2025 Recruiting

[Rabbit Fever]

Jimmy set the bar pretty low in regard to hypocrisy in coaching when he left. Hendo has dropped to a similarly low standard, but with a smile on his face. I don't care that they both took assistant coaches with them. Coaches are grown men who can do what they want. I don't even care that much that they took experienced Jackrabbit players with them. Today's pro-like, screwed-up, free agency system in college basketball encourages veteran, rostered players to check other playing and NIL opportunities. It does bother me that Rogers and Henderson both took future recruits - teenagers who had been scouted and signed at SDSU's time and expense. Coaches set a bad example when they act like high school recruits are their personal workforce and should follow them rather than honor their initial commitments to a school. I'll get over it, probably, and remain a big Jackrabbit fan. But these transitions sure have become painful.

I don't comment often, but I can't agree with you more on your post. Very well said.

What's even the point of (low) mid major DI hoops? The game itself sucks - a 3 point shooting fest. Why get excited about recruits? If they're good gone as sure as the the sun coming up in the east.

We knew that the Portal raiding was bad, but didn't think it was quite this bad. www.x.com/SeanPaulCBB/status/1909337627242942912

I'm looking forward to seeing what Andrell Burton can do coming off his redshirt. Looking at Verbal Commits ranking of last year's class, he was higher ranked than Larson and Hadnot. Was in Drake's class until their coaching change a year ago. Looks really athletic, but needed to add some weight. And we still do have Garry, Sayler, Jackson and Wilkinson coming back.

I heard from a current college student, that one day last fall, he was playing some pickup in Wellness, and it was ridiculous. Threw down a couple impressive dunks, and was hitting step back 3's and blocking shots.

Take that for what it's worth, he wasn't playing D1 athletes, but a pretty good former HS player.

I heard that Joe Sayler was looking great against Mims and Easley in practice during his redshirt season. He had flashes of greatness but was inconsistent.
I hope that both Burton and Sayler have a great season next year.
I am just waiting to see who SDSU brings in on both the men's and women's teams for next season.

We made an offer for a Point Guard.

I'd love to see the Jacks bring in seven-footer JT Rock from the transfer portal. He played high school ball at Sioux Falls Lincoln and is leaving Iowa State after a couple of seasons there. I haven't seen or heard any indications of where JT wants to go, but SDSU would be great fit for him.

Jaden Rogers, 6’6” wing commits to SDSU. Originally from Waukee, but played a postgrad year at Sunrise Christian in Kansas

Cole Christian was announced yesterday as an assistant on Bryan Petersen's staff. He was previously on the staff at Murray State, which is going through a coaching change. It looks like a number of Murray State players are in the portal. It will be interesting to see if we get in on anyone from the Racers.

The X account for Jaden shows an offer from Drake this month.

It looks like that's an offer for one of his prep school teammates that Jaden retweeted.

I did the same thing when I saw it the first time, Easy to mix up Jaden and Jalen.
