2026 Recruits

That's a good get! Now we need to get her teammate Melina Snoozy to like accepting passes from Trishelle so that she desires to continue that with us.

Between her and Abdouch, that should solidify the PG position for years to come.

2026 Cail Jahnke has listed her offers on 'X' with jacks being one.

[bigticket1]

I will be shocked if she stays in SD. I've heard she wants to go somewhere big. My guess would be Iowa based on her offers for now but that's just a hunch.

The big difference between her aunt's college basketball days and now is NIL money. USD (as well as the Jacks) likely won't be able to compete with the $ that will be available to her from the offer list that has been made public. She would really have to want to stay home for that to happen.

jmo......in the end, .i would be a little surprised if she doesn't choose the yotes.

Copied from the link...

Craig Mattick: Here comes college. College is calling and you go to South Dakota State. You went there one year before you went to USD. What was the reasoning why you left SDSU?

Mandy Koupal: It just wasn't the fit for me. I mean, it's a great place, great school. I mean, I don't regret my year there.

Craig Mattick: It was a pretty good team. Pretty good team, right?

Mandy Koupal: Yeah. We had a great year and I had great teammates there, too. But like I said, it just wasn't a great fit for me. I was starting off that in secondary education, but then I wanted to go into elementary ed. At the time, they really didn't have the program for elementary ed. Yeah. But like I said, there's nothing, no hard feelings for the SDSU and it just wasn't a great fit for me.

I don't regret the year one bit, because everything happens for a reason. I think it just helped me to find where I needed to be. I just felt it was that USD.

She goes on later to describe the environment for those SDSU/USD games and locking down the dome to keep the dead animals out. Pretty interesting.

Thank You

....yup, you're welcome, you were on to the reason too ! Jackrabbits are so smart !!!

[jackdaniel]

I don't know the answer to that. AJ hadn't taken over yet so it was a different atmosphere. I don't know what her major was, but if it was elementary education, you couldn't get that at SDSU at that time. You could do early childhood ed. Elementary Ed had to be completed at BHSU, usd, DSU, or NSU. Maybe that was the reason? Maybe she likes the color red? At some point though, SDSU looked better than USD did to her. Hopefully her niece will give it the same chance.

Ignore my response. Jack answered the question before I hit send.

You are exactly correct, you have a good memory ringthebells, I , on the other hand, just happened upon an interview done way back.Thank you for bringing up AJ, I was wondering if he was head coach then, and was too lazy to find out myself.

I just come across an old interview just yesterday with Mandy Koupal, and she was asked this very question by Craig Mattick as to why she left and went to play at USD. It was due to academics. It's a long interview so to save you some time, it comes up a smidgen less than half way through the interview.

Thank You

Her Aunt Mandy started as a Jackrabbit.

So, why did she transfer to that God forsaken place then? Was it due to a change in major?

She has family ties there, her Aunt Mandy attended USD and played her first college season for SDSU (as first noted by ringthebells below) , also a great, great player back then.
