed,so we were on both sides of some unique situations.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

I think that it is a bit harsh. SDSU only offered a partial, UND offered a full-ride with a probably decent chance to see playing time. UND was a better chance for him.

I thought so too, but I do know our staff is very disappointed and feel like they were done a disservice in this situation. I understand that its about what is best for the young man and if a full ride and a chance to play right away are all he is about than he did make the right choice.

Re: 2011 Recruiting List

... His talent seems too good for U of Mary D2 Northern Sun Conference. The Northern Sun scholarship limits are 24 and are often split several ways so I suspect they have not promised him much athletic money, but will have to rely on Pell grants etc. I do not blame him for not signing. I would hope our staff is aware of Anthony.

From what I am hearing that is exactly the case, but don't worry I am emailing coach as we speak, it can't hurt to make sure
