Roddie Anderson son

Maybe it would help if our coaching staff recruited these kids and wanted them here. I don’t know the recruiting stories of those who haven’t come here, but it seems as if some of them weren’t pursued by our staff.

I just don't get how this thread went from Roddie Anderson's son to a discussion on BYU legacy players. I don't give a rat's behind what BYU's legacy athletes do. The only one I care(d) about was Crew Ainge because he suited up for the Aggies.

What BYU's legacy athletes do has no affect on us unless we are actively recruiting and offering them.

We didn't offer Roddie's son. Glad to see he's playing well, and it was an interesting thread to read for me.

We did recruit Ronnie Ross's son, and I believe we offered (with about 20 other programs) but @aggies22 probably has better knowledge of that. Wish we could've landed that one as he was a top 100 recruit nation-wide. C'est la vie. I'm not gonna (I can't express myself without swearing) and moan about it incessantly on here. I'll leave that to you two.

Remind me why we're degrading legacy kids in this thread. Good grief. Get a grip gentlemen.

I'm very happy to have had ALL of them in the program. And yes, I thought about adding Sam to the list even though his dad didn't play basketball at USU.
Nobody is degrading anybody.

Our alumni and ex-players just don't have the same loyalty that byu's have.
Who cares? Why is BYU even brought up in this thread? Has nothing to do with us. I don't get this argument. Tell me which legacy players we recruited but didn't sign.
I care because I want Utah State’s sports programs to get better players and win more games.

And how does BYU's legacy athlete record affect that? I'm really struggling to understand the tie in here.

Recruiting isn't an exact science. Sometimes a player would love to play for the same team their parent played for but don't get an offer. I remember reading about one recruit who dreamed of playing for Wyoming, but they never offered him because they didn't think he was D1 material. His name was Jaycee Carroll. I think it is a huge leap to assume that USU alumni do not have loyalty to USU because 1-2 children of former USU players chose to play elsewhere. We may have never offered him, and it is unclear if he would be an MWC-level player if we had. It's also worth pointing out that UCSD is ranked as the #34 college in the country by US News. It is also located in San Diego. It is possible that even if he and his family are USU fans and USU offered, he chose to attend a school with outstanding academics in a location that is less cold and less white than Logan. So it seems a little overboard to freak out about this.

I guarantee that had we offered, Roddie would have come here. If I remember correctly we just weren't sure if we had room for him so an offer was never made.

We did offer Jordan Ross but didn't recruit him as hard as some of the other schools that made his top 5. Bringing in Jordan would have created a log jam at point guard. I believe Mason Falslev will end up playing point guard and we signed Garrison Phelps to play at shooting guard.

Had we recruited the kid, everyone on here would have been ticked because we signed a kid that's best other offer was at UC San Diego. It's a lose-Lose.

They've put a couple of guards in the NBA and I'm sure that was a huge part of the recruiting pitch.

Its called comparing and contrasting the differences in loyalty between the two schools. A school located close to us and a historic rival. I don't get why that's causing you so much consternation.

Thanks for the insight! When I posted about Jordan Ross I was genuinely curious as to how much, if at all, we went after him

bpd · Post by **bpd** » January 25th, 2023, 4:26 pm

We after Ross pretty hard his sophomore year and into his junior year. Eventually he didn’t put us in the top 5, so at that point we stopped.

Sounds like he is going here from the fact that his dad goes out his way to talk about being Aggie then transfer portal. Rylan Jones is a 99% chance of retiring because no doctor in their right mind would say good to go after that many concussions. Dorius, Funk, RJ, Akin, and seems like Bairstow are gone after this season.

Rylan should not be on scholarship next year. We need someone to who can stay healthy.

SLB · Post by **SLB** » March 7th, 2023, 10:22 pm

Ashworth and Shulga starting with Falslev and RA3 as the backups sounds great to me. Phelps, Zee, and maybe Grant at the 3 with guards good enough to take the 3 spot. Leaving the 4/5 being Templin, Sakho, Isaac Johnson, and maybe Grant.

UC San Diego's season was cancelled from COVID rules. Anderson went in the portal as the top freshmen of the Big West. He averaged 15.8 points and 3.9 assists per game in the Big West, and the one real negative thing is turnovers were an issue (over 3 per game). It was mentioned that Anderson like Shulga is very young for college year, so Anderson like Shulga will improve a lot over the years.

If we got RA3, it would be the second year in a row of getting a 2nd chance recruit transfer from the Big West.

So we will give 3 seasons of scholarship to get a combined full season of play.

I’m sorry, I just think this is a mistake with his injury history.

I would say what might trip us up is Ashworth and Shulga still having two years left. Unless Phelps can play wing.

Sounds like he’s a great teammate and if he does that means his health is good enough to pass which is good for him.

BUT

Not sure that is the best for the team. His last three seasons have been hampered by injuries. Only 13 scholarships on basketball team and not sure a scholarship is what is best for the team with injury history

Anderson seems good enough to offer more rest minutes to Stephen and Max. A good player will want to come in and take minutes in a good program. I'd love to have him here.

I'm trying recall Jaycee's interviews, but didn't he state the Wyoming wouldn't even come watch him play? Then, of course, Stew's typical sort of recruiting shenanigans to get Jaycee to sign when the offer was between "him and one other guy," and whoever accepted first would get the position. Jaycee later laughing about how there never was another guy.
