Let's not forget Pelle played AAU ball with Isaac Hamilton. I hope they enjoyed their time together at the game.

Waco is a dump (Fresno of Texas). I know Baylor has been very successful the last few years, but I just can't see any kid from So Cal that would want to be in Waco TX for a few years. I really hope that we can get some 4* verbals for 2013 this season

Pelle seems like he is most interested in only himself. That's not how we roll here. Fisher is all about team and has everyone buying in. With Johnson committed, I'd much rather have Shepard. What are you basing yor comments on Pelle on? The fact that he hasn't committed to us already? From Edward Lewis's report, it sounded like he just wanted to take some time to sort things out in his life and not make a hasty decision. Sounds reasonable to me considering he's just coming off a major decision (to go to St Johns) and then realizing it wasn't for him. If anything, it seems like he is making an attempt to not make the same mistake twice. That's fine. I would love for all our potential recruits to always be gushing over SDSU, but are we really going to make sweeping generalizations about the guy's character just because he hasn't? It has nothing to do with him not committing to us yet. Its through reading his tweets. He said he wants more schools to offer him and how he plans to go pro after one season. But I do see your side and no, I would not be mad at all if he committed to state. Talent is talent and I'm sure Fisher knows a lot more about him than I do. Hell, majority of people on this site know more than I.

I think we have a very good chance at landing him at this point, but a lot is on him and his grades. I think him being at the game on Saturday was huge for us. At the same time, I am no longer holding my breath on this kid. Would LOVE to have him actually make it on to campus and play for us, even if only for 1 season... but at this point I am happy to have James Johnson locked in. That win was massive for us. The insane home crowd and a win over our biggest rival in the west in front of all of the recruits we had there. Bummed that Roschon Prince, Jordan Bell, Marc Rodgers and Brandon Randolph were not there. Saw on twitter that they were unable to get a ride down here and I think LB Poly may have had a game that night anyway. I think landing Pelle would give us a very strong chance at getting Isaac Hamilton, Roschon Prince and Jordan Bell in 2013. Supposedly on the Hamilton brothers, it is down to us and Baylor. What the hell is it with Baylor recently??? I mean, this school(for the most part) has been in absolute obscurity forever, now, seemingly out of nowhere the past couple of year's, they're landing all of these 5*, blue chip recruits and in both football and basketball and are always seemingly at or near the top of all recruting classes. Don't get me wrong, their coach, Scott Drew, is a solid coach and apparently a top notch recruiter, however, I believe there is more to it than just that alone. I'm thinking there is more than likely some big time booster behind the scenes enticing these kids through the door over there. How long before any of you believe Baylor get's probed by the NCAA?

A coach friend of mine (on the East Coast) has a lot of ties with collegiate programs and tells me that Drew is scum. Wouldn't surprise me if there isn't something going on behind the scenes there, despite him being a good coach and recruiter.

Yeah, it would not surprise me either, sdwahoo. I mean, it does seem a tad supicious that a school such as Baylor, with little to no big time tradition, in the middle of nowhere in Waco TX, comes out of nowehere and starts landing the top recruits in the country.
I'm thinking there is big time coin being thrown at these kids by some big time booster over there in order to get them to commit. Otherwise, I can't figure out why any top notch prospect would choose Baylor over the like's of some of the top schools out here in so cal. Unless, of course, they're from the Texas area.
In terms of the Hamilton bros, if it is indeed down to us or Baylor, I would think they would choose us. Especialy with the fact they're both from so cal. If they were to choose Baylor over us, that further add to the speculation as to what's really going on over there....

Lots of good info in this thread. I really think Fisher will hold off on using the last scholorship unless it is for Pelle or Shepard. Unlike this year, depth won't be a problem with next year's team.
Remember, we are only losing two players off this year's team and it seems like SDSU has eyes on A LOT of 2013 recruits. I think we do have a good shot at the Hamilton brothers. They have come down to see SDSU play 3 times and being close to home has to be appealing to them.

Yes, we have shot at all three. Been told if Pelle passes his pep classes he is coming here and the Hamilton's are down to us and Baylor.

Please stop all this speculation about Baylor possibly cheating, paying recruits, etc. I'm not in any way shape or form a Baylor fan, but don't just start up random theories because they've improved so many of their teams. Remember, to a lesser extent nationally, SDSU has improved almost all of their sports programs across the board the last few years. Are you having suspicions about us too? Maybe they're emphasizing their sports programs more than they were before. That sounds a lot like us doesn't it?

Been told if Pelle passes his pep classes he is coming here and the Hamilton's are down to us and Baylor. Really? Where did you hear that information regarding Pelle? I read from someone else in this thread that Pelle basically said that it would be a while before he decided and was more than likely holding out for "bigger offers." If that information you heard regarding Pelle is true, that is awesome news. Hopefully, that is the case with him. He would be the man on this team next year if indeed he decides to commit here.

Difference is that Baylor is having success with 4* and 5* prospects that they started to land out of nowhere. The Aztecs are currently having success with 2* and 3* prospects.

Exactly my point reagrding that issue with Baylor recently. This is a school that hasn't experienced any more successs than SDSU traditionally. As a matter of fact, SDSU has more post season apperances in basketball than Baylor I believe. But, seemingly out nowehere, not only are they landing top notch, 5* recruits, they seem to be landing the top 5-10 prospects in the ESPNU 100 all of a sudden. Look, if these players are choosing to go to Baylor based on the coaching staff and overall style of play, fine. However, like I stated earlier, I do find it a tad suspicious that this school has virtually come out of nowehere recently(in both football and basketball) and are all of a sudden at or near the top of the recruting classes recently. Not to mention like you said, the difference between Baylor and SDSU recently is that they're landing the top 5* recutis, where as SDSU is getting more of the 2-3* variety. Sure, there are a couple of 4* transfers here and there in the likes of Polee and Johnson, but SDSU is not exactly lnading the top 5-10 prospects in the country like Baylor has recently.
