2025 recruiting class

I could be wrong, I often am, but I feel that the recruiting for the early signing period is over now. We have 5 seniors and we have filled 4 positions. That leaves us with 1 grant left to give, unless there are some of our own who transfer in the spring. It seems like there are often transfers in the spring, so we will see.

What sort of player might we be looking to sign in the spring? Probably a big man or two, depending. We are losing two big men to graduation and will have mostly young guys filling in.

So far, this recruiting class is one of the most athletic we have had in a while. From what I have seen, they are quite talented as well. Only time will tell, but it all looks good to me. It's certainly the highest rated class we have had, that I can remember. I like that we are building with freshmen and filling in with transfers and not the other way around.
 
Can these recruits play now? The last two games aren’t really encouraging. Sure they are against good teams but it’s not looking good getting rolled by USU, Oregon State, and Nevada.

This year's approach is 100% different than last years. Last year in the preseason we were trying to win every game and highlight our NBA draft pick, Dillon Jones. We used a tight rotation from the get go and it probably hurt us in the late season. This year, even in the bigger games, we are playing 10 and 11 guys significant minutes. With all of the new faces and three freshmen getting a lot of minutes against really good competition, you can expect a lot of inconsisencies. The idea is to get these guys ready to play major roles as depth for later in the season. We may take our lumps now, but the plan is to have better depth and be playing at our peak in February and March.

Personally, I like the longer range perspective. Let's visit this again in late March.

So far, this recruiting class is very, very good. Time will tell, but maybe one of the best we have ever had. I don't remember any recruiting class being rated higher than this one. In past years we have had maybe one player rated this high, but never all four rated as high as these guys are. To give you a little perspective, Damian Lillard and Dillon Jones were not rated as high as the lowest one of these four. Now, will they work as hard and turn out as good as Lillard and Jones? Nobody really knows.

Sounds a lot like the synopsis from the last Eric Duft roundball excuse speech? Build up the highs and downplay the lows. It is okay to really look in the mirror and form your own opinions
