According to Mark Zeigler, he's reporting Winston is coming back. Can't say I'm surprised because I would've been shocked had he declared. Welcome back Winston, I hope you have a big year and take us far.

Anytime your leading scorer, rebounder and lock-down defender with the athletic capabilities that Winston has, announces they are coming back for their senior season, it is obviously great news.
I'm happy for him and SDSU.
This is a big opportunity and will off-set the major losses that we will already be experiencing with JJ, AQ and Polee graduating.
It should help make us a pre-season top 25 team.
Thank you, Winston. Your basketball life has not gone as you originally planned, but we are excited to have you for the coming season.

If his attitude, leadership, and game can all stay on the same trajectory as they are now, we are all in for one tremendous senior year.

He can play, dare I say, a better version of JJ's role the last few years. JJ has had an iron grip on Winston's most natural position since Shep stepped on to the Mesa. Now we will have a more athletic, better rebounding, player who can pass and finish shots against taller players. Woo hoo!

Awesome news. We just landed the equivalent of a 4-star senior transfer who can play multiple positions with his decision.
Now that this chip has fallen, hopefully the next includes landing a certain HS reclassified center & a certain stretch 4, or at least 1 of the 2.

If both Pope & Shepard left for the draft I think getting back to the tournament for a 7th straight year would have been tough. Now that they are both coming back I think a spot in the Sweet 16 is attainable. The 'Program' rolls on.

Welcome back? Where did Shep go? I don't see what all the hype is about. I don't see Shep as an NBA player in the slightest. I hope he can make some shots next year and play like he wants to be in the association.

If, you thought Shepard did alright in his first three years as an Aztec just wait until his fourth. Nowdays very few college players stay in college for all four years, so I am extremely happy that he will be here. His talent, and mental attitude will be tremendous to our team next season, and that's not even mentioning his experience! Winston will be the player many coaches wish they had, and can help the Aztecs get closer to the Final Four than ever before. You can't ask for anything better! Thank you Winston, and GO AZTECS!!!!!!   |

I'd like to see how much more he can improve, and am wondering how many touches he will get a game now that it's pretty much his team.

This should not be a comparison thread, however if we look at just total NCAA tournament wins:
Tapley: 3
Winston: 4 with a season to play

All three played in the postseason, but only Tapley played in four straight NCAA Tournaments. DJ played his first two seasons in the NIT, and Shelton played one season in the NIT. |

Nice dig.
I really hope Winston goes out and becomes a lottery pick next season.
