2016 Recruits

Re: 2016 Recruits

Another development on the "not at all surprising front." Steffon Mitchell has trimmed his list down to Utah State, Central Michigan, and Wichita State. Jacks no longer in the running for his services.

Re: 2016 Recruits

I am not too worried. What ever Nagy has been doing seems to be working. Transfers or Jucos or High schoolers. He is getting guys and playing pretty darn good.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Of the top-3 players on last year's team, none were traditional "recruits". Hopefully they are working on another guy from a similar source.

Re: 2016 Recruits

A couple of things, with basketball I tend not to worry as much like I would football, you are looking for 3-5 scholarship players per class tops in most years.

2nd, its a fairly large team, red-shirted a player last year, had a handful of freshman and red-shirt freshman as well, also have a few freshman coming in. Its not like its 2007 and we are coming off of a year where we suited up 7 players.

3rd. Its somewhat early, I know early signing period, but in the past 5 years transfers have changed the way the game has been played BIG TIME. And that is stuff that generally isn't reported until right up until a decision is made, as fall-camps get started that is when players start doing the background work if they feel they are thinking about transferring. JuCo's- recruiting on many of them pick up after the 1st semester, and yeah late signings, SDSU has had a ton of success in late signings (arguably better than early signings)

The JUCO angle makes sense. We have two freshmen guards who more than likely will redshirt. Its hard to imagine Nagy turning over the reigns a year from now to two redshirt freshmen who have no game experience. You would think that with the success that Deondre Parks has had here and that he is the consensus preseason Summit POY might help in attracting a JUCO. And we have one very good player currently on the roster who could play guard next year. Reed Tellinghuisen is a natural 2/3 who is playing PF only because of the 3 outstanding senior guards/wings that we have. You would think he moves outside next season

Re: 2016 Recruits

Jacks have 5 senior guards graduating in 2016. Not had a lot of success in the 2016 class yet as all offers have accepted at other schools. Will be interesting to see who plan B is?

Especially this year,we really have no idea who plan A,B or C might be. We went from a beat writer who seemed to thrive on digging up recruiting news to one who has only been full-time for 6 weeks and has said he doesn't really get into recruiting like TV did. I'm not ripping Zimmer for that - he has not had a chance to develop relationships with Div.I sources/contacts like his predecessor had done over a period of many years. When the topic of recruiting came up in the live chat yesterday Matt said he was going to practice today and would ask Nagy about where things stand. At this time of year,coaches will not/cannot say who they are recruiting. So we may have to wait and see what happens in a month - if I remember correctly,we really didn't know about the 2 guards we signed last spring until shortly before it happened.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Looks like Loudon Love-Vollbrecht at 6'8 285 not surprisingly has football offers too. UNI offered last month. Maybe Stig needs to go on next recruiting trip with Nagy to Ill.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Aaron Cook verballed to Southern Illinois.

Re: 2016 Recruits

We've probably been out of the running for this kid since he blew up over the summer, but Reed Nikko commits to Missouri.

Re: 2016 Recruits

I guess we better hope USD and the Bison are out of scholarships. This doesn't solve our 2016 situation.

I believe the early signing period is what , over a month away ?

Re: 2016 Recruits

That's good to hear. We've been on the kid for a while and he appears to be very talented. Hoping a high major doesn't come in late on him.

It appears there is some interest by Nebraska with Molinari working on his recruiting.
