Since all of you are so concerned about SDSU and recruiting, here is a quote directly from Coach Stig's keyboard today as part of a live chat with the Rapid City Journal earlier today. Stig was asked if SDSU is behind in recruiting, "I would say we are not behind, we move slower than the rest because we choose to get to know kids maybe a little deeper. We look for a true fit. Everybody does it how they feel fit."
Sounds pretty lame to me...Do they hold hands in a circle and sing Kumbaya with each recruit? Or do they offer them a beer or milk and see which one they choose?Quote:

I am sure this quote reflects sincerity and honesty even though it reads like the typical corporate positioning statement used when the clients become concerned.Quote:

We get it, you recruit different. Maybe TV can write another blog on Stig and how they are just different. So far we are having an amazing recruiting season. Each school is different. On signing day, I plan on being very excited as this class is composed of great student athletes, great GPA's, great multi sport/multi position athletes and the vast majority of them come from the region. Back to our roots so to speak. I get so frustrated when Stig says they like to get to know the kids more.....We get them on campus a year early and watch them in our own camp. Then do home visits, then campus visits, etc. Not sure what else you want. Bohl has changed his recruiting in the last two years, and the results show. Now it is time to start winning those close games.
Can't wait for the future.
Well said husker.Quote:

So, I really like our strategy of getting most of these kids up on campus in the summer for our camp. Sure get to know alot about a kid over a weekend camp. They get to interact with their position coach, the other players at camp, build a rapport. Again, I just don't see how anyone can spin what we have done this year as a negative. All Major D1 programs recruit this way. Why would a school wait for the last two weeks to do visits and make offers? Day late and a dollar short on a few kids. I don't argue with Stig's results. They work, but he did lose some regional recruits due to this change in philosophy.
keep the excuses coming, ill be here all day for some more laughsQuote:

NOPE
according to wissports.net we have a walkon offer to fullback/linebacker Jason Hengel...he will be taking an official visit in january.
he's wrong cuz mohler's only played a couple games? he still has 3 years to play, maybe he pans out maybe he doesn't.Quote:

Therefore, many talented recruits who are receiving interest (not the same as an offer) from an FBS will hold off their commitment because they feel they might get an offer from their more coveted schools, when in reality they might have been that programs' 2nd/3rd/4th option at that particular position. Many of these kids won't find out till later in the process whether or not the FBS program(s) got the player(s) rank ahead of them in the recruiting depth chart, and if the kid becomes the odd man out, they start weighing their FCS options.Quote:

Ughh....
Are we pretty much done as long as all verbals sign or is there room for a couple more players?

NDSU and SDSU has *interest* but I think he is our 3rd cb choice behind fred jackson/fred blow.
I think there is still room for a couple more. Atleast I hope so, say maybe a kicker! Has anybody seen anything on Fred Jackson since his visit or did I just miss it?Quote:

He's also a two-time defending state wrestling champ. Seems like a good candidate for a fullback or linebacker.
The article doesn't give me enough confidence to put him on the recruiting summary yet - there are just too many cases of mistaken identity.

* One site said 4.7.
I agree that 227 sounds better than 205.Quote:

The strength coaches do an excellent job with players that the coaches determine need to bulk up and add a little extra weight. The make sure that the players are not only putting on weight but are putting it on the right way. Joe was an excellent example of this.Quote:

I saw about 4 of them last night but really couldn't tell you who they where. The only one I noticed was Jackson as I seem to be checking every other day to see if there are any updates on his rivals page.Quote:
