Word around UW is they're done for 2016 and McD is a big SDSU lean anyway.
Question, do we go hard for McD or do we see how Leaf and Cage shake out first?
I'm thinking it'd musical chairs and anyone who is worthy of a visit and grabs a chair gets one.
Plus, if both Leaf and Cage decide to come we'll make room.
Anyway, unless he's really serious about ASU I think we could see a commit over the next 3-4 days.

Anyway, unless he's really serious about ASU I think we could see a commit over the next 3-4 days. UW has 9 incoming players and 2 commits, they are running out of room. Both ASU and Texas are in the mix for Mc Daniels, there's no way we wait for Leaf and Cage if J Boogie is the least bit interested. You go hard on him based on his summer and ceiling. Leaf? I can't see it? Do you?

We really need another PF/C or two for that matter . This is his first visit, would guess he has others , so will be interested to hear what he says or does after the visit . He may also say he wants to visit other places to see where is the best fit for him but knows how good it is here . Also would think if Cage or Leaf have an interest they would at least talk with our coaches to set up a visit or unofficial not just mention we are on their possible list .
By my count we have 10 scholarships for 2016( with Malik - until he says he is turning PRO ) and would guess we may want to make sure we have the 13th scholarship set aside for a possible transfer . So as of today 2 definite scholarships and maybe 3.
Little doubt Leaf is looking for the best scenario for his top 15 rating . Most likely a Blue Blood School , and we are not there yet. Cage is not as highly rated and will be very interested to see what he is really looking for - the best Blue Blood or SDSU - where there is room to develop and will have strong local support . Every recruit is different on what is important to them.
Most important is getting guys that want to come here as their primary choice not on the rebound .

I think we can squeeze all them in regardless, lots of people see McDaniels as a redshirt candidate wherever he ends up.
But little doubt if leaf commits and mcdaniels decommits you take that trade all the time.
I've said how I feel about leaf before and sdsu's chances so I will not rehash that.
McDaniels confirmed to Eric Bossi that SDSU is the only visit he currently has scheduled.

Agree. Leafs a long shot but still a shot, and McDaniels could be a RS candidate if we have enough bodies to fill rotation. I really think he's ours to lose, as the guy who said he's a strong SDSU lean is a HS coach in south Seattle area and appears to have good info. We will see. Again, I think Cage and McDaniels are both strong SDSU leans, and Leaf is frosting. All will fit on our roster.

Today Quevyn Winters is the sixth player to leave Udub this season, as Nigel Williams-Goss (Gonzaga), Jernard Jarreau (Tulane), Darin Johnson (Cal-State Northridge) and Gilles Dierickx (Seattle Pacific) all transferred . Center Robert Upshaw was also dismissed from the team in late January and went undrafted in the 2015 NBA Draft. Romar is bringing in 9 new players and has 2 commits in 2016. There's no room for McD right now.

Aren't all of the guys who play the 4 or 5 positions freshmen , sophomores or juniors, so all would be there for 2016 ( unless the revolving door continues up there ? and another thing to mention to Jalen or his parents )

UW brings in a JC center in the 2016 class, and it sounds like he could arrive in January and be eligible. Can't recall his name. McDaniels isn't going to UW IMO, so curious how serious ASU is? Ours to lose....

Not sure if it's been referenced, but just saw on rivals.Com in weekend visits it comments about McDaniels upside and they "wouldn't be surprised to see him commit this weekend."
I'd link but on phone and heading to bed. : )

The PAC schools have continued to do a great job of recruiting quality recruits , not only the Top Blue Blood schools but also those in the middle of the PAC .
Yes saw the thoughts on Rivals.com that McDaniels was visiting SDSU and there is a chance he could make a commitment . We do need a PF/C or two, to go along with Narain and Zylan for 2016 .

How can MSU not be considered "blue blood" in today's game given what Izzo has done? Wisconsin? Id put Arizona on a different level than most programs. Whether you call them elite or blue blood I think is trivial, but get your point. All that said, schools like UNLV, SDSU and Gonzaga are just as likely to land elite classes as many of the elite programs IMO, and all it takes is one kid to redefine a school (e.g. cal).

I'd respectifully disagree that the term "Blue Blood" is dynamic in nature, as it historically implies a royal bloodline that is hereditary and by its very definition cannot be gained by someone outside of that established, royal line. I would therefore suggest there is a disctinction between "elite" and "blue blood." While programs surely may become elite, their ascension to the level where they gain such recognition does not necessarily make them blue-blooded. Similarly, UCLA's descent into mediocrity (a trend Hitler Alford looks to be reversing) did not dimish their status as a 'Blue Blood.'

Fine ,, categorize U of A and UCLA whatever you prefer ,if we can stay on topic , of Jalen McDaniel . Due hope he has SDSU at the top of his list when he goes on other visits. We need a PF/ C or two for 2016 and he seems to have a lot of the skills what we are looking for .

The historical hierarchy of college basketball.
Teams: Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, UCLA
Since 1965 (last 50 years) there have only been four Final Fours that did not include one of those six teams; 2013, 1985, 1983, 1979. That is a crazy statistic.
