First and for most the goal for the Aztecs should be getting to SW 16 , E8 or better . IMO we need top rated players or better . Do hope Max is a guy who can regularly hit shots . He is as you mention a taller 6'8" version of Matt S 6'6". A set shooter on the wing or top of the key. He did make 4 of 11-threes- during the BIG season last year .and 10 of 28 for the whole season. He is a decent player.
But in order for the Aztecs to get to the SW16 level and beyond we are going to need to try to get even better players . That is why I hope we have a scholarship available for Aaron , and that he selects us over the Huskies , Ducks , USC , Zags . Those are some major programs trying to sign him. The coaches recruited Aaron before and must have a positive feeling about him for this year or would not have extended the invite . He was rated #30 recruit in 2014, and has the ability to be a definite starter scorer from numerous places on the court - he can hit threes off the drive , slam the ball or feed others at the 3 or 2 positions . Go look at his HS All Star clips.Yes he messed things up last year . If he did come here the coaches have a full year to assist him on getting his game together , could easily be the replacement starter for Malik when he leaves in 2016 . We have Narain but are going to need other high quality players to get to the upper level . Think he is a guy who could elevate the team , if not, then he is gone but well worth the opportunity to land a possible high recruit . We are trying to get Cage and but it is not easy to get the top recruits . read the current posts about Hands , McCoy , ...... I think Aaron could be a guy with a lot to prove and we need him . if we have a scholarship to land him . But if Nolan comes in 2015 and Max takes another scholarship , we do not have one , unless we pull what IU did have 15 scholarship offers but only 13 guys get them and some one leaves or guys walk on. IMO Aaron could be a difference maker , worth the scholarship to get us to a higher level .
