Dykstra is a Jack

Though this has been reference on another thread, thought it was important enough for its own.

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

Terry V mentioned that Dykstra had offers from Hawaii, Davidson, Colorado St, and of course, was previously offered by Iowa St.

Jordan's signing is one of the biggest in SDSU Men's program history, but the best part is that he is joining an equally outstanding cast.

08 Radar, 09 Wolters, 09 White, 09 Fiegen, 09 Carleson, 10 Dykstra, 10 Heemstra, 11 Hortsman are the future of SDSU, and the future looks bright!

Hopefully we won't be graduating all our starters---or playing them 35 minutes a game..... winning consistently with a deep team that isn't overloaded in any particular class.

This is great news. Thanks to all on the forum with the prior information. Glad to see that Nagy has turned the corner and great things are ahead.

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

South Dakota State landed a Class of 2010 commitment on Friday when Jordan Dykstra picked the Jackrabbits, according to the site www.NY2LASports.com.

Dykstra is a former Iowa State commit.

ESPN's Scouts Inc. had this to say about Dykstra in July.

"Jordan played well in Orlando against some stiff competition. He's a skilled face up 4-man that showed he was a consistent threat from the arc and could put it on the floor to get to the basket.

"He's not a great athlete and had some trouble powering up through his defender in the low block area, but should improve that part of his game with natural maturation and a good college strength program. He does a nice job fighting for position and rebounds mostly in his area.

"Defensively he is a good positional defender that understands his ability and adjusts. He has a chance to be a very good player for a team that plays a 4-out/1-in offense that values a skilled 4-man with size."

This is from ESPN

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

Here is another story:

South Dakota State struck on the recruiting trail Friday landing 6-9 2010 PF Jordan Dykstra of Rock Valley High School in Iowa. Dykstra was one of the top available bigs left on the board in the Midwest and had previously committed to Iowa State before re-opening his recruiting and eventually landing with the Jackrabbits.
Dykstra is a skilled power forward with nice size and length and the ability to face up and make things happen. He has solid instincts and the ability to knock down the mid range jumper and stroke the trey ball as well. He'll need to improve his explosion, strength, and scoring ability in the post at the next level but he's a solid grab for Head Coach Scott Nagy and the Jackrabbits as they land a solid young interior prospect who should put down a nice career in the Summit League.

The story is here

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

I had a good feeling that this was going to happen after Dykstra attended multiple football games in Brookings this fall.

Thanks to all who kept us informed throughout the process.

What a difference a year makes and funny how 1 MN kid, 2 Iowa kids and 3 SD kids can build hope and excitement in Jackrabbit nation.....saw Coach Nagy tonight....he crack a smile and said oh by the way we got Jordan.......pretty much expected from a reserved coach.

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

Fantastic news!

Can't wait to see him suit up.

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

Great news, indeed. Congratulations to the coaches, students and fans who helped persuade Mr. Dykstra to become a Jack. But congrats mostly to Dykstra himself for making a good choice. He took his time, weighed a lot of options and made a selection that appears to be a great fit. I can't wait to see him and incoming team mates on the court together.

Cadsev, saw you scouting at the Sioux Falls Arena on Friday, any future Schoolers out there?

TV's story.... sounds like a good kid who will be an ambassador for the program. ... http://www.argusleader.com/article/2...28/1002/sports

This is not the light at the end of the tunnel, it's the end of the tunnel.

Go Jacks.

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

Good news for the The Summit League! The top half of our league is really improving!

100 assists in a season was the most impressive stat to me. Those are pretty crazy numbers for a big man.

Re: Dykstra is a Jack

Congrats to young Dykstra. Everyone here thinks you have made a good choice for yourself and SDSU.
I hope you and Heemstra are able to blend in and contribute as best as you can. Expectations have most certainly been elevated. Good Luck in your remaining high school year and most of all your future SDSU career!!
