Re: Last scholarship???
I am being as speculative as anyone else here, but something tells me that Wolters is a very bright young man, and maybe the academics to him are as important to him as the athletic winning. Each choice has a basketball offer that is for certain, but does each fit the career path that this young man may be wanting to follow? SDSU has a very good engineering college, and we all know that, but could this be the trump card?. My guess and thats all.Last edited by Nidaros; 04-23-2009, 10:25 PM.

At least that will be the spin on bisonville.
I wondered what kind of response Saul was going to get after signing two guards and basically backing off his recruitment of Wolters and then he finally picks it back up when Wolters plays well at the state tournament. Not really the ideal way to land a recruit, especially when other schools never really backed off.
I will say this, whoever lands this kid is going to get a great player.

Although it looks about as much out of place in that residential neighborhood as Sanford's blue neon mood lighting.

More honors for Nate Wolters. Sounds more and more like exactly the kind of player the Jacks want and need. Go Jacks. Go Nate, wherever you choose to go.

Re: Last scholarship???
Nagy really wants Nate and it was understood that he would make a decision this week. Everyone is entitled to change their mind and Nate might do that.

I don't think the school's mission or academic focus is significantly different than St. Cloud Apollo High School, or for that matter most other public high schools. I suspect the school's name has some historical significance, but I don't know for sure.

Re: Last scholarship???
If Nate wants to coach someday, I would think he would want to attend a D-1 school. In my eyes playing D-1 has more prestige in this field than a lower level of competition. If that were the case, it would be between Colorado St. and SDSU.
Now I'm going to speculate even further here, but reading all of these posts I get the sense that Nate also wants stability in the coaching staff that is recruiting him. I believe that is why Nate did not want to sign early, to see how SDSU did this season. At this point I don't see Nagy going anywhere over the next 4 years that Nate would play here.
Colorado St. on the other hand, I could see Miles leaving if he got a better offer. He has left for better offers before and I think he would do it again if he could. But CSU has not had much success during Miles tenure and maybe they will replace him in a couple of years if things don't turn around for them.
There are pluses and minuses to each school that he is considering, but I think SDSU has as good a chance, if not a better chance than the other two schools. But then again I am slightly biased in my opinion. I'm sure it is not going to be an easy choice for Nate, but his decision will be what is best for him.
Go State!!!
Go Jacks!!!(\__/)

Re: Last scholarship???
Not sure what kind of kid Nate is but one of my pals on the Augustana football team has looked at transfering already as he feels kind of out of place there. He loves his team and coaches but struggles with "all the snooty kids" as he puts it. Something to think about there.
I can see the appeal of wanting to play in the Mtn West, but as stated, the CSU program is not very stable right now. Miles could easily be gone one way or the other in a couple years, then you have to deal with a new coaching saff who didn't recruit you, have a different system, etc.
Obviously I am biased, but SDSU is a solid choice. It's a young team where playing time is going to be up to whoever earns it. With such a young team you can build relationships and play w/ alot of the same guys for 3-4 years. Some fine coaches and people in Nagy, Klink and Austin. You'd have a much better chance winning your conference and playing in the Big Dance here than at CSU.
