Re: 2006 Recruits
This is an interesting post from someone over on the Argus forum board who seems to have a lot of information about instate basketball recruits that we have discussed here.
Don't worry this isn't the only thing you aren't aware of and you aren't alone as this site is filled with a ton of posters who don't have a clue about what is taking place in the recruiting world and how the whole process works. What is ironic is you are all crying this year because SD doesn't have a kid ranked in the top 150 or top 100. Good thing because you would all be on here blasting that athlete if he were highly ranked and stating how over rated they were. Like Poppers I too hate posting on this site but when I read the garbage that is posted on here I can't help to clear the air. Currently there are four seniors in SD who are being recruited at the D1 level or have accepted offers to that level. Of course when they all sign at that level (if they do) you can jump on the over rated band wagon like some of you have with Cordova already.
Zach Finley
Is being recruited by Princeton, Pacific, Marshall, Augie and NSU. All schools except for Princeton have offered. Before you blast away about Princeton please remember that the Ivy league schools do not offer scholarships and he wouldn't receive any athletic aid if he attended Princeton.
Michael Tveidt
Has been offered by UW Milwaukee, Ball State, UNC Wilmington, Northern Illinois, UC Santa Clara, NDSU. He is also receiving some interest from Richmond, West Virginia and a few calls from Kansas State. Tveidt has narrowed his list down and has already shut down talks and offers from some smaller D1's including Lehigh, Akron, Toledo and Colgate. No schools in Oklahoma expressed an interest. Four schools from the Missouri Valley expressed interest including Wichita State, Bradley, Northern Iowa and Creighton but none of the schools offered and none are continuing the recruiting process. Phone calls and letters are a part of the recruiting process but are not offers and really don't mean a thing in the big picture. Regardless of opinion Tveidt has only been offered by mid major schools. It is doubtful that even if he waited until spring to sign that any schools higher than the mid major level would come knocking on his door.
Tate Pesicka
Has been offered by Augie and USD. He has received calls from some smaller D1 schools including Davidson, Eastern Kentucky, UNC Wilmington, Richmond, NDSU and Samford. While Washington State did call to inquire no serious recruitment from that level has taken place. If no D1 offers come Tate's way prior to the early signing period he could generate some interest from that level if he were to sign late. It is doubtful that he'll receive any offers higher than a small to mid major D1 school.
Anthony Cordova
Received some interest from smaller D1 schools including Florida Atlantic, Colgate and turned down an offer from Augie. As to the merits of his ability to play at SDSU, those who question his ability have not seen him play recently and certainly didn't see him play this summer. When all is said and done he has the capibility of being the best player in the 06 class. SDSU had one offer to give. They couldn't afford to wait on Michael Tveidt and could have signed other players from around the country. They chose Cordova because they see a ton of potential and saw him play this summer. I trust Coach Nagy's judgement over the HS kids and arm chair coaching adults on this site any day.
While the many postings on the recruiting subject on this site have been entertaining the list above is accurate. If you want to know the source feel free to contact the coaching staffs from the schools listed above. I can't remember a time in recent years or anytime when 4 SD athletes were recruited at the D1 level out of one class. If all 4 sign D1 offers it would be the first time in recent years (if ever) to happen.
