Seems we’re over a scholarship. Is someone leaving?

Today MBB Twitter shows 4 earlier committed for 2023. Wilkinson is not on this yet.

The next South Dakotan who has an offer in 2024 class is Porter Ihnen. He is a 6'6 wing from Lennox who will remind you a lot of Baylor with headband and left hand stroke... He was first team all state and here are highlights from his Junior year. Also has offer from USD. Junior Season 2022-2023 - Porter Ihnen highlights - Hudl

Don't know what the situation is here, but a gray shirt walks on for a year with the promise of going on scholarship after that.

Well that is not a gray shirt. A gray shirt really only applies to football players and does not work for basketball players. The player must complete 4 years of play in a 5 year period after you enroll into school. So a gray shirt is when the student delays his enrollment until the second semester of his freshman year. This way the 4 years in a 5 year period is delayed by one semester allowing the student to play in the fall semester of his 6th year after graduating from High School.

I had a friend who's son went through this at Boise St. They wanted him to walk on and delay his enrollment one semester so he had two years to develop his body. So the kid stayed home the first semester just lifting and working out at home until the spring semester and then enrolled at Boise St.

The reason this does not work for basketball is because they play in both semesters, where football is usually played in the first semester.

His tweet said scholarship offer but I guess I don’t know how that all works

Or walk-ons for a year.

Wilkinson will be a great addition for the basketball team. I thought he might wind up a football player. It will be nice to have a full roster and a deep bench for a change.

I didn't know SD talent was that deep.

[bigticket1]

This also means 15 players on the roster for next season if everyone returns. That would mean two walking on, and likely some redshirts/ grayshirts. Would have six players 6'8 or taller and two more at 6'7.

WKIII plays bigger than he is too.

Wilkinson just committed to SDSU to play basketball!

I love this. This NCAA tournament showed me how important it is to have a true big man to protect the rim and rebound. SDSU has lacked that. Wilkinson stands at 6’10 right now.

After Squires comes in after next year, they'll have two !

Interestingly enough, Wilkinson really doesn’t have many offers for basketball, but the Jacks did offer him for football as a DL last year. Maybe he could pull a Dale Moss (Minus being on The Bachelor in 10 years?)

and his high school coach is Tylee Irwin's dad. I had the same impression about him being pretty highly regarded


on a related future roster note. i did not get to watch that much of the SD boys state tourneys. did they say where the big kid from DeSmet is going?
