2012 recruits

Re: 2012 recruits

Trent Lockett from Arizona State committed to Marquette. A lot of debate earlier in this thread about where and why......Milwaukee being 5 hours away so he could be closer to his family during his mom's cancer treatments ended up being the final answers to the puzzle.

Marquette is a good team too. They very well could be a top 25 ranked team next year.

Ah yeah. Great to get a kid that IUPUI and Oakland wanted as well!

Here is the list South Dakota St, IUPUI, Duquesne, Wright State, Houston Baptist, Stetson, Oakland

Also made an official to James Madison, and unofficial to Utah, and was asked to take an official to Nebraska but I don't think he ever did.

Good news.

Re: 2012 recruits

His style fits SDSU really well. He is tall and long, but still athletic. Can really stroke it. From the reports I read he really grew into his body over the last 6 months, and seemed to put on some muscle and really improve his game. Still wonder if he won't redshirt, (I know that depends on the current team being healthy, etc. as it does him) but 175 is small. Needs to get stronger, but a guy who fits the system well.

local paper just did a quick write up on the commitment http://blogs.sacbee.com/preps/archiv...donlan-of.html

Devine, Bittle, and Donlan. I know it's early but I don't see how this class won't help us continue to improve! Very impressed. Let's hope they back it up the next four or five years! Go Jacks!!!

I don't like to predict based on commitment because I'm not great at it (I thought Nate Wolters was a 10 and 4 guy maybe) so I won't say he will be a star or they all will be stars. But I will say this, they appear to fit into the style of play well. Bittle is the tall point guard, Donlan is the tall, long, athletic sharp shooter, and Devine is the 6'9" shot blocker

Re: 2012 recruits

Impressive class of recruits - we are reloading. I thought Donlan was a goner when he headed off to visit Utah. Would either Donlan or Bittle have signed if we had not made the Tournament?
