2016 Recruits

Re: 2016 Recruits

There were 2 pair of high school teammates with the Rock Valley(JD and Heemstra) and Madison(Feigen and White). It may be a long time before we see that happen in recruiting again. They all contributed to the emergence of Jackrabbit MBB success in Division 1. It is also hard to remember how frustrating it was during the early years of transition. The first year of the Summit, the record was 3-15 in conference. They lost the last game of the year to Centenary. I think we should give Nagy some of the credit for where the team has progressed.

And Garrett and Kai also. They really helped get this team going in the right direction.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Ok would somebody like to refresh my memory on how we got JD?

He verballed to Iowa St but never signed on the dotted line.

Re: 2016 Recruits

depends on what you want to say is the best. Biggest clutch shot or player in a game, easy was Griff. Best overall player ever, easy was Nate. Biggest recruit ever, I feel safe to say it was JD. Probably some of the most hyped recruits were White, Feigen, Carlson. They were huge parts of growing the program. I dont think with out them, Nate shines as brightly as he did. You put Wolters on those USD teams(shudder the thought of it I know), but they only become marginally better. Doesnt take them over the top. The pieces were there at SDSU and Wolters was the key piece.

Re: 2016 Recruits

I listed a number of players but left out Griffan Callahan. The way he played the game set the example of what it takes to be successful.

He owns one of the best clutch performances in SDSU history. Without him we don't beat Western Illinois in Nate's junior year.

Re: 2016 Recruits

Without that supporting cast, SDSU would still be looking for their first trip to the NCAA Tournament. That group turned the program around. Wolters didn't do it by himself. Has Wolters accomplishments helped with today's recruits/recruiting? Yep, but not as much as the past teams success. I don't think prep players are looking at what players have done there especially at the mid-major level. I think they pay more attention to the wins, losses, recent NCAA tournament appearances, and what direction the program is heading. Another big thing is obviously faculties, coaching staff, and what style of basketball they want to play. Point is, a superstar player will make a little impact in future recruiting, but not nearly as much as TEAM success which just happens to involve all those great role players that bigticket listed. So yes, really.

Re: 2016 Recruits

The last couple of pages of this thread crack me up.

There is no question that Nate Wolters is the best player in SDSU history. No debate whatsoever! However, he certainly isn't the biggest recruit out of high school that SDSU has landed. That would have to go to Jordan Dykstra. Dykstra was sought after by a number of D1 schools. Wolters wasn't recruited by nearly as many. It is sure easy for us to look back after their done and say this or that. My hindsight is fantastic.

We have the right crew here right now. They get along famously and yet challenge each other in a good way. The program is in great shape and is able to attract both recruits from high school and players like Larson, Parks, and Marshall. Succeess breeds success. Klink, Krabbenhoft, and Cooley are all strong recruiters. They have bright futures ahead of them and SDSU is in a good place as a result.

The guy that recruited Wolters is gone. As far as I'm concerned, his associtation with SDSU is done. He's a Coyote now. He made the choice. Hopefully he's happy with it.

I guess we can agree to disagree. Sorry for the dreaded thread drift. We can get back on topic.

Re: 2016 Recruits

I was just going to say, they were just as important as Wolters was.

True, Nate would not have glowed so much if he did not have a good supporting cast.

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.
