Probably more like this...
I 'KNOW' this will surprise you, but my hero in wrestling growin up was JIMMY HART 'THE MOUTH OF THE SOUTH' !! with his checkered megaphone.
love me or hate.me, I ALWAYS have your back bison fans
I know this is a thread drift and I know some of you get pissed about me bringing him up but Jackson Jeffcoat (the number 1-8 recruit in the nation depending on who you look at) got multiple letters (and I'm guessing offers ) from some D3 (seriously) school in NY. I think a big problem is how the extensively covered the recruiting is every year. Everyone knows every offer the kids get and fans of schools bitch when their teams doesn't offer a kid when in reality they probably had little chance of getting him.
BRING BACK SNORTY
Good post, my question is that the two solid recruits in Heemstra and Dykstra are coming in because of the graduation of a couple kids, who is replacing these 4 kids who just left suddenly? Are you even going to fill the entire roster? I think a Juco PG (Who I do not think won a game last year, I could be wrong) was added late as well, but this has to be a huge hit on Nagy at this point. I honestly thought SDSU was on the verge of being something, but you don't win with young post players and no depth. I like Dykstra and Heemstra, they are going to be very good in the Summit. Some great stories out there about how Marshall Bjorkland played against Dykstra at the Iowa State camps.
Since the two players that transferred weren't going to play anyways, we really didn't lose them besides having practice bodies and emergency depth. The hope is that the JUCO PG and JUCO Post will replace Palarca & AC's minutes. (I haven't seen them play so I'm not sure if they will be replace their talent or not.)
I too thought that SDSU was on the up, but now we are back to rebuilding again. Just like the Bison football program, I feel like you can only chalk up so much to coincidence and bad luck. I'd like to see Nagy coach this team for the next couple years and if we don't finish in the top 3 in the Summit I wouldn't be opposed to looking elsewhere.
The bright side for Jacks fans is that the past two classes are supposed to be the best in SDSU history. The bad part is I'm not too fond of relying on Freshman & Sophomore's for success. I'm guessing we'll look good at times, and awful at times.
Line-up:
PG So Wolters / JUCO JR
SG SR Sargent / SR Moss
SF RFR White / JR Callahan
PF FR Dykstra / JUCO JR
PF SO Fiegen / FR Heemstra
Add in RFR SG Carlson and SDSU still has 11 players that can contribute good mintues with a couple more walk-on/bench players. The cupboard isn't bare, just young.
I agree with this to some degree. Minneapolis Jack touched on most of it though. I think it's hard to put so much pressure on a guy who 1) had so much success in D-2 and 2) brought you through the transition. I think he has this year and next year to get it done. Any longer or anymore big issues with players leaving, he's probably going to be gone and should be in my opinion. I still think he's a great coach and he'd probably be successful somewhere else, but sometimes things just need a change. I think you can relate this to NDSU with Bohl in a way. But Bohl has'nt had the amount of years that Nagy has. Bohl's just had issues the last 2 years.
So here's my question, TV said in his article that NDSU has 35 offers out and in another thread about Bohl being on the radio it says 18 offers and that came from the coach, so which is it? I know TV likes to make NDSU look like the big bad monster in the room that is pushing his buddy Stig into speeding things up and to a lesser degree that jackass down in Vermtown.
