Re: Cadwell

Because then we have a scholarship that we cant give to someone else.

You stated that as simply as you could, but it probably still went over his head.

Nice try though. ;D ;D ;D

Go State!!! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Re: Cadwell

First of all why are we releasing them from there scholarship... make them sit out a year.... second of all I can't blame Cadwell for leaving when he was recruited here Loney was the only other scholarship player still here... People make too much out of attitude... don't say Cadwell had a bad attitude there was 8 scholarship players at the end of the year on the team... The team is very young and inexperienced and its hard to be a leader when your not that experienced yourself... I hope Cadwell pulls an AJ and returns.....

I'm just going to disregard that statement. Attitude IS everything. You might have the best players in the world but if they lack the instinct and attitude to win, it won't happen. I really believe Caddy would have turned things around next year. All I was stating in an earlier post is that I don't think we should be happy he's transfering, we need depth and some people with experience. Who else is gonna hit the shot at the end right?

In regard to the statement above: Just because Loney was the only scholarship player at the time and we only had 8 schollies at the end of the year does not make it ok to have a bad attiude no matter who you are.

Re: Cadwell

Ok, heres what I am getting at, yes attitude is everything but I think in general Caddy has a good attitude... I had a friend in high school that played 8-9-10 with upper classmen was a great pressence on the court and everybody believed he had a great attitude. He played his junior year as the only returning lettermen and everybody attacked his attitude as being bad.... I should of said that his attitude is understandable, there is 2 kinds of bad attitude there is the cancer player and then there is the guy that is put into a situation that just doesnt suit him and doesnt respond to it best, that is what I think the case with Caddy was.

Re: Cadwell

You might site the freshman year success in offense, which Cadwell did have. Could it be his success was due to unfamiliarity of our opponents and not having game tapes to watch him? It seemed to me the end of this freshman year Cadwell was covered and covered well by opponent defense. This past season he was very much covered and defended which lead to more frustration for all. I guess what I am suggesting is that perhaps there is something missing talentwise to have a very successful offensive career at the D1 level. I not sure how he did on defense. I dont think anyone can recall any bad moves that gave up points. Defensively he might have been D1, but offensively I do question.

If Cadwell decides to move down to D2 and have a more productive career offensively, then I think SDSU and Matt both win.  Matt stays on scholarship and completes his graduation requirements. SDSU mean time is free to go after another recruit better suited for D1 competition.

It was not a happy marriage this past season. We can't blame Matt for all of this past seaon, but in my mind I dont blame him for transferring out of SDSU either. Some coaches thought and sold Matt that he was a bonified D1 player when in fact he might not have been. Who would know this best but Matt?

Re: Cadwell

As I posted in another thread:

All y'all would make me really happy tonight if y'all would discuss posts and not posters

(Incidentally, Haldersham's latest in this thread is a positive example for others to follow . . . )

Re: Cadwell

Why I don't about this situation, is that our men's program is again dealing with another potential defection. The turnover rate is way too high and has to be used against us in recruiting, either by other schools or by the athletes themselves in deciding where they want to go. SDSU is not keeping these students and the bb program is not keeping its athletes.

I know that each case is different and often times it is the best thing the student-athlete could do. I went to BHSC for a week, withdrew and enrolled at SDSU. Then I transferred to UofM Morris for a semester and came back and finished at SDSU. I wouldn't change what I did, because I learned a lot about myself. I know that I could not have done that if I had been a scholarship-athlete.

My point is that transferring from one school to another occurs for a myriad of reasons, and what is going on with the athlete and his team may not be the only thing involved. It seems a wise rule to hold back on rumors if the source cannot be cited.

Re: Cadwell

I believe a part of the problem is getting, especially out of state players, to come and stay in South Dakota. Trust me. I love the state and dont plan on leaving, but most out of staters probably dont fell this way. We have to face the fact we are not a southern state, a big city, or have a big Div I tradition to attract players. We have to build a reputation over time and be patient.

I to hope dont personal attacks on the posters. I enjoy this community and hope it continues to be positive. I may not agree 100% with the riles but I respect them and will follow them.

Re: Cadwell

Back to the actual thread topic.

This blurb from Terry's blog should provide insight that Caddy's departure was probable from Nagy's point of view:

Nagy said that the addition of Palarca will let Garrett Callahan get occasional minutes at the 2, although no decisions have been made regarding putting redshirts on any of the four incoming freshmen.

Callahan wouldn't be needed to play the 2 if Caddy was coming back.

I'm not surprised that Caddy has made the decision to leave. He was playing with little energy and spirit throughout the second half of the year. His play should have been able to improve as Kai and Callahan steadily improved and gave opponents more options to worry about. Instead, Caddy often disappeared from the game......hopefully, he'll be able to turn his basketball career around in the next couple years wherever he ends up......

Re: Cadwell

Also the fact that SDSU is not an established D-I team they have to go after ? marks and hidden gems. Kids don't like to go to college 6+ hours from home and see the floor occasionally at best. I don't think there is big as talent gap between D-I and D-II as there is emotional and mental. In D-II you play alot of games in the area generally they are weekend games. In D-I you are all over the place all of the time, espeially being transitional with out a confernce. Another factor that is less mentioned is the MVC and its success. SDSU shares its regional recruitment with the most successful mid major conference in D-I basketball.

You're kidding yourself if you don't think there is much of a talent difference between DI and DII. If there wasn't a talent difference can you explain why there is never any players from DII drafted to the NBA?

I agree with you that there is a wide talent difference between Div I and II. But I do think Jerome Beasley from UND was selected in the NBA draft and also Devean George was drafted by the Lakers and he was from Div III Augsburg. But getting drafted out of Div II and III doesn't happen very often.

What I'm getting at is it takes alot more mental and physical toughness in D-I sports then in D-II. There is a talent gap but from top D-II players to mid major D-I the difference is more mental then physical.
