Re: 2007 Recruits

wouldn't Casey earn a scholarship by his senior year? He plays as much, sometimes more than the scholarship players..just a thought

Great article on Brandon Valley's Dale Moss who will be considered one of the top players in South Dakota. It seems he has grown another inch to 6'5.

I heard Nagy was at BVHS today. Don't know if it was to recruit or not, but one can only assume. There are a few good ones to be had out there this year.

That made me smile. I'm not insinuating anything about this kid, because he's probably a legit 6'5". What made me smile was the fact that every year from the beginning of the football season to the beginning of the basketball season, I always seemed to grow an inch. I'm about a penny's width short of a legit 6'4" and have been that height since I was 15. Every football season I was listed as 6'4". Every basketball season I was listed as 6'5". Then back down to 6'4" for football. (we used to measure our height with our shoes on during basketball season - same coach for hoops and football.)

When I was in H.S. we (students) actually put together the programs in one of our classes.  Heights often changed throughout the bball season.  I ranged from 5'8" to 6' (actual is 5'10&quot.  One of our big guys ranged from 6'1" to 6'5" (actual 6'3&quot.  Of course, none of us were anyone's college radar so we were able to have a little fun with it.

Re: 2007 Recruits

SD will be hard pressed to produce 5 athletes this year in the senior class at the DII level and higher. Currently only 5 are being recruited at that level. If this year seems down...........wait until next year.......it will be worse.

Thanks for the info Cadsev and welcome back I hope.

Re: 2007 Recruits

As of now SDSU only has three offers to stretch out in the 2008 & 2009 recruiting classes (obviously this could change with athletes transferring).  Offers are pending to some athletes in the 2008 & 2009 classes (yes some SD kids) and they could close the book on these two classes in the forseeable future.  As for the 2010 class that is a different story as they most likely could have as many as 6 scholarships for that class.  Good thing, our state will have some solid DI prospects (as in more than one) in the 2010 class.  One may have to look no further than Roosevelt High School to find three potential recruits for the Rabbits although one of those may be recruited on a much higher level.

Sam Willard is the only SD kid to be offered in the 2007 class.  There is a possiblity that Dale Moss may receive an offer but that remains to be seen.  Willard has narrowed his choices down to five schools including:

Santa Clara
Pacific
Princeton
Northern Colorado
SDSU

If he stays home one could say he's the first big SD recruit landed by SDSU (since moving to DI) as he's by far the best the 2007 Senior class has to offer.

This statement caught my attention. Is Willard that much better than Anthony Cordova? I'll admit I don't personally pay a great deal of attention to the high school recruiting buzz, but I was under the impression that Cordova was a a pretty good get for SDSU's program. What are the comparisons between Cordova and Willard as potential D-I players?

[jackmd]

Re: 2007 Recruits

My understanding is that Willard is much more "refined" with at least as much talent if not plenty more. I think we will learn more about Cordova this year. Cordova certainly wasn't on Princeton's radar.

What I think is odd in including Northern Colorado.

For starters one would be eligible right away and not have to sit out a year. The statement was made in reference to SDSU landing the #1 top senior in the class. Cordova I do not believe warrented that title last year. You could argue others such as Tveidt or Finley. Willard is a true 5 man and maybe could be used as a 4. He's extremely athletic and hard working. The Jacks are pleased with Cordova and he's putting in a lot of effort. Too bad he's not eligible to compete this year. They could certainly use his help.

Tell me more about Cordova and this eligibility issue. If I am understanding you he is not eligible this fall. Will he be eligible at semster break? Does he lose one year or do 4 years remain? Maybe this issue was adressed earlier and I missed it.

Re: 2007 Recruits

Prop 48.....all DI athletes have 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility so he basically loses a red shirt year. He also can't practice with the squad or individual workouts but can play in "open gyms".

Dale Moss has been offered by SDSU.

Interesting, why isn't he eligible this year?
