2015 Recruits

Re: 2015 Recruits

It would be great to have the freshman of the year again in 2017. One of the 2 Jackrabbits to beat out Geu at Fargo would be fantastic.

Re: 2015 Recruits

Possible immediate impact redshirt freshman for the 2016-2017 season

Adam Dykman – South Dakota State


Jackrabbit fans should be seriously excited for this Nebraska native. Dykman did not see many offers out of high school but was named Mr. Basketball for the state of Nebraska in 2015 after averaging 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks a game his senior season. Several members of the Nebraska High School basketball community were confused that the 6’7″ forward did not see any offer from the three in-state Division 1 basketball programs.


In his redshirt season with the Jackrabbits, Dykman put on 12 pounds, and will be competing for minutes in a front court with a lack of depth at this point. He can post up as well as go outside and shoot from long range, as he shot 42% for his career on threes in high school. Summit League teams are not looking forward to matching up with Dykman and 6’9″ post Mike Daum for the next few years.


Cole Gentry – South Dakota State


After graduating three guards, the Jackrabbits will be looking for someone who can be their starting point guard under their new coaching staff. The team could be looking to Northern Illinois transfer Michael Orris, who started in 22 games as a junior for the Huskies, but Orris may not be the right guard for an up-tempo style that the Jackrabbits want to play, so the 5’10” Gentry could get the nod to run the team offense.

Re: 2015 Recruits

So if he gets his JUCO degree after next year, he would have 3 years of eligibility remaining.

Appears so. I checked Albany's stats for this year and McKinley wasn't on them.

Also, McKinley doesn't have to get his associates degree next year in order to transfer to another program. Only academic non-qualifiers out of high school need to get their associate's degree to transfer to a D1, 4-year institution (D2, D3, NAIA does not require an associate's to transfer to from JuCo). If a kid was academically qualified out of high school, which McKinley apparently was since he was accepted into Albany, and chooses to go the JuCo route, he does not need to get his associates degree to transfer D1(though he still has to meet a certain standard of academic progress toward a degree).

Re: 2015 Recruits

What's a roller coaster relationship McKinley had with Albany. The kid committed to them, then withdrew his commitment, the recommitted to them, only to transfer away from Albany after 1 year in which he redshirted.

Re: 2015 Recruits

Kyle McKinley, a 6'10 post from Stillwater,MN who the Jacks recruited, is transferring from Albany NY to NE Community College in Nebraska according to MN recruiting expert Ryan James. Will be interesting to see if the Jacks show any interest. He would have two seasons of eligibility after next season in Nebraska.

Amazed how many MN Preps who feel the need to commit to far away mid-majors when much better opportunities exist much closer to home!

Re: 2015 Recruits

Yes, those teams also include Chad Peters, Brad Peterson, and a few others that all played football at SDSU.

Thanks looks like we were in the right place at the right time, but Mor went to Northern? Oh well.

Re: 2015 Recruits

Thanks for the background, always of interest to me. Was this the same team that included Mike Struck, who currently does football color with Tyler?

Re: 2015 Recruits

Just for everybody's information...Matthew's father is Ryan Mors, the current AD at Yankton. Ryan played on all those great Huron football and basketball teams that Huron had in the early 90's. Ryan is about 6'4/6'5 range and played football at Northern. Just a quick fun fact, Mors was my 5th grade teacher and his wife Aimee was my PE teacher, we had a class party when Matthew was born.

Re: 2015 Recruits

As long we are mentioning kids to watch, if you get a chance go to a Yankton game and watch Matthew Mors. He's only a 7th grader and plays quite a bit. If you were to try and pick out the 7th grader on the team, he would not be the one you would select. Who knows how he will develop, but he is 6'4 now and looks pretty well put together. Maybe he won't grow anymore? Who knows. For a 7th grader in AA he holds his own really well.

Not to mention that the kid can shoot. He was 5-9 behind the arc against Washington for 15 points.

Re: 2015 Recruits

I was in Colman last Saturday and called the game. Kid is good...very good!!!!

Re: 2015 Recruits

I didn't see a category for 2019 recruits, but I saw a really good freshman play last night when I called the Bridgewater-Emery vs. Ethan game. His name is Sawyer Schultz... I'm not usually one to brag up on a player, but I think this kid is the real deal. Good speed, nice touch with the shot, good court vision and he'll pick your pocket cleaner than a hood from Brooklyn. I hope Coach Nagy has his eyes on him.

Coach's kid. He'll be a good one.
