Re: 2011 recruits
Between DWU and Briar Cliff. SDSU is obviously a step up. Good luck to Mr. Jacobsen. Why wasn't Boots in this hunt? Is it because no slots available for his position at USD? Little curious here.Originally posted by LakeJack View Post
Also why did Augie pass on this candidate? Okay self proclaimed analysts speak away.

Re: 2011 recruits
It is clear he has NAIA skills at this point, so I am glad we didn't offer him a scholarship. We only have 13 scholarships - the max for NCAA D-I schools so you need a couple of walk-ons and as walk-ons go he looks good. His dad is a Jackrabbit so when the kid turns down a NAIA scholarship to walk-on at the D-I level it is not surprising that he looks to SDSU and it appears that Scott is going to give him a chance.Originally posted by Nidaros View PostBetween DWU and Briar Cliff.

Re: 2011 recruits
In the posted video his coach said he was a 60% three point shooter as a junior. Hopefully he can turn into a shooting threat off the bench for us. I highly doubt he'll ever be a starter or see a ton of a minutes, but if he can play a role like that he's worth taking a look at.Comment

Re: 2011 recruits
yeah, but hes a kid who as a sophomore had SDSU, NDSU and other schools sending for information, scouting him in the summer. Both were very close to offering. A kid who played on a good team as a junior then went up to class A with a new coach and a new COOP and played well again as a senior.Originally posted by Nidaros View PostBetween DWU and Briar Cliff.

He is a little undersized, but has a high ceiling for a walk-on.Comment

Re: 2011 recruits
First, some players just bloom later than others (I think there were some posters who wondered if Brayden Carlson would ever contribute). Second, coaching and working with other high caliber players can enrich the possibilities for a walk-on. And bottom line, SDSU gets a pretty good basketball player for free (if he can improve enough, the right to be a scholarship player), can redshirt him and see how things develop, and get another good player to add to the practice squad. Somes like a win-win situation to me. Look forward to having you on the squad Cory!Comment

Re: 2011 recruits
If we had other players who walked on who were good enough to get a schollie and contribute, Jacobsen surely can. As long as we gives on the D side of things his shooting is good enough to get him some minutes.....again as long as he gives on the D side of things."The most rewarding things you do in life, are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.” Arnold Palmer

Accurate- except for the "new" coach part.
He went 5-7 from 3 in the state championship game. He is very dedicated and an extremely competitive kid. Academic All-State as well.Comment

Re: 2011 recruits
According to Stu Whitney's twitter, Jacobsen had an injured shoulder this season. (my guess it was probably from football as he was all-state and had a walk-on offer from Coach Stig)
His senior season wasn't as good as people were expecting and maybe he would have had better offers if not for playing with the injury.
I look at a player like Oakland's Travis Bader and think to myself, there is a room for a player like Jacobsen in D1. Obviously I'm not expecting for Jacobsen to be able to do what Bader did but maybe come in and be what Payton Tivis was for SDSU but with more 3-point shooting.Comment

Re: 2011 recruits
Coach Nagy is in Houston for the Final Four, I believe the conference has meetings there. According to a ? & answer with Coach through the Argus they haven't had any recruits on campus due to logistics, sounds like the plan is to have a few in the coming weeks on official visits. Don't expect any news until or after the late signing period starts.

Re: 2011 recruits
update on Brennan Cougill- seems to be waiting somewhat for Iowa. SD-State and UW-GB have offered; Valpo and Colorado State are also recruiting him (Colton Iverson will be visiting Colorado State in the near future)

Based on the comments section after the article,Hawkeye fans aren't too excited about Cougill's possible return.Originally posted by joeboo22 View PostComment

Re: 2011 recruits
It seems to me that he doesn't fit into Fran McCaffery's system very well. He's a wide body, probably isn't super athletic. McCaffery wants to press and run and shoot the three. He needs big guys, but probably more in the mold of a Keith Benson.Originally posted by bigticket1 View PostHoly nutmeg!Comment

Re: 2011 recruits
I hope that Colorado St. pursues Colton Iverson and therefore does not offer Cougil. Getting Cougil would be big for SDSU. He fits the inside/outside style of play SDSU has going for it.
Cougil needs come here where he is wanted. Colorado St. probably wants to explore other options and then if everything else falls through would look at Cougil.(\__/)
