Prep recruits

[tsull]

Jarod Stanley of Sprague High School in Salem, Oregon, commits to WOU. This was the one recruit I really hoped they'd get. He's a 6-4 guard, very athletic...

[tsull]

Great point, I think it's a 3-year rebuild at WOU even with the portal. I'm okay with that as long as it gets rebuilt, we create an identity, and discover...

[tsull]

Let's hear it for Central Washington University as they signed a really good high school player from in state today. Western Oregon also offered on the...

[tsull]

I'm definitely pleased. It's amazing he's got to find 12 more players. But I'll predict they will all be better than the previous guys....

[tsull]

One thing coaches either can't do or don't want to do these days is get a freshman and develop them. Yes, they could take off for a D1 bench position...

[tsull]

To coach Orton's credit, he did get a 6 ft 10 kid from Oregon today. Like Anchorage said, however, he's a transfer from the Citadel but play just one...

[tsull]

If true that would be disappointing. We need to get a foothold in the state and not be this anonymous university with a bunch of Californians on it. There's...

[tsull]

The program has never been lower, I believe record was 10-50 last two years. Good points, Goods, chance for somebody to get some serious playing time....

[tsull]

I'm hoping Western Oregon signs half transfers/half high school players. High school players are getting jobbed these days, not even small colleges are...

[tsull]

Western Oregon's entire team in the portal, I'm guessing they're going division 3. No signed recruits yet in Monmouth.

[tsull]

Schools need to compensate others for taking their players. It's plain and simple. It's a professional league, professionals trade players and compensate...

[tsull]

NAIA is not a 4-letter word. I see little to know difference between most NAIA and most D2. Now high-level D2 is pretty good, but so is NAIA. Remember,...

[tsull]

I still think there's some good recruits out there. I'm not a big fan of the portal and nil but there's always quality basketball players to be found....

[tsull]

I stand corrected: Former Alaska Fairbanks and University of Idaho player Mrus got a deal at BYU. More power to him. Are these coaches just under recruiting...

[tsull]

Looks like an I2 guy -- Instant Impact. Big, scores and rebounds well. On paper, a great get.

WOU coach Ryan Orton is hitting the recruiting...

[tsull]

Contrary to popular belief, a lot of these guys won't get picked up. Mrus -- formerly of UAF and at Idaho last year -- had a lot of injuries at UI, played...

[tsull]

I've lived all over the Northwest, Idaho, Oregon, Washington; the knowledge of small college sports by the average fan and even the students attending...

[tsull]

Western Oregon had one guy remaining, Ty Best, I don't think played at all this past year he put himself into the portal so every single guy is gone....

[tsull]

This is spot on. I try to tell some of my friends that most people don't know the difference between division 2 and division 3, and like you said, some...

[tsull]

More on fans. Fans fund college sports almost 100%. They fund scholarships and nil 100%. In division 1 sports, it starts with the networks. The TV network...
