Re: 2013 Recruiting

In my first year as an assistant coach, I had the honor of coaching against Clark/Willow Lake at the state tournament this season. Chynna Stevens is all that and a bag of chips! She drove it in on us against man and hit jumpers and threes on us against the zone. She looks like she put on about 20 pounds (muscle) since I last seen her play in the 2010 tournament. She still has plenty of upside and SDSU fans will be pleased with her when she arrives on campus. One player that I was impressed with also and who gave us fits in the paint was Chynna's 6'2" teammate, Mackenzie Huber (only a freshman), who is a post. She has a frame somewhat similar to Melissa Pater. The only "glitch" I could see is that when we switched to zone, she couldn't really hit from the outside. If C/WL develops a good guard or two they could be the favorites to win a state title next year!

SDSU doesn't need to go too far out of the region. There are a TON of Div. I girls basketball players in the state of MN, and that's just counting one state/location. Here's a good indicator of what MN has to offer right now:

Re: 2013 Recruiting

I love to see us get as many of the regional kids who have DI talent, but shouldn't our success provide opportunities outside of our normal footprint to get perhaps even more talented kids? I'm not as caught up in where they come from as others as once they are a Jack it's irrevelant.

Getting the best in our four state region or getting players passed over further away (out of our footprint)There's a reason those areas are out of our footprint ( they're in someone elses,or multiple teams).We have to build our program up a little more to get hoop girlz top 100 type players.
You do that with winning.I think AJ's doing a good job at providing wins thus far.I think of it as going from one stepping stone to the next.If you try and rush it too much, it can end up hurting you more than you helping yourself.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

You may be right about the rankings, but the way I seemed to remember it was that the numbers you used for Waytashek were her ranking when she signed the letter, not when she verballed as a junior. If that number is correct when she verballed (before the junior season), it would seem to me we should always be looking at the ranking (FWTIW) when they actually sign as a senior.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

Just looked at the Minnesota class of 2013 rankings at gprep.net and Ober is ranked just out of the top 30 prospects - their rankings tend to be biased to Twin Cities players who play on their summer AAU teams. Also noticed that there is another Waytashek from Centennial High ranked in the top 30 in 2013 - would guess this is Megan's sister ?

We seem to be recruiting folks that are a little lower in these specific rankings the past few years - I'm not sure if that is an indicator of their talent or not as it is just one set of rankings. Megan Waytashek was I believe 3rd in her class in these rankings (our highest get), our two bigs from this past year were ranked in the top 20 I think, and now Jessica Hart and Ober are a little lower yet.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

Per TV's Twitter:

SDSU got a verbal from Glencoe-Silver Lake Jr. post Clarissa Ober, according to her dad, former Jacks star Cullen Ober. http://myalt.us/269z

Time really flies, it was just yesterday, that Cullen was playing. A good player in his time. Does he have any 6'10 sons?
