Kaleb is Arizona's 7 ft center . Arizona lost 2 forwards and maybe a third Stanley J a SF. surprised he has not declared yet . so 2 or 3 forwards could be gone. Rabb is a PF so would battle Ryan Anderson for PT .or one could play C if they want to go quicker . So more PT for Rabb at CAL . He got injured in the All Star game this Saturday , but nothing serious. He can go with the proven team or a team that Could be on the way up , but so are numerous other PAC schools . CAL did not get the recruit that is off to MSU but did get the 3 star guard .
Mart T , sounds as if he is smartly waiting to see , who is leaving certain schools , what recruits are heading where and where it would be the best fit for him . what scholarships and PT could be available . Correct there is no mention in the Ut , what WS 's or DA's final plans are for this fall . Also Aztecs are waiting to hear back from HS recruit Nolan Narain . He may become a 2015 recruit rather then 2016. So there are still a lot of moving parts . Believe some of the Aztecs coaches have been out looking at various HS tournaments .

Tollefsen won't be going to AZ if they get 1 or both of Damion Lee and Ivan Rabb. AZ is only taking 1 graduate transfer and he'd be third string PF if they get rabb, AZ also probably would be more interested in looking for guards.

If the choice is between MT and Narian, I choose 4 years of Narian. Something tells me that another schollie will open up and we can get both players. |

That would tell how seriously he's considering being an Aztec. If Raab picks UofA, he might pass on them and then decide on Cal, with opposite being also true. Just happened to see a tweet from Raab from an hour ago on the SF Chron website saying he will announce tomorrow and it is down if Cal and UofA. Straight from the horse's twitter account. |

Yeah he has and I think people have said his girlfriend goes to USD. He's also tweeted about how he liked San Diego when he was here and was missing San Diego after he left. |

Seems he knows quite a lot about SDSU. Have not heard anything about a visit. Thought I saw somewhere(here maybe) that his girlfriend goes to USD? I think he might be a good fit here, but only 1 scholarship left for this year and some seem to think an offer to Nolan Narain would be more in order and better for our program........In Fish I trust! Guy looks like he can score well and we all know our teams issues with that part of the game the last few years. |

I agree but Narain really should come in and redshirt. I mean, he will be all of 17 years of age when the season starts so however emotionally mature he might be, in order to maximize his skills, he could use a year to develop his body while running with the team in practice. If he's truly emotionally mature, he will get that. Josh davis had a much better junior year than tollefsen. And frankly the rebounding gap is huge. Better, yes. However, at this point in time, what we really need is offense and that's Tollefsen's forte. |

With Swanigan to Michigan State... am I rooting for Rabb to Arizona... to increase our chances of landing Tollefsen?  |

Fisher has said Aztecs need guys to score the ball . Well if we lose Winston that would really hurt the offense and defense . WS's stats from last year 11 points, 5 rebounds, almost 2 assists , 40 % FG ,draws more fouls then any other Aztec and leadership as 4 year player in the system plus Defense - do you think he may be able to bump that up to 15 if he returns. yes Mark T did average 15 points but not sure if it was losing Winston but adding Mark T it would make the team better . Yes if Winston leaves yes we need help quickly.
IT usually seems to many, that the "new players" are better then the "older improving guys" Aztecs lose with the seniors JJ , DP and DP a total 20 points per game . Is there a chance that Malik can go from 5 points to 15 + . As pointed out can we get 15 points from Skylar and Chol rather then 8 . Last year we got 13 total per game from Kell , Shrigley and Allen . This year can we expect 25 from them, plus 12 to 15 from JH , Zabo , Zylan , . If so that would mean more points instead of the 20 we lost .Guys that can score the basketball . Also maybe adjust the offense's scheme . to fit the players on the 2015-16 team.
Key is if we lose Winston ,really need Mark T. If Winston comes back then just adding Narain and the growth of others can add the scoring we are going to need .

I love that he is teasing all those PAC12 teams. If Narain wants to red shirt this year, I would pass. Encourage him to not reclassify or take a non playing year at a JC. We will be a final 4 type team with Tollefsen. MT making us a "FF type team" is some strong language. I think we will be improved if he joins SDSU.What brings you to this type thinking? Just general improvement from our current players and the addition of MT? From what little I have seen of MT's play, I do like his game.You really think MT is "teasing" the PAC 12 Conference teams and will come here? You know sumtin you not sharing? BTW I do love all your math problem solving and about the defense diffs between conferences and many many other numerical issues that arise during the season. |

Why we would have a final 4 type team with MT: Pope and MT would be two stretch forwards that would be impossible to matchup for most teams. They would be very efficient and make everyone else better offensively. They could open the middle by playing 4 out, or post up small forwards. Playing 3 forwards with Winston along with Skylar and Hemsley would give us a monster starting lineup that would make this year's look small. I am expecting Skylar to surprise everyone next year and I expect Hemsley to also be a big surprise and be starter worthy. |

With Zabo leaving I think we should go after Tollefsen hard. If Narain decides to come here we can afford to redshirt him if that is what he wants. A player for now, one who could get us deeper in March and one for the future.

Ivan Rabb is going to announce his decision Monday -- between Arizona and Cal. Tollefsen is considering both schools, but seems like Rabb going to Arizona would help the Aztecs' chances with Tollefsen much more. Can't see him going to UA with Tarzewski back and Rabb to compete with (among others). To be honest... I'd take Tollefsen over Tarc anyday. That kid was WAY overrated coming out of HS. |

The priority is to try to get Winston back . his average stats 11 points, 5 rebounds , almost 2 assists, 40FG%, shot 67 % FT but a stat that does not show up in the box score is how many fouls he draws on the opponents . Also a great passer and plays D . Then add he is the emotional and on court leader of the team . Let him play forward opposite Malik and they could be incredible with Sky in the middle or an improved Chol . With Zylan coming in . Do not think any of the transfer could match his numbers or leadership on both ends of the court . Yes Mark T could help but he is not the guy that would be the only difference maker . It will be if the returning guys turn it up and JH can handle the PG position . Also please do not try to make guys PG's that are not Winston is not , AQ was not a PG and Kell is not a PG .
do think we need to try to see if we have an opportunity to sign Narain , if yes then he needs a scholarship for whatever year he wants to begin be it 2015 or 2016.
