Just got off the phone with 3-star F Brodricks "Buddah" Jones from Lawndale High. He's coming to SDSU. Really blew up in last month.

Awesome. Wonder where this leaves us with Aflakpui and Grimes. As usual, in Fish we trust.

Didn't we just offer him last week?
Edit: I think Grimes is a SF, Jones is a PF, might hurt us with Aflac but I don't think so with Grimes.

I hope Rivals is more accurate than ESPN... 6'9" /205 on Rivals... 6'9"/190 on ESPN  |

Didn't we just offer him last week? According to 247, the kid picked up 6 offers in the past 11 days....with 5 of those offers coming after SDSU offered on 7/20. 247sports.com/Player/Brodricks-Jones-26357Discussion about Jones' play at the AAU circuit over the past week: Brodricks Jones, PF, Cal Supreme: Jones has to be considered the West Coast Comeback Player of the Year. He was an elite prospect as a freshman who showed flashes but was inconsistent during his sophomore and junior seasons. He’s always had the size, length and athleticism and now he’s putting it all together in the most important week of his career. Jones scored around the basket, faced up and hit jumpers, defended, rebounded and played with strong effort. His recruitment has done a 180 and for good reason. scouthoops.scout.com/story/1426526-las-vegas-day-three-top-performersI don't understand this?? "Jones logged only 11.7 minutes per game as a junior, scoring 2.2 points and grabbing 2.9 boards per game." www.mwcconnection.com/2014/7/31/5957359/san-diego-state-basketball-three-star-power-forward-brodricks-jones |

“That’s the only game I’ve been to at Viejas Arena,” Jones said by phone. “That’s all I needed to see.”

That's weird because earlier before that statement it says "Jones kept it up as a junior, averaging over 15 points and 10 rebounds per game." in that same article. |

Comeback is right. 247 had him rated 97 one year ago and now rated as 88. That is not his ranking but rating. 97 is top 20 type player. Was he injured during his junior year?

The article says he was a Top 10 prospect after his freshmen year and slowly slid down to his current rating. Although he will probably start moving on up now. |

6'9" & athletic will fit our style of play all day. More so than that aflakpui guy who is more of a bruiser/below the rim/ traditional center. I guess if Grimes wants to come here the staff will take him but if not i'd like to think they will hold on to that 1 scholarship and wait for an available impact transfer later on.

I wouldn't assume the Aztecs will stop at 3 recruits.

We stopped recruiting Grimes a while back |
