Re: 2017 Recruits
Didn’t know where else to put this. David Jenkins Jr broke Mike Daum’s freshman scoring record tonight. 520 pats to 518.

Re: 2017 Recruits
Correct - they likely just go to where the AAU tourneys are. Doesn't necessarily mean our recruiting footprint is changing.

Re: 2017 Recruits
I would guess they are going to AAU tournaments - if so, that would be for '18 and beyond.

Re: 2017 Recruits
saw a bunch of Tweets that both men's and women's basketball coaches were fanning out recruiting today. Is this for '17 or '18 (A couple women's assistants were in North Carolina and the head women's coach was in Arizona, according to a couple of the Tweet maps. Aree we expanding the recruiting map that far?)

If you look at the teams in the summit, Denver and NDSU don't have any rankings over 2 star. their team avg is 2. USD and SDSU have a play or two who was over 2. so team ranking is just above 2.0. how ever IPFW and IUPUI have the highest star avg for teams in the summit. I don't know if any of those players who are above 2 on those teams are any good or if they played or reshirted etc, but at our level I don't think it really matters much. If you look at the best players in the conference. I think all of them are 2 stars. Seems the ranking stuff is more for power conferences to brag about its players more then it translates to wins etc.

Re: 2017 Recruits
That is a lot of talent being brought in! I'm sure some will rise to the top and some will unfortunately be misses. What will really be important is how soon they get to Brookings and how hard will they work. With that many new faces it is going to take time to mesh. Moreover, many of these guys have been stars in high school and in JUCO/prep school. How will they adjust to being at best, the second option on the team.
It is easy to work hard and get a rhythm when you are the star, but when you are not the focal point of the offense it can be easy to take possessions off and lose your focus. I think Brandon Key will be fine with his role as he appears to be a floor general and not a scorer. He might be a quicker, smaller version of Orris, who may pass more than dribble. The rest of the mix will be difficult to sort out. Polk-Hilliard and Reed are similar players on paper and both will likely have to spend time as a 3 or 4 on the floor. Often they will have to guard the opponents 4, unless we have rotations with both Daum and Theisen are on the floor at the same time. That still leaves at least six guys battling for playing time at the guard/small forward positions.

Generally speaking if you are above a 70 rating you have numerous D-I offers. That is kinda what I've noticed. Some recruiting sites have a local reporter who can help with a players ratings, I live in Arizona and I think its scout has a full-time reporter (who does a good job) and he gets some of those marginal players rated.

Originally posted by bigticket1 View PostThe five high school players make up a very balanced class. You could argue that there is a player that fits all 5 positions, which hopefully pays off in a veteran starting line-up when they are juniors and seniors.
