SDSU Hoops

Basketball at Brookings is coming off its worst season. A young team got younger as players quit, got kicked off, and graduated. It has been rumored the Matt Cadwell plans on leaving though no official announcement has came. Coach Nagy decided to do whats best and start recruiting kids and he did. Nagy will have new assistant coaches next year as his full-time assistant was relieved of his duties and both of his grad assistants graduated though Cuttingham has been hired to fill one of his full-time assistant jobs SDSU will be adding another full time assistant to meat Mid-Con standards.
PG from California
SF from Colorado
PG/2G from South Dakota
2G/SF from Iowa

Nagy returns what looks to be the best on and off the court player in Kai Williams a kid from Canada that has came in and worked hard. Kai will be in a place to become a leader and I believe he will become a great one. Nagy also returns Garret Callahan a kid from Nagy's home state of Illinois that came in and ran the point well for the Jacks... Others returning will be Blake Yackley a good perimeter shooter showed signs of coming out but never could do it consistently, Thomas Basset a strong kid though undersized that played well at times but struggled from the line. Mark Engen a kid that really played well towards the end of the season, also returning would be Anthony Cordova the kid had to sit out last year due to academic reasons but look for him to come in and play strong minutes for the Jacks next year.

The Jacks will be entering a conference and play actual games at Frost I expect all SDSU students to attend as many games as possible I am not one but will try to catch 1 or 2... SDSU will be better next year and if they land Colton Iverson in 08 could really become something look for SDSU to be right up there in 08 fighting for the NCAA tournament bid.
