2016 Recruits

Re: 2016 Recruits

Ok people all I'm asking is for you to sit back and think about other possibilities rather than get so defensive. Do you think it is easier to recruit if you have a successful program or a below average one? Yes Nate Wolters helped in recruiting a ton.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Perhaps Joe will take Nagy's job once he moves on?

He seems like someone who could climb the coaching ladder fairly quickly,be it here or somewhere else.

Certainly a possibility.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Yes, Average Joe as his enemies in SF referred to him, had a big hand in recruiting George M. Joe Krabberhoft is more than an average joe, and I think he has very bright future in coaching.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Isn't George Marshall here because of Joe Krabbenhoft connection? He's still on our staff ...

Re: 2016 Recruits

Oh my fault on the best recruiter. I see where I was confusing(I confuse myself most of the time). I was referring to Nate as our best recruiter. Success breeds success and people wanting to be part of it.

You are confused. Nate was our best recruit. Not recruiter. Recruit being a noun and recruiter being a verb. As for Austin Hansen, he has long been off my mind. We are doing just fine. How are the yotes doing? Do you have a Vermillion address?

Re: 2016 Recruits

Recruits are very hit and miss some work out some don't. But there also is a big ripple effect also. How would this team look if we had not had Nate (who was not recruited by our staff)? Cody L fell in our lap, Jake B drove down to the tourney and recruited himself, George M is here because of success Nate achieved and we probably don't get Deondre P if we didn't have the rest. This years jr class (what's left of it) is not so much. Yes this years team I am excited for but are we living off the past? OldHare you are correct .......Losing out to red stings. Just a thought.

Re: 2016 Recruits

There is no denying that Coach Hansen landed the best recruit/player in school history, but beyond that he hasn't landed any of the other big names, so calling him our best recruiter is a stretch. That honor goes to Coach Klink as any kid out of Iowa, along with Parks and Bittle were his targets. He also was the key guy in Griff Callahan transferring to SDSU. Hansen was responsible for Minnesota and Wisconsin recruiting and beyond Nate, we had little success there. Enter Coach Krabbenhoft, who has already made a big impact on our program recruiting wise with George Marshall and now Coach Nagy and Co. are popping up all over Twin Cities and Wisconsin Gyms according to Twitter. As someone pointed out earlier we were spoiled by Terry V's dedication to covering our program and getting insight on recruiting. My guess is that we have several scholarship offers that just aren't documented on Verbalcommits.com or rivals.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Didn't know I was gonna strike a nerve but that's ok. Austin Hansen is his name but I don't remember saying I was crying over the deal.

Re: 2016 Recruits

As the saying goes " If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas". Assistant coaches are important in recruiting but if recruits aren't comfortable with the head coach (who seals the deal) they are not going to commit. And I would like to think that our assistant coach with a Wisconsin connection just might have had something to do with George Marshall being here and with signing the two well-regarded freshmen guards from the Chicago area (which long has been a strong Wisconsin recruiting area.) The un-named former assistant apparently no longer wanted to be here,so I'm not going to shed any tears because he's gone.

Amen well said.

Re: 2016 Recruits

It would appear we have brought some sturdy recruits in the past couple of years. The MBB is also the preseason favorite in 2015-16 Summit. It would appear our freshmen for this year appear to be quality recruits who may be contributing right away. It might be a bit early to dismiss the current staff as being lost. It is disappointing to see some people end up wearing red though.

Re: 2016 Recruits

To bad our best recruiter left a couple years ago.
