Indeed, you don't stop pursuing them, even if they don't pick you. They'll remember it when the become unhappy with their first choices and look to transfer.
Always keep the door open for them to return.

Daily Aztec twitter account just teased a big bball story coming out tomorrow afternoon that "...may or may not be related to T.J. Leaf's announcement..."
Is it possible for a recruit to sign an NLI without it becoming public?

Is it possible for a recruit to sign an NLI without it becoming public? Damn, first post? I was skeptical you meant business. But damn. I'm either going to be goddamn ecstatic tomorrow mid-day, or I swear to everything holy and righteous I will never again read another sports article from the Daily Aztec and may boycott the entire Journalism department. You can't F around like this. Thanks for the heads up, I guess?

I do hope this "HUGE" MBB story is that TJ Leaf will sign a NLI to attend SDSU......How can one not hope for that? C'mon TJ, the MESA has a place for you!

We lost Drew Gordon to New Mexico 5-6 years ago because what he stated was the fan base support @ New Mexico compared to SDSU! At the time, we did not sell out our games like we do now.
Now, TODAY, that is 100% a different story!
Ucla fans are prima donnas much like laker fans! No win, no support! Sadly, we are no different with our football team even when we win 5 in a row! Hopefully, we get 40k for the homecoming game this weekend.
Remember the UCLA game @ the Honda center? We had 17k fans & maybe there were 1,000 UCLA fans if they were lucky!!!
One post I read made me laugh....
Something about the closed door ucla scrimmage & the fans not being in the stands.....
Paraphrasing.... The Closed door scrimmage had as many fans as a regular home game for ucla!
I have a feeling that we get TJ Leaf because of "the show" & our Viejas arena environment - my $0.02! I hope I'm right!

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if one or two of the kids we recruited for 2016 end up transferring to us in a year or two, similar to J.J. O'Brien and X Thames. Possibly. But these guys will probably be two and done.

Over on the recruiting board AZTEC4LIFE1992 makes a very good point: "For what's worth, people have mentioned how ucla and Compton magic are both addidas, while oregon, sdsu and Zona are nike. Obviously, there is the pull on leaf from the aau club to attend ucla, an addidas school. But there may be greater influence on leaf to attend ucla from another addidas school, Foothills Christian.
Yes, Foothills Christian, Leaf's current high school, is an Adidas school, just like UCLA and the Compton magic. Oh yeah, Foothills coach just happens to be Leaf's father. Could there be some family pressure on leaf to keep addidas happy (and the money flowing to Leaf's father at Foothills Christian) by attending UCLA?"Read more: aztecmesa.proboards.com/thread/47825/leaf-announcing-on-thursday?page=50#ixzz3rIG3DAx1Now I'm 95% sure, and 95% bummed. I just hope TJ picks where TJ WANTS to go.

May be a pipe dream, but I hope TJ goes on national TV and says something to the effect of "This is for that POS "reporter" that wanted to put SDSU in its place in the recruiting landscape".
And then puts on a Disgruntled Monty hat...

I doubt the DA has gotten word from TJ and is waiting for him to formally announce for them to hit submit on the article. Just like everyone else I think he's going to UCLA, if not I will be stoked.

That was from Nov 4. It's just a 'pinned' tweet.
