2014 Recruits

[PURPLEFORLIFE]

You would assume that the Wizard is pursuring Chapman, but nothing is for sure. Remember, we have a 6-10 player who will be back from his mission by then. But, who knows if Chapman isn't a mission kid too. I've heard that Chapman is quite the player. But, I trust Rahe. I'm sure he has a plan.

Is the 6-10 kid Van Pelt? He will be gone by the time Chapman can play. Maybe Weber has a really great shot at getting Stutzman and so they aren't too worried and feel he will grow another inch or two. Who knows.

I'm pretty sure Chapman is also an automatic mission kid too. He won't be playing till the 2016 or 2017. He is a hot commodity in Utah though. USU, Utah, BYU-UT have all offered and he is in our backyard. I know that really doesn't mean much. Weber hasn't been all that successful at getting Weber county talent. Nic Sparrow is the best local (Weber County) player Weber has had that I can remember. I know that the Cats lost out on Neal Geddess (Ogden High went to USU), Matt Evans (Weber High went to USU), Cameron Koford (Fremont High went to Utah), Mike Punzey (Roy High went to USU), some Heslop guy (Ogden High went to BYU-UT), but Weber did get Anthony Jackson (BL).

You think Weber missed out on Evans, Puzey, & Koford? :rofl: if you add all 3 of them together you might get to 100 lbs. A Jackson was a walk-on. I don't think I would refer to the 3 above as Weber county talent. Evans played all of 5 minutes @ USU.

You do make a good point. I forgot about Jared Jensen (Fremont went to BYU), but he wasn't much of a star either. I'll put my trust in our coaching staff. They've done a pretty good job up to this point. It is nice having some Utah talent on the team, but if it isn't available, it isn't available.

Judging by where we are with guards in the program, I would say that this recruiting class is going to be all about centers and forwards. We will have the potential to bring in 4 or 5 players in this class. I would bet that no more than two of them will be guards. Maybe less than that. There will need to be at least one center, preferably two. It will be an important class, to say the least. Any bigs that we bring in will have the potential to contribute right out of the shute. It will be an interesting year for recruiting. We have enough quality in the program, at this point, that we don't have to bring in bodies to fill needs. We can concentrate on finding high quality players and students.

Since Randy has been here, the quality of our recruiting classes has improved every year. It's truly gratifying to see. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
