Re: 2014 Recruiting

What class is Severyn then? I thought she was 2014-2015 along with Macy Miller.

Re: 2014 Recruiting

Elli Thompson looks like a good get. She has been exposed to some stiff competition since her freshman year. While some of her statistics both on the high school team and in the summer with the Minnesota Fury have been inconsistant, she is still only a junior this year. It will be interesting to see her develop. Very good GPA, so she should fit in well at State and has been a very good shooter from the line. Here is a brief description of her talents from BlueStarMedia, a top web site for evaluating basketball talent.

The Minnesota Fury 2014 Blue team won their side of the Lake Nokomis Division but dropped the final against a very balanced Lakes Elite squad. The Fury has a couple of 2014’s that will make you take a second look. Versatile forwards Kylie Brown and Ellie Thompson both have diverse skill sets that allow them to operate effectively away from the rim or while navigating the paint. Brown stands 6-2 and Thompson is pushing 6-1 but both have the agility and speed to be a factor both in transition or the halfcourt.

Minnesota Hoops has her listed as one of the top post players in Minnesota.

Re: 2014 Recruiting

According to the Mitchell Daily Republic, Pierre's Kaitlyn Severyn went 1-7 from the field last night against Mitchell. She had no free throw attempts. I see where she did have 9 rebounds though.

Re: 2014 Recruiting

Well, at least on FTs, you may have to re-assess. From Pierre Capital Journal report on Friday night's game: "Kaitlyn Severyn would prove to be nearly automatic from the charity stripe, hitting 9-of-10 free throws and icing the game with a few of them."

She has been hitting her free throws and that's where I really noticed the poor rotation on her shot. I know, I know...her free throws have been going in but she has trouble from the field for whatever reason. Just saying that has been my observation the few times I've seen her play.

Re: 2014 Recruiting

I have had the opportunity to travel to Pierre to watch Kaitlyn Severyn on a couple different occassions. She is one of the most athletic young ladies I have had the privilege to watch. She is quick, agile, a great leaper/rebounder, a good passer, a good defender, sees the court well but........is a terrible shooter. Last game I saw her play she was 3-19 from the field. Has poor rotation on her shot and kind of snaps the shot with extreme/exaggerated follow through. Someone really needs to work with her to improve her shot or I really don't think she will be a good fit for the Jacks. Granted.....she IS only a soph. Just my observation.

Re: 2014 Recruiting

Per TV's tweet today we have our first 2014 verbal. Kaitlyn Severyn of Pierre has recently given her verbal commitment. She's a 5-8 guard.

I believe the men's team has also offered her brother (along with another kid from Pierre) but I believe there was issues with him and/or his teammate being dismissed from their HS team.

Re: 2014 Recruiting

I trust AJ to make any decision for the school but to be getting commitments from kids that far in advance is just a lot for me to put my arms around. It is a risky proposition to say the least. A lot can change in three years of high school that are both good and bad. Obviously, they feel she has tremendous upside potential to be throwing out the offer. If they wait, they could lose her to a bigger conference program. I guess its the way the recruiting game is played these days.

Congrats to Kaitlyn on making a great decision on her future!

I can understand this thought, but have to say I'm pretty high on the ability of A. J. and crew to spot a good one and land that person early if possible. I don't want another Sam Ostorello situation, where the player hangs around and then makes a last minute change before verballing to the Jacks. Welcome aboard, Kaitlyn, I look forward to having you on our team in 2014-2017!!

Re: 2014 Recruiting

From today's KGFX news:

Kaitlyn Severyn, who will be a sophomore next season for the Pierre Lady Governor basketball team gave a verbal commitment Thursday to play her collegiate basketball at South Dakota State. The 5'10" Severyn - whose dad, Shane, played football for the Jackrabbits - has played two years of varsity basketball, earning all-ESD honors last year as a freshman.

Re: 2014 Recruiting

At first I thought this article was going to say Layne when i saw the headline. I didnt know we were recruiting her. never hurts to get early recruits, which some time leads to other jumping on board early too.

She's played varsity the last two years. Granted the Pierre girls' team has been down the last couple of years, including not winning a game this past year, but she's a good get for SDSU and has some raw talent. She still needs some work but she's only a will be sophomore.

This may help the men recruiting Layne
