Jackrabbit Basketball Recruiting Update


I know that I am very football centric, especially on recruiting.  I thought it might be helpful to take a step back and see where the Jackrabbit basketball teams are at in their recruiting efforts for the next few classes.  We'll take a look at who has verbally committed to SDSU and provide a link to their highlights page so you can watch what they bring to the Jackrabbits.

Women's Basketball
Class of 2019
Tori Nelson- 6'0 wing from Henry Sibley High School in St. Paul, Minnesota


Regan Nesheim- 6'0 Forward from Johnston High School in Iowa

Kallie Theisen- 6'1 Forward from Wayzata High School in Plymouth, Minnesota


 Class of 2020
Madysen Vlastuin- 6'0 wing from Lennox High School in South Dakota

Emily Herzberg-6'0 guard from Melrose-Mindoro High School in Wisconsin

Maddie Mock- 6'0 forward from Johnston High School in Iowa

Mesa Byom- 6'1 forward from Melrose-Mindoro High School in Wisconsin


 Men's Basketball
Class of 2019
Owen Coburn- 6'10 center from Spirit Lake, Iowa


Baylor Scheierman- 6'6 guard from Aurora, Nebraska


Caleb Grill- 6'3 guard from Maize, Kansas


Douglas Wilson- 6'7 forward from Des Moines, Iowa via Kirkwood Community Collge


I can't wait to see these athletes in Brookings and for them to experience Frost Arena and the Summit League Tournament in Sioux Falls.  SDSU has created a national reputation for making the "Big Dance" in both men's and women's basketball and lets hope these athletes can continue that tradition.

Go Jacks!
Matt

Jackrabbit Football All-Decade Team

Image
Yes, we are well into the new year/decade but our debate has been fierce in creating an All-Decade Jackrabbit football team.  The challenges of creating this team were what to do with the players at the beginning and the end of the decade who may only have a year or two of stats to go on or what do we do with those players who only splashed for one year?  Further complicating matters was the consistent improvement of the Jackrabbit team as a whole and the level of competition they are facing week in and week out.  So with all of those factors, the Splitting Hares Podcast team of Ben Pierson, Brendan Luedtke, Kyle Sheehan, and Dallas Clarksean created our list of who the team should be.  All are welcome to their opinions!  Special thanks to Mitchell McLain who keeps an unbelievable database of Jackrabbit football statistics and information.  Offense Quarterback Taryn Christion (2015-2018) 44 games started, 59.70% completion rate, 11,535 yar...

Rants & Raves: LIU

Image
The Jacks won 38-3 on a cold and damp September evening.  The Jacks dominated statistically in nearly every area but it didn't feel like a fully satisfying victory.  How spoiled have we become as Jackrabbit fans? Rave: How about that defense?  The argument could be made that they have only surrendered 17 points in 2 games.  Pretty impressive.  For most of the night Saturday LIU was completely overwhelmed by the size and speed of the Jackrabbit defense.  LIU managed only 123 yards of total offense.  The performance was phenominal, even against a transitioning FCS opponent. I'll highlight some of the invidual performances later. Rant: Adult fans... enough said.  This writer is tired of the apathy and excuses. Rave: Students!  Great job showing up, being loud, and impacting the game.  That was great! Rave: The true freshmen really showed out.  Quinton Hicks impacted the game from his first snap.  Diamond Evans played w...
