Now that we have hired a new coach, lets start a recruits thread. Does anyone know who we have coming in as freshman this fall semester?

www.goyotes.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/112213aaa.htmlJustin Decker of Huron is the only incoming freshman that I know of, so far. I would think we have another scholarship to give (assuming Decker got one) with Gruis and Rowson graduating. Perhaps Smith will be bringing Terran Petteway with him from Nebraska

We would be doing very good to get Nathan Hawkins, he saw time for the Huskers this year as a freshman, but from what I've heard is he'd be moving closer to his girlfriend in Texas.
Tim Wagner is a guy who could probably do well for us. If we got any of the three, he would be the one I expect.
Vucetic can stay away from our program. It seems he was kindly asked to transfer because he has zero work ethic.

I was intrigued by Vucetic based on height, but I was not aware he had work ethic issues.

Lee Barfknecht from the Omaha World Harold says Sergej will visit USD. in the Summit, 7'1" is still 7'1".

Lee Barfknecht from the Omaha World Harold says Sergej will visit USD. in the Summit, 7'1" is still 7'1". This was my Exact thought. Should be able to get 'sonething' out of a seven footer, especially with Gruis leaving. One would hope Smith knows about any work ethic issues as well.

Word on the street is Sergej was on campus visiting.

Rumor is that Sergej saw no time at Nebraska because he had no work ethic. Wouldn't practice, wouldn't go to class, not a team player etc., but I guess Coach Smith would know exactly what he's getting into if he offered Sergej. He is 7' 2". I'm not sure there is anyone in the Summit that big.

Really? I never heard that from my Nebraska sources. Just always heard he was too thin to bang with the B1G competition.
If what you are saying it true, Yotes, then I don't want him. However, I am a little skeptical of this. I really doubt Smith would be trying to take him in if all of that were true. He has absolutely no obligation to recruit him if he has first hand knowledge that he is a bum.

I suppose I should have worded that differently. His build is probably reason #1 why he didn't see time, but there may be problems with his work ethic beyond that. I have faith that Coach Smith would make the right call, but he will have his reasons if he turns away a 7'2" transfer from a Big Ten school.

Nathan Hawkins is transferring to Texas-Arlington. Have not heard anything about Wagner, but I believe Vucetic had his visit over the weekend. The signing period begins tomorrow, so expect to hear some news in the near future.

Smith said a couple recruits are coming this weekend on the radio. Will be making visits in house next week.
Also, it was made clear to me that Wagner was not in the cards, nor is he of the level of a D1 player.

It's close to home and his high school teammate will be a sophomore at WSU next year. I'll be surprised if he ends up somewhere else.
