2016 Recruits

Re: 2016 Recruits

Orris provides depth at PG next season. IMO, Gentry was the only true PG on the roster (maybe Darwich also?). Doesn't look like Orris can shoot a lick, but he has solid assist/to ratio.

Huge caveat: never seen the dude play.

I'm assuming this is a "add depth and experience" kind of move and not a "add a major contributor" kind of move based on his stats. Career 17% 3 point shooter and 30% over all. Yikes.

Need one more big for this year if we can...

Re: 2016 Recruits

That gets up to 12 players on scholarship, so there would still be a scholarship available for a grad transfer big if one would become available.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Looks like Coach Otz wants a lot of competition coming into the season, which is a good thing.

While Flatten, Severyn, King, Dykman, and Gentry may very well come into their own next year and replace what was lost to graduation without missing a beat, they definitely aren't going to be handed anything.

Our only real known quantities coming into the 2016-17 season are Daum, Theisen, and Telly. Better to hedge our bets by adding experienced college basketball players than just banking on the development of some of our younger, inexperienced players.

You're quick! I just saw that, and was going to post it.

I know nothing of this young man...but I was hoping for a big guy.

Maybe the plan is to continue to play small ball?

We may be looking over Dykman as a solid contributor at the 4. We can still use more depth there, but he may be able to fit that spot in the rotation. Daum can move to the 5 as part of the rotation. Hess and Telly could slide in there as needed at the 4.

Re: 2016 Recruits

There has been some SDSU people following Michael Orris who is red shirt junior at Northern Illinois. He began as freshman at K-State. He is 6'2" guard who had minutes drop in season 2 at NIU. It could be some interest to have more players on roster for practice. He has not had any eye catching stats. He would likely qualify as grad student.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Utah State grad transfer post Lew Evans won't be a Jackrabbit (felt like we weren't ever really in the running) as he has committed to play for the Tennessee Volunteers according to ESPN.
