2011 recruits

Re: 2011 recruits

I somewhat agree. Iowa is at the bottom of the Big Ten & Tennessee is at the top of the SEC. His team will have more success there most likely, although I'm not sure if he'll have more individual success.

Missouri State was on him for a while and Iowa had him as an afterthought until recently. His comment in an article about mid-majors being on the rise and respecting coach's that were recruiting him for a while I think tells a lot. I don't think Iowa gave him much respect until recently when they didn't get their guy(s). I think it's a good choice by him even if he's a big Iowa fan.

For those that don't know, Missouri State's coach recently was hired as the Tennessee coach. Wes was offerred while this coach was at Missouri State.

Wes is a self-proclaimed life time Iowa fan, who lives about 20 miles from Iowa City. Also, right now, they only have 1 point guard who be a senior.

Ut signed a 4 star point guard and are generally guard heavy. While there's no question they are the better program, i expect the NCAA is going to slap them around pretty hard in the next year. Those are the reasons this is surprising to me.

Re: 2011 recruits

Reports are that Washpun committed to Iowa today. Some people in Fargo aren't too happy about this, rumors on message boards and twitter were he was close to verballing to NDSU until Iowa came in. He is a classmate of another Iowa recruit Josh Ogelsby

Jeff Kolpeck the beat writer in Fargo is the one reporting this on his twitter page.

Anybody know if Wisconsin Green Bay has a fan board?

Re: 2011 recruits

Great to see that Zach Horstman was the Argus Leader's POY, and that Cory Jacobson was on the first five. With Chad White, Tony Fiegen and Braydon Carlson already on the team, that makes five players that were Top 5 selections for South Dakota.

Re: 2011 recruits

The Gophers just got a commit from a JUCO forward that fills their available scholarships - you would think that would take them out of the running for Crayton.

If Minnesota is SDSUs competition there will be plenty of mid-majors calling.

I've always felt that Crayton would be a better sign than Cougill and would have a bigger impact.

Re: 2011 recruits

does anybody know if Cougill or any other recruit was on campus for a visit this weekend? (I know Baker wasn't and I'm pretty sure Crayton wasn't.)

I remember reading an article saying that the coaches wanted to get some recruits on campus this weekend

Cougill and Baker are coming in for a visit this next weekend.

Still trying to get Crayton in for a visit.

Re: 2011 recruits

That's correct. I was a little worried about UW-GB....until I saw this: http://www.greenbayphoenix.com/ViewA...CLID=204968700

Awkward....I hope he's seen this. However, the coaches do have some decent credentials.

Also is interesting that Foster, one of their assistants, played at USD.

Foster was also an Asst. Coach at Kirkwood C.C.. They also have a player on their roster from Kirkwood. So they may have a leg up. Go Jacks!

Re: 2011 recruits

According to Rob Howe of Hawksinsider's twitter page, Brennan Cougill is visiting UW-GB today. I believe the goal for SDSU is to have him on campus this weekend.
