with Zabo gone we can now get a 5th year F and PG right? SDSU will have 2 Scholarships available for next year, so yes, should Coach choose to go that direction.

Believe Aztecs are waiting to hear what HS recruit, Nolan Narain, will establish as his class 2015 or 2016 and what his thoughts are about the Aztecs . So as of today believe Aztecs are holding a 2015 scholarship for him , until he tells them something . So as of today there is 1 scholarship for him. Narain, 6'10" C/PF is a very good recruit that is rising on the Rivals boards . 2015 or 2016 is going to be his decision. We all know major need for 2016 is going to be at least one C/5 , to replace both Skylar and Chol. Not sure where we are for any other C/5 Ben Kone or ..... for 2016 when our current centers have graduated . We are also hoping to sign 2016 recruit M. Cage , believe he wants to play PF/4 . Also do not know exact plans for 2015 recruit BJ . Is he a C/5 for 2016 ? So first thought is what Winston decides to do . His stats last year include 11 points, 5 rebounds , 2 assists , draws a lot of fouls , makes 67% FT . Knows and plays D . Team leader , that if he returns knows it is his last year to make an impression on the NBA , while in college.

Tyus Jones declares for NBA draft. Duke now is desperate need of PG for 2015/16. Hurts everybody else looking for 'topflight' PG/grad transfer.

Would guess Duke had an idea Jones was going to leave for the NBA . They did sign Luke Kennard #25 one of the best 3 point shooters from 2015 HS class . Could move Grayson to PG .Possibly Sign #55 rated, D . Jefferson a PG from NC area, or Marcus Lovett . Or as you mention go after a grad transfer that they want and most likely get .
Also still believe as of today , Aztecs are happy if JH is the PG for 2015-16 . For scholarships, HS recruit, Nolan Narain ,waiting to hear if he is still interested in the Aztecs for 2015 or 2016 or SDSU , he has still not decided what year he will start college and what college . He did visit Viejas for the game vs Nevada. The need for a C for 2016 is great and he has quickly moved up the Rivals charts to number #65. Then there is grad transfer Mark Tollefson (sp) 6'9" . who has visited. rated best play at USF, 14 points per game. Not sure if or what grad transfer PG, the coaches have looked at. Believe Fisher has said he wanted a scorer .

There's been talk of Derryck Thornton, Jr. reclassifying to 2015, now that Tyus Jones is gone that may be too good of an opportunity for him Thornton to pass up.

Semi off-topic, but has anyone ever seen so many guys who are considering "reclassifying"? Maker, Thornton & I believe I've seen at least 3 others who are big time, nevermind the secondary players?
Did all these guys double-up (ala Zylan) anticipating this, and if so, why is the potential to reclassify just now coming to the forefront? Seems really odd. Thinking back there's no way in the middle of my junior year I could have said "hey, I think I'll graduate THIS year".
Anyway, struck me as odd.
I think if Thornton does reclassify it'll be for Dook, but when will that domino fall & how will it impact Ennis & others? With so many "if this then that..." scenarios recruiting at this time of the year must be insane.

I like Tollefson's ability to finish around the hoop, he can be a nice option when Pope needs a breather.

I believe pretty much all Canadians get sent back a year when headed to states this is why lots of them like Murray and maker consider reclassifying. As for Thornton I have just heard he is a really smart kid way ahead of schedule

Duke knew their PG was thinking of leaving for a while . Has been recruiting PG Thorton for a while . So there may have thoughts planted for him to look at graduating early . At Findlay Prep , we know a lot of things can get handled quickly for their athletes .
you are also correct the Canadian school system is ahead of the schooling in the US , so it maybe easier to take the courses needed to finish early. Not sure if there was also talk about Nolan Narain going to a prep school for 2015 , but now has been trying to find out if he could now finish early and go to a college ? IMO if he is interested in becoming an Aztec either 2015 or 2016 , he is some one who we need to save a scholarship for .

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 would Narain want to red shirt?
