2016 Recruits

Re: 2016 Recruits

Also,PG Donovan Jackson is a teammate of Andre Wallace at Iowa Western CC, who is signed with Iowa State. Right after TJ was named as Jacks coach, he said he was going to take a week to decide about his future. He apparently sees TJ as a mentor as they both grew up in the Milwaukee area. According to the Cyclone Fanatic board, he is meeting with Coach Prohm on Thursday to talk about his future. Some think he may be having second thoughts since Morris, the current ISU point guard, did not declare for the NBA draft and is returning for his senior season. Jackson would have to be released by ISU in order to play somewhere else right away.

Don't forget about 6-8 stretch forward Lew Evans from Utah State. SDSU reached out to him and he will be eligible to play right away.

Re: 2016 Recruits

The signing period runs until May 18. There is 3 weeks for the staff to find a player or three to round out the team for next year. It would seem unlikely that they would try to go with too short of a crew in case of injury and the need for adequate practice numbers. They may not fill the 13 scholarships, but I would be surprised if there are 3 left open.

Daum and Reed are both following AJ Hess on Twitter. He plays at Southern Utah. Could be nothing, but he seems to have gotten hurt(broken ankle) this year and played only 6 games. Did not redshirt yet, so I assume he would have one year left. If he is set to graduate, he could be a possible Grad Transfer. Averaged nearly 12 points a game as a junior. As I look closer, TJ is following him on Twitter as well.

I believe players can still be added after the end of the signing period, they just don't sign a letter of intent.

This could be the young man who came to Brookings last Tuesday to look around. He could be a backup at the 4. I had heard he was 6'7" but he is 6'6" on the SUU roster.

He only played in 6 games this year due to season ending injury. Possibly waiting on a medical redshirt waiver from NCAA, since he was a Senior.

The Jacks have offered JuCo PG Julian Walters from NDSCS, looks like he averaged 19 points and 5 rebounds a game his sophomore year... http://verbalcommits.com/players/julian-walters

Julian was a first team DI NJCAA this year for NDSCS. Andre Wallace was also recognized on the second team as previously stated.

Re: 2016 Recruits

TJ does not seem to be ignoring the guard turnover from last year. The JUCO route seems to have some talented players available. It would be assuring to find another 4/5 player as well. The next few weeks will keep the coaches running. Has Coach Henderson made it to Brookings yet?

IMO I wish more kids would go this route. It saves a redshirt year and maybe gives a better idea of what level they can play at rather than having to transfer later on.
