    Re: 2016 Recruits

    Anybody get the feeling that this might be a mutual parting of ways? I'm not too sure how a 280 lbs, non-shooting post would fit into Otzelberger's higher tempo style.

      Agree with the sentiment. I believe he could still actually resign with Jacks if he chose - although not likely.

        The odds of someone his size being physically ready to play less than a year after ACL surgery aren't great. Perhaps Coach didn't want to tie up a scholarship for a likely redshirt year. You may also be correct that he may not fit into the future style of play. Will be interesting if Nagy gets involved.

          ...or maybe he waited to see who was named coach, then simply decided to open up his recruitment.

            I would expect that he will be less than the 280# player he had been for football. Daum lost around 20# in his red shirt year. I would have been happy to see the youngster stick around.
            Best to remember these are kids and they are doing everything they can to entertain us, be scholars, and all in all be great humans. Jackedforlife

              Nagy is probably recruiting him. He seems to be going after all the guys that SDSU had its sights set on.

                I'm not going to hunt down the article, but I believe he said he wasn't planning on decommitting at the time. This was between coaches and he most likely wanted to see who was hired. Loudon appears to have approached the situation in a mature manner and took a wait-and-see approach, unlike some kids who decommit immediately after a coaching change is announced without finding out who the new coach will be.

                An example of this was just at Wright State, where one of their better players immediately announced he was going to transfer after the coach got fired, only to find out later that Coach Nagy was a good guy and had a system that would benefit him, so he had to "recommit" to the program.

                  It very well could be, though I'm not sure he wouldn't have been a fit for Otzelbergers system, as I highly doubt he'll be playing college ball at 280 lbs nor ever be asked to play 30+ minutes a game at any point in his career.

                  I guess without being privy to the conversation between TJ and Loudon, I won't assume one way or another.

                    Here is an article where Loudon talks about his release. It sure sounds more like he did not fit into the new SDSU system to be.

                      Well his assistant coach that was in charge of recruiting went with him so that would make sense.

                      The guy probably fits into Nagy's system more anyways.

                        I took his comments to mean that the head coach moved on and so is he. I wish him well.

                          What are you basing this on?

                            According to VerbalCommits Wright State only has three scholarship offers for 2017. All three are to kids that SDSU has offered and all three after Nagy and crew arrived. I think it is probably a fair assumption.

                                Are people really surprised by this? Nagy and company spent time getting to know these kids' abilities and personalities. Just because they change jobs doesn't mean they have a bunch of new kids that they have can offer. Recruiting, I assume, is a process that takes some time.
