Future Rosters

[SteelSD]

Good news, the SD HS girls tournament starts Mar 9th, and Sheppards HS team Flandreau finally made it in the class A field. So everyone will have the opportunity to see her play.

From what I've seen of Claire she is very much in the mold of Maddie V. Long player that spends most of her time at the 3 point line. Don't see a lot of posting up or drive to the bucket with her.

They upset STM and Reese Ross to get in too. Flandreau was the 12 seed in the SoDak 16…

From a post perspective think Mesa Byom could be a great contributor going forward. She would have earned a lot of minutes for most teams in the Summit. Also curious how Natalie Nielson developed in her freshman year.

[jackdaniel]

interesting!!

i dont feel like i have an abundance of wisdom about the recruits, so i would trust your perspective more than my own!! but i was thinking she was more of a combo forward in the mold or a Tori N. Tori obviously does have the ability to play both inside and out (although the outside shooting has almost completely disappeared this year. bummer but i really expect her to bounce back BIG next year as possibly the only player to play her final year next year-depending on decisions by Kallie and Regan, and possible transfers)

the jacks have tried to post Maddie a little this year (very little) but offensively she is (as you said!!) almost strictly a perimeter player. i really do believe that if the jacks needed it that they could use maddie to guard some less than elite post players. they have no need for it this year, except on switches, because they almost always have two other posts on the floor

Let me know if I am getting confused by COVID/medical redshirts, and if I need to add anything (future years, etc). For 2023-24, this is what the roster will look like:

Seniors

Kallie Theisen, 6’1” F
Tori Nelson, 6’1” F

Juniors

Haleigh Timmer, 5’11” G
Madysen Vlastuin, 6’1” F
Mesa Byom, 6’2” F
Paige Meyer, 5’6” G

Sophomores

Brooklyn Meyer, 6’2” F
Madison Mathiowetz, 5’10” G
Ellie Colbeck, 5’10” G

Freshmen

Natalie Nielsen, 6’3” F (Redshirt)
Hilary Behrens, 6’0 G, Brandon, SD
Jenna Hopp, 5’11” G, Glenwood, IA

2024

Mahli Abdouch, 5'8" G, Sioux Falls O'Gorman, SD
Claire Sheppard, 6’1” G/F, Flandreau, SD
Jaidyn Dunn, 6’1” F, Sioux Falls Jefferson, SD
Emilee Fox, 5’8” G, Mt. Vernon-Plankinton, SD
Katie Vasecka, 6’2” G, Tea, SD

Talk about a re-load.

Yes, we will miss all 3 of this year's seniors. Maya is special, and Payton and Dru are both VERY good.

However, the team coming back will absolutely be favored to win again, And some of these incoming players are really really good.
Also remember, they started the year with Colbeck and Mathiowetz starting when Paige and Dru were injured. Those minutes are valuable.

Looks like she played in 14 games before getting hurt. The cut-off for medical redshirt is 10, I believe Macy played 9 before getting injured.

wow interesting. i had not gone to look at box scores yet but i would have NEVER believed she played in that many games. obviously the box scores would show the minutes too but i cannot help but think some of those games the minutes were extremely minimal. i guess my old brain played a trick on me)) thank you for doing the research

[bigticket1]

i have never heard them talk about it, but i am very VERY close to positive that Kallie could have another year if she wants it. her freshman season she got hurt. that was the same season Myah got the medical redshirt and i dont think Kallie played as many games as Myah did

Can someone update the stick in this thread with the lastest future rosters?

[SteelSD]

She is a very good player, but she looks really fragile. Someone mentioned in an earlier thread about possible injury concerns for her. Anyone have any further info on that ?

Sounds like an accurate description of Myah Selland as well.

Katie Vasecka has 30 and 11 in leading Tea Area to an upset over #2 ranked Vermillion in 2OT to advance to the So Dak 16.

Here is a link to the game if you are interested:

If nothing else I recommend moving ahead to the 2:56:12 to 3:02:13 marks to see the final play of the game and then listen to the Vermillion radio announcer go completely unhinged.

We also have Byom who still has two years left in the program. She has looked very good in her limited time this year and will likely be a key member of the rotation starting next year. Also the 2024 class has Jaidyn Dunn who spends most of her time posting up for SF Jefferson. I don't think she long term projects as a post player, but her style of play that got her recruited is very much as a stretch 5. I guess it will boil down to is she 6' or is she 6'2"?

This clip from her sophomore year shows her quickness blocking some shots and her ball handling/footwork in the paint. There are also some clips from this season.

[SteelSD]

They must be comfortable with Meyer and Nielsen because they recruited pretty much all guards and wings in the next few classes. Or can Sheppard play inside ?
