Nate Wolters verbals to SDSU

[zooropa]

someone should tell the kid that Brookings is a womens basketball town!!!

Well, see, SDSU, unlike NDSU, plays Saturday doubleheaders. Which makes Brookings a basketball town, period, not a women's basketball town or a men's basketball town.

Behind Callahan the Jacks have JR Dale Moss (6ppg, might start over Sargent next year)

Sargent will start as long as he is in a Jacks uniform (or unless he is hurt/coming off an injury), for if Moss is playing well enough to warrant starting, he'll be at the 3 and Sargent will be at the 1.

I just hope his Dad is happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wolters is an excellent player and would have been great as a bison. The fact that he siged down south doesn't change that. Over the next few years we will lament the fact that he is not a bison.

He had the ball in his hands at SC Tech out of necessity. He moves well without the ball and will be used primarily as a 2 guard. He scores well at the hoop and will challenge bigger players. I agree, he probably was interested in NDSU early on and miffed that he was not offered. When you call him after the state tournament and say, OH I guess we are interested, it probably doesn't go over well.

He won't play much of the 2 guard at SDSU, he is brought in as the point guard.

Looks like he can start right away, Palarca is very marginal, I wouldn't even take Palarca over Vaughan. I still think NDSU backing off was a part of this, SDSU never really pulled back, he kind of pulled back from them(which is still the part I don't get about this whole thing).

It's hard to say that SDSU never really pulled back, as it seems both SDSU and Nate broke off communication for about 4 months. Neither were contacting each other according to this:

To me the situation went down like this. It seems like SDSU wanted Nate to commit early last fall, he and his family liked SDSU, the staff, and the offer, but had reservations at that time (most likely related to the job security of the SDSU staff). SDSU continued to push for a commitment probably assuming that if they didn't sign him early they wouldn't have a chance later as he was going to blow up during his senior season (which almost happened>>>see Colorado St). The pressure turned Nate off and they ended the recruitment. SDSU has a decent season, lands a couple of big recruits, brings back all their talent, and the questions around the staff being dismissed are ended. SDSU jumps back in and Nate sees a school that has been on high on him from the beginning (SDSU had offers to both Nate and Felt at the same time last summer), a more positive situation in Brookings, and an opportunity to join a program on the mend. Hopefully it will work out for both parties.

"Point guard is the position I'm most comfortable with," Wolters said. "Hopefully, I can see time right away. I know it will be tough to get time."

If he wants to be a point guard and play right away he went to the right place.

If he wants to play right away he went to the right place, that team needs help on the road!

Fixed it for ya

this kid is WAY overrated anyways. little worm from sc tech

Hey -- I'm from SC Tech! Just 'cause the kid doesn't pick NDSU he's a worm and now all of a sudden he's overrated??? Are you gonna take your toy and go home to play by yourself now? NDSU is a great school but it's not for everybody. He's a kid, give him a break. I guess he saw something about SDSU he liked better.
