Re: GDT:SDSU JACKRABBITS VS PFW MASTODONS @ Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

I don't think that qualified as much of an upset - if I remember correctly, the announcers said Iowa State was favored by a small amount going in.

I'm glad someone else brought up Nevada - losing to 17 to an average New Mexico team.

We will be fine. If we string a few of these type of games together (like today), then there will be cause for concern. Even if that happens though, I have alot of confidence this team is gonna be a lot better come March.

Didnt know they were favored. Just saw a 17 point loss by the #5 team in the country.

Kansas having one of their best players not available likely factored into that.

Iowa state is also pretty good. Kansas didn't have the energy Iowa state had.

You mean like the 17 point loss to Iowa State today?

Those games are in actual environments where its difficult to be the opposing team. That environment in Ft. Wayne was an empty cavernous arena.

Some would say that is just as tough to play in.

If anyone is wondering how hard it is to win on the road in conference play you should checkout espnu and watch Nevada struggle right now with a 7-6 New Mexico team. They are down 59-43 with 9:09 left

It's college BB on the road - it happens. KU wins the Big 12 every year but even they have at least 1 dumbfounded road loss during conference play each year.

We could use Love right now too.

Re: GDT:SDSU JACKRABBITS VS PFW MASTODONS @ Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

Just to be clear - Nagy didn't take Love with him. TJ made the decision to let him go and Nagy gladly took him in once released from his NLI to SDSU. Cole Gentry (PG) also transferred to Wright State who we could probably use right now. But if Key would have stuck around, we wouldn't feel the same way. Then there was a big kid from Volga who was verbally committed to the Jacks when TJ arrived and he ended up at Augie. Not saying either of these moves was wrong, just keeping our facts straight.

SDSU just isn't very deep this year. They do have Daum, T. King, Flatten, Jenkins Jr but after that they have either redshirt or true freshmen. Nagy might have left the cupboard bare but TJ hasn't found his groove, yet, at SDSU. He has only been here for 2 2/3 years but he hasn't added much depth for this year other than Jenkins Jr.

Lets look at who he has brought in for depth for this years team-

His first class- He might have got here late in the recruiting season but Nagy took Love with him so TJ might have looked at somebody that he could have brought in or maybe not.
Howell- He would be a senior but he left after last year.
El Darwich- He was only here one year. He would either be a junior or a redshirt sophomore.

His second class-
Key- Would be a senior and is on scholarship but decided not to play.
Polk-Hilliard- Would be a senior but left after one season.
He did recruit 5 freshmen but redshirted 4 of them (Jenkins Jr).

His third class-
Carter III- He is sitting out because of transfer rules.
Owen King- He is a freshman that is playing.
Feign and Mims- They are both redshirting this season.

TJ did have Wallace transfer in too but he would have graduated last year so he wouldn't matter this season.
TJ has not been here very long and he has some players coming in but this team has 4 upperclass players. If you are only that deep, you can't have players having off nights against good teams.
I think some of the freshmen will be good but they have been in the system 2 years or less.

Just to be clear - Nagy didn't take Love with him. TJ made the decision to let him go and Nagy gladly took him in once released from his NLI to SDSU. Cole Gentry (PG) also transferred to Wright State who we could probably use right now. But if Key would have stuck around, we wouldn't feel the same way.

Re: GDT:SDSU JACKRABBITS VS PFW MASTODONS @ Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

Scheierman is pretty highly regarded in NE from what I read. I imagine that both him and Grill won't redshirt as they will be needed to play right away but it will be fun to see what happens. How many all state quarterbacks can you have on a BB team? I have a hard time getting too excited for these JUCO guys. They don't seem to stick around for very long not just for SDSU, but other schools as well. Too many have the grass is always greener over there attitude. But I am hoping it works out for him and the team.

I got a chance to watch Scheierman play over Xmas break. He didn't play point for them but the offense tried to run through him.....we played a box and one which took the ball out of his hands a lot.

From what I saw in one game, he is a load to handle when driving to the rim, has legit range upto 30 feet and has borderline elite vision. My one concern with him has always been foot speed. We played a slow game against him so it was hard to tell if it has gotten better....also defensively he played inside a lot so I couldn't tell if he could keep up with a quicker guard. From what I could see he definitely has a skillet that he could exploit and weaknesses that could be exploited, will be interesting to see how TJ uses him

Re: GDT:SDSU JACKRABBITS VS PFW MASTODONS @ Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

I think we'll be just fine next year.

We've got Jenkins back. We add a transfer from Washington in MCIII. We also add the highest rated recruit we've ever had at SDSU in Caleb Grill. Add to that the four RS freshman and one true freshman that are logging good minutes this year and you've got 7-8 bodies. We'll likely never go 9-10 deep consistently.

I agree. The Jacks are gradually getting better each season. Players have left in search of playing time, usually at a lower level, and not because SDSU is bad. They just don't want to sit on the bench. Notable exceptions are the two Nagy recruits who followed Nagy to Wright State and remain valuable contributors to that team.
