Wednesday, April 14, 2004 is the spring National Letter of Intent Signing Day for mens and womens basketball. We should have a good idea of how are first DI recruiting class has shaped up sometime Wednesday. It will be interesting to see who the new Jacks are and where they come from. Does anyone know how many scholarships we have to offer to new athletes this year ?

Re: National Letter of Intent Signing Day
I am really looking forward to Wednesday. Dose anyone know what time SDSU will announce? As far as numbers go. Moving up from D-II to D-I means that we move up from 10 - 13 schalorships. Due to the 5/8 rule I believe we have 4 to give. We already have a commitment from Landon Scott and rumor has it that Matt Cadwell will also be a Jack so that leaves 2 spots open. (assuming we fund all 13)Originally posted by Rabbit74
On the Women's side we can go from 10 - 15. I am not sure if they have a 5/8 rule so I am not sure how many we can offer.
Here is a link to a site that shows the scholarship limits between D-I and D-II (please note that the I-AA football limit is 63):

Re: National Letter of Intent Signing Day
Thought I would add a little about the 5/8 rule for those who might have questions. Simply put a College or University can offer no more then 5 scholarships in one year and no more then 8 over a two year period. Here is a story that goes into a little more detail:

Re: National Letter of Intent Signing Day
Looking back to the Letter of Intent Day for Football, SDSU posted the list about 3:00pm. The time probably depends on when all of the expected letters actually arrive. I understand that they are usually faxed in first thing in the morning, frequently by the athletes high school coach. We will just have to keep watching the SDSU web site unless someone knows of an earlier way to find out and can post it here.Comment

Re: National Letter of Intent Signing Day
You guys should be able to sign five since it's your first year of DI, at least that's how I understand it. Also, you can't split scholarships in DI, except for I-AA football.Comment

Re: National Letter of Intent Signing Day
NDSU_grad,
You could be right that we have five to give, if last year does not count. That being said we still may only want to give four this year so that we are able to give four next year. Hard to say, but I guess we will know tomorrow.

Re: National Letter of Intent Signing Day
According to Craig and Mike on the afternoon talk show on Radio 1230 (KWSN) http://www.kwsn.com/
in Sioux Falls, there will not be any signings to be announced tomorrow for the women's team since they filled all of the slots in the early signing period in the fall. I believe they said there were two signed from Minnesota as well as the one from Sisseston and one from Huron.
Scott Nagy is going to on their talk show tomorrow afternoon to talk about the men's signings. The show is 3-5 but there wasn't any indication what time Nagy would be on. I will be at work and can't listen. Arron Johnston is scheduled to be on the show Thursday.Comment

89Rabbit, I am the same Rabbitt74 that registered earlier and messed up some way and can't get back in or re-register. It keeps kicking me out because my email address is already on the list. If I figure out how to get around the problem without getting a new e-mail address, I will register again.Comment
