2011 recruits

Re: 2011 recruits

It's wonderful we are providing an opportunity for these young men to try and realize their dreams by walking on and earning a scholarship, but it would be nice to see us use a few of those open scholarships on some people who can come in and make a more immediate impact and are recognized by other programs as legitimate DI players.

Re: 2011 recruits

I'm sure they are still out recruiting have until May 18th? or 19th or some time around then to sign a recruit. USD signed a JuCo recruit out of Norfolk NE via the UK today. (I saw UK, and was thinking Kentucky then read he is from the United Kingdom)

Ask any coach and they will say that whatever you do don't fill a scholarship just to fill a scholarship.

Nobody is suggesting bringing in anybody just to fill a spot, that's absurd.
Also, those May dates don't mean much. They have until the start of class next fall to bring in new recruits.

Re: 2011 recruits

Or get the right recruits and it could be a great thing. Just call me half full on this topic. a lot of programs don't max out scholarships.

There aren't "a lot" of programs with 5 scholarships open. Hopefully we will still bring one or two and it will be a moot point, otherwise it will difficult to spin this as a positive.

Alex Olson update

Sounds like he had at least 1 D-I offer http://www.wissports.net/article.asp...0961&sportID=1

Could also be trying to get a leg up on a freshman teammate of his

http://www.wissports.net/team.asp?pa...=201859&tid=53

He played on a good AAU team as an 8th grader and is a 6'0" sharp shooter

I think that 'offer' is from SDSU. It states "He recently received an exciting offer from a Div. 1 program..." I think that 'offer' is to walk on at State.

Re: 2011 recruits

Seniors: Griffan Callahan, Aireus Stephenson

Juniors: Nate Wolters, Tony Fiegen

Sophmores: Jordan Dykstra, Marcus Heemstra, Chad White, Brayden Carlson

Freshman: Zach Horstman, Zach Monaghan

10 scholarship players, 3 available, two freshman walkons with Olson and Jacobsen


At minimum 1 or 2 of these should have been or should be filled. Obviously through a freshman or JUCO big. A freshman big along with Cougill and Baker would have been a homerun. Too bad. Also, Heemstra should have redshirted but they had no choice.

Re: 2011 recruits

13 for men,15 for women

Having 5 scholarships available would not be good.

It's unacceptable.

Re: 2011 recruits

Might have been referring to the Jitterbug cell phone which was marketed pretty heavily to the more mature crowd.

Hey I never thought of that. Thanks

Re: 2011 recruits

Actually the jitterbug is pretty modern....

Re: 2011 recruits

If the Jacks don't sign anyone this spring,we would have 5 or 6 scholarships available next year (is the limit 13 or 14 ?). You would think if one of the walk-ons shows anything,they would have a good chance at a scholarship in the future.

13 is the mens limit.

I think getting walk-ons are win/win and low risk. As far as PG's, a D-II talent who can dribble good, and shoot decent can see the court at the PG position, where at other spots that is less of a possibility.

Terry mentioned today that they are not going to fill a spot just to fill a spot.

I guess I got told.

You're just being a selfish Jacks fan. We all get that way sometimes.
