2014 Recruit Update?

Have the Freshman showed up on campus yet? I thought they would attend Summer school? I hear Jefferson is going to be the surprise of the group!
 
The way I understand it, the whole team should be here over the weekend of the 1st of June. I have no idea where or when they will be playing. However, I plan to find out and take a look at them later in the week. Personally, I think any or all of them could be stars for us. There is going to be a lot of competition for playing time, across the board. :coffee:
 
How would Jefferson be the surprise of the group? For over a year we have been hot on him. The kid can flat out play. Many on this board have predicted that he will be a four year starter. No surprise there.
 
Oldrunner is correct about the majority of the team having to be there by the 1st of June. There maybe one or two of the freshmen from Texas coming in a little later because of graduation. There are some of the players that have been back for a week or more though and they have been working out and playing. Joel, Richaud, Kyndahl, and James have been there and they have been playing with Mook and JRich as well as getting in workouts with the coaching staff. I hear Jeremy gets in today or tomorrow as well.
 
I keep hoping that Van Pelt comes back with about 30 lbs more on his frame! I think we are a bit vulnerable at the big spot! James is not going to be able to take us to the next level. He's not Tresnak ! Bolomboy is a force, but needs to develop a greater skillset. After that it's a freshman, that we might redshirt!

It's going to be a different Weber State team with lots and lots of youth! We need to get a big coach with the McCoy opening......

I think the days of recruiting strong freshman and burying them on the bench is over! If the big from Colorado can play, then Rahe will play him! Redshirt isn't an option! I think we are in for a surprise. He's highly rated in every scouting service and I'm sure he didn't come here to redshirt.
 
Midmajor- Braxton will not redshirt, there is no way. All of the quotes I have read from his dad say that he chose Weber because he could play for 4 years. I will bet you dinner that Zach will be our starting 5 out of the gate. There will be some growing pains, but I think we signed up for this. Again mycats, there are no surprises with Jefferson and Braxton. We know what we are getting. The other two freshman recruits could surprise us. But these two we know are top notch and have come here to contribute immediately.

I've read all the press on Braxton and agree he comes to us with a lot of potential, but the Big Sky is not kind to Bigs. He's going to have to get stronger and put on some weight. I saw Mika from BYU get poked in the eye and beat up last year. The transition from high school to college is huge! I'm not sure if he's had that kind of exposure playing against smaller kids in Colorado! Let's see how he responds when he takes that first blow to the back in practice.

I guess we'll know soon!
 
Does anyone know where they scrimmage during the summer? I'd like to stop by and see if the hype is real! I saw the Colorado all star game and don't see this kid shying away from contact. I saw him looking for contact. Free throw shooting is an area to improve as he gets fouled a lot! I follow him on his twitter account and it looks like he's working out everyday and lifting weights. I'm ready for the season to start!
 
In looking at our roster, knowing how Randy likes to set up his player rotations, and seeing who has a red shirt year available, I don't think that there will be more than one red shirted player, if any. There will be 5 guards in the rotation and 4 bigs. After that, number 10, 11, and 12 would get spotty playing time or be candidates for a red shirt year. We have 6 guards and 6 bigs on our roster. Of the bigs, 3 or 4 have already used a red shirt year and the others are likely to command a lot of playing time. That leaves only one guard that doesn't make the 5 man rotation as a possibility. However, this may be a year when there are no red shirts, except walkons. Had Royce stayed, he probably would have been the 5th guard and then two of them could have sat out the year. I'm not sure that I have ever liked the idea of red shirting just one guy. If everyone is going to play, it might be the year to bump it up to a 10 man rotation. :twocents:
 
I saw some freshman at the dorms....... I think we are going to be just fine. One kid was so big I thought he was a d lineman on the football team, but he told me no bro...... I play basketball. :rockon:
