Re: 2011 Recruits

Jill would've and should've won it, but Mitchell Christian did not qualify for the state tournament during her senior year and it is by tradition, a senior award. I've always wondered whether or not they should make it for all seniors regardless of state tournament teams. North Dakota has a similar award for each class: senior athlete of the year and is given to a senior regardless of whether or not their team made it to state. Indiana gives a Mental Attitude award only to a player who is playing in the state championship game, so I guess everyone does it different! Anyway, my overall point is that many more SDSU players would've won it but some might not have because their teams didn't qualify for state.

Now that is what I thought. I knew they went to state while she was on the team, it just, unfortunately, wasn't her senior year. But yes, she definitely deserved it. I think they should make the award for all seniors, because some of them work hard enough and deserve the award even though their team didn't go to state.

Re: 2011 Recruits

Did Jill Young win the award? What year was that? It would have been the B tournament because she played for Mitchell Christian. I still remember when she broke the record for most points scored in a girls high school career. I remember the whole game stopped and everyone started cheering. It was great! Sorry to get off topic there

I think Steph Paluch and Jill Young also won the award. It was nice to see 4 former winners handing out the award to Rachel on Saturday night.

Re: 2011 Recruits

Yeah, recruiting kids that aren't committed is probably a good strategy.

I think I nailed that one.......

Following in the tradition of past SDSU standouts...

Rachel Walters was awarded the Spirit of Sue award at the AA's this past weekend. (Other winners included Ketty Cornemann and Jennifer Warkenthien)

Re: 2011 Recruits

I would go for the best players in the regions that aren't commited to someone else.They keep statistics on every player and have all-region players named at the end of the season.They are the best chances at succeding in Div 1 basketball.Would definately look for someone who is a pg who is quick and a good ball handler who doesn't turn the ball over who can drive and dish.Would really be nice to get a juco All-American PG.Good 3 pt shooter and fg% a plus.Maybe Miss Lynn fits this profile?(not the All-American part, but the rest)

Re: 2011 Recruits

It was interesting to see on TV's twitter that the Jacks are looking at some JUCO point guards. I wonder if one of them is Sam Lynn of Minnesota West in Worthington who is playing in their state tournament this weekend,and has a real chance to be Minnesota player of the year.

Re: 2011 Recruits

Sorry!
Can somebody get us back to the 2011 recruits?

SDSU recruit Rachel Walters scored 34pts tonight in a tough 65 to 59 loss to #3 ranked SF Roosevelt.

On a side note the game was delayed 50 minutes due to some smoke that was detected and the fire alarm going off. The gym was emptied out until the fire department could check it out. Nothing was found and the game resumed.

Re: 2011 Recruits

We lose a prolific scorer in Rotert this year,as well as a good point guard in Macie,and a good all around tough player in Schuttloffel,freshmen typically don't score alot,sophomore class doesn't have a lot of scorers(didn't show it at least this year) nor the freshman class(lots of inconsistency as far as scoring goes),Lingle's comming around,but the scoring load will have to be shouldered by Jill and Jenn.I believe that's what happened to Rotert this year, is that too much was put on her shoulders to carry this team to wins.Unless you can get 5 players on the floor contributing,I don't think one person can do it all alone.Sometimes it was two,occasionaly maybe three.I like our chances this year a lot more than next year of winning the tournament.Unless,people step up big time next year.They can start by winning their way to the Summit championship THIS yr.

I agree with some of this but I think there are a lot of unknowns about next year. Will Leah and Megan come back healthy? They both came here highly touted and were injured this year. Leah has been injured 2 years in a row so I'm worried about her but I have high hopes for Megan.
Macie is a good PG but she's been injured all year. If she was healthy, we'd be talking about another NCAA tourney bid but she isn't. This year, Eide averages more points and rebounds while playing less minutes. Eide also has a higher FG%, FT% and 3-point FG%. Macis' job is to bring the ball up the floor but if she was healthy, she'd also but more of an offensive threat.
I like what Schuttloffel brings to the floor. She's the tough player that plays defense, draws charges, rebounds and passes the ball. She has basketball smarts. Her job isn't to score. But if you're look ing at scoring, her and Macie (together) average about 9 points a game. I think if Leah is healthy she'll fill this roll. They both do the"drirty" work.
I don't know about the scoring. Some players are shooters and others aren't. Rotert is a shooter. She puts up a lot of shots and scores a lot of points. She has twice as many shots as Eide or Lingle. If they doubled their shots (and points), they'd average 12 points/game. The player that I think will be a big scorer next year is Megan. In the games she played she looked to score. If she shot as many shots as Rotert did, she would have averaged 16 points/game. Strop looks like a shooter too but I don't know what to think of her, yet.
This doesn't include Gabby or the freshmen.
I know this has nothing to do with the recruits but I just felt like responding.
