Signing day

[Mslacat]

Today is the first day of the national letter of intent early signing period. I know the Griz will sign at least two Derek Selvig and Brian Qvale (even if they did spell his name wrong on the Letter of Intent). The Bobcats will also sign at least two, Bobby Howard and Jeff Edwards. Each school should have a total three scholarship at a minumum, so the question is will either sign a third. There are variuos rumors fling around but it should be interesting to see who they sign. The signing period last until November 16th, and next year they may move it up a month.

OK how does Cox prevent you from filling your third scholarship. Cox is a walk-on and from what I am hearing if any of the walk-ons will earn a scholarship, I hear it will be Ryan Staudacher. Cox will struggle to crack the line-up next year Staudacher will contribute this year.

Staudacher will get the 3rd scholly.

Then Staud gets the nod for the schollie. Im just saying that I dont think we will recruit anybody else for that third schollie since we already have 2 walk ons

here's what i think is going on, based on nothing more than my own uplink to the intergalactic mojo. vanderjagt was promised he'd play as a freshman but given his frame our coaches are having a belated clarification of their previous thinking yet no decision can be made without the consent of vanderjagt and his family. i cannot see it coming as any surpsie to zach graves given our depth at guard that he's being asked to redshirt.

Let me start this off by welcoming Selvig and Qvale. I wish you luck your SR year, and cannot wait for both you to dawn the Maroon and Silver.

As for this years Freshman, I think Vanderjagt could help us quite abit against bigger lineups, by midseason he could be a very good contributor for us. However, I am selfishly hoping Graves, Vanderjagt, and Simms all redshirt. Those 3 along with Selvig and Qvale would be a nightmare for 4 years. Those 5 would all be in a 10 man rotation in 2008, along with Rundles, Staudacher, Swift, Hasquet, and Sharp. Come 2009, minus Hasquet, Sharp, and Swift from that equation. As for Cox, he should stick with the GRIZ, but unless there are injuries or he works like Strait has, he will contribute here and there.
Tenative 2008 rotation: (many combinations)
PG's- Rundles, Graves, Cox, Swift
SG- Swift, Graves, Staudacher, Simms
SF- Swift, Simms, Selvig, Hasquet, Sharp
PF- Hasquet, Sharp, Qvale, Selvig, Vanderjagt
C-Vanderjagt, Qvale, Selvig, Hasquet.

Small line up- Rundles, Staudacher or Graves, Swift, Hasquet, Selvig
Big line up- Swift, Hasquet, Selvig, Vanderjagt, Qvale (I think both Selvig and Hasquet could play the 2 and each of them can play anywhere on the court.)
Look at the big line up, 6'5, 6'9", 6'10", 7'0", 6'11". There will be very few teams in the nation that could go that big with production and still be able to run too.
3 pt lineup- Rundles or Graves, Staudacher, Swift, Hasquet, Selvig or Vanderjagt (the Aussie does have range.)

One could go on and on with all the combinations. When you think about it, the future is so brighter and the present is bright. Great job Griz coaches for assembling such a great core of kids on the court and off. Thanks GUYS!!!! I think it will be wise to get season tickets now. They will be hard to come by soon.

What makes you sure these two won't red shirt next year?

 

[GrizWhiz]

We only have one senior post player (Chavez) and what should be a ton of super quality big men coming back along with Vanderjagt possibly off of a redshirt year. My hope is both will redshirt.
