Would guess he will continue to play AAU events and try to improve his ratings to see what additional offers he may get from as many quality schools as he can get . Would guess we may no longer be on his radar .
In addition the 6'10 " PF- Lucas Siewart , that had committed to ASU , has now also re -opened up his recruiting for 2016 .

My gut feeling is that Max Hoetzel commitment makes Brendan Bailey much less likely to eventually end up here.

Bailey is a very highly recruited HS player that could be looking at the higher level of college teams . Not sure we are still in consideration as his ratings increase ., trying to get offer from Duke , Kansas , Kentucky ... While I could agree if SDSU has 3 or 4 guys at SF for 2016 , it may affect Bailey's decision . But would doubt he would consider Max to be that threat . Bottom line Bailey will look for the best college team he can get, but also look for an opportunity to be a starter on a team that can do a long run in MM .

Matt Moreno @mattgoazcats · 2m2 minutes ago Brendan Bailey said he has had a handful of conversations with Sean Miller but SDSU & Gonzaga are recruiting hardest

As he hits the AAU circuit and improves his game , he will get even more offers . If a top 10 school offers could be very difficult to sign him. Although 2016 has a lot more guards and forwards to choose from and less C or PF , rated near the top of most rating services .

Bailey already has offers from like of Utah, AZ (though I'm sure as a backup plan), Gonzaga, and UConn. It is pretty obvious SDSU will be in this to the end though won't be a easy pull. I'm sure he'll get good offers, but I doubt blue bloods like UK or Duke will be knocking on his door. Also on twitter everybody has been raving about him for months whenever he has played, so it sounds like his stock is on rise.

After not getting Aaron getting Bailey becomes very important if the Aztecs hope to reload for 2016 .

After not getting Aaron getting Bailey becomes very important if the Aztecs hope to reload for 2016 . Shaq Aaron and ironically Keith Smith who goes to the same school Aaron went. If Smith doesn't change his commitment, we are probably not looking at Bailey. Best case scenario is Narian re-classifies to 2015 and redshirts, we add Bailey, Cage and 2 more among Moore, Cyrus or Kone.

Yes Smith did sign with the Ducks , that is why we were after Aaron , now that we also did not sign Aaron , we need a high quality SF/SG that is why trying to sign Bailey is very important , who can play both positions, as is adding another quality C/PF . as we have seen being close does Not mean we are getting to the goal actually adding the quality guys . Maybe we can get incredibly lucky and Narain can convince his team mate Humphries 5/C to come here . But more likely hope we can land Bailey , or Cage PF or Kone PF .Maybe another SG if we can not get Bailey . Not sure what other quality SF have us in their plans.

We are also Trevor Stanback.

Cage is just being recruited, as I doubt the staff would pigeon hole him to solely a power forward or center position. They want him for his skill, his legacy, and maybe as importantly, his Segway to the Mater Dei talent pool. They'll tell him that he and Nolan can play off each other, and hopefully he's not deterred by the fact that we recruited another player of similar size and skillset. Only time will tell on this one! And from what I hear, we're not high on Stanback's wish list, I wouldn't bother putting in the time if I were the staff....plus I think he's overrated.

Well we are in top 5 on stanback's list based on rivals article yesterday , I think Nc state and Stanford are at top though. As for cage, watch him run, he's purely a center, he and Narain are not similar.

Would agree Aztecs are recruiting Cage for his skills on both ends of the court . Believe he is looking to play same position in college as he would play in the NBA- PF /4 or what ever you choose to call it. ( yes guys do envision themselves playing in the NBA and that is why top rated players play college ball to prep them for the NBA) ). Narain seems to be a similar style player , but could be an even better outside shooter . So the coaches will need to show both Cage and Narain how they will use them on offense and defense . Positioning on the court .... Do both prefer to face the basket or back to the basket ... ? Will require the coaches to visually show them on the computer how it will work .

As for cage, watch him run, he's purely a center, he and Narain are not similar. Agreed. As of this past season Cage's skillset is nowhere near the same as Narain's & he has a LONG ways to go to even think about playing the 4 in college, never mind the next level. He's a player though (albeit overrated IMO) but he'd still be great in a double post setup with Narain, with Narain working the 6-16 range, and Cage more in the paint. Wherever they end up playing they're weapons, which is what you want. Even if they rarely play together.

Cage would be a great get for our program... but his offensive game has a LONG way to go. I could easily see Cage on the block with Narain floating all over the court. No issues with both of them on the court together for extended periods of time.

Cage would be a huge get, he can make free throws, has great hands, and is the son of an aztec legend. What more could you ask for.

If you see Cage play you know he is not a PF. He is a 5 in college. Narian is a point forward. Cage is a classic under the basket kind of player. I don't know where you are getting your scouting report but they are not the same type of players at all.
