2010 Recruiting

Re: 2010 Recruiting

Not impressed that AJ didn't sign any SD kids....mark my words, there will be less and less SD kids there going forward.

I've never understood this argument. Worthington is less than 100 miles from Brookings. Just because its on the other side of a line means we shouldn't recruit from there? Its ok to recruit from Rapid City, Pierre, etc even though they are much farther from Brookings than Worthington (for example) just because those towns are inside a certain boundary? Doesn't make sense.

I am just going to say it flat out - someone has taken my spot as having made the dumbest post ever on the board.

Nidaros, my earlier post begins with "Early in Jim Thorson's ... ." Chris White did not arrive until later, along with kids from some of the states you mention. I stand by my post.

Okay if you stand by your post, list the South Dakota Kids that did not pan out early in the coaching career of Jim Thorson? I think you are making a false generalization which you can not back up. I dont want to hear its so long ago, I have forgotten names. Thorson had his issues as the head coach at SDSU, but recruiting too many SD kids was not one of them.

How Bill Cartwright who I believe is still with Daktronics came the second year that he was coach as did Randy Suarez. These two came the second year he was and neither was from SD nor was Randy Jenkins.

Re: 2010 Recruiting

Maybe its just me but I can't see how anyone can argue about the radius that AJ is getting 90% of his kids. He is getting the kids he wants, the kids love the style we play, and they love playing for AJ. As far as I'm concerned those are local kids. Heck, even the ESPN commentators mentioned how all the kids come from so close. That kind of thing doesn't just happen very often. He has cultivated a strong relationship with a lot of people that keep him up to speed on the potential of future recruits.

I'm not saying he walks on water but I will guarantee he is working on it!

OBTW-it doesn't hurt attendance a lick that all these kids from just over the border can have their family and friends make it over for the games with relative ease.

GB, GB, GJ!

Thanks Nidaros, I had just about gotten the Thorson years out of my brain. Back to therapy!

Sorry Superbunny. I hope the relapse will not be too severe and that you recover quickly.

I am trying to still decipar the orignal post that got us off track here and that relates to SD kids not getting opportunities to make the SDSU roster as we progress into the new reclassication of D1. Its a red herring that we heard in the debate before the decision was made to go D1. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you got talent and if want to attend SDSU there is a good chance you might be recruited. If not recruited one can still get a good education at SDSU. I think most of us on this board feel that way.

Being from SD should not be a guarentee for anything.

HoopGurlz ranks SDSU recruit Megan Waytashek at No. 81 nationally in the 2010 class with a 93 grade. Wow.

Pretty Impressive. According the list, she is the second highest rated player from Minnesota. Good work AJ and staff!

Re: 2010 Recruiting

Wished they would list her college choice! Still amazing Sam Ostarello is #15 on the 2009 list.

Waytashek is listed as 6'0, but is 6'2 in every other article I have seen

Re: 2010 Recruiting

well they may not list it but she is going to Purdue. I ran into her last summer @ zesto and she even had on Purdue shorts. Said she was tired of everybody telling here she should be going to STATE.... but Purdue for sure. FYI

Huh? Ostrello is 2009 class and is at Purdue. We are talking about the 2010 class and Waytashek, the Jackrabbits and how it would be nice to have SDSU listed next to such a highly touted recruits name. At least that's what I think we are talking about.

MSG deleted. I thought JACKGUYII was looking for that info. if you read just the one post it kinda reads that way. but it's gone now thanks

Re: 2010 Recruiting

Wanted to hold off reporting this until something official came out about the nature of the injury,but as TV reported in his blog today,Gabby Boever suffered a knee injury in a game before Christmas. Word after the injury was that it was just a sprain,but an article in the Worthington paper today states that she partially tore several ligaments - not sure what "several" means.Saw her at a game on Saurday and she was wearing one of the big,bulky braces over her street clothes..The artcle did not mention what the chances were of her returning for this year. Best wishes to Gabby as she works through this.
