2013 Recruiting

Re: 2013 Recruiting

So? She would have gotten a fantastic education at SDSU as well. Glad for her that she can get just as good an education at Purdue, since that was her choice for basketball.

I understand, but there is a difference between the two schools. Saying that you received a Big Ten education is something that employers pay attention too. It does depend on the major, but the majority will get you a step ahead out of school. Now if it was an SEC school, I wouldn't be saying the same thing. Your dog could get accepted to those schools.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

I guess most phone books in SD have substantial listings for the surname Young and Mitchell apparently is not different. The article says Jill Young and Kerrie Young are not related. Both will impact SDSU WBB though. Finally this puts to rest a thought I had went Kerrie Young was first mentioned on this board, and that was is she related to Jill.

i still like to see the "signature", tho. not a slam at anyone at all---anybody that follows college recruiting knows what i mean.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

I think she plays fair amount. I watched a Purdue game on TV during the tournament. Ostarello looked effective on offense but seemed to get beat regularly on defense. Of course, that's a snap judgment from a game in which Purdue got hammered by 24 by UConn.

During the Big Ten Tournament Ostarello did not get meaningful minutes. Ostarello logged the ninth most minutes on the team. She averaged 12.9 minutes, 3.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and scored 102 points, but she is playing and going to a Big 10 school. Think she would have a lot more impact in Brookings.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

Is she a Rotert-type with her skill set?

sort of.

Probably not as good of a 3 point shooter as Kristen, but I think a bit better ballhandler and has a more complete post up game.
(at this point...she was only a sophomore)

A little more of a slasher.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

... I've been following the discussion on the Purdue board,and it seems to me,Ostarello from SD hasn't played all that much for the boilermakers.She'd have already been a starter I believe, had she decided to play for the Jacks.She might turn it around her last two years there,but it seems like it's a constant up hill battle for her,so far.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

Kerri Young is a great kid and a phenomenal BB talent.

6'0, plays like a guard, and actually has some good post moves already.
(although she's not physical like a Post)

I'd consider her probably a "3" for the Jacks.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

no doubt young is pretty special. sabers is one to watch also-----but, ihmo, the one that really impressed me was macy miller. especially in watching point guards. i mean, she LOOKED for the ball, wanted it in her hands. that's pretty impressive for a player that's a freshman---show's me confidence/leadership. for the most part, she is pretty fluid, very good body control. i only remember her getting really out of control once (during state tourney)---she got too far under basket and put up a bad shot. since she's a freshman, wouldn't doubt if she ends up being around that 6' mark by the time she's out of high school (i believe she is listed at 5'10"). i would put her on a list of top 6 players to watch.

A six foot point guard who handles the ball well,distributes the ball well to her team mates,can run the offense,and can shoot.Hope she stays home and plays for the Jacks.I've been following the discussion on the Purdue board,and it seems to me,Ostarello from SD hasn't played all that much for the boilermakers.She'd have already been a starter I believe, had she decided to play for the Jacks.She might turn it around her last two years there,but it seems like it's a constant up hill battle for her,so far.

Re: 2013 Recruiting

From the Daily Republic link listed above:

"Morgan said he’s been contacted by most of the in-state colleges about Young, who admitted she wants “to be a Jackrabbit someday.” Morgan said he’s also had at least two Division I basketball coaches scouting Young."

I'm not quite sure how to read that statement. Is he saying SDSU isn't a DI school?

To me it means...he's had at any one time two Div 1 teams scouting Miss Young .Perhaps one of them being SDSU?

Re: 2013 Recruiting

From Terry V's twitter account,Kerri Young wants to be a Jackrabbit.This is great news considering she's an all-state player in just her soph year in HS.Two more years to tear it up in High School,and then hope we sign her up for four more years playing for the Jacks.Here's the link
