Re: 2011 recruits

As BTown mentioned on the 2010 thread.

Nick Wuebker from Iowa is getting looks from Nagy and staff. Ranked 22nd in Iowa. Pretty sure he was at the game Saturday night.

Re: 2011 recruits

While I agree that it would be awesome to get a true 5, there are 181 DI schools and about 15-20 quality big men each recruiting year. Add another 50 or so projects, and over half DI schools would love a big guy but in reality aren't getting one.

Keith Benson probably falls into that project category. Redshirted, and his freshman year and played 13 minutes per game. Last season he averaged about 14 points 8 rebounds. This will likely be the last year we face him, as a Junior. There's no doubt he's the best center in the league, but personally, I think he gets over-hyped due to his supposed NBA potential.

Re: 2011 recruits

We won't have to worry about him after this season. There aren't a ton of really tall guys in the league after Benson. I think you have to also look at team speed to guard against. Look how quick Oakland was last night.

Granted we dont have to worry about Benson after this year, but just wait and see more guys like him will show up and if we got notions of playing and winning games against the B-10 and B-12, and to go deep into the Big Dance, we need more skilled size than what we have now, thats what I am really saying. No matter how close and perfect our guys play, we are not going win the big games with the current size. Even NDSU seems to have figured that out. They got more 6-8 and up guys than what we have, and I wish we had Eric Carlson.

Re: 2011 recruits

After facing Oakland last night, I would think no one on here would be commenting or questioning the recruiting of additional height. How are you going to stop the likes of Keith Bensen unless you have some big guy like him that can move and not get tired. Most of guys over 6'9 that SDSU has had are projects, but we need one who can hit the ground running. Maybe this Tuttle guy can do that. I hope we get him.

Re: 2011 recruits

Heemstra, Dykstra & Fiegen are the only true 4-5 position players on your list. White & Carlson are both 1-3 type players, although I don't think White will play the point at SDSU for any extended period of time. From what I know of Horstman, is more of a 3. If we want to compete, athletic length is exactly what we need.

I would like to see a true 5 in the 2011 class, but so does every other school. Good ones are rare & highly sought after.

Seems that Heemstra with his size and shooting and passing abilities could play some 3. He should have enough speed since he played WR in football. He would create some mis-matches at that position.
