Hess is an excellent QB and probably will go down as YSU's best. That being said, Russell Wilson is infinitely superior. If Hess decides to leave after next season, he better have graduated because he ain't getting drafted early. He would be lucky to get picked up as a free agent after 4 seasons.

absolutley zero of that is true. you're talent evaluation skills are pretty terrible. he's a lock for at worst day 2 pick. size, strong arm, accurate, mobile, smart. Wilson is a pretty bad QB, weak arm, completes 28% of his passes when he rolls left, and struggles to make throws into coverage or under pressue.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Kurt Hess and the Draft
« on: April 29, 2012, 01:44:26 AM »
after watching the draft the last 3 days i sat and realized, i think Hess would have been the 4th QB off the board, maybe to Seattle who took Russell Wilson in the 3rd round. i think he honestly might consider leaving after this year if he has a good year because its going to be a very very weak draft class and he could go as high as the 2nd round. you have 4 guys who look like 1st round potential then the rest look pretty average. i think it would be very tempting for him to stay if he gets told he has a 2nd or 3rd round grade.

Lector,
Look it up dummy.  Rotnei is his name.  Stay in Boardman where you belong.

i think it was more of a comment of how dumb the kids first name was

High school basketball in the Mahoning Valley is a wasteland.  Can't get any help here.  Players in other parts of the country want to come to a basketball school where fans are excited about their game.  Hey, thirty years ago, but not now.  But there is a potential source of talent that we have largely ignored.  Basketball in Europe is vastly superior to what it was thirty years ago.  For our community, with over half the population tracing their roots to southern or eastern Europe, this source should have been tapped long ago. And eastern Europeans tend to be taller than say, French or Spaniards.  And those players would leap at the chance for an American college education (paid for with their basketball skills.)  And there are ethnic organizations in the Mahoning Valley with cultural ties to those ancestral homelands.  We should be networking with those folks and seeking info about potential talented teenager players in Lithuania (remember Vytas) Greece, and the remnants of Yugoslavia.  And Slocum (or at least one assistant) should fly out there once a year.  But that takes money, and we all know that administrative staffing takes priority over recruiting in all sports except football.


the downside is that getting guys from Europe can cause MAJOR NCAA violations as if you're any good in Europe you're getting paid to play, which means you are more then likley going to be ruled ineligable to play in the NCAA. No Reason to take the chance of the Basketball program getting the death penalty just to get some scrubs from europe

I am not saying yeah or nay, but a couple of legendary coaches did it for Butler ...and look where the program is today.

not with guys who got paid over seas, not all players do

Mentor,
I know the SEC sucks in basketball that's why Kentucky won the champioship and Florida was in the elite 8.  Just admit our recruiting needs to keep pace with the rest of the Horizon League.

Kentucky had at least 4 Kids who will be 1st round picks in the NBA, thats why they won, NOT Because they were in the SEC. Florida had a very easy road to the EE, NOT because they played in the SEC.  but dont worry that post is all i need to know that you're clueless.

if the SEC was so good why does the Mountain West have a higher confrence RPI ranking?

thats pathetic and terrible for a BCS Football confrence

Transfers may help.  Butler has a transfer from Arkansas in Rotnei Clark who averaged 15ppg in the SEC. That is not a type-o.  Loyala has Culley Payne a transfer from Iowa who was all newcomer in the Big Ten. Loyola also has a big guy Devin Hill from Depaul coming in.  Valpo has a Bobby Capobianco transfering from Indiana.  I think Detroit has a transfer in Nolan Dennis from Baylor.  All of these are eligible to play this coming season. 

Loyola had a great recruiting class plus those transfers so expect them to make a huge improvement next year.  Each team in the League is getting players 6-8 or bigger how come we cannot?

If we have two scholarships left then they need to be quality post players 6-8 or bigger.   

We may take a step back to the basement next year since the league is loaded and each team is bringing in great talent and size.


dont make that sound more impressive then it somewhat is, the SEC Sucks at Basketball

I dont think juniors are allowed to be recruited or sign anything...while id like to think she would be actively recruited when shes able to be...she is a national level athlete.  Its hard enough to keep talent in Ytown, its gotta be even harder to keep them when they have a free pass to wherever they please.

oh theres no doubt she's not going to YSU.  i have a close personal connection with her and her familly (wont say whom or how) and he has zero interest in YSU

Who does as a junior?  Its my opinion that the better athletes at YSU end up there...I dont particularly think most of them set out to go there.  But things happen, offers come and go, coaches get hired and fired.  If shes already ruled YSU out before recruiting even begins, id say thats quite unwise.


has nothing to do with Offers or Coaches, she just flat out doesnt like anything about YSU, the school, campus, surroundings, etc

Why so little chatter. Nice game, nice weather, nice crowd.
